Wow! What a beautiful polish this is. This is Conversation from SpaRitual’s about-to-be-launched Share collection for Autumn 2013. I don’t have anything at all like this in my collection. It’s described by SpaRitual as a rust shimmer, but I would say the colour is much more like a copper, and it’s not just a shimmer. […] Read more
You may have noticed – or you may not – that I haven’t posted in a while. Well, it’s because I’ve been away on holiday to France for a fortnight. I had a fabulous time. We stayed in a converted barn in the Charente Maritime. It’s an area we’ve been to before, and love it. […] Read more
One of the first polishes I blogged about was Eye Candy It’s All Good.

Passion Fruit is from the new summer range of Gelly Hi-Shine polishes. Five new shades have been added to the […] Read more
It’s sunny! So, it’s time to put on some sunny polish. This is W7 Sunset Island; a bright orange polish with gold shimmer. I actually put this on yesterday – when it wasn’t so sunny – but I feel like I’ve influenced the weather for today and made it turn out so beautifully clear, sunny […] Read more
This is my first splatter manicure. And I can confirm that it was a lot of fun to create. I used Barry M Matte White and Essie Orange, It’s Obvious over the top of my previous Ciate Power Dressing manicure. After laying down lots of newspaper and taping up my nails, I dipped a straw […] Read more
I’m taking part in a Trade School event today. If you’re not aware of these, they’re classes that run on a barter system. The teacher gives a class on something they know about, and instead of paying to attend, the delegates bring something the teacher has asked for – like food, clothes, knowledge or practical […] Read more
