Benecos Ice Ice, Baby! with Diamond Glitter Half Moons | Twinsie Tuesday

For the glitter placement prompt for Twinsie Tuesday, I have some diamond glitter half moons, and a review of a new (to me) polish brand. I’ll start with the polish first. This pastel blue is Ice Ice, Baby! from benecos. There are eighteen colours to choose from, and 6 of those are new, as part […] Read more

Red with Diamond Glequins: M is for: Multi-coloured

We’re half way through the A2Z series challenge, so that means it’s M this week. And M is for multi-coloured. I’ve used some diamond shaped glequins that I bought from Born Pretty Store. I forgot I had these. They look very striking on the nail though, so I’ll be using them again! There are all […] Read more

Q is for: Queen Vic by Butter London, with round pink glitters

It’s letter Q this week in the A to Z series challenge and because I didn’t have a Q, I went out and bought one (nooorty me!) The first Q that I could find was Queen Vic from Butter London. I don’t have any other polishes by Butter London. They are so expensive (£10.50) and […] Read more

Ciaté Cupcake Queen with glequins: Hot Pink: GOT Polish Challenge

I have four polishes that I bought on the same day – back in September 2012 – that are still unused. I bought them all in The Original Factory Shop. I thought they […] Read more

NYC Mint Macaroon with gold glequins

I wanted to jazz up yesterday’s manicure a bit. Green really isn’t my favourite colour, and although I liked my nails, I didn’t like them enough to leave them plain. So I added some gold glequins (I still think they should be called hexaquins!). I’ve only added them to my ring fingers, as accent nails, […] Read more

Multi-coloured glequin accent nail

What are glequins, you may be asking? Well, they were called that by the inimitable Sammy of The Nailasaurus, as a conjunction of the words glitter and sequins, because they are larger than one,  but smaller than the other. Cool name, I think, and it seems to have pretty much stuck in the nail polish […] Read more
