I have one of the new Toppers top coats to show today. This is Top Secret and is one of 20 universal gel top coats that can be used to transform a gel manicure. I’ve used Bluesky A24 as the base, a plain navy gel polish. Once I’d cured the two coats, I added the […] Read more
Morgan Taylor Put A Wing On It is the second of six polishes in the Sweetheart Squadron collection that I am reviewing. Once again I feel that Morgan Taylor has mis-described a polish. They call it a fiery red, but I think it’s more of a burnt orange in colour. The base does lean quite […] Read more
This beauty is Bundle Monster Night Fall, a thermal, colour-changing gel polish. It’s quite thick, as with all Bundle Monster gel polishes that I have used – so it needs a little care when applying. But it’s not hard to apply, it just requires more attention at the cuticle and along the sides to get […] Read more
I bought A England Whispering Waves as soon as it was launched. It’s a duochromatic turquoise holographic polish – what could be better? It paints on perfectly. All the A England nail polishes I’ve ever tried have a perfect application. It dries very quickly and a little matte too. It was almost a one-coater, and […] Read more
This is a swatch of OPI Muir Muir On The Wall, from the San Francisco collection of Autumn 2013. The final effect of this polish is of an auburn brown with bronze shimmer. In make-up though, it’s a copper/bronze shimmer in a sheer black base. It is supposed to be, according to OPI, a plum […] Read more
Yesterday I reviewed Modern Craftsman, and today I’m wearing another polish from the same collection, SpaRitual Eye For Detail. It is a pearlescent, shimmery pale gold colour. The official SpaRitual information describes it as a cream colour. But I think it has too much sparkle and glow to be considered a cream. It is definitely […] Read more
Today I’m wearing SpaRitual Modern Craftsman, which comes from the new Pause collection for autumn 2015. It is a lovely regal purple colour, with red micro glitters. This manicure was perfect in two coats, but definitely needs a top coat to smooth out the glitters. I used just one top coat and although it felt […] Read more
I made it to the end. This is post number fifty-two, the last one for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge. The prompts were dark and grungey and/or zig zags. I chose zig zags, which are also quite dark. But not grungey! The base and plain nails are Chanel Fortissimo. This is a gorgeous […] Read more
This is September’s Coloristiq Manicure Box. It’s called Nails and the City. Coloristiq are the people behind the nail polish “hire” scheme. But you purchase this box, not hire it, so you get to keep the goodies! It costs £15 plus £2.80 P&P. Every box is themed and this month the nail polishes celebrate some […] Read more
This navy blue with silver geometric stamping manicure for the 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge is a bit of a cop out. The two prompts are TV and free choice. TV sounded too hard for me. I could only think that I would be needing to freehand something intricate. So free choice was easier. […] Read more
