I’ve been following lots of nail blogs with interest this year, and although I love those with swatches the ones with nail art have got me intrigued. I think for most of the year I would prefer my nails to all be one colour (though I am liking stamping but that’s another post), but for … Continue reading
Revlon Colorstay Intrigue
After a disastrous experience with a blue polish (Orly High on Hope) which seemed to look stunning on everyone but me, I’ve been a little wary of blue polishes. However, Boots currently have a 2 for £10 offer on Revlon so I got some base coat (Colorstay Gel-Smooth Base Coat), and a blue polish, Colorstay … Continue reading
No7 Gel-Look Shine Nail Colour
I visited Boots earlier this week to use up my last No7 £3 make up voucher; I use No7 topcoat so tend to buy that but I sometimes get tempted by a new colour. Lo and behold, something caught my eye – a new collection! Once I had calmed down with excitement (I don’t know … Continue reading
Revlon Colorstay French Roast
This is a polish I’ve had for a while now but only tended to use on my toes. I fancied trying a different shade recently but wanted something glossy with a bit of sparkle. Revlon Colorstay French Roast certainly fits the bill! It’s a deep brown colour with gorgeous flecks of gold glitter. It’s really … Continue reading
Barry M Pink Silver Glitter
Subscribing to nail polish blogs is an expensive habit – I keep finding out about so many polishes I want! I’m going through a phase of loving deep purples and reds, but they’re not always appropriate for work, so I needed a more subtle polish that I still really liked. I spotted Barry M Pink … Continue reading
Barry M textured polish – Kingsland Road
I didn’t think I liked the textured look and feel which is really popular at the moment, but OPI’s Liquid Sand in Stay the Night had made me rethink that decision. Having been so impressed with Barry M, I decided to try one of their textured polishes. I’m not much of a pastel person, so struggled … Continue reading
Allergies, stupid allergies
For a few years now I’ve been occasionally getting a rash and dry skin around my nose, mouth, and eyes. Just when it gets to the stage that I’m going to do something about it (i.e. go to doctor, get allergy tested), it seems to stop. I thought I’d tied it down to a moisturiser, … Continue reading
George Movie Star
Whilst picking up some gluten free goodies in Asda yesterday (it’s the only place I can find smoky bacon Pom Bear!) I spotted a beauty aisle and was drawn in. Even better, I spotted some nail varnish and they were only £1. They’re small bottles (5ml) but I rarely use a full bottle anyway, in … Continue reading
OPI Stay the Night
Having lusted over this on other nail bloggers recent posts, I decided to treat myself. It’s part of the OPI new Liquid Sand collection (part of the Mariah Carey range), though I have to confess I’m not so sure on the textured nails look yet. What convinced me to buy was the gorgeous colour combination … Continue reading
