[unpaid/sample] My favourite nail polish brand, Kure Bazaar, has some new shades out for 2023. Of course, I like all of them, but especially Stella, a glittery coat with tiny, light-catchy twinkles that are so delicate when the sun finds them. Above you can see Grenade followed by Coeur and then Stella. Typically there is…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I do love a bit of neon – if I can find something to wear with a little neon stripe or edge, I’m happy. I’m most likely to wear neon toe nails if I’m heading to the beach but when the sun is out and you’re just loving the brightness of everything it’s a…

[Unpaid/sample] I wasn’t going to do a second post today because I’ve had no fashion finds and have got far too used to short weeks with bank holidays :-). But this CHANEL Nail Looks Set arrived at my door yesterday afternoon and I’ve never put polish on my nails so fast! I am 100% in…

[unpaid/sample] There are quite a few new drops from CHANEL (and MAC) so I’ll start with the newly formulated nail lacquer. As someone who distinctly remembers the Rouge Noir mania, followed by the Jade mania, Chanel’s nail polishes have always made something of a splash. Their base coat is my absolute favourite, followed by their…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Apparently, blue nails is a forthcoming trend for the summer so I’ve been trying out a few from Mavala. I actually like a blue nail but it has to be the right blue – some leave your nails looking like they’ve been biro’d which isn’t what I’m after! On the wheel from left to…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] So, I’ve been experimenting more with the Nails Inc Mani Markers and thought I’d do a super quick tutorial of how to get this wonderfully pared back look. I have had so many comments on it – nobody notices it until they really notice it and the best thing is that literally anyone can do it.…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I feel quite excited about nail products again as my nails have finally got back into shape – ironically, just as my hair is misbehaving. Somehow, I thought the two were linked, health-wise – I haven’t done any research on this but at the back of my mind I think that is the case.…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] The Glazing craze is very much a TikTok thing – designed to give nails the same ‘glazed’ finish as a donut – if you can resist the thought of icing all over your nails it’s actually really pretty, giving a frosty or iridescent finish that’s understated but polished. On the left is Donut Give…

[unpaid/affiliate] I don’t know how it keeps happening but I have another Gucci crush. Of all the brands. But this nail colour – Peggy Sunburn (yes, true!). At first, I thought is was just an insipid, creamy peach that almost looks a bit grubby in the bottle but the transfer shade to nails is a…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Oh yes they did. Either you’re a fan or you’re not a fan (I’m not particularly but I do love a good pink nail polish) but if you are, this is the first ever Percy polish (stop it). Percy always makes an appearance as the special VIP guest at press days and people do…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Maybe I’m just in a very sparkly mood (see tomorrow’s post too!) but having sworn off glitter polishes for ever, the Nails Inc High Definition Nail Glitter tempted me back and I’m so glad. It turns out these polishes are mild by day, but give them some light and they spring into action with…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I cannot even think when the last time I felt tempted to try some false nails on. But these kind of camo from Nails Inc were too good not to have a go. My nails are going into their usual wintery state of awfulness so really, they’re just lightly applied to get the look…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Creme Abricot is already an iconic product, created in 1963 (it’s older than me which isn’t something I can say often about beauty products!) to nourish and strengthen weak nails. For 2022, it’s got a new colour that fits right in with the winter make up collection (coming up tomorrow). Creme Abricot is dressed…
