[unpaid/sample] This collection represents the changing landscape colours at the cusp of autumn/winter running warm to cool. It does explain a couple of colours you couldn’t pay me to put on my nails (well… name a price… ) but maybe my mind will change when what my eyes are seeing outside does. Things always look…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’ve got to admit that I’m quite pleased to see more muted tones arriving – I feel I lost half the summer so we might as well try and make a better go of Autumn! Nails Inc have got some wonderful shades that are just right for the shift in light. I immediately fell…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Nails Inc always seems to capture the mood of the moment – as soon as the heat rises so does our (well, my) desire for colour. This set, On The Horizon, couldn’t capture the festival or holiday mood better and I wish I could still do an ombre nail because this is just made…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] So, this is fun – and it’s genuinely cooling especially if you pop the stick in the fridge. The stick is cucumber scented so it puts you in a fresh frame of mind from the get-go and it feels like there is some kind of mint or menthol but I can’t see it listed…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] There’s a little bit of Dolce & Gabbana about this Nails Inc Made In Mykonos duo I think. I’m really drawn to this set because it really has a holiday feel to it wherever you are going. Once the flip flops are on you can go as wild as you like with toe nails…

[unpaid/sample] Last week I showed you the mini-set from the OPI x X Box collection but this week I’ve got some different shades – still part of the same collection – in big sizes. Some are the same, but it’s useful to see if there’s anything to go full size on. I hadn’t realised there…

[unpaid/sample] I was so pleased to see the new colours from Kure Bazaar. Meet Papillon and Provence – lilac and lavender and sounding just like a new detective series. I’ll be Provence… any takers for Papillon? I think between them sits the Pantone colour of the year – Very Peri – but I’d be happiest…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I don’t feel that X-Box has any relevance but those colours are certainly speaking to me. I’m a big fan of mini-polish because if my beauty stash is anything to go by, full size polish rarely gets used to the last. So, if it’s little and I use it up I feel pleased. That…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] If you’ve still got a spring in your step because of this gorgeous weather that we’ve been having (in the UK) you might like this fresh and fun nail kit that’s all about pastels and flowers. The two pastel shades are Love On The Fly (blue) and Don’t Give A Flutter (lilac) – personally…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] In the past, one-coat polishes were slightly problematic in that they always looked more complete with two coats. Revlon’s new Ultra HD Snap Nail Polish is a new formula that aims to give the completed look in just one coat. You don’t need a base coat or a top coat. First up, a shout…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] As I’m writing about the most summery of drinks I’m in a blanket and have just put the heating on for a few hours. I’m pleased to say though that I have battled through the recent chill to stay dedicated to my favourite wine and shivered my way through the odd glass or two.…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m slightly wary of Pride related products because the movement has become so commercialised which moves things away from the main messaging. But, this (UK) Nails Inc Relationship Status : Proud set gives a healthy 25% of profits during June to Stonewall. I’m particularly interested in their work with schoolchildren – 75,000 reports of…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I always love seeing the new launches from Nails Inc. I’ve got more newness to roll out later in the week but I’m starting with this sweet little set inspired by flowers. This is Detox On Repeat, a creamy bubblegum pink that’s great on any skin tone. In fact, it’s impact is very different…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I love this combination of vibrant, punchy shades and neutral earth tones. As a collection, there’s really something for every mood. It’s inspired by LA beaches which is quite an easy brief I imagine as anything goes. There are 12 shades available – I’ve got five here to show you. This is Pear-adise Cove…

[unpaid/sample] This is a very welcome, beautifully bright collection from Mavala, one of which is going straight on my toes tonight. As you can see straight away, it’s all about optimism and vibrancy which is a theme I think beauty brands will be very hot on over the next few months. I love these flower…
