  • The Vineyard

    *taps microphone* Is this thing on? Well, its been a little while, hasn’t it? I’m sure some of you thought that you’d probably never hear from me again. I’m quite ashamed to say that I haven’t managed to contribute anything to Just Nice Things for quite some time now. I hadn’t forgotten about the blog,…

  • OPI Beige-Jing

    A few weeks ago, my company moved offices. Not far, just across the business park, but as moves go, apparently it was quite a stressful one. We are now sat in our shiny new offices, with a whole host of meeting rooms that have been named after Olympic cities. So now, I get a message…

  • OPI Euro-Mazing!

    This has been in my scheduled posts for an absolute eternity and its only now that it has risen to the top of the pile. Quite appropriate really, as I understand there’s some kind of football going on at the moment. Apparently this is a really old discontinued polish – so much so that I…

  • OPI Edin-Burgundy

    I’m on a bit of a roll at the moment with these OPI British polishes. I don’t know why – they just seem to be at the top of all my unposted photos. Here we have Edin-Burgundy, which is jut a fantastic name. I’ve been to Edinburgh a couple of times and really enjoyed myself.…

  • OPI Party In My Cabana

    Well this is a frustrating scenario. Do you ever find that your tastes change over time? When I first bought this polish, I decided that I didn’t really like it. I think I wore it once and then opted to dispose of it in a blog sale. Fast forward a couple of years and I…

  • OPI Maine-iac Mauve

    I’ve very nearly finished showing you all of the older photos in my collection. Well, the ones from this folder any way – I suspect there may be a load more lurking in the hard drive on my laptop, which I have to be honest, I haven’t gone anywhere near since I received an iPad…

  • OPI Queen of West Web-erly

    A return to a very old post today. I realised that I took these photos a while back and wanted to re-post them with the original review for you. Just a couple of notes on this – I don’t watch Beverley Hills 90210 any more (it just wasn’t the same) and my nails are a fair bit longer…

  • OPI Double Decker Red

    So, it’s jubilee weekend. Unfortunately we aren’t doing anything special for it as there don’t appear to be any street parties where we live, which is a shame. Still, it’s  nice to have a long weekend and at least watch some of the festivities on the TV. Here’s my contribution to all things essentially English,…

  • A Letter To Asda

    Apologies for the break in normal programming but I’ve decided to use this platform to let you know about some really rather shoddy customer service I’ve experienced recently. A year or so ago we decided to stop shopping in the supermarket and turn to online shopping instead, working on the basis that time is precious…
