  • Leighton Denny: International Collection

    A couple of weeks ago, I popped into see the new spring/summer collection from Leighton Denny.  The new polishes usher in the season with vibrant, carnival shades flattering for all skin tones. There is also a nude shade for those a little shy. Housed in the slick Leighton Denny square bottles with the nail expert’s name…

  • Illamasqua: Glamore nails

    Last week the latest collection from Illamasqua rolled into town. Glamore is a fusion of colour, shimmer and texture. It’s also a collection that is accessible and likeable for all – there is nothing even a wallflower would be afraid of. Three lipsticks and three nail colours complete the capsule collection. Today I am sharing…

  • Nails Inc Gel Effect: new for spring/summer 2014

    Happy new year, folks! Hope you had a lovely break over the festive period and are full of the joys of spring. Speaking of spring, here is a peek at a couple of new shades from Nails Inc’s Gel Effect range to get you in the mood because the fact is, the next two months…

  • Essie Set in Stones

    Leanne of Do Not Refreeze is all over glitter polishes like a tramp on chips. I, on the other hand, don’t indulge in them much because they are horrendous to take off (I don’t have the patience to cocoon my nails in cotton pads and seal with tin foil). However, Essie has lured me back…

  • Urban Decay’s Zodiac

    Naked 3 is almost here (and if you’ve ordered online from House of Fraser, then you may well have the palette already). Well Urban Decay also has two new nail polishes to coincide with the arrival of Naked 3: the dark aubergine Blackheart and the shimmery sea-green beauty with speckles of gold and silver that is…

  • A-England Avalon & Saint George

    Last year Helen showcased her collection of A-England polishes. If you need reminding, look here. I took one look and keeled over in excitement. How gorgeous are these polishes? I had to get my hands on a couple, so er, I did. These kind of polishes are meant to be worn in the sunshine. Here’s…

  • Clinique Strappy Sandals

    You may have picked up on the beauty grape vine about Clinique’s latest range of nail polishes. Safe to use for those with sensitive skins and allergy tested, the formula created helps reduce the chances that eyes will burn, itch or water with contact. Fancy! While I’m very fortunate to not encounter difficulties with beauty…

  • Boutique by Sainsbury’s

    This September will see the arrival of supermarket Sainsbury’s make-up range, the chic-titled Boutique. The last of the food chain giants to bring out their own cosmetics collection, like its rivals Sainbury’s is set to compete on price and quality, and having previewed the products they are going to be launching in a couple of…

  • Bourjois Nail Art Dotting Tool

    There aren’t many beauty products which are genuinely worth getting excited about but this nifty nail art dotting tool from Bourjois is the flavour of the month (for me). I’m last to the party of nail art designs so to get my hands on a tool that simplifies the skill is a pretty big deal. Bourjois…
