  • Orly Pacific Coast Highway collection

    Orly Pacific Coast Highway collection

    When I heard Orly’s new summer collection was entitled Pacific Coast Highway*, I was a mix of emotions – excited and pining to be back behind the wheel of that convertible Ford Mustang. Sigh. Orly describes the Pacific Coast Highway as ‘the ultimate top-down scenic drive along the ribbon of highway that hugs California’s breathtaking coastline’. I couldn’t have…

    Morgan Taylor: Kung Fu Panda III

    Hola! Apologies for the pause since my last post. Ramadan started last week and since I’m fasting 18.5 hours a day (along with countless others), it’s taken me the good part of the last seven days to adjust to a routine. It’s all good and I can resume some kind of normal service on Just Nice…

I was drawn to the blue cobalt colour of this (funnily enough called ‘Cobalt’) because…

  • Bourjois Magic Nail Care

    Bourjois Magic Nail Care

    Bourjois has a new gem to tempt you with and I reckon it will be flying off the shelves. Made for those of us who are terrible at neglecting our cuticles, Magic Nail Care* comes in a little mint-green coloured pot and thanks to a jojoba oil based formula, conditions your cuticles and nails whether…

  • Illamasqua: To Be Alive

    Illamasqua: To Be Alive

    Well this is exciting – a splash of bright and bold colours from Illamasqua heralding the new summer collection, To Be Alive. But you will have to wait till 1st May to have it within your clutches. Until then I am going to whip you up into a frenzy over it. One colour dominates this…
