    Models Own Colour Chrome

    Spring is in the shops and if Models Own’ newest collection Colour Chrome* is anything to go by, it’s bang on trend to fit with the colour wash of pastels and brights that await us. (Please can someone press the fast-forward button on February?) There are 10 molten metal nail polishes housed in shiny metallic…

  • Christmas at Superdrug

    Christmas at Superdrug

    We are in the last month of 2014 so it is acceptable to make a start on the dreaded task of Christmas shopping but I think it’s easier than ever because there is such a vast selection to choose from. Gone are the days when a department store wheeled out the generic, dull looking gift sets.…

  • Orly Darkest Shadow

    Oh my, oh my, oh my, Orly! How have you created this beauty? No picture can possibly do this shade justice or indeed capture its true identity. Darkest Shadow* is from Orly’s Smoky collection. There are six shades in total, with bold saturated colours inspired by the shades of the smokiest eyes coupled with dusty…

  • Zoya AW14: India

    Autumn is definitely my season. It welcomes the excuse to wear ruby, mauve and khaki green, coordinating beautifully with the ever-changing colours of fallen leaves. I will defy trends, however and wear dark shades on my nails all year round. They suit me better. And this bejewelled beauty from Zoya’s Entice & Ignite AW14 range is…

Easy application with a high gloss finish, Bourjois’s reputation for producing gorgeous, high quality shades at affordable…

  • New Nail Colours from Topshop

    When it comes to fashion, I don’t have a healthy relationship with Topshop. Most of it falls into hipster territory, which terrifies me and truth be told, a lot of it is ridiculously overpriced. Occasionally there will be a piece I will purchase but generally, I don’t get Topshop fashion. Their make-up range, on the…

  • Essence Roller Coaster

    There’s a new budget beauty brand that’s landed on our shores  and it’s made quite a splash. Hailing from Germany, Essence is a dream come true for the beauty junkie with a kaleidoscope of products at very affordable prices. Opinion is strong from what I’ve picked up on and that is Essence does not compromise…

  • Cheeky Chat Me Up Nail Paint

    Cowshed definitely has the best names in its beauty range. Cheeky is the little sister and this season she brings a set of fresh, vibrant colours for your fingers and toes. I was sent three playful shades to try which are right up my street: Flirt-ini, Flamin-go and Lemon Tart. Flirt-ini is the most neon…

  • Maybelline Superstay 7 Days Gel Nail Color

    This season brights and pastels go up against each other in a nail-off hosted by Maybelline. Megawatt sees the arrival of three bright shades and Forever Strong features two soft pastels. Depending on which side you’re on, there’s something for the summer for everyone. I’ve got two to share with you – the Megawatt Pink Volt and…
