  • L’Oréal’s Miss Denim: Bermuda Rose

    Just thought I’d share how Bermuda Rose from L’Oréal’s new Miss Denim collection looks. It’s a gorgeous neon pink. I’m loving this texture finish! I hope there are more colours in the pipeline. Don’t forget, they hit the shops next month, priced at just £4.99. *PR sample

  • L’Oréal: Miss Denim nail collection

    Next month sees the arrival of L’Oréal’s first textured nail collection, Miss Denim. There are four summery shades which dry to a denim textured matte finish. This is Indigo Classique and I love it! Extremely easy to apply with a decent brush and quick to set, you don’t need a top coat to seal this…

  • Avon Gel Finish Nailwear

    Avon has a fresh new range of polishes out next month that give a gel finish. They boast base coat, top coat and colour in one. Noticeably different to Bourjois and Nails Inc’s gel-like formulas, the emphasis is more on the appearance of looking like gel without the professional salon price tag and without the…

  • 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…
