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…

Alessandro nail polish in Pearly Violet
I’m new to Alessandro nail polishes. It’s a German brand that I laid eyes on for the first time last week at the launch of Lac Sensation, their 99 shades of UV nail polish manicure. I was given this Cadbury’s chocolate purple number to try and I kept it on my nails for 5 days before…

From the forthcoming autumn collection, this teal green number leapt out at me so to tease and torture you, here’s a quick mani of Teal Unreal: Thoughts? Pretty enough for the summer, isn’t it? I…

Maybelline New York Nail Art Masterclass

Now if I can achieve a manicure without painting my knuckles, that’s a big accomplishment for me so to take things to the next level with nail art was pushing the boat out, particularly when Leanne of Do Not Refreeze put me…

GOSH special edition polishes
I know spring officially began on 20th March but it’s only in the last week or so we are finally seeing signs of the season bursting through. I’ve also taken the roof down of the car approximately 10 times and this means a lot to me! There is no doubt that the appearance of the…

Raindrops keep falling on my head…
That’s how the song goes…here’s hoping I haven’t jinxed things with any imminent showers. Any way! Today I want to share two nail polishes from Illamasqua. First up is Raindrops, a sheer light grey polish with a jelly finish. It dries to a beautiful smooth finish and has fine white irridiscent specks. There is also a…

17 Holo nail polish in silver
Are holographic polishes yesterday’s news? I hope not. You see, Boots’ 17 has one to contend with the others and unlike Make-Up Store (and possibly GOSH to a certain extent), this doesn’t need a special base coat for the holographic finishing to show up in all its glory. Granted the comparison is not identical, but…
