Rococo Modern Metallica
Above is a sneak preview of the new Modern Metallica collection from Rococo Nail Apparel. Inspired by the Rococo period there are five molten metal shades and I was fortunate to see them last night at a special Space NK event, where I had a manicure done from the range. I’m wearing the golden Alcazar,…

Fantasy Fire & Eiffel For This Color
The life of a beauty blogger means buying things and getting round to trying them months later so when Max Factor’s Fantasy Fire caused much excitement earlier this year, of course I got sucked in. I haven’t dabbled in layering much (and Fantasy Fire is precisely a layering polish) but this little gem is one…

Ciaté Jelly Bean
Hello, everyone. I figured I should do more nail posts but do think it’s not the same without Helen. I hope she returns soon! In the mean time, this is Jelly Bean by Ciaté, which I’m in love with. It’s a glorious fuschia pink glossy polish with lovely blue shimmery undertones. I’ve worn it twice…

The U.S nail shop
Six months ago I spoilt you with showing off all the nail polishes I grabbed from my Miami trip. (Jeez, has it really been that long? Tell me where 2012 is racing to, please!) Here’s are a few swatches on some gems I swooped down onto like an over-excited magpie. All photos were taken with…

OPI Beige-Jing
A few weeks ago, my company moved offices. Not far, just across the business park, but as moves go, apparently it was quite a stressful one. We are now sat in our shiny new offices, with a whole host of meeting rooms that have been named after Olympic cities. So now, I get a message…
