Remember the other day when I showed you Zoya Cynthia? Well, Jem is another one of the Zoya polishes that I could not resist from the new Smoke & Mirrors collection. The bottle reminded me strongly of a cross between OPI’s Black Tie Optional and Plum-Full Of Cheer so I didn’t really need this one,…

This is a reader request from Carmen, who was keen to get a look at Cola in a little more detail. I have given up caffeine, dear readers. It’s been about five months now since I last had a cup of “proper” coffee or any kind of caffeinated drink. It wasn’t intentional, but we just…

From the moment I clocked Zoya’s Smoke & Mirrors collection for this Autumn/Winter, I knew that there were some shades that I absolutely had to get my paws on. This is something of an irritation actually as Zoya doesn’t really have a presence in the UK. There is a British distributor but they are heinously…

It’s one of my greatest regrets (well, kind of, you know what I mean) that I’m never going to be able to have a Zoya nail varnish named after me. Did you know that once in a while, they ask for new names to consider for their collections? Well, there’s already a Helen. Bah. Someone…

Last summer I had a couple of really bad nail breaks. The kind that only really happen to me once or twice a year, and they both happened at once. Not only was it annoying, it was also extremely painful. So rather than sport uneven nails (I’ve learned my lesson there), I spent the best part of…

I know I’ve reviewed Pasha before. But fear not, we haven’t got to the stage when I am re-reviewing everything I own. In fact, far from it. Trust me, if you could see the size of my untrieds, you know we are going to be in business for quite some time. However, this polish deserves…

Well…welcome to December! And what a perfect polish to kick off the month of decadance and glitz. I always get excited about Christmas (it’s my favourite time of the year), and I have to say, I am even more excited about this Christmas as it will bring the first day I  have had off work since…
