As promised I’m back with more Christmas gift ideas. These would be perfect for school friends, kriskindle or stocking fillers.   1 Salon Effects Polish Strips Love these so much! This shade is perfect for Christmas and New Years. They last ages too. I blogged about these recently with...

I got my hands on a lovely set from IsaDora the other day. It would make a great little stocking filler. It’s the Grafitti Nails Holiday Gift Pack.   The set comes with: Graffiti Nail Top – Black Tag 801 Wonder Nail Wide Brush – Gold Sparkles 652 Wonder Nail Base/Top...

I promised swatches of the glitter polishes I bought the other day. Here is number one – NYC Expert Last Nail Polish in Lights Camera Glitter 102 (9.7ml). So pretty…. Looks gorgeous in the bottle but on bare nails, it’s a little disappointing… In natural light and three...

I don’t know what is wrong with me. I can’t stop buying glittery nail polishes. This is ridiculous for a few reasons; 1. I hate the application of glitter polish 2. I loathe the removal – soaking nails in acetone for ten minutes only to be left with glitter residue, ick. 3. I never...

Whenever I have a bad day I feel the urge to buy nail polish. Don’t ask why, I don’t , I just buy. Luckily I don’t often have a bad day but when I do I head to my favourite ebay store and peruse nail polishes. Then I check swatches online and create a shortlist. I love the entire,...

I decided to give Sally Hansen Polish Strips a go this week. I opted for ‘Misbehaved’. The box comes with a cuticle stick and mini file/buffer, which is really handy.     The application itself was pretty straightforward – easier than applying ordinary polish for...

I get so excited at Christmas collection time. You know how I feel about press releases, I don’t generally like to post them – unless it’s something I think you might find of interest. But I had to post about OPI’s Christmas 2011 collection. I am so excited about these. Glitter…....

My favourite nail polish this month is without a doubt ‘Round my Finger’ by Catrice. Round My Finger is a gorgeous Magenta shade. It reminds me a little of OPI’s Pompeii Purple (See here). Actually it’s a little more purple, but similar all the same. You can’t go wrong...

I got my hands on some of Sally Hansen’s new Salon Effects Range. Rather than nail polish these are polish strips… Left to right: Girl Flower, Wild Child, Kitty Kitty, Misbehaved     Wild Child, Kitty Kitty   Girl Flower, Misbehaved What I really like about these...

I have some new favourites from Sally Hansen. These two products have made it into my manicure bag. 1. Cuticle Gel Remover I had never actually used a cuticle gel that actually did anything other than moisturise before. This smells lovely, worked fast and loosed my cuticle. It has a built-in pusher...

My name is Amy Dillon and I am a nail polish addict :) My two favourite nail polishes at the moment are both by Butter London. They’re polar opposites yet I find myself reaching for them regularly. 1. Muggins – a greyish lavender. Muggins didn’t go on as smoothly as Jaffa and...

Despite the fact that the sun was shinning this morning I was drawn to a deeper shade today (sometimes I feel like I’m going to turn pink). I chose Raisin the Bar from Sally Hansen’s collection of Salon Manicure Polishes. Granted, it’s not the type of shade I usually go for but...

Today I opted for Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure in Pink Slip (170). It’s chill-out sort of Saturday (filled with an afternoon of Come Dine With Me) so I decided a laid back polish was in order. If I head out later it will still work. I would describe it as delicate and pretty....

Sally Hansen nail polishes landed on my desk last week. I have spent the last 8 days thoroughly enjoying them :) The polishes are from Sally Hansen’s new range, Complete Salon Manicure. They are designed to be an all-in-one product combining a base, a top coat, strengthening and growth treatment...

Ebay is a great place to pick up nail polishes. I have been buying OPI and China Glaze from the US through ebay for years now, I decided to have a look at some other brands. Here is what I got… 6 Polishes from a brand named P2 (never heard of them but so far I like!) L to R: P2 Rich and reval...
