Today I’m wearing Estée Lauder nail polish in Oyster Cult, thought I would share :) When I ordered Oyster Cult I thought it would be a grey rather than a silver. Serves me right for ordering from a swatch chart. And here are some swatches to show you how it looks on my nails… The...

I have been using Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation for a month now, exclusively – which is odd for me. I recorded a video review for those of you who are in the Market for a “drugstore” foundation. I hope you enjoy!

I have been meaning to review Estée Lauder Pure Color Nail Polish in Mega Fuchsia for a few weeks now. The shade always draws my attention when I’m deciding on what colour to choose from my collection. And a swatch… Let me start by saying that I love the packaging. The cube shape...

For my nails today I chose a rather vampy shade by Rimmel called ‘Desire’. I fancied something a little more sultry today rather than the usual taupey shades I have been chasing lately. And some swatches… (taken in natural light) As I have mentioned previously, I’m...

I have completely fallen for Rimmel Portobello Pink (230). It’s their 60 Seconds formulation, which I love. Here are some swatches.   What I think: Easy to apply I’m a fan of Rimmel polishes creamy consistency. The coverage is excellent. The thick brush makes the application...

OPI collections always evoke a bit of a dual response in me. On one hand, I can feel my blood pressure spike when there is talk of new shades (sad, but true) and on the other hand I dread it – the ‘need’ to add them to my collection. I can practically hear my bank balance screaming. I...

I have been blessed with strong, fast growing nails.The one thing I hate about my hands in my cuticles. I find myself staring at them on occasion, wondering why they need to be in such a state ten days after a manicure. I hate cuticles.They can make nice nails look scruffy – mine are a holy...

I’m on a bit of a nail care kick at the moment so I have been picking up products left right and centre, the latest of which are thanks to Rimmel. I’m a huge fan of the 60 second nail polishes so I am keen to try these. Stronger, Pro Super Wear and Nail Rescue Nail Rescue – This...

My favourite nail polish at the moment is Rimmel. It’s called Fast & Fuchsia. I would describe the shade as a vibrant magenta. I took a few swatch images in both natural and artificial lighting.   natural light   It’s creamy, easy to apply and dries fast....

I’m really not feeling the 70′s inspired pointy nails trends. I recently saw a photo of both Rihanna and Lady Gaga sporting the witch nail look. I’m just scared.   *Image from www.popsugar.co.uk/ For me, sharply pointed nails conjure up images of the witch in Hansel and...

Katy Perry has produced  nail polish range with OPI. There are four colours in the collection which are said to reflect her love of street style. OPI Teenage Dream   OPI The One that Got Away   OPI Last Friday night OPI Not Like the Movies Each colour can...

I have had Eyeko Lilac Polish in my collection for a year now and I still love it as much as I did the day I first laid eyes on it. I am now on my fourth bottle. I should really move on but I just can’t let go! Here’s a few swatches if you haven’t seen it yet…     What...

It may still be freezing out but the sun has been shining. On cold days I love a bit of colour injection. Today I opted for a bright coral. Eyeko Coral Polish is creamy and easy to apply. It may be a bit extreme for some and I really have to be in top form to pull it off. It will look beautiful...

I had a request from a reader for swatches of Eyeko’s Vintage Polish. It’s one of my favourites! It’s such a perfect shade for Spring. I must pick up another bottle. What do you think of green polish?
