We don’t really have bumper stickers in the UK, do we? Not like the way that the US do, with slogans and little comedy routines on the back of their cars and trucks. Instead, we get those tacky...
Good morning, everyone. Is it still raining out there? Can you believe it? I was on the Tube the other day and there were some posters on the walls by the escalators basically telling us all to stop ...
Did I mention to you that I’ve given up caffeine? Well over a year ago. I definitely feel better for it, and didn’t seem to suffer any withdrawal symptoms like so many people complain of....
A little while ago I was asked if I wanted to test out a nail polish by NailGirls, a UK venture masterminded by two sisters who were tired of the chemical-ridden nail varnishes that were omnipresent ...
A quick NOTD post on Illamasqua’s Stance from their Human Fundamentalism collection that I thought I’d share with you lovely people. As you can see, this is a neon-popping fuchsia violet ...
As some of you might know, once a year, Estee Lauder release a capsule limited edition Bronze Goddess collection, always named after a desirable holiday getaway. This year, they bring us Capri, which...
My cousins from Canada flew over to London at the weekend. They tell me it’s currently 27 degrees in Toronto. *weeps* Well we have finally seen some rays in good old Blighty this week and Stila’s lat...
Not the whole collection, unfortunately, but three of the new OPI Germany polishes for you. You can read about the launch of the collection in yesterday’s post, but without further ado, here ar...
It’s that time of year again! We haven’t even had a summer yet but already the autumn/winter collections are appearing on the radar. Just when you think it’s all about neons and gol...
Exciting times! Illamasqua are releasing a small capsule collection for Summer 2012, and the good news is that it is absolutely gorgeous. Full of nudes and golds and a lovely mix between mattes and s...
Some photos from the vault here I’m afraid. I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to get around to posting this polish as it is absolutely gorgeous. This was released last autumn as pa...
Unless you’ve been stuck under a rock, you’ll know the latest must-have beauty product is one (or both) of Sleek’s new Ultra Matte palettes. There are two versions helpfully disting...
I didn’t really get on board with OPI’s Spanish themed collection (or the “Coleccion de Espana, if you will) of a couple of years ago. I have a few of them but they don’t real...
Following on from yesterday’s Rococo post, not only did we get to have a good look around at the Space NK preview and a play with some gorgeous things, we also got to meet Terry de Gunzberg, th...
Last year, Helen met the brains and beauty behind Rococo Nail Apparel, sisters Ange and Vernice Walker. A couple of weeks ago at a very special evening hosted by Space NK, we met the ladies ahead of ...
Hello everyone. It’s been a little while since I posted about a Glossybox, mainly because I’m not a subscriber, but I’m occasionally sent one to have a play with. I didn’t rec...
Well, this is an ancient photo. My nails are a fair bit shorter these days. As is this review, for I have said it a million bajillion squillion times before – these polishes are fantastic. You ...
It’s Hard To Find time! Here we have a lesser known OPI, called Dominant Jeans. For some reason I had an insane lemming for this, for the best part of a year, until it finally rocked up on some...
I haven’t heard a lot about GOSH recently. Perhaps because I have moved slightly further out of town and so I don’t spend every Saturday prowling the aisles of Superdrug like I used to &#...
A while ago now I was asked to test out some makeup from the brand Queen Cosmetics. Readers who have been with me for a long time will remember that I reviewed Queen’s moisturisers and hand creams a ...
I’m on a bit of a roll at the moment with these OPI British polishes. I don’t know why – they just seem to be at the top of all my unposted photos. Here we have Edin-Burgundy, which...
Yesterday Helen and I were taken on a personal tour of John Lewis’s multi-million pound new beauty hall at their flagship store on Oxford Street and what an experience it turned out to be. Photo: Joh...
*This is a re-posting of an old blog post from June 2009 with an updated photo. I didn’t bother updating the review as it made me giggle. I do ramble on, don’t I?* All day I have been hum...
I am having an absolutely mega love-in with coral polishes at the moment. As I write this (end of April) we are having the worst bout of rain that we have had in a long while… drought shmout...
One complaint I often hear about nail bloggers is that they show something layered but not always what it looks like on its own. There are reasons for this! The photo above reminds me of those spread...
Good morning, everyone. How are you all doing? I have a classic OPI for you today, Venus Di Violet. This was re-released as part of the Colorcopia collection of a couple of years ago, as apparently t...
Hello readers. A little bit of a treat today in the form of a new voice on Just Nice Things! My friend Rachel (we go way back to about 1993, when we were members of a local youth theatre group) offer...
Remember a little while ago when I told you about my eBay accident with the entire OPI British collection? (this must have been a good while ago, actually, maybe a year? Darned scheduled posts!) Any ...
Here’s my little nod to the spring pastel shades that are all over the interwebs at the moment. And more importantly, another chance for you to giggle at just how red my hands go when I wear th...
I realised the other day that I have been bombarding you with random photos of nail varnishes that belong to blog sales gone by, and that I hadn’t showed you anything interesting (well, that I ...
