A bit of a confession for you today. I quite like the pound shop. Perhaps not on a Saturday morning when you’re being pushed out of the way by people determined to bag themselves 6,284,607 ciga...
Today we have a guest post courtesy of the lovely Lorna who kindly agreed to blind-test a mystery skincare product – the identity of which will be officially revealed on 1st March 2012. Design...
Primers. Some reckon it’s not necessary, I am with the crowd that abides by it. Prepping your skin with a primer makes a huge difference – your make-up looks better, lasts longer –...
*sigh* It’s been a over month since I returned from my holiday in Miami. Jet lag lasted about a week, work has been non-stop and my body started to wind me up by making me feel poorly. Still,...
Really I should have put all of this collection together in one post. I also don’t feel like it is really finished, seeing as I haven’t applied, worn, and photographed them for you –...
I’m very late with this. In fact, I thought at some point that the festive collections for 2012 would be out before I found the time to get blogging again. As you probably can tell, up until th...
Recently I was asked if I wanted to try out a couple of nail varnishes from cult brand Spa Ritual. I’d heard of the brand before as I think they are big in America and I’ve certainly seen...
Last week I removed myself from a self-imposed hibernation and attended the launch of Estee Lauder’s much anticipated Invisible Fluid MakeUp. Heralded as a skin-matching fluid, which is water a...
Strictly speaking, this should be called “My A-England Haul” as I actually bought all of these at the same time last week, starting my A-England collection. A-England is the brainchild o...
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I wanted to share with you some things that I am really loving at the moment. I’ve never done a monthly favourites type post but there are so many things I...
One of the reasons that I haven’t been blogging a lot lately is because I had a bad nail break on each hand, and I really couldn’t be bothered to cover them up with fakes just so that I c...
Where have I been? Sometimes I get straight on to a band wagon with a new brand, and other times it takes me considerably longer. I’d always pretty much ignored Deborah Lippmann polishes. They ...
Do you know, I took photos of this polish about two years ago and was totally ashamed and gutted by the way they turned out so never posted them. At the time, I was using a different camera, a purple...
This is one of the first polishes I ever reviewed on here. It went into the “trieds” box and hadn’t really seen the light of day for a number of years. It’s a shame when that ...
This was one of the first ever polishes I reviewed on Just Nice Things. Weirdly, I can just about remember the order as well – or thereabouts. I know it was this, Suzi Says Da, At Your Quebec ...
Can you believe that this nail varnish was originally released in December 2009? I honestly don’t know where the time goes. You can read my original review of Particuliere here, but WordPress s...
Good morning, everyone. Any news or gossip? Today I have a rather confusing polish for you. Orly Bon Bon. I’d seen this on a few blogs and really rather liked the shade, and on various websites...
It’s safe to say the madness surrounding Urban Decay’s Naked2 palette has calmed down since it came out a few months ago. I’ve held back on doing a post on Naked2 because there was...
Did I hear a rumour that Dynasty is coming back? (Or am I thinking of Dallas?) I wonder if it’ll ever happen. I don’t ever really remember the show being on in our house as I was growing...
A little known fact about me is that I studied History of Art for two years (and thoroughly enjoyed it). It didn’t really serve any more purpose than being a bit handy in a pub quiz, or if ther...
As the temperatures drop, it means paying extra attention to areas in need of therapy. One of them are your hands and I don’t know about you, but mine feel particularly dry during the cold mon...
Today I have a polish from early 2010. Knotty was released back in the Spring as part of China Glaze’s Anchors Away collection. There were only thee or four polishes that really called to me f...
A while ago, online retailer ASOS released a range of nail varnishes named (rather sycophantically) after their favourite British ladies of the moment. This gave me a bit of a dilemma as the only one...
(EDIT: I cannot believe my nails were ever this long. What was I thinking?!) Ever look back on a photo with fonder memories than you were accidentally experiencing at the time? Like that snap of you ...
What do we think of this one? It’s green. It’s very green in fact. But it’s a fabulous green, if you’re into this kind of thing. Not only is it a really gorgeous shade of emer...
Ooh look at my nails. Doesn’t it look like they have been painted by a small, visually impaired child? (EDIT – and aren’t they long and horrid? You can tell I’m using up all o...
This was one of the first polishes I ever reviewed, back on the 9th April 2009! So, nearly three years on, I wanted to revisit this, as I only had really crappy photos of it (ie it was originally rev...
OK, first things first. I do not understand the name of this nail varnish. I can only presume it is some kind of play on words from a popular (?) phrase that I have never heard of! Any ideas, readers...
Running a blog can be a pesky thing. Aside from keeping on top of posts, swatches, taking decent photographs and all the rest of it, there’s the admin side of things to think about as well. She...
Last night I was prowling eBay in my usual style, seeking hard to find or discontinued OPI polishes. I came across one called Taupeless Showgirls (got to love that name) but when I Google-imaged it, ...
