Test

There are so many nice colours available on the High Street at the moment that I couldn't resist, when the lovely PR ladies over at  Binky London  reached out to me last week and asked me if I fancy to check out their new AW 14/15 collection. |So Here's What I Thought...| Having used and reviewed Binky’s sparkly Gold Rush* in three top colours for summer  post, and being very pleased with it, I had high expectations on this one. Luckily, I wasn't disappointed. I was very delighted when I received a bottle of Mocha Gel* from the brands' new collection which is officially out tomorrow. The collection features dark colours and I particularly like the cobalt blue and the Mocha one, which I’m going to tell you all about. The colour in the bottle looks different to when you actually apply it to your nails. It looks very nice on the nails and I would describe the tone as a milk chocolate one. The polish has a creamy texture. It is easy to apply and the brush runs smoothly over...

I had a £10 voucher from House of Fraser and wanted to spend it on nail varnish. I'm a fan of nails Inc and when I saw this blue Belgrave Place colour reduced from £15 to £9, my decision was made very quickly. It arrived last week and I applied it for the first time on Wednesday whilst watching Bake Off. I've been looking for a blue nail polish for a while now and wanted to make this one my favourite pick for autumn. The blue is a lovely navy shade which, when sunlight hits it, shows a purply tone as well. Like all nails inc polishes, it was easy to apply. The texture is great and allows an evenly application. One to two coats are enough to cover your nails and the polish has a lovely glossy shine. So, why am I still disappointed by this polish? Well, it took bl**dy ages to dry. Between applying each coat, I left at least 30 minutes. When I finally applied my top coat, Bake Off was long finished and I was tortured with ExtraSlice. Anyway, I got super excited abo...

I'm not so much of a beauty person, but I have a very weak spot when it comes to nail polishes. And I mean a very, very weak spot. It all started with a Nails Inc freebie back in November 2011 and since then my stock developed into a hoard. Summer is my favourite time of the year and I'd like to show you my favourite picks for the season. What else goes better with your swim or festival wear than a gorgeous paint on your nails? |Prepare Your Nails| 1. For healthy looking nails, clip them first, then smooth with a special six way nail file and bring them into shape. I'm using a pair of clippers from Clyppi and a Boots nail file. 2. Apply a base coat. I'm using Boots nail hardener solution (£4.20). It is a clear polish, dries within seconds and applies a nice glossy finish to your nails. 3. Choose your colour and depending on how well it covers apply one to two coats. 4. Let the polish dry and finish with a clear top coat. Remove surplus paint on nail edges with a cotton ...
