Man Glaze Nail Polish
I was just reading the “Top 10 of 2011″ over at Olivia’s most excellent The Unknown Beauty Blog where she was extolling the virtues of Man Glaze Nail Polish. A coffee’s worth of further googling has got me very interested … Continue reading
Christmas Nail Polish
No surprises for guessing what ended up on my fingernails this Christmas. That’s right! My favourite combination: Zoya Isla and China Glaze Ruby Pumps. Here is Zoya Isla on it’s own. Pretty! …and here it is with China Glaze Ruby … Continue reading
Zoya Yasmeen
Another over-performer from the Zoya stable is Yasmeen. I’ve tried my fair share of metallic purple nailpolishes, but this one is a stand out to me because of the magenta shimmer it achieves under artifical lighting or outdoors. In dim … Continue reading
China Glaze For Audrey
I think the reason that many people purchase this polish is because it is the same colour as iconic Tiffany’s jewellery boxes – ‘Tiffany blue’. In reality, Tiffany’s blue is copyrighted, and this is as close as the good people … Continue reading
Rimmel 60 Seconds 430 Coralicious
I haven’t experimented much with coral polishes, but this one is great (although probably better for summer than the autumn we currently have in Australia). I was not a fan of the old Rimmel nail polish formulation. It was streaky … Continue reading
Could this be the Perfect Nail Combination? China Glaze ‘Ruby Pumps’ and Zoya ‘Isla’
Okay, so I may be getting a little excited about this newly-found nail combination, but this is seriously pretty. I recently made a large-ish purchase from cleopatrastyle-usa on Ebay which included China Glaze ‘Ruby Pumps’ and Zoya ‘Isla’. On its … Continue reading
Zoya Reece
Yet another offering in the Zoya line-up is ‘Reece’, part of the Reverie Collection of 2010. It is a rosey-pink colour which reflects green – very unusual and very beautiful. I’m not much of a pink-nailpolish wearer myself, but I … Continue reading
Online Shops I Recommend
I’ve just listed the online shops I recommend in the right-hand bar of this blog. The list features a mixture of discounted mainstream sites (high- and low-end), sites that carry niche brands, organic and/or vegan sites, and sites that ship … Continue reading

Zoya Nailpolish – Penny
Wow, why isn’t everyone using Zoya nailpolish? Why isn’t it available in Australia? I applied this polish in the usual fashion, and quickly discovered that this is one of the fabled one-coat-polishes. That’s right, the picture above is after just … Continue reading
Sephora by OPI – Metro Chic
So today’s polish is the much-talked-about Sephora by OPI Metro Chic. It is as good as everyone says. It’s a great grey-lilac polish for work, but it doesn’t look too flat or dull. It’s edgy whilst being conservative. I wear … Continue reading
OPI – Eiffel for this Colour
OPI’s ‘Eiffel for this Colour’ is gorgeous. A dark plum-berry-black which has subtle shimmer in sunlight and beautiful depth when you’re inside. Definitely a two-coater, and a new favourite for me. Available from sendthetrend for USD $5.95 plus $3.50 shipping … Continue reading
Mod About You by OPI: Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…
Let’s cut straight to the chase: I think this would make a much better colour on the toes than the fingernails. The colour in the bottle is a gorgeous pink with a subtle lilac undertone, and I’m a big fan … Continue reading
