Nails of the Day – Nubar Risque Reds and Fortress Collections

Beauty Shed very kindly sent me samples of their new collections recently, so I drafted in a volunteer so I could swatch two colours for you this week!  First up, from the Risque Reds Collection, Torrid Red: Lovely red jelly with a glorious gold shimmer shot through,  it’s a little darker than it appears in these pics, and is all the nicer for it.

Nail of the Day – Nubar Oh Baby Pink

In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve already said that spring, to me, is all about the brights, right? That I’m not about the pastels?  Okay … in brief, I love this polish … but… This is Oh Baby Pink and it’s from the Nubar Hypnotic Valentine’s collection (which is available from the lovely, lovely people at Beauty Shed) it’s a pastel pink creme, that […]

Nail of the Day – Rococo Vayder

If you follow me on Twitter at all, then you might already know I’ve fallen for Rococo polishes in a big way.  Yes, they’re expensive, but all the ones I’ve tried are so pretty, and the wear on them is simply fantastic, usually at least five days without any signs of tip wear or chipping.  Here’s my latest purchase: It’s called Vayder and it’s an […]

Nail of the Day – Rococo Utility

Saw this in SpaceNK yesterday, and kind of fell in love with it!  Grey isn’t a colour that normally appeals, but this is a great shade with hints of blue and lilac, not to mention some really lovely packaging. I tried this on one thumb and NARS Rouge Andalou on the other, but this was the one I couldn’t take my eyes off for the […]
