Tweet I recently reported on my experience with Marianne Newman Nails, all the info here. Basically, its a new 3 min manicure. The idea is you can use a clicky pen to apply the colour and seal it in – it dries super quickly. Well – after trying it out more, I am really disappointed with it. The kit of 3 polishes and 2 top coats was £38 – I think that’s pretty expensive. They are paint like and dry {Read More}

Tweet One of the reasons why I’m not a huge nail polish user is because I need the polish to look perfect on and I don’t normally have the patience to sit around and wait for it to dry. In other words, I always end up smudging my polish. Lo and behold – I hear about Mariane Newman Nails, a new innovation in polish. This polish is supposed to set in around 30 seconds, then you add a top coat {Read More}

Tweet After have a crappy manicure on my birthday (lumpy, uneven, smudgy) I began investigating the net for something that really does dry quicky and is easy to apply. Although I have a decent nail collection, I am completely impatient, yet a perfectionist, so it’s not often I have nails I think are good enough to keep on.

Tweet I know, I know, ASOS are on my hate list, but compared to some of the deadbeats I’ve bought from lately, they are a boon. What I’ve noticed from surfing their site lately is that the prices are very erratic.  One day I added a headband into my cart and it was £8.  The next day I looked for it again, it was £6? Go figure.  Yes, it’s only £2 but I would be annoyed if I had bought {Read More}

Tweet …too busy….can’t breathe…. Nevertheless, I was excited to find a little range called Miss Nail Bar. It is a range of nail care products, made by Nails INC which is the grown up, pricy brand. In Superdrug I found a cuticle nail pen for £1.99, top and base coats were £1.49. There were loads of cool useful little products for a bargain price, it still had the cool packaging that is very similar to Nails Inc. I presume this {Read More}
