Orange.


When it comes to nail polishes I tend to favour deep browns, red or blacks or bright orange reds or true reds. Whatever these colours do to my senses is just too much for me to resisted adding another to my collection! This being said my reds collection is at 9 currently. For these colours all having pretty much the exact same qualities, 9 is a little excessive....



At the moment the Maybelline Colour Show off in Orange Attack & Rimmel Orange your life are my favourite. Orange Attack is a true red orange and Orange your life is a true bright orange both look equally good with a tan while adding a nice pop of colour to a simple outfit.

Berry Nice.

Dark nails are a massive love of mine along with beautiful orange reds & a few pastels thrown in for good measure. Reserving dark colours for the colder months of Autumn & winter is not something I do, dark & gothic can work all year round don't ya know!






Following a long standing love affair with orange reds & pastels, Monday night save me apply this beautiful purple, brown deep shade from Estee Lauder. Black Berry was a birthday gift from my lovely mum & dad, clearly they know me well as this is a staple nail colour now. Teamed with beautiful tanned limbs & a nice summery outfit, this little beauty is a total dream nail polish. They are a little more expensive, as expected from a high end make up brand but totally worth the money.

Pastel Nails.



Rimmel I love lasting finish - Marshmallow Heaven

Following a brief spell of declaring my undying love of dark nails then red-orange tones on my talons I have finally swung back to a good ol' pastel shade. Marshmallow Heaven is a beautiful half lilac, half purple shade. Teamed with white outfits, tanned skin & simple make up this shade is a perfect addition to a nail polish collection.

Nail Polish.



Nail polish is a big love of mine. I love looking down to my fingers and seeing a pretty colour shining back at me from my nails. When it comes to nail polish I go from one extreme to another ... one week it will be a love deep oxblood the next a mint green then a bright red followed by the blackest of blacks. What can I say, I love them all!

Bourjous Noir de Chine 
This is a true black. No sparkle just glossy black talons. There is something so chic about a dark nail that I can't quite put my finger on - pardon the pun. Any dark nail really. I only bought Bourjouis as it was in an offer if it hadn't been any brand with a black nail polish would have done nicely.

Rimmel Pink Libertine
This pretty pastel pink was a present from my mum at Easter Time. It isn't something I would normally gravitate towards in the shop but obviously my mum knows me well as I love this colour. It is a beautiful pink that looks gorgeous on the nails.

MUA Pistachio Ice Cream
I'm not sure what I expected for £1 but this little polish is slightly lacking. The colour is a beautiful mint green but it is really runny & sheer. I really only featured it for the colour. Save your pound and spend it else where! 


Miss Sporty Cobalt Blue
I'm not 100% sure on the name of this one  as the label is majorly worn but the colour is a right electric blue - you would known it if you saw it. A cheap favourite that has a great colour pay off. Definitely one for a bright eye catching nail. I've had compliments from boys on this one. One claiming to want to use it as his hair dye colour sample...
