China Glaze Update Day 5
Argh noooo it’s starting to chip! Sad times. I have to reiterate that this was just one layer (medium on the thumb and light on the finger) but there’s a huge chip on my thumb and the big strands of glitter on my finger have come off. So there you have it. 5 days before…

So I’ve been photographing my China Glaze nails to find out how long the polish lasts. Here is day 4: As you can see it’s almost identical to yesterday. Since taking yesterday’s picture I had to fight my double buggy to get it on the roof of my car as the boot (trunk) was full…

I am SO tired of my nail varnish cracking from perfectly normal day-to-day activities like taking my baby and toddler to soft play, landscaping my garden, or wrestling our double buggy into the back of our VW Golf.

When there are no testers in some countries still because of…

Misadventure: No such thing as a free pedicure
When I was nineteen, I saw an advert in the back of a TV guide. Choose 10 books for £10 and get a free luggage set! Wow. I thought this sounded like the deal of the century! I loved books and luggage. I filled out the application form, picked my books and wrote a cheque…
