Color Club Snow-Flakes

Here is my third polish from the Color Club Winter Affair collection – their ‘holiday’ collection of 2012. You can now buy Color Club polishes from £5 at  colorclubuk.com, their now official UK stockist! Their website sells the new Halo Hues holographics as well as the Ruby Wing colour change polishes.

I have Snow-Flakes to show you today, and as of these photos I am officially a flakie-fanatic!

Valentine’s Day Nail Art

I’m a big sucker for Valentine’s Day, I’m a big romantic and I love any reason to get back in touch with love (and I don’t think that it means I love my man any less on other days of the year either, it’s just nice to get caught up in everyone else’s love, romance and happiness when you don’t see it every day!). That’s not to say that I want to alienate anyone who doesn’t like Valentine’s Day either, and it’s cool to be single too! 🙂 Just a no-offence-meant disclaimer for you all 🙂

So here is the product of a Valentine’s brainstorm… okay I didn’t go very crazy with it but I didn’t want to spoil it, as you will probably see by following the pictures, lol!

Color Club Berry and Bright

Today I have another gorgeous polish from the Color Club Winter Affair collection – Berry and Bright. It might interest you all to know that Color Club have made it to the UK – their new official UK stockist is at colorclubuk.com, which I’m super excited about! They have just got the Halo Hues collection (holographics) in, as well as the Ruby Wing polishes (colour-changing in sunlight!), so purses be warned!

While this is a ‘holiday’ or Christmas season polish, I think it’s one of those versatile colours which can look elegant and attractive all year round.

Barry M Station Road

Here is the fourth and final textured polish in the new collection being released by Barry M, consisting of: Ridley RoadKingsland Road, Atlantic Road and Station Road, as part of the Spring 2013 release.

Station Road is probably my least favourite, although I do like it (which is saying something as I don’t much like yellow polish!) – I loved the golden yellow shimmer in the bottle but unfortunately it doesn’t really show up on the nail.

Color Club Gift of Sparkle

Hello lovelies! Sorry for the lack of posting over the last couple of days… I’ve had a horrible tonsilitis which is starting to get a little better with antibiotics but it’s had me bedbound since Tuesday! Anyway, today I have an irresistible polish from Color Club, who have a brand new official UK stockist, at colorclubuk.com. They do in fact have both the Ruby Wing polishes (change colour in the sun!) and the Halo Hues collection arriving at their site next week so keep an eye out – the Halo Hues is a collection of holos! I already have my eye on Angel Kiss.

Anyway, today I have Gift of Sparkle for you to see – this was released as part of the Winter Affair collection which was Color Club’s Holiday 2012 collection.
