My Very First…


…OPI nail polish – My Very First Knockwurst. I won’t beat around the bush, this has been my nail polish of the moment since the second I bought it. I picked this little beauty up on the way back from Barcelona in duty free as a spur of the moment ‘spend my final euros’ purchase. Within one use I went and purchased a second bottle. I was hooked and knew it wouldn’t take me long to fly through the first one.

Reaching for Red

Well it's that time of year again and it seems that no matter what the A/W trends, red is a classic ‘never fails’ go-to for most ladies in the deeper and darker seasons. One thing that never loses its style for me, is red nails. However, as a pale-skinned blonde, I really struggle to find reds that suit me (in fact I only dare do it on the nails!) and as well as that, when it comes to red I’m just plain fussy.

In the past I’ve avoided red polishes as I’ve found them far to bright and orangey when outside, almost cheap looking, even if a lovely colour in indoor light. In order to get the right colour outside, I’ve found myself reaching for deep berries and burgundies which (though I love them to bits!) lets face it – just aren’t that iconic red. But recently, I discovered the first red which I would actually describe as perfect!
