Max Factor Dazzling Blu...
Today, a lovely little lacquer from Max Factor - Dazzling Blue - which bares a striking resemblance to another, very famous, much loved and sometimes hard to find, lacquer. A dupe perhaps? You'll have to jump to find out.
Orly Pure Porcelain + B...
I am so not a white person when it comes to nail polish, mostly because I find it a little unforgiving, both in terms of formula and finish. Orly Pure Porcelain is a beautiful exception to that rule. Jump to see it in its glory AND to read an interview from Orly's Creative Director, who talks about why this colour was used in Dion Lee's RAFW show.

Orly Ancient Jade is from the Orly Spring 2011 Precious Collection. The colour is nothing we haven’t seen before. It’s a beautiful creme green that is just perfect for the coming warmer months in the Northern Hemisphere. And perfect for our Australian autumn coming...

Orly – Bailamos
Orly Bailamos is from the Viva Summer Collection 2010. This is a glorious sea green that, in different lights, flashes blue and green. The formula is lovely, albeit a little sheer, so it takes three coats to get to opaque (as shown here). I can’t say much more except that this is...

Welcome to the second in YGN’s Tutorial Series. Today is all about manicure cleanup. How my manicures look reasonably tidy is one of my most often asked questions, so it made perfect sense to make a video showing you how I actually do it. This method is all about practice. The...
Orly – Foil FX co...
I know this collection will be old news for my Northern Hemisphere lovelies, but it’s just been released here in Australia. So I figured I would give it another try for those Aussies considering buying it. In short, a glorious collection with one clear and utterly unique standout....
