My manicure at DISCO Nails, Tokyo

I have followed the work of Nagi at DISCO nails for a few years and have always been in awe. She creates tiny works of art that are so detailed and perfect that I just stare at them in amazement.

I never ever thought I’d be lucky enough to get my nails done by her, firstly because she’s based in Japan and secondly because I assumed she’d be booked up for months in advance! At the beginning of February I achieved a dream and went to Japan for 2 weeks and while I was there I took a chance and got in touch with DISCO nails to see if they had an opening for a manicure. And lucky for me, she did – cue lots of screaming and clapping!

Let’s get right to it, here are the beautiful nails I had done:

All That Jazz All Eyes On Me

Today I have another polish from the All That Jazz ‘Spotlight Affair’ collecction. This is a beautifully plush muted fushcia that was very easy to apply. You can see my previous review of another polish from the collection HERE.

The Lacquer Lab Festive Trio Nail Polishes

At the Birchbox event I went to a few weeks ago I met a blogger called Emily and fangirled a bit when I found out that she was one of the creators of The Lacquer Lab. I am always on the look out for independent, UK based nail polish brands and this one had been on my radar for a while. I was lucky enough to be sent their new limited edition festive trio to review and I will apologise now for the photo heavy post: these polishes deserve a lot of pictures!

Introducing: The Lacquer Lab Festive Trio nail polishes

So here is the trio, L-R: Fred & Ginger, I Want A Pony, and Snow Globe. Don’t you just feel Christmassy looking at them?

The Big Nail Varnish Destash

I thought it was about time for me to go through my nail varnish collection and try to whittle it down. I have so many polishes that I never use (or have never used!) because they just get lost in the pile. So I’m sorting through them, picking out my favourites, throwing some away and putting some up for sale. It is going to be traumatic so I would appreciate your support at this difficult time.

On a more positive note, I rediscovered some forgotten favourites –  hooray!
