More about me and my blog......

I live in a quiet rural corner of the UK and I love running up hills (our little muddy *mountains* are referred to locally as 'fells'), swimming in (and sometimes across) lakes and painting my nails!

I decided to start a blog to keep a record of some of my manicures. It's not intended to be a colour catalogue of the latest polish releases (there are plenty excellent bloggers already doing that and there's not a great deal I could add), but a record of what I've used and how it looks, possibly with a note of where I was or what I was doing when I wore it, or why I chose that colour. I'm especially interested in colour combinations, layering textures and patterns, so I try to focus on these things in my photographs ~ using different angles than the typical square-on four nail swatches. If you're wondering, when my nails are long, they are real!

For my own purposes, I hope to be able to look back on my posts in the future and select a polish that reminds me of a special place, day or run. Of course it would be great to think that I'm not just writing and photographing into a void and that others are reading and enjoying my efforts :)

My blog is an expression of my personal, unbiased opinions. All the polishes and any other products I mention were either purchased by me, or received in a swap or as a gift, unless expressly stated otherwise. If I've been sent a sample polish to review this fact is made clear at the end of my post.

Thank you for looking at my little blog!
