First of all a huge apology for the lack of blog posts recently – I still haven’t got regular internet access, so bare with me please! I can’t always see blog comments so if you want to get in touch the best way is to tweet me as I can access this on my phone! I was asked a little ago by a subscriber what my top affordable nail polishes are for Spring 2011...better late than never here they are and best of all I have kept the prices all under £5...
