It’s all very well having ones pinkies decorously attired with subtle shading but from time to time it seems all our nails really need is a dose of the rouge !
The fist thing you’ll notice about our by now bright red nails is that this particularly bright shade of red which goes by the name of Loolypop is that it’s not particularly subtle. The second thing we’ll say about this shade is that somehow this rather bright bottle by Essie has been on the L’Onglex testing shelf since we started the blog some three or four months back.
How we missed this colour in the past is beyond our grasp but since we think it looks rather good we can console ourselves with the idea it’s better late than never. This we like !

How to choose your team for the world cup !
Being as we at L’Onglex are quite observant when it comes to matters of sweaty men in shorts it hasn’t escaped our attentions that the World Cup is now in full swing. Naturally, we in these parts share the disappointment of Ireland not being in the tournament and like everyone else we are a bit stuck when it comes to deciding which team to adopt as our own.
Such was our predicament that we just couldn’t decide who to cheer for until some bright spark suggested putting all the shades of polish into a bag and the colour that we came out with would be the team we follow.
We can now say with some pride that our team for the world cup will be Argentina courtesy of Mint Candy Apple by Essie. Aside from the name the shade is a perfect light blue and despite my best efforts with the brush is more than a bit ‘Messi’.

Morning all !
As it’s been at least three days since we in these parts changed our nails we figure we’re long overdue a dab with the brush and would therefore like to present the above colour which comes to us courtesy of the good folks at Essie.
Yup, in our effort to try everything the latest addition to the L’Onglex swatch collection is a perfect summer shade that goes by the name of Mint Candy Apple.
Obviously we love the minty, greeny, bluey hues of this but probably just as impressive is the fact that for a light polish one coat does the trick. Into the big bag of L’Onglex colours this goes then.
