Well here we go again! A few more HTF vintage weird and wonderful swatches direct from my helmers to you. I’m really excited about what I have to show you in the next few days, so let’s get this show on the road! 6. Naturistics Aura Pearl – I’m telling you – this photo does this gorgeous polish absolutely no justice. I have a lot of Naturistics now (matching brush handles!

Many, many years ago, about three to be exact, I realised that my love of nail polish had grown beyond a passing fancy. I have an obsession with colour. My display room is filled with all sorts of bits and pieces, mainly toys from my childhood in all shades of the rainbow.
