I’m very specific about the kinds of nail polish I wear. I don’t do glitter unless it’s pure glitter, like a disco ball, the kind of polish that requires corrosive chemicals and a pickaxe to remove. I’m not overly fond of polishes with sheen and I’m about 40 years away from appreciating a nice frosted polish in shades of apricot and peach.
I like pure, no bullshit dark or bright red or pink. I’m also fond of very dark purples, browns and burgundys. Occasionally I’ll rock a blue or green but only if I’ve seen someone cool doing it recently.
This is precisely why I love a polish collection that caters to all tastes, because I know that not everyone likes goth/stripper nails like I do. If you follow me on Instagram (I’m Smaggle FYI) or like me on Facebook you have probably been noticing a few images popping up of me wearing Darling nail polish. Darling is a brand new online store that houses a colorful little army of nail polish bottles in whimsical shades like Dollface, Trophy Wife and Love Shack. The founder of the company, Heather, is a friend and colleague and she sent me a stupid amount of Darling polish to play with last week and I have to say I’m hooked. My Bellini home manicure lasted for 6 days and I even did the washing up. Score.
And guess what? The lovely team at Darling are offering three lucky readers the chance to win a Double Darling Prize of 2 Darling polishes. Bonza!

I would definitely enter because I’m a nail polish fiend, but I got rid of my facebook account a while back. : /
Growing up, I wore nothing but black nail polish, back when it only came from the cheap $2.00 brands around certain times of year – that, or black texta! – Now I have an almost abnoxious sized collection of polishes and with the exception of ballerina colours like pastel pink, my taste is pretty much all over the place.
Right this minute, I’m wearing WetnWild’s Inkwell with Sephora by OPI’s Be-Claus I Said So layered over the top.If you’re on the look out for more disco ball, unicorn vomit polish looks, might I suggest China Glaze’s Atlantis layered over any cream white polish. Bonkers!

Has to be Dollface, I am a sucker for a neutral nail polish – it makes me feel posh.

Gorgeous collection, what a lovely discovery! 🙂

The polish is actually amazing. Lasts ages.

It would have to be ‘Wednesday’ for me. There’s nothing like having happy painted toes and hands to give you a mid week boost. I’d also wear this while holding my toddlers hand as we walk into the day care centre – Wednesday is her day of independence and I’m sure she would love to wear the polish as well!
Thank you for a great competition and a lovely opportunity x-
Oh bless, that’s gorgeous.

Ok, so I already like Smags on facebook. WINNING.
I went to the Darling site … ve-ry niiiice. But I couldn’t find black … that’s all I ever get. I stand there at the nail salon, deliberating every single time for five minutes over the colours, then choose black.
I choose the Darling Wedding Crasher instead. So I can paint that red on, run into the nearest wedding ceremony, and shout “DON’T DO IT.”
Heh.

Lobster Shack to grace my nails
A colour like that simply never fails!
It’s lovely, glossy, and brightly hued,
And will be admiringly viewed!
Whilst holding the hands of Johnny Depp
I’d show off my nails with a spring in my step!! -
I love Regalia shade
I’ll look like the big time I’ve made made
I’ll find me a man,
Hold onto his hand
And around like royalty we’ll parade!
