Writing a nail blog from New Zealand. My philosophy is that just because we live at the bottom of the world, we shouldn't have to pay two or three times as much as the US and UK for amazing nails, and therefore use a variety of budget brands and parallel imports to create looks that are 'just as good'.

Doesn't mean I would say no to a little Essie, OPI, China Glaze or Zoya though ;-)
