Indie Lacquer

Hi! Today I am going to be showing you a beautiful, subtle polish by Emily de Molly. I bought this back in June of last year, and wore it during the time where I didn’t get a chance to even photograph polish, let alone share it on my blog, so here it is in its full glory. I remember this polish being the one I was least excited about when I purchased the ones I did, and I think it was somewhat of a last-minute impulse purchase, but it turned out to be one of my very favourites.

Pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is a beautiful mineral that I used to collect when I was young, as it’s all over the place! I remember one beach on Seil Island in Scotland being particularly abundant with it in its natural state… it’s a beautiful mineral that is a pale brassy gold and metallic in appearance. It used to be sold a lot in museums and by mineral collectors.

Hey chickas! I have a thermal polish to show you… I’ve been putting off this post for a while – you will probably notice that my nails are still quite long in these pics, that’s because they are from at least 2 weeks ago! The reason I’ve been putting it off is because I took about a gazillion photos to try and capture the thermal shift. I also realised halfway through these gazillion pictures, that as I was heating and cooling my nails in water and drying them off, the towel I was using to dry them was shedding black fluff all over my fingers. So it’s been a bit of a mammoth task sorting through the pics! However, I’ve got there in the end!

Thermals are so much fun to wear but I have a really hard time capturing them on camera due to my funky body temperatures. A lot of the time, my nails had bright blue at the very tips where they were cold, white in the middle of my free edge where that was warm, and blue over the rest of my nail where my body temperature was low… and no about of heating or cooling would change that, so I had to be quick to capture!!

Hey everyone, how are you all today? I was looking back over my old blogposts the other day, and I realised I never put anything much of my life in these any more. Is that something that you liked or something you don’t miss? In case you’re interested, I’m still looking for a job to no avail… I’m trying hard not to let it get me down but every few days it does get on top of me! I’m really glad to have my blog to create some consistency in my life… at the moment it’s mostly job-hunting and keeping the flat tidy, it’s very boring! Anyway, hope you’re well. I’m going down memory lane tonight and listening to The Eagles – Hotel California 🙂

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well :).

Today I have a nice palate cleanser polish, that happens to also be an indie! Often I tend to go for the WOW factor with indies, or the total glitter bombs… but sometimes it’s nice to have something that’s soft and cute, with a smattering of glitter that’s tasteful and not so in-your-face. This polish is wow, but in a softer more subtle way than a lot of holo-packed, glitter-packed polishes!

I feel like this nail varnish is a great way to wear glitter to work, for more professional jobs. And I know I’ve mentioned this before but I just LOVE the Scofflaw logo design. It really attracts me.

Hi everyone, it’s that time of the week again where Charlie and I do our colour-themed post. Our Rainbow Series features a different colour each week, and this week it’s green! Green is undoubtedly unarguably one of my very favourite colours, one that I’m really drawn to so this time, choosing 10 top favourites was incredibly difficult! To be honest I’m not even sure if these are my final faves but they are definitely among my favourites… stop waffling Emma… basically, I just bloody love green. I have so many beautiful greens that I am going to consider this more of a showcase of some beautiful green polishes I own. Got there in the end…!
