HARE Polish Own Your Opulence

Hey lovelies πŸ™‚ here’s a polish that I’ve always loved but never worn (I’m not really sure how that works but there we go!) I’ve always been searching for the ‘perfect underwear’ to show off all the different colours of glitter within. I think I may have found it… I am really happy with this manicure πŸ™‚

Own Your Opulence is from the Hare Polish Last Queen of France, which was brought out in Spring 2013 (I realise I am a year late to the party! :P) I did buy most of this collection on release… and I have to confess I still have two untrieds from it, eek!

Different Dimension Doppelganger

Hey all! Sorry I’ve been a bit absent this week… I decided I needed a bit of a break from blogging for a few days πŸ™‚ hope you don’t mind πŸ˜€ I’m back with this week’s ‘D’-named nail polish for the A-Z Series. It’s Different Dimension Doppelganger (see I even used one with three D’s!). This is a long-loved favourite of mine – it’s the perfect subtle glitter and it’s super pretty. Unfortunately it’s not on sale any more so you’re best looking out for this on blog sales or Facebook sale groups.

I’ve worn this a few times before but have been so busy before I haven’t been able to take photos. I really love it, hope you do too!

Barry M Gelly Summer 2014 Collection Review, Swatches & Comparisons

Hello everyone! I am beyond excited to be bringing you this post today… it’s taken a LOT of prep so I hope you enjoy it :D. Barry M are releasing a brand new Summer 2014 collection of their Gelly Hi-Shine range, which consists of 7 new shades. If you haven’t heard of the Barry M Gelly Nail Paints yet, they are a gel-effect polish which have in general had great formulas and longevity from past collections. I am a massive fan of the Gelly range myself – being the slight addict that I am I have them all…!

As a pre-warning, this post will definitely be a long one as I’ve done some comparisons too, by popular request, so make sure you grab a cuppa!! πŸ™‚

This new line-up is an interesting one – it feels half summery, and the other half are kind of all-year-round polishes. They don’t seem to really ‘go together’ as a collection but I am all for interesting colours! I am well-known for wearing my neons in the middle of the Christmas seasons so I’ll say no more! πŸ˜€

Graffiti Nails Swatches and Review

Press Sample Hello everyone! I received an exciting email a little while ago, asking if I wanted to try some polishes from a new nail brand here in the UK. Β I was interested to see what they would do differently… I often notice that new brands tend to bring out a core line of rainbow cremes for their first launch which I personally don’t find all that exciting – so I was excited to see that Graffiti NailsΒ have started with a great selection of unique polishes!

I decided on Morning Mist Glitter and Fairy Wing Glitter, and they kindly also sent me a surprise nail varnish called Butterfly Pink, which I LOVE.

Emily de Molly Black Forest

Hey everyone! You may remember from last week, a little series has begun called the ‘A-Z Series’. This is between myself and a lovely group of girls who I will list at the end of the post! The idea is that on the day we post, we choose a polish with a name that begins with the corresponding letter for that week. This week is ‘B’, so I have chosen Emily de Molly Black Forest! πŸ™‚

This isn’t an untried for me, but it’s kind of tricky to photograph Β and last time I wore it I applied it badly so I haven’t posted about it before. It’s a gorgeous polish though and really ‘me’! πŸ™‚
