Nail Lacquer

Hello everyone!! So a really exciting package came through the post this morning from Rimmel 😀 it contained the new Sweetie Crush collection and the new Rita Ora collection (more on that one soon!) and this lovely little set of biscuits – a big smile was painted on my face and I got right to work!

I hadn’t heard much about the Rimmel Sweetie Crush collection before today, but I can tell you that it’s a collection of 5 gorgeous sweetie-inspired textured polishes, all in lovely Spring/Summer shades! I have to say I love the packaging too… the cute retro sweet-shop awning on the caps is just adorable!

Hey everyone! 🙂 Jacava London is a brand that I really love, I think they tend to fall slightly below the radar at the moment as they’re still a fairly new brand, but they are brilliant. Their colours are all really luxurious and beautiful, as are their bottles, which are printed in 22 carat gold! My favourite thing about them though is that they are cruelty-free, vegan, and 8-free (free from DBP, Camphor, Formaldehyde, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin/Tosylamide, Parabens, Phthalates and Animal Ingredients). They are passionate about providing a safe nail polish that doesn’t harm furries and that is something that’s very close to my heart.

At the beginning of the New Year, Jacava released a massive 2014 collection, and I was asked to review a couple. Of course I leapt at the opportunity!

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…!

Hello everyone! Today I have a really unusual take on the circle glitter trend, although since buying this polish a month or so ago, I’ve seen more and more of them popping up! I’m still not certain on how much I like circle glitter, it’s definitely growing on me… this one really caught my eye though. It’s Australian Indie brand Glam Polish‘s ‘Day Dreamer’ – as it was relatively sunny today I felt that an Aussie polish was only appropriate!

Hello! Recently every brand and their dog in the UK has been coming out with ‘gel-effect’ polishes. I’m a fan. I have always loved the look of gel nails, but without wanting to commit to a single colour for more than a couple of days they aren’t for me. So these gel-effect nail varnishes are perfect! I’ve come to realise though that these seem to be very hit and miss. Barry M stormed it with their Gellys, but Models Own seem to have had a bit of a fail with the HyperGels, according to the blogosphere. Nails Inc also seem to have made some lovely coloured ones, but their Kensington Caviar gel-effect topcoat seems to have been one big flop. And I honestly haven’t heard much at all on the Rimmel Salon Pros,  so now that Seventeen have brought out their take, how will they fare?
