Nail Polish

Today I have another UK Indie Polish (expect more of these, I’m a woman on a mission!) to show you. I told you I was determined to get through them! I do have rather a large collection though so indie posts will be interspersed with branded nail polish posts.

This brand is by my lovely friend Jemma, with whom I have essay-long conversations on Facebook! It’s called Chubby Owl Polish – just the cutest name ever – and with the most adorable little logo. The nail polish I’m showing you today unfortunately isn’t on sale any more but Jemma has loads of pretty colourful polishes in the shop on a regular basis, so it’s always worth a look.

**UPDATE** Jemma will be popping Midnight Owls in the shop at the end of this week for anyone who fancies it! 😀 x

I’m making headway with my untried UK indies! I have a lorra love for my fellow UK indie girls, they’re all so lovely and all with lovely polishes! Here is one by Nail Lacquer UK, made by AJ, who also runs the blog Nail Lacquer UK. I just love both – she does incredible nail art on her blog and her polishes are just gorgeous!

The one I’m showing today isn’t in the shop any more, but she has plenty more pretty polishes worth a browse! I believe it was part of her Christmas collection, of which I have two 🙂 I think this polish could be worn all year-round though, it’s quite a versatile colour. Each polish by AJ comes with the cutest little charm around the neck, as shown in the first photo – I think it’s such a nice unique touch to the product :).

Hey everyone! I’m trying to make some headway with my ever-growing UK indie stash, so here is a pretty polish that’s been left untried for a while. I’m not sure I chose the right underwear for it but it certainly made for an interesting manicure! It did look much nicer in person, honestly! 🙂

This is Tainted Love, from Hairy Legs London – a brand I fell in love with from the moment I read the name. So quirky and funky! But in all seriousness, there are some amazingly unique polishes in the shop – well worth a browse!

Hello everyone! I’m back! The move has gone well, apart from quite a few hiccups on behalf of our letting agency… but we are loving it here. This evening we had a long walk along the beach which feels like such a luxury. Hope you’re all well!

I have a beautiful gem of a nail polish to show you today. Unfortunately it is USA-exclusive so it is a little hard to get hold of in the UK – I bought Butter London Scouse from Active Beauty with brilliant price, delivery time, and packaging – this is definitely one I would recommend. It also pops up on eBay and Amazon, and on different salon sites from time to time with competitive prices; I would use Google Shopping for a breakdown and comparison of prices and stockists.

Hello lovelies- first and foremost I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year! Sorry I’ve (again) been absent… I *hope* I have a good enough reason… Andy and I are moving into our first home together, in a different city *eek* so I’m super excited/busy/stressed/exhausted/thinking a million things a minute. This also means I’m being productive, which also means my blog takes a little bit of a sideline to priorities like sorting out insurance, packing, cancelling incorrectly taken direct debits (side story: Tesco screwed me over!). Anywho, since it has been a good 5 days since I posted, I thought I’d update you all! 🙂

Last year, I bought the Ciaté Mini Mani Month (nail polish advent calender) in a fit of indulgence, loved opening all the doors and looking at all the cute polishes but never used any of them. Not for the whole year. How bad is that! So I promised myself this year, if I bought it, I HAD to use them. And so far I’m doing pretty good – this mani alone consists of 6 Mini Mani Month offerings! Anyway, I bought the Mini Mani Month half price in their Christmas Day sale… for just £21! £24.95 delivered… that works out at just over £1 per bottle! It is still on sale on the Ciaté website so grab it while you can! <3

I was very much inspired by an image Jess from Fat Puss Polish posted on Facebook… Well okay, I lie, I stole her idea for my accent nail. It was just amazingly pretty and haunted my mind until I finally had the Mini Mani Month in my hands!
