Nail Polish

Jacava London Midnight’s Secrets

Hello lovelies! I have a very pretty blue polish for you today 🙂 before I got into polish properly I used to ALWAYS wear Barry M Navy, so for the last 2 years or so I’ve largely avoided shimmery darker blues. I feel like this one is a good one to get me back into it, I really love the vibrancy of this colour.

Jacava London is a British nail polish brand, which is 8-Free. This means it is free from: Formaldehyde, Toluene, Camphor, Collophane, Parabens, Dibutyl-Pthalate, Pthalates and Animal Ingredients. It is also cruelty free. What more could you ask of a nail brand! 😀 It also has 22 Carat gold printing on the bottle…fancy!

Winterberry Complete Nail Art Kit

Hey everyone! 🙂 I have a super lovely product to show you today 🙂 a few weeks ago the lovely Rachel of Winterberry Nail Art sent me a Complete Nail Art Kit to review. This was the cutest nail mail I think I’ve ever received. I love the concept, the handmade element and the  price – everything is good quality and I can’t fault it 🙂 I tried to make this review as comprehensive as possible. I hope you enjoy! 🙂

Scofflaw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Hey lovelies, today I have a new indie to my collection which will sit pride of place (does anyone else find that once you are indie-addicted all the mainstream polishes are suddenly oh-so-boring? lol). This one is perfect in colour, perfect in opacity, perfect in application, everything. I can’t recommend it enough! I really didn’t want to take this polish off when it eventually chipped.

In the UK you can buy  Scofflaw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot from Llarowe.com, and if you live in the US you can buy it from the Scofflaw Etsy shop, as well as Shoppe Eclecticco in Singapore and Femme Fatale in Australia. These are all subject to stock availability so the best place to get info on Scofflaw is direct from the Scofflaw Facebook page.

Barry M Blue Grape Gelly

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here for a little while, work is just so busy and somehow I have no time for anything other than eating sleeping and recovering from all the loooong shifts! I really need to get the work/life balance back in check. Currently my Andy is in A+E with chest pains and I can’t get there and I’m super worried so I’m writing this blog post to keep myself busy with something  l love.

Very soon Barry M will be releasing all 5 of their new Gelly Nail Paints – Blue Grape, Guava, Mango, Key Lime and Passion Fruit – on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. When the first images of Blue Grape came out I think everyone had it billed for a Nails Inc Baker Street dupe –  I don’t have Baker Street myself but from online swatches I think it’s a tad darker but every bit as bright and gorgeous, and obviously around a 3rd of the price at just £3.99. It’s beautiful, honestly one of my favourite blues ever and I’ve worn this about 3 times already which is saying quite a lot!!

Barry M Guava Gelly

Here is post #2 of the new Barry M Gelly Nail Paints – today I am showing you Guava, a super gorgeous bright teal. The new collection consists of: Mango, Guava, Key Lime, Blue Grape and Passion Fruit. These will be being released on June 5th in Superdrug, and June 12th in Boots. 

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know how much I love my blues and greens… what could be better than a lovely bright teal 🙂 This polish was difficult to photograph, so apologies for using the flash in some of them, for some reason it was the only way I could get a colour-accurate shot.
