Hare Polish For the Love of Lisa

Since I’ve been posting a fair few mainstream nail polishes lately, I felt like it was time to show you all another indie from one of my favourite makers – Hare Polish :). I know this one isn’t exactly season-appropriate, but hey, rules were made to be broken ;). I believe the inspiration behind this nail polish is Lisa Frank, an artist who uses very bright, colourful media in her pieces.

As usual, Nikole (the lady behind Hare Polish) has created a small masterpiece – this nail polish is just stunning.

Barry M A/W 2014 Silk Nail Paints – Swatches and Review

Today I have another few Barry M Nail Paints to show you all. Barry M have been super busy and have brought out a LOT of nail polishes in the last few weeks – today I am showing you the new Autumn Silks / Winter Silks which are: Forest Silk, Orchid Silk and Poppy Silk. The idea of the nail effect is to look like the material silk (which I think it does quite well!).

I have to confess I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first Silks (released earlier this year) which were all pastels – but these three are just gorgeous! I couldn’t decide which one to put first because I love them all a LOT! Because these all dry to a satin-matte finish, I decided to do one shot of them in their ‘natural state’, and one with topcoat (because they look amazing with topcoat!).

Barry M Christmas 2014 Boots Limited Edition Nail Paint – Swatches & Review

It’s that time of year again, and Barry M have once again brought out two beautiful Christmas glitters for Boots. These could actually pass for Halloween/Bonfire Night polishes I think, given that their names (Starlight and Moonlight) are very suited to those festivities!

I have to confess, when I picked mine up in Boots my initial thoughts were that they looked very similar, however as you will see below, they are quite different. Both have large glitter shapes in which is a big YES in my books! 🙂

China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You

Hello everyone! I’m getting better at being a little more regular posting on here… a little bit better. Again I’ve had a lot of unexpected travel this week which has made posting very difficult – I wanted to get this one up a lot earlier than this but that’s just how life works sometimes unfortunately. Anyway!

You may have seen my review of China Glaze Don’t Let The Dead Bite, which was sent by nailpolish.co.uk for me to review. They also kindly included Choo-Choo Choose You for me to review too, so I’m excited to be showing you this one today! I think this nail polish has already gained somewhat of a reputation in the nail world so far – it’s incredibly unique and interesting – I have nothing else remotely like it! Choo-Choo Choose You is part of the Autumn/Winter 2014 All Aboard Collection.

Stellar Nail Polish

Hello lovely people. Today I have another exciting instalment of nail polishes from the lovely Ruth of Stellar Nail Polish, who kindly sent them for me to review. This time they are all named after songs by Scandinavian bands, and they are all gorgeous!

What I love about Ruth’s brand is that you can listen to the song that inspired the nail polish – which I think is such a nice touch and really gives some insight into the thought process behind each colour. As always, each is unique and super pretty!! 🙂
