Helloooo lovelies! Today I have a really, really special polish to show you. Stellar is an up and coming UK Indie brand run by the lovely Ruth. She kindly sent me two nail varnishes she made for me, as a ‘cheer you up’ pressie – I was definitely smiling when I saw them!

As always with the UK indie makers, this is a truly, 100% unique polish. The name is the song Ruth was thinking of when she created it – I think this is a truly lovely idea, and I’m listening to the song now as I write this! I love the inspiration in this bottle.

Hello! So today, I have a gorgeous polish to show you. Back last year, photos and blogposts of a pretty beautiful nail varnish started to surface… by the name of Chanel Taboo. It quickly became a cult favourite – everyone wanted it! It was actually only available in the US for quite a while, which I think stirred the proverbial pot here in the UK even more and it became a BIG favourite for Summer/Autumn 2013. I know I really wanted it!

Retailing at around the £18 mark, it was not only hard to get, but hard to justify! So thankfully… (as often happens with Chanel favourites) Boots No7 came up with the perfect dupe.

Hey lovely ladies. A slightly late post from me tonight, but hey, it’s Friday! (My life is so wild…!). Maybelline are really starting to pick up on nail trends lately, firstly with the Color Show Street Artist Collection, and now with the Stripped Nudes Collection. I’m not personally a massive fan of nudes (I tend to be strongly of the colourful constitution!) but this polish caught my eye.

I don’t often see bronze glitter in mainstream nail varnishes so I had to try it. It’s a really nice rose-toned bronze too, not stark or harsh. I layered one coat over two coats of Ciaté Angel Wings.

Hello everyone! I have a THERMAL polish to show you today!! If you haven’t experienced thermal yet (where have you been) it’s basically nail polish that changes colour according to temperature. So if you were to put your nail under a hot tap, it would be one colour, and then under a cold tap, it would change to another. There’s been a massive trend for them in the nail world but I personally haven’t got into them until now! (I know… where have I been…)

This one is a UK Indie polish made by Jess of Fat Puss Polish. I <3 Fat Puss! This one was actually a one-off polish not available for sale but it’s so pretty I had to share! 🙂

Hey chickas. Today I’m sticking with the Maybelline Street Artist collection because Alley Attitude really wowed my pants off, so I just HAD to try this one! I have to admit, I wasn’t keen on this one in the bottle, but I felt like it might look pretty on the nail… so I picked it up anyway. I wasn’t disappointed!

My big challenge with this polish was finding the right ‘underwear’ to go with it. I didn’t fancy white or grey but that left a limited amount of colours that this polish would look nice with. I opted for bright pink in the end, so here I am showing 1 coat of Boom Box Black over 2 coats of Ciaté Kiss Chase.
