Review

I’ve spent the last few days attending interviews and generally wearing office-friendly nail polish, so today it was high time I injected some colour into my life! It came in the form of Hairy Legs London Rainbow Troll. This polish is normally not something I’d choose for myself, Sanita who owns Hairy Legs London added it in as an extra when Royal Mail played up with the postage of Tainted Love (so kind of her!) and to my surprise, I ended up loving it!

You may be old enough to remember the little troll dolls of the 90s, and apparently the 60s, 70s and 80s too (I never knew they existed before the 90s until I did a little reading!) I personally never collected them but around about 90% of my friends were OBSESSED with them! Rainbow Troll is apparently inspired by the Russ Good Luck Rainbow Troll. I’ve Googled it excessively and it still comes up with troll dolls so I *think* that is what they are, hehe! Please correct me if I’m wrong!

Today I have another UK Indie polish to show you. Fat Puss Polish is run by Jess (@claws4paws). It’s one of my favourite UK Indie brands as all of her polishes are inspired by cats. And I LOVE kitty cats (and dogs too!). Anything animal-themed has a special place in my heart, I’m not quite sure why (marketers everywhere would love me) but anything animal-themed just jumps straight onto my wishlist.

This polish completely blew me away when I first saw it. I closed the tab and convinced myself I didn’t need it. Less than a day later I was back, ogling. Don’t try and tell me you haven’t done this too! I closed the tab. This pattern continued until I just couldn’t take it any more and I bought it umm… bought it… alone. (Okay okay I may have bought a couple more, shh!).

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.
