Review

Hey everyone! How are you? I’ve had a bit of an eventful couple of days – I’m learning to drive but I’ve just been rear-ended on a roundabout so it might be a while before I can get back behind the wheel as our car is almost certainly written off 🙁 it was a shock and a half but could have been so much worse so I’m counting my lucky stars!

First of all I want to thank Lynz for her patience with me as it took me quite a while to get this review up, my life schedule is way too busy for my liking!

She kindly sent me these beautiful water decal full nail wraps  which were a lot of fun to try out and I love the designs on them, especially the super cute skull designs! I must forewarn you that my application of these was a little on the shaky-hand side of things so on most people these will look perfect! I’ve never tried water decals of any kind before so for me the first two were trial-and error, you can probably guess which they were ;).

Hello lovelies! So, The Nail Arcade is midway through its week of being a pop-up UK indie polish e-shop, and I thought I’d show you the other gorgeous polish Rachel sent me to review 🙂 having just been hit by a hefty customs charge myself I feel the timing is apt, I just hope she still has some polishes in stock by Friday which is my payday! They’re selling out fast.

I’ve never tried a polish by Serum No 5 before so I was super excited to try it. They come in two sizes: 9ml (Rachel is selling these at £5.55) or 16.7ml (£9). Fame is a beautiful holographic topcoat, so basically you can paint it over any colour to turn it into a holographic-effect polish 🙂 you can use one coat for a more subtle holo effect, or build it up for stronger holographicness.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven’t posted in a little while. I’ve been doing something VERY exciting *hint* 🙂 so my free time, what little I have, has been mostly consumed by that. More news soon ;). A lovely polish friend of mine is also on an exciting polish venture: Rachel, who is the creator of the Winterberry Nail Art Kits I reviewed here, is opening an indie and international nail polish e-shop here in the UK! Yep – no more customs fees, steep shipping charges, fears of losing the polish to customs full stop… etc :). The shop is called ‘The Nail Arcade’. For more info on her shop and updates, click ‘like’ on The Nail Arcade Facebook page. Rachel has kindly sent me two lovely indies to review in the run up to her shop opening on 4th August. One of these is Smitten Polish The Ghost Of Jupiter 🙂

Hey everyone! Here is a polish I am in LOVE with. Happy Hands, a firm favourite indie brand of mine, and Polish Revolution have collaborated to create the ‘Project Badass’ collection, sold under the brand name ‘Happy Revolution’. TOO cool! The collection is apparently based around Always Sunny in Philadelphia. To be honest, I’ve never heard of it before, but I am loving this collection!

It took me a long while to narrow down my favourites (see the full Project Badass Collection), but finally I chose three. (Bloggers, do you ever find that when you’re linking to other sites you fall in love with all the ones you didn’t choose?!). I chose Kitten Mittens, Rum Ham, and Nightcrawlers… all of these are <33333.

SEE?!?! 😀

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!
