Review

Hey there! I am still having problems with my ever-breaking nails so once again I have delved into the archive of swatches I’ve photographed but never blogged about.  (And honestly I’ve got a little bit tired of wearing dark colours all winter so fancied showing something summery! Heehee!) Enter Zoya Harper – from the ‘Bubbly’ half of the Tickled & Bubbly collection. This was a collection of jellies, all of which had a strong shimmer and iridescent glitter throughout.

I couldn’t afford to get any of them when they first released, but at some point in the early autumn I bought Harper and Binx (both of which I love!). The main issue with these nail polishes seems to be opacity, although luckily for Harper this isn’t a problem – I think it may be the only one!

Hello! Recently I was kindly sent two new Nella Milano nail polishes to review. Nella Milano is a new brand, created in France.

On first impressions I fell in love with the bottle (if you’ve been following this blog for a few years you’ll know how much I love a rectangular/square bottle!) and the style of the brand – it’s very chic. My favourite part is the caps – the design is simple yet unique and very attractive!

Hello! Happy New Year! Hope you all had a great festive season, whatever you celebrate. I spent time with my mum and brother, my mum’s partner and his family, and my boyfriend’s family too – it’s always so good to spend time with the people you love! Anyway… I broke a nail and since mine have been quite battered and dry lately I cut them all back, so I’m going back into the photo archive so show you an oldie but a goodie!

You probably already know my undying love for Picture Polish, an independent Australian nail polish brand. I daren’t even think how much I’ve spent on their nail polish in the last year! You might also know that I’m not normally a big fan of cremes from indie brands – I tend to think that I’d rather spend the money on a unique nail polish, while cremes are ten a penny in most highstreet brands. But for some reason, this one really drew me in earlier in 2014, and I had to have it.

This is Picture Polish Wisteria – so-called after Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewives (which I used to watch like an addict!).

Hello everyone! It’s getting very close to Christmas! I hope whatever you celebrate, you are having a great time of year. I was kindly sent two sets of Nail Strips by OMG Nail Strips, who are a US brand committed to bringing beautiful, affordable nail designs to everybody in the simple form of the nail wrap/nail strip. I’ve reviewed a couple of nail wraps from other brands before now, and I have to say these are my favourite so far.

I firstly want to mention that OMG Nail Strips ship internationally, so this is accessible for those of us in the UK too :).

Hello lovely ladies. Today was the tragic day of the Sydney siege, which I think has shaken the world and reminded us how precious every single seemingly ‘normal’ day really is. Of course, my thoughts are with all those affected by the incident.

On a happier note now, by random chance, today I am wearing Australian nail polish brand ‘Picture Polish’. They recently released a new set of nail polishes, and if you have been reading my blog for a while (or following my Instagram) you will know what a Picture Polish devotee I have become! I limited myself to three of the new collection, so today I have ‘Lollipop’ to show you. Which I LOVE, by the way!
