Hey chickas! Last summer I got really into my LEs, in particular, Lynderellas and Enchanted Polishes. I went through a phase of hunting them down on eBay, however I actually bought Inner Space second hand. It was a complete impulse purchase, I saw the picture and snapped it right up, without even really looking at swatches. But this nail varnish has become a firm favourite in my collection, so I’m super super glad I bought it!! Lynns can go for silly amounts, so I never buy them for over £15… I think price is an important barrier to set for yourself with limited editions, because it’s too easy to get carried away!

Hi everybody 🙂 I’ve been really getting into pastels lately, I think it’s because I’m craving Spring and sun!! Pastels always put me in the mood for springtime and this year is no exception.

I recently picked this bottle of polish up for just £3 in the Topshop sale, I’m not sure whether it’s an ongoing thing or if it’s seasonal, but it’s well worth a look! It was in a separate section from all the regular makeup. I can’t often justify the £6-something Topshop charges for nail polish, but at £3 I am definitely sold!

Hey everyone 🙂 if you read my review of Models Own Magpie, you’ll know I was lucky enough to win the full Models Own Speckled Eggs Collection in their Instagram giveaway! I couldn’t wait to try them all so here is my second favourite, ‘Dove’. I’m not sure where the inspiration correlates with the name here… dove eggs are a little pinky, but they’re certainly not speckled! And doves themselves can have a little pinky-peachyness to their colour… I’m not sure! Or maybe I’m reading too much into the names…!! Hehe 🙂

Hi! Today I am going to be showing you a beautiful, subtle polish by Emily de Molly. I bought this back in June of last year, and wore it during the time where I didn’t get a chance to even photograph polish, let alone share it on my blog, so here it is in its full glory. I remember this polish being the one I was least excited about when I purchased the ones I did, and I think it was somewhat of a last-minute impulse purchase, but it turned out to be one of my very favourites.

Pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is a beautiful mineral that I used to collect when I was young, as it’s all over the place! I remember one beach on Seil Island in Scotland being particularly abundant with it in its natural state… it’s a beautiful mineral that is a pale brassy gold and metallic in appearance. It used to be sold a lot in museums and by mineral collectors.

Hello lovelies! Hope you’re well. I have some great news – I’m about to start a new job tomorrow morning! A real Monday to Friday, 37.5hr week… I was beginning to think they didn’t exist! It’s going to be such an amazing change from my previous work, which was anything up to 17hrs a day – I even did a few 20hr days when management meetings overran… a LOT! My longest week there clocked up just over 90hrs which pretty much killed me lol.

Anyway, onto the polish. I was lucky enough to win all five of the Models Own Speckled Eggs Collection in an Instagram giveaway they did last week, which was soooo exciting! I can’t afford to buy nail varnish at the moment but I was dying to try these, so it really was a lovely surprise. I decided to try my favourite first: Magpie. I’m a bit of a bird lover so these instantly had me hooked – a name will really sell me on a product! Illamasqua released a set of 5 speckled polishes last Spring under the I’mperfection Collection, which I thought were very muted, which I personally don’t like… the Models Own versions are much more vibrant and pastelly which is perfect in my eyes!
