Flash Nails Midnight Feast

Hey everyone!! You may remember from a few days ago I showed you Flash Nails Jagged which was a funky mixture of shards, and today I have the second mini polish I won from the giveaway! I’ve found Flash Nails to be so lovely and unique so far so I’m excited to buy more 🙂

The one I have today is called Midnight Feast. I love it when names really conjure up images in my mind – this makes me think of sweetie wrappers and cakes and crisps and chocolate and all things colourful. Growing up midnight feasts were a BIG thing haha, I used to stay at my cousin’s house and we’d plan one every single night!! Never successful because despite what we thought, we were actually very very noisy haha!

Barry M Pearl Silk Effect

You know what I said yesterday about getting later and later? Well… whoops! Here I am at midnight because I’ve been having a very lazy Friday night and I wasn’t honestly sure what to post. Sorry! 😛 Anyway, here is another from the Barry M Silk collection. Over a month ago (can you believe how quickly that’s gone?!) I showed you Barry M Heather, and today I have Pearl to show you. It’s very… well… pearly!

Orly Miss Conduct

Hello everyone!! Late post for me tonight, I’ve been spending the evening with Andy’s grandparents. Since moving we’ve not had anyone to ‘go and see’ so to speak, and they’re down for the week in a holiday apartment so it’s really lovely to spend time with them. Hope you’re all having a good week!

I bought this polish a long while ago in TK Maxx, it was being sold as part of a ‘holiday’ set as it’s from the Naughty or Nice Holiday 2012 collection. It came with one of those eye mask giant pad things which I didn’t care much for, and the two other polishes it came with were called Devil May Care and Unlawful, which I’m not so keen on either… if I’m totally honest, I totally bought the set just for Miss Conduct 😀

Barry M Vanilla Matte

Press Sample

Hello! Last year I was sent the matte collection by Barry M. I have to be honest, at the time I wasn’t keen because I was very much into bright, wonderful colours. Lately I’ve been getting into neutrals and cremes a bit more, so I decided it was time to pull them out again. I’ve actually worn Vanilla at least 3 times before this, but each was while I was working and didn’t have any daylight to go out in let alone take photos in! Better late than never though…;) I’ve worn this a couple more times for interviews, as I feel like it’s a good neutral colour without being unflattering.

Flash Nails Jagged

Hey there! As you know I do love to support the UK indies as they (by default) have a much much smaller market than those in the US, as they can’t send internationally. However the last 2 months I have been beyond broke, and have had to admire from afar while some amazingly pretty polishes make their début here in the UK! But I was lucky enough to win a competition run by Nicola of Flash Nails, where you submitted a name for the polish, and if you won, she sent you a mini of your choice! I adore those kinds of competitions so I was beyond excited to have one, and the best bonus was being able to try her polishes 🙂 Thank you Nicola!
