Rimmel Sweetie Heart Matte Collection

Hello everyone! Hope you’ve had a happy Easter, or bank holiday weekend, or whatever you celebrate/don’t celebrate 😀 I received these new Sweetie Heart nail polishes from Rimmel a couple of weeks ago (unfortunately I’ve been so busy job-hunting, I have got a little behind with my schedule!) and I’ve been trying them out. They seem so perfect for spring, I hope you’ll agree 🙂

The Sweetie Heart collection is an all-matte collection, consisting of 5 pastel-type shades. I think the theme is based on the ‘Love Hearts’ sweeties made by Swizzels Matlow – the ones with phrases like ‘kiss me’ on them 🙂

Seaweed Nail Art – MoYou Doodles Plate 07

Hello friends!  I’m afraid I’ve another stamping manicure to show you today – I’ve caught the stamping bug well and truly and I don’t think it’s going anywhere soon! 😛

Andy was kind enough to treat me to three stamping plates from MoYou London – eek! I was so excited it was ridiculous! They arrived two days ago and I would guess I’ve spent a good 8 hours just playing around with them. And during that playing around time, I came up with this manicure 🙂

This is possibly my favourite stamping plate in the world ever, so of course I had to show you this one asap! I’ll be using more of it in the future, but for now I’m showing you the seaweedy bits!

OPI Snow Globetrotter

Hey there 🙂 I hope you’ve all had a good weekend! If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you may know that I went to see Placebo over the weekend (aka the band of my entire painful teenage growing up period!) and it was A M A Z I N G! It’s nearly 6 years since I went to a proper gig – my last before this was Metallica, or the Wailers… I can’t remember 😛 in 2009. Anywho, these are the nails I wore to see Placebo. Which was the best thing I’ve done in like, years. <3

Back for Valentines Day JustMyLook sent me a few nail polishes to create a nail art look, and since I got to choose them myself (and I love all three) I thought I’d review them for you in the next couple of weeks. One of these was OPI Snow Globetrotter, aka my favourite glitter for the last month and a bit! I’ve worn this in at least 5 manis, and I haven’t worn all that many manicures, hehe!

Essence Latex Matt Effect – The Black Cat 32

Hey everyone! I have an Essence nail polish to show you today. Essence isn’t a brand I’ve tried much before – for a long time they weren’t available in the UK and since they launched in Wilko I haven’t really been into one to see what they have to offer.

Essence kindly sent me a few of their nail polishes to review, so I’ll be showing you the first of these today! This is Essence The Black Cat, which is a ‘latex matt effect’ nail polish. I’ve been needing a black nail polish so this is kinda handy for me!

Barry M Plumpy Gelly Topcoat

Hey everyone 🙂 a couple of weeks back I showed you the new Barry M Speedy Collection and the Spring 2015 Barry M Gelly additions – at the same time they released the new Gelly Hi-Shine “Plumpy” Topcoat, which I was also sent to review. I thought I’d try it out for a little while to give a proper overview on it, hence why this review is a little late! 🙂

As this is part of the Gelly range, it’s designed to have a ‘gel effect’ to look nice and glossy and slightly thick.
