Textured

Hey pretty ladies ^.^ I have a beautiful Barry M Textured polish to show you today 🙂 I feel a bit bad, I’ve worn this about four times since I was sent it, but never managed to get photos of it when I was working 9am til midnight – not enough daylight in that time!

This is one of my favourite textured polishes, it’s so so delicate and pretty! My photos don’t quite do this polish justice – it’s quite hard to capture the beautiful iridescent sparkles. I think if you struggle to wear white because it makes your hands look red, this polish is the perfect solution. It’s not as stark as pure white polish and the added sparkle really helps to keep the tone of your hands looking natural.

Hey everyone – hope you all had an amazing Christmas?! I’m so sorry I went briefly missing, I unfortunately came down with the most horrendous tonsillitis… I literally spent 3 days intermittently sleeping and waiting to fall asleep with high fever, difficulty breathing/swallowing etc. Thankfully I am much better now, and it didn’t ruin my Christmas day, I still managed to eat some mash and gravy! I’ve had it twice now this year so I’m hoping I’ve not become ‘prone’ to it.

I have a lovely festive polish to show you today… I’ve been wanting this polish ever since I saw the first swatches. I’m still after Zoya Stevie… and not just because I love the TV show! The Zoya Pixie Dusts are Zoya’s take on textured polish. In my opinion, Zoya really do it the best, they’re just hard to get hold of in the UK!

Hey chickas, sorry I’m a bit late with today’s post, I’ve been mostly scheduling my posts all this month so I got complacent and forgot I hadn’t scheduled one for today! All my photos are at Andy’s and by the time I realised I hadn’t scheduled one I was home so had to sort out how on earth to write a post for today eek! The day is saved by Andy who sent some images over for me (trying to explain on the phone to a male that I want ‘the Rimmel ones… yes, the black textured ones… the ones that say RIMMEL on the bottle…they don’t have a name yet I haven’t edited them…’ etc. is harder than I imagined!

Also please don’t mind the minor font change in the images, I have a new laptop (hence no photos) and last time I tried to download my font I accidentally downloaded a sh..load of freeware and spyware so I need to wait until Andy can help me lol! (Sorry!)

Rimmel came out with their own take on textured polishes – the Space Dust Collection – back in the summer. There are five polishes in total, two of which are very unique to me, three of which are the now-standard purple, silver and beige. I loved Total Eclipse from the instant I saw the bottle. Don’t be deceived by the slight purple duochrome effect you see in the bottle – it’s not there on the nail. However this polish is fab and definitely one of my favourite textured polishes!

Hey lovelies 🙂 I feel like I’m bombarding you with textured effects at the moment… I would be sorry but… I love them!! I feel like nearly every brand now has some out, it’s definitely a long-lasting trend at the moment. As usual many seem to be selling fairly identical colours while others are really pushing the boat out. I have to confess to have fallen for a safe silver though, by the name of 2True Pro Sequins ‘Christy’:

Hello lovelies! I have a slightly controversial polish for you all today. This was another impulse buy from Boots whilst in Bournemouth (oh I DEFINITELY made the most of the 3 for 2 offer!)… It was a curiosity purchase, as I’ve now seen so many brands doing similar things and I’ve been hoping for a while that one might just make it work. I think Seventeen just…might!

I’m talking Barry M Sequins, Nails Inc Beaded, Essie Belugaria… of them all I liked Belugaria best and this one is practically a dupe at half the price. I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but see what you think. It’s really grown on me! Behold the Seventeen Rock Hard X-treme Nail Effects in Diamond in the Rough.
