Lynnderella Inner Space

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!

Emily de Molly Pyrite

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.

Scofflaw Little Edie In The Grey Gardens

Hey everyone, how are you all today? I was looking back over my old blogposts the other day, and I realised I never put anything much of my life in these any more. Is that something that you liked or something you don’t miss? In case you’re interested, I’m still looking for a job to no avail… I’m trying hard not to let it get me down but every few days it does get on top of me! I’m really glad to have my blog to create some consistency in my life… at the moment it’s mostly job-hunting and keeping the flat tidy, it’s very boring! Anyway, hope you’re well. I’m going down memory lane tonight and listening to The Eagles – Hotel California 🙂

Scofflaw Cloud Cuckoo Land

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well :).

Today I have a nice palate cleanser polish, that happens to also be an indie! Often I tend to go for the WOW factor with indies, or the total glitter bombs… but sometimes it’s nice to have something that’s soft and cute, with a smattering of glitter that’s tasteful and not so in-your-face. This polish is wow, but in a softer more subtle way than a lot of holo-packed, glitter-packed polishes!

I feel like this nail varnish is a great way to wear glitter to work, for more professional jobs. And I know I’ve mentioned this before but I just LOVE the Scofflaw logo design. It really attracts me.

Glam Polish Day Dreamer

Hello everyone! Today I have a really unusual take on the circle glitter trend, although since buying this polish a month or so ago, I’ve seen more and more of them popping up! I’m still not certain on how much I like circle glitter, it’s definitely growing on me… this one really caught my eye though. It’s Australian Indie brand Glam Polish‘s ‘Day Dreamer’ – as it was relatively sunny today I felt that an Aussie polish was only appropriate!
