Hey everyone 🙂 here’s another Chubby Owl Polish for you – I am in LOVE with these! I’ve been eyeballing Essiepops since my first order with Jemma, and I finally have it, yay! 🙂 I believe Essiepops was inspired by Jemma’s super cute little hammy hamster, Essieoo!

One of the things I love most about Chubby Owl Polishes is their base colours. All of mine have been amazing – the creme-jelly formulas all seem to have beautiful hidden shimmer, and the jellies are perfect and streak free! Essiepops is no exception, with a fine silvery-blue shimmer running through it 🙂

Hello lovelies! Today I have a really pretty polish to show you which was gifted to me (and made) by my first real-life polish friend, Charlie of Pocket Money Polishes 🙂 I’ve always loved Charlie’s glitters but it’s only in the last 6 months or so that I’ve got into wearing glitter as a topcoat properly, so I haven’t had a proper chance to write a blog post about them yet!

I umm-ed and ahh-ed about the perfect base for this polish for ages. In the end I settled for one coat of P.M.P. I Put A Spell On You over two coats of Illamasqua Poke, my new favourite purple :). I feel like the combination worked really well 😀

Hey chickas, I’ve got another Fat Puss Polish to show you today! 😀 I’m not sure what it is about Fat Puss Polish that makes me love them all so much, perhaps it’s the kitty theme, or maybe Jess just has the best ideas for polish! Either way, all of the ones I own are gorgeous 🙂

This one I’ve been waiting until I can think of the best ‘undies’ to use for it- I think I’ve finally found my favourite combination. This is 1 coat of That’s Not A Kitty It’s A Unicorn! (TNAKIAU for short!!) over 2 coats of Essie Naughty Nautical (a gorgeous teal creme with silvery shimmer).

Hey everyone 🙂 I’ve got another beaauuuuutiful UK Indie from Jemma at Chubby Owl Polishes to show you today! It’s called ‘Majestic Moonstone’. Sighhh. It’s gorgeous, I think this may be one of my very favourite UK Indies to date! I have developed a bit of an addiction to UK Indies but to be honest anyone who didn’t see that coming must be blind!

I love pretty much everything about this polish – the colour, the glitter, the name…have a look!

So today I have a US Indie polish to show you by one of my favourite indie brands: Scofflaw. I’m not sure whether it’s the beautiful labelling, the names, the actual polishes or all three that makes me love them so much but I doooo! Which is how I ended up with the ones I have. I think I had a little panic when Llarowe had a Scofflaw restock back in the summer and worried they’d sell out (I’ve said it before, I really am a marketer’s wet dream!) so I bought all that were in stock! Eek!

Even worse is that I’ve only actually worn two of them, and I have nine! (I’m going to pretend for now that this is the only brand I have this problem with…). Today I have the wonderfully unique ‘Electric Salamander’ – if the name alone doesn’t sell you on this polish, take a peek at what it looks like on:
