Hello lovelies! Hope you’re well. I have some great news – I’m about to start a new job tomorrow morning! A real Monday to Friday, 37.5hr week… I was beginning to think they didn’t exist! It’s going to be such an amazing change from my previous work, which was anything up to 17hrs a day – I even did a few 20hr days when management meetings overran… a LOT! My longest week there clocked up just over 90hrs which pretty much killed me lol.

Anyway, onto the polish. I was lucky enough to win all five of the Models Own Speckled Eggs Collection in an Instagram giveaway they did last week, which was soooo exciting! I can’t afford to buy nail varnish at the moment but I was dying to try these, so it really was a lovely surprise. I decided to try my favourite first: Magpie. I’m a bit of a bird lover so these instantly had me hooked – a name will really sell me on a product! Illamasqua released a set of 5 speckled polishes last Spring under the I’mperfection Collection, which I thought were very muted, which I personally don’t like… the Models Own versions are much more vibrant and pastelly which is perfect in my eyes!

Hi everyone, it’s that time of the week again where Charlie and I do our colour-themed post. Our Rainbow Series features a different colour each week, and this week it’s green! Green is undoubtedly unarguably one of my very favourite colours, one that I’m really drawn to so this time, choosing 10 top favourites was incredibly difficult! To be honest I’m not even sure if these are my final faves but they are definitely among my favourites… stop waffling Emma… basically, I just bloody love green. I have so many beautiful greens that I am going to consider this more of a showcase of some beautiful green polishes I own. Got there in the end…!

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s post as much as I did! I’d still love to see any collection posts you’ve done! 🙂 Today it’s the third week of the Rainbow Series. It’s a collaboration between myself and Charlie of Pocket Money Polishes where we both showcase a certain colour each week – this week (after grovelling to Charlie for us to include these colours) it’s peach & coral!

These two colours are funny with my skin tone – they have to be the right shade of peach or coral to work with my tone rather than against it. Hence I don’t have a HUGE amount of them, just a few. Here are my top six:

Hello lovely ladies 🙂 today features a really funky trio by Models Own and Midori – they’ve teamed up to release three melon-scented green polishes all set for the party season! Midori is a melon flavoured liqueur – I confess I haven’t tried it but the mouth-watering scent of these polishes makes me want to! I adore the flavour of melon so I’ll have to give it a go. So today’s question is what would you use as your mixer with Midori?

These may seem unusual colours for winter (particularly the neon green!) but personally, I love a splash of colour during bleary winter, and for those of you who enjoy a night out this is a perfect way to spice up an otherwise winter-coloured outfit without going all-out!

Hello everyone 🙂 I’m back again with a lovely spring pink creme… twit twoo, I am loving this colour! It’s got that perfect ‘plastic-pink’ appearance to it – love it! It falls under my ‘blind spot’ category where in the bottle I really wouldn’t look twice in the shop but I have been very lucky to be given the chance to try it for review, along with Gold Rush and one other, more on that soon ;). Models Own polishes can be bought at Littlewoods.com in their nail care products section.
