OPI Polka.com (+ UK dupe!)

February 26, 2013 10 Comments

Hello lovelies, today I have for you the very pretty Polka.com from OPI’s Euro Centrale collection. I love this glitter a lot – the combination of colours is just perfect and it looks super pretty over creme colours.

I am aware that my photos in this post aren’t that great in terms of quality, I couldn’t get the camera to pick up the colours of the glitter in natural light so had to play around with low-lighting but as I don’t have a tripod I had to suffice with my shaky hand, hence why some of the photos are a touch blurry sorry!

Valentine’s Day Nail Art

February 13, 2013 8 Comments

I’m a big sucker for Valentine’s Day, I’m a big romantic and I love any reason to get back in touch with love (and I don’t think that it means I love my man any less on other days of the year either, it’s just nice to get caught up in everyone else’s love, romance and happiness when you don’t see it every day!). That’s not to say that I want to alienate anyone who doesn’t like Valentine’s Day either, and it’s cool to be single too! Just a no-offence-meant disclaimer for you all

So here is the product of a Valentine’s brainstorm… okay I didn’t go very crazy with it but I didn’t want to spoil it, as you will probably see by following the pictures, lol!

Rio Marble Nail Art Polish: London Collection

November 16, 2012 6 Comments

Hello everyone! I know, I know… it’s been forever since I last posted on here, which truly makes me so sad because I love my blog so much… I just seem to have so little free time at the moment; if I’m not at work I’m either sleeping or seeing my Andy and the result is no time to blog or indeed paint my nails! I really want to get back into the habit of doing regular blog posts though so bear with me, I have some ideas to help me manage my time more effectively!

Rio Beauty were kind enough to send me a second kit to review, following my review of the Rio Beauty Lace Nail Foils. I of course JUMPED at the chance, I loved the Lace Nail Foils so I was very excited to try their water marbling kit. To be totally honest with you, I’ve never even attempted a water marble manicure before this kit, purely because I just knew I would make a mess of it!

And of course this makes the perfect second kit to feature in my Christmas Gift Guide 2012!

Leopard Print Nail Art

Day 13: Animal Print. This is another from the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge – again I am so sorry this is so late, basically 2 weeks late! It’s because my job is taking up pretty much all of my time now, which leaves not a lot of time for nail art until I can figure out how to work around it. Anyways, here are my leopard print nails!
