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.

Hello lovely ladies! Again it’s been a little while… although I fully intend to get back on track now… I have 1 month of unemployment so there’s no excuse really! Andy and I are moving in together in Bournemouth in January so I’ve got a lot of time to sort out my stash, get through some reviews I’ve promised and show you all some exciting new stuff!

Today I have the exceptionally pretty Alcatraz…Rocks Liquid Sand polish from OPI’s San Francisco collection. I adore this polish… I know some of you aren’t keen on the Liquid Sand finish but this one is a must-have!

Here is the second of five new Textured Effects from Barry M. The Royal Glitters Collection consists of: Princess, Countess, Majesty, Lady, and Duchess. This new collection is very similar in effect to OPI’s Liquid Sands and Zoya’s Pixie Dusts, which personally I much prefer to the first four Textured Effects Barry M released.

Today I am showing you Countess; a deep aubergine purple base filled with golden and rosy pink shimmers/glitters (I am never quite sure with the Textured Effects whether it’s shimmer or glitter!). Anyway, it’s super pretty, really vampy but with an attractive sparkle – it’s perfect for winter parties or a warm autumn outfit.
