Hey there! I am still having problems with my ever-breaking nails so once again I have delved into the archive of swatches I’ve photographed but never blogged about.  (And honestly I’ve got a little bit tired of wearing dark colours all winter so fancied showing something summery! Heehee!) Enter Zoya Harper – from the ‘Bubbly’ half of the Tickled & Bubbly collection. This was a collection of jellies, all of which had a strong shimmer and iridescent glitter throughout.

I couldn’t afford to get any of them when they first released, but at some point in the early autumn I bought Harper and Binx (both of which I love!). The main issue with these nail polishes seems to be opacity, although luckily for Harper this isn’t a problem – I think it may be the only one!

One of my (blogging) New Year’s resolutions was to do at least 20 nail art posts this year – that’s just under 2 a month, and I have just realised that the end of January is fast approaching! I actually did this particular manicure about 2 weeks ago, but got distracted writing my 2014 Year in Review post and my  4 Year Blogiversary post – apologies! You will also notice that my nails are particularly short in this post – I had a low break over Christmas and decided to cut them all down and start over. Somehow that always feels so refreshing! (Anyone else?)

Anyway, I dug out some old nail vinyls that I haven’t used in a while, and decided to play around with them. I fancied something angular so out came the lightning shapes.

Hey everyone – hope you all had an amazing Christmas?! I’m so sorry I went briefly missing, I unfortunately came down with the most horrendous tonsillitis… I literally spent 3 days intermittently sleeping and waiting to fall asleep with high fever, difficulty breathing/swallowing etc. Thankfully I am much better now, and it didn’t ruin my Christmas day, I still managed to eat some mash and gravy! I’ve had it twice now this year so I’m hoping I’ve not become ‘prone’ to it.

I have a lovely festive polish to show you today… I’ve been wanting this polish ever since I saw the first swatches. I’m still after Zoya Stevie… and not just because I love the TV show! The Zoya Pixie Dusts are Zoya’s take on textured polish. In my opinion, Zoya really do it the best, they’re just hard to get hold of in the UK!
