Hey lovely ladies. A slightly late post from me tonight, but hey, it’s Friday! (My life is so wild…!). Maybelline are really starting to pick up on nail trends lately, firstly with the Color Show Street Artist Collection, and now with the Stripped Nudes Collection. I’m not personally a massive fan of nudes (I tend to be strongly of the colourful constitution!) but this polish caught my eye.

I don’t often see bronze glitter in mainstream nail varnishes so I had to try it. It’s a really nice rose-toned bronze too, not stark or harsh. I layered one coat over two coats of Ciaté Angel Wings.

Hey chickas. Today I’m sticking with the Maybelline Street Artist collection because Alley Attitude really wowed my pants off, so I just HAD to try this one! I have to admit, I wasn’t keen on this one in the bottle, but I felt like it might look pretty on the nail… so I picked it up anyway. I wasn’t disappointed!

My big challenge with this polish was finding the right ‘underwear’ to go with it. I didn’t fancy white or grey but that left a limited amount of colours that this polish would look nice with. I opted for bright pink in the end, so here I am showing 1 coat of Boom Box Black over 2 coats of Ciaté Kiss Chase.

Hey lovely ladies. The other week I showed you Maybelline White Splatter, one of the Maybelline Street Art (or Street Artist) nail polishes – I really love these! They are really simple glitter mixes but they are super effective for brightening up a manicure or making a plain polish look more interesting. I have been wearing this manicure all day today, and I’m loving it; it reminds me of birds’ eggs! So super cute 🙂

Lately I’ve really been getting into wearing glitters over plain colours (particularly pastels!) so here I’ve used one thick coat of Maybelline Alley Attitude over two coats of Ciaté Sugar Plum (told ya I’d use the Mini Mani Month up, didn’t I?!)

Hey pretty ladies ^.^ I have a beautiful Barry M Textured polish to show you today 🙂 I feel a bit bad, I’ve worn this about four times since I was sent it, but never managed to get photos of it when I was working 9am til midnight – not enough daylight in that time!

This is one of my favourite textured polishes, it’s so so delicate and pretty! My photos don’t quite do this polish justice – it’s quite hard to capture the beautiful iridescent sparkles. I think if you struggle to wear white because it makes your hands look red, this polish is the perfect solution. It’s not as stark as pure white polish and the added sparkle really helps to keep the tone of your hands looking natural.

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 🙂
