Wishlist #133

So here is my wishlist, this is just for one brand and I cant wait for you to see it.
                                          

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Picture Polish - Coral Reef - £9.50
2. Picture Polish - Bonkers - £9.50
3. Picture Polish - Chillax - £9.50
4. Picture Polish - Imperial - £9.50
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Picture Polish - Coral Reef - This is such a beautiful coral shade. I have to admit I really do like coral shades but only in the summer. I think they are one shade of polish that has to be in the summer or spring polishes. I love this shade.
 
2. Picture Polish - Bonkers - I cant tell what colour this really is, but oh boy its pretty. I really love this shade. I reckon this would be perfect in the winter and colder months. I would really like this one maybe have to go and look for it.
 
3. Picture Polish - Chillax - This polish is so me. I am a huge fan of mint and turquoise shades so this has defiantly got my name on. I need this now because it is just so beautiful, would look perfect if you were on holiday or have a little tan.
 
4. Picture Polish - Imperial - Wow I have never seen a colour like this, I really need this. Oh picture polish you have well and truly sucked me in. I just need every single polish you have ever created. I now need so many more polishes to add to my only one picture polish ha-ha. I blame youtube and instagram for this.

This is the second challenge in the glam nail challenge. I will tag them all so you are able to see each nail art post that I have or will do when I take part in these nail art challenges.
The second theme was cotton candy. I have to admit this was super hard, I had no idea what to do for this. I just looked at so many pictures and I thought that isn't what candy floss looks like at all. Candy floss is what its called in the UK, but I found this design pretty cute. I used Maybelline - Nude Rose with ELF - Fairy Dust over the top of it. I think the little candy floss looks super cute and quite cartoony really. I am impressed with myself. I feel the glitter quite lacks some colour even though it was quite holographic, it didn't seem to show up in this picture. The Maybelline polish I used was opaque in two coats. I remember using this before and absolutely hating it just because it was so watery. But I liked it and felt that it was a lot better than I remembered. I may need to pick up more Maybelline polishes.

This was the first day of my Glam nail art challenge. This is a challenge which is based on instagram. There are a few creators on instagram and I would check out the hashtag #glamnailschallenge with the month.
The first challenge is bees. I have always been wanting to do this as a nail art for ages. I used Topshop - Lightning Dust. This is a matte nail polish. Yellow isn't really a nail polish I would automatically go for because I don't think yellow suits my skin tone. But oh I really do love this. I followed a tutorial from the incredibly talented nailsbyjema. I decided I would do a bee accent nail using a white base to make it really stand out. Then I just did the design of a bees outlining on the finger next to my thumb nail. I do love this look and I feel like I could be braver to now wear yellow nails. I also did this all free hand which was a little struggle but I am very impressed with my first day

Wishlist #132

Its wishlist time once again, I hope you are all having a great weekend.


                                          

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Essie - Beach Bum Blu - £7.99
2. Essie - Chills & Thrills - £7.99
3. Essie - Ridge Filling Base Coat - £7.99
4. Essie - Fall In Love - £7.99
5. Essie - Partner In Crime - £7.99
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Essie - Beach Bum Blu - This is such a beautiful metallic shade. I love these sort of nail polishes. This comes across as a kind of like a chrome effect. I really do love this polish, it is just so pretty. I may need to get this. I mean how many chrome blues do you need in your collection.

2. Essie - Chills & Thrills - Now I have seen this swatch a lot of times. I do love this, it is like a blurple. If you don't know its a blue and a purple ha-ha. I think this is just so pretty , it is gorgeous isn't it.
 
3. Essie - Ridge Filling Base Coat - I think when I wrote this wishlist I had a few ridges in my nails. But this isn't really needed at the moment, I may need to get it just in case, its super expensive though.

4. Essie - Fall In Love - Now this is such a strange colour. It sort of leads to a khaki green but with a drop of grey I think. This just looks so pretty though. I do need this one and I haven't heard about this polish at all.
 
5. Essie - Partner In Crime - I have this polish. It is quite a deep dark brown, I have to admit not very exciting. But this may be perfect for nail art. I can't wait to use this though. Even though it is a rather boring polish ha-ha. I always need to use brown polishes in the autumn or winter months.

Currently Wearing | #87

I am so close to getting on top of these currently wearing's, ha-ha. I am sure I will get there soon.
 
                 
I loved this manicure. I was inspired by a video that my auntie showed me on Facebook, it was full of  using striping tape so that is what I used. I used Rimmel - Keep Clam And Party, this is a very pretty purple and its probably something that isn't original in my collection but I suppose we all have that colour is very similar. As my accent nail I used Seventeen - Gold Shimmer, I really liked this. I wasn't sure how this would turn out because I used striping tape before and it didn't turn out very well. But I have to say I am very pleased with this and I absolutely love it. I have to say my nails are super short here ha-ha. I also will be making that I used the gold nail polish in a full manicure as well.

Wishlist #131

I hope you are having a lovely weekend, it is pouring as I write this. It is just so disappointing it looks awful. Also with a  thunder storm, well isn't that stupid its meant to be summer and its raining. But anyway lets not talk about how bad the weather is but nail polish woo.
 
                                

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Models Own - Inky Blue - £4.99
2. Essie - Mezmerised - £7.99
3. Essie - Shake Your $$ Maker - £7.99
4. Essie - Pink Works - £7.99
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Models Own - Inky Blue - I have this, just of course I haven't used it. But it is a beautiful navy blue. This would be great for Christmas or even just as a winter nail. I need to start doing full nail arts instead of accent nails.
 
2. Essie - Mezmerised - I am not really sure what's up with this picture as it didn't come out correctly. But its another blue. You can defiantly see the difference between the two. This is like a school blue, like a primary school uniform. Strange way to describe it but that's what it is. I really like this shade so pretty.
 
3. Essie - Shake Your $$ Maker - Now this is my kind of green. What am I kidding they are all my kind of greens. But I love this name it is pretty funny ha-ha. I love this green. I probably have so many greens just like this but I am willing to go and get many many more. I am planning a post about green nail polish and showing you my collection. I'd quite like that.
 
4. Essie - Pink Works - This is such a pretty and delicate light pink. I really love this kind of pink. I am just not sure if this kind of pink suits at all. I do like this one and I haven't seen this pink from Essie before.

Currently Wearing | #86

This may be my favourite nail art that I have done in a long while. I hope you are all having a great week in this lovely sun, if you have sunshine that is.
I chose daisy nails. I was in some need of nail art inspiration. At the start of the year I set myself a goal where I would try to do more nail art and that is what I am doing. So I decided I would do daisy nails. I used KIKO 296 Meadow Green. This needed three coats, it was very watery in the first coat and I didn't have much hope for it that's for sure. But three coats made it look a log better that's for sure. I was inspired by a picture I found on Google, I sadly cant give any credit to this person who originally did this design because it didn't contain a watermark. I used LA Colors - French White as my go to white nail polish and NYC - Yellow Taxi for the yellow blob ha-ha. I love this look and eve though I may not be the best at nail art, I am a little shaky when it comes to doing the white lines. But I love this look.

Long Awaited Haul

I honestly cant tell you when this post was originally meant to be posted. But I suppose it is better than never aye ha-ha.

First I treated myself as I took on more hours at work. Even if doing it is ruining my nails ha-ha. I got Show Us Your Tips from the OPI New Orleans collection, its is a beautiful periwinkle shimmer, I haven't worn it yet but I will be soon. Then I got my first ever A England in Saint George, this is a shimmery emerald green, or maybe a forst green. Not sure on how you would describe this. Then I have one from the hello kitty collection, which I need more of. This may be my favourite collection as I just love hello kitty. This is super cute in pink.
This is from danglefoot polish, I have one polish called dance all night. This is such a beautiful nail polish its also a neon with a shimmer running through it. I just cannot wait to wear this because it is so pretty. Then the next one I have is ditch the diet, this is a crème nail polish. I absolutely love this nail polish. I am sure I have one like this already. But oh boy isn't this so great.

Then the last picture is what I was lucky enough to win in a giveaway. This is from UK brand freckles polish. I got you make me so matte which is a matte top coat. I actually don't know where my top coat actually is. Then the last polish is her lobster's lobster which is actually a limited edition polish which isn't no longer made anywhere. But this looks so great and I will hopefully be wearing it soon.

Wishlist #130

Its nail polish wishlist time once again, lets see what nail polishes I have in this weeks one.

                                
Polishes Mentioned:
1. Picture Polish - Shocked - £9.00
2. Essence - L.O.L - £2.99
3. Essence - Kiss Me Freddy - £2.99
4. Models Own - Ebony Green - £5.00
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Picture Polish - Shocked - This is such a beautiful pink shade with micro glitter running through it. This is just a beautiful colour. I really love the look of this. I have only got one picture polish but I actually have this on now. I know that I need them more and more.
 
2. Essence - L.O.L - This is an incredible lime green nail polish. I couldn't find this as a bottle, it is only swatches. So I decided I didn't want to take someone else's swatch. I am gutted that I cant find this anywhere. I am obsessed with green nail polishes. This is the only thing that I need, if that was the only colour that I had I would be so happy.
 
3. Essence - Kiss Me Freddy - This polish reminds me of frozen in a bottle. This is just so pretty. I need this as I don't have many polishes like this. it is just so pretty, really is beautiful. Essence have got some gorgeous polishes and this is just one of them. I bet this would be perfect in the winter months when it is icy cold.
 
4. Models Own - Ebony Green - This is just a beautiful green. Again a super dark green, I am a fan of greens as I have mentioned previously before. But this is incredible, I will be wearing this very soon I reckon maybe for the autumn months.

Currently Wearing | #85

This is my 85th currently wearing, can you believe it. Its almost got to 100. I am still a little behind, but I promise I am getting there.

This polish I am wearing is Claire's - Fairy Wings. I remember with this polish that I looked at it and never bought it. Then I eventually went in and bought it. I honestly only bought this for the name because I thought the name is just so adorable. Its such a delicate nail polish. It was quite sheer at the beginning, but the three coats deepened the colour. I am not usually a fan of lilac shades, but after this one I am hopefully going to wear them more often because I really enjoy it.
