Wishlist #147

I have another wishlist for you tonight, I missed last weeks as I wasn't here. But I hope you all have a good week.
                                

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Topshop - Marshmallow - £5.00
2. Topshop - Sweetie Belle - £5.00
3. NYC - Picnic On The Lawn - £2.99
4. Models Own - Cerise - £5.00
5. Models Own - Mauve - £5.00

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Topshop - Marshmallow - This is such a gorgeous pink, I haven't seen a pink like this before. I really love this pink and I need this one so much. It has such a pretty shimmer running through it, I wish I could find this. But I am not sure if they sell this anymore.

2. Topshop - Sweetie Belle - I have no words for how beautiful this polish is wow. I need this so much. The next time I go to topshop I am going to get this because I need it. I have never ever seen a polish so pretty like this.

3. NYC - Picnic On The Lawn - Wow this is a beautiful green, this looks just like the lawn. I need this one so much. NYC haven't got many polishes in my superdrug which is really annoying. I haven't got many polishes from NYC but I love all the ones that I got.

4. Models Own - Cerise - I have this polish, I am not sure if it the same in the picture. I really love this and I cant wait to see if I can go and stamp with it.

5. Models Own - Mauve - This another polish that I have which is from the chrome collection. I can't wait to use it and see how well they come out as I have heard good and bad things about it. I cant wait and I will make it my aim to wear one of the chrome polishes next year.

Haul | Sally's Beauty Supply

So on Monday, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply. I was away for a weekend and there isn't a sally's closest to me that isn't a trade shop. I told my dad how much I wanted to go and he took me. I am so grateful for having parents that understand my love for nail polish ha-ha.
I didn't go super crazy that I know that I could have, but I will make sure that I go to one closer to me if I can find one that is. I got Color Club Nail Art Striper in Solid Silver which was £4.99. Silver is a colour I know I will get a lot of use out of. I have so many cool ideas already for it, I have also never used a nail art stripper so this could be fun ha-ha. I grabbed a OPI Avojuice in Holly Red Hand Lotion which smells so good, this was £2.50. I am guessing it is just a hand cream, I just fancied picking one up. This will be great for my nails.

Now onto the polishes - the exciting part!! I picked up OPI My Private Jet, I have seen so much about this polish so when I saw this in the clearance section I was so excited. I grabbed this for £3.60, what a bargain. I now need to get round to wearing this. The next polish is China Glaze Heroine Chic, this was quite expensive £6.99. I wanted it so I thought why not treat myself, this is from the Rebel collection. The next polish is OPI I Sea You Wear OPI, this was £2.50. I haven't heard of this polish or seen swatches so I just picked it up. I cant wait to wear it. The last polish I picked up is one that I have always wanted. Its China Glaze Grass Is Lime Greener which was £2.16 wow. I am so excited to use this.

The prompt for the Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge was Skulls.
Who said Halloween is only ugly pretty colours. I thought lets change it up a bit and have some pink in it. I used Invogue Sugar Daddy, which come in one of my nailboxes. This is a really nice colour, it is just your simple pink and not very exciting really. But it took two coats, I really love it though. This is a little messy that's the only thing, I am getting better at nail art. My little mini skulls look like baby jellyfish though ha-ha. The bigger skull is good though I feel. I also really love the crossbow that looked a lot better on this hand than my other hand.

This one is actually my favourite nail look that I have done this month. I just love it!
I used Orly Orange Punch. I don't think that this orange can be any brighter right. I love this so much. I used two coats of this and it was so buttery and smooth, to have two coats for a neon is so crazy wow. I got so many compliments on these nails which made my day, I love it when people say how nice my nails are. It makes my day so much. I thought I would have a smiley pumpkin because you don't carve many smiley faced pumpkins do you. They also look super cute don't they.

The next prompt for the Clairestelle8 nail art challenge is Black Cats. I absolutely love this one.
I used Models Own Purple Glare, this is a beautiful creamy nail polish which took two coats. I am so happy that I could finally use this nail polish. It had been so long since I got this and hadn't found a way to use this. But I have now. That's enough rambling, aren't my black cats so cute. I found a picture on Google, but it didn't have a watermark on so I am not sure who created it. I used my regular black and white nail polish. I absolutely love this one. I am so happy how it turned out, cats is never a nail art I thought I would do. But I finally have.

Its prompt 2 of the Halloween challenge, lets have a look at what my nails look like.

This is super cute and probably not that original. The prompt was Graveyard. I saw this imagine on Google and fell in love with it, it didn't have a watermark on so I could give any credit sadly. I used Technic Laguna. This is a really pretty blue, it is sort of a metallic shade. The one problem I did have with this nail polish is on the first coat is it was super sheer. It needed three coats to make fully opaque. I used a black nail polish for the silhouette. I really enjoyed this and it was a simple Halloween look.

TAG | Breast Cancer Awareness

This is a brand new tag which was created by the lovely Mrs Cronall on Youtube and instagram. Seeing as this month is Halloween I haven't had the chance to do a pink nail just for breast cancer awareness, so when I saw this tag I knew I was going to take part in it. So carry on reading all about my favourite pinks.
1. Favourite Neon Pink - My favourite neon pink is from Models Own - Bubblegum, I don't have a huge range of neon pinks. I actually haven't worn this one either so does it count as my favourite. Probably not (oops!). But it is a really bright pink and its calling out to be worn in the summer.

2. Favourite Indie Pink - I have chose Picture Polish - Ornate, is picture polish even classed as an indie. I am classing it as one though, it is such a beautiful pink/purple. I wore this earlier in the year and absolutely loved it. You can read it
here. I love the way it looked on my nails, it was so smooth on my nails. It took just 2 simple coats.

3. Favourite Drugstore/Budget Pink - This could have been so many polishes to choose from. But in the end I chose KIKO - Apple Blossom which is only £3.90. That is so cheap considering how many nail polishes they actually sell. I used this when I did strawberry nails, post
here. I absolutely love this polish it is one of my favourites. It is such a simple colour yet I love it so much.

4. Favourite Pastel Or Light Pink - This was one of my first BarryM nail polishes it is BarryM -Strawberry Ice Cream. I don't have a great swatch of this polish because the pictures were so bad. But I have used a few times which is a shock for me. I really love this polish when the untried year is over I will use it again very soon.
 
5. Favourite Medium Pink - I chose Miss Sporty - Cotton Candy, I could have had so many polishes for this category. I used this here for Valentine's day a couple years ago.  I really like miss sporty polishes they don't get talked about much. But I haven't got many so will need to try and get some more.

6. Favourite Dark Pink - Now I wasn't really sure when it come to medium and dark pink. But I found one anyway, I have Seche - Rendezvous, I used it
here. I cant remember how many coats I used but it would probably have been two. I really love this polish and Seche is brand I could go and look for some more.

7. Favourite Pink With Glitter - This is another polish I haven't used but I felt it was just right for this post. It is KIKO - Pearly Glaze Pink. It is a beautiful pink with silver glitter running through it. I don't know how chunky the glitter is obviously as I avent used it. But my mission is for it to be used in the untried year in 2017. This would be a perfect valentines day polish.

8. Favourite Pink With Shimmer Or Holographic - This confused me a bit, just because the polish I chose I wasn't sure if it leaned into a purple or a pink. It is Beauty UK - Cotton Candy. Another polish called cotton candy, it has a bit of holo in it as it reflects to a different colour.

9. Favourite Pink Glitter Topper Or Full Coverage Glitter - I used Danglefoot Wine O'clock. I have used this once at the start of the year, you can read this
here. Danglefoot is one of my favourite UK indie brands and you should all go and check this out. Wine O'clock was opaque in two/three coats.

10. Favourite Pink Jelly Or Metallic - The polish for this category is Revlon - Ginger Melon. It is a jelly polish, its an odd polish but I really liked it. It is such a pretty pink and it was also scented.  You can read this post
here. It was an odd consistency but I liked the polish, I just felt it was pretty strange.

I hope you liked this post. I hope to take part in more TAG posts soon. I know I could have had so many polishes included in this post. Remember to check your breasts and wear some sort of pink this month for Breast Cancer Awareness month!!

Wishlist #146

So this wishlist was an absolute fail, I couldn't find pictures for any of the pictures which is so annoying.

                                          
Polishes Mentioned:
1. Natural Collection - Mermaid's Tale - £1.99
2. Natural Collection - Parma Violet - £1.99
3. Natural Collection - Moondust - £1.99
4. Topshop - Snowcone - £5.00
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Natural Collection - Mermaid's Tale - I couldn't find this nail polish in the slightest. But I had it in my wishlist so that is why I did it. This is like a silver polish with blue flecks running through it. It is so beautiful. This was from the celebration collection which I cant find anywhere, but it is so pretty. I wish I could get it.

2. Natural Collction - Parma Violet - I haven't found a picture of this anywhere, I am guessing parma violet would be a really pretty violet. I'm pretty sure this is from the celebration collection also. But once again natural collection is so hard to find pictures of.

3. Natural Collection - Moondust - Another one I cant find a picture for, but this is a silver colour. I wish I could fins pictures for you because this makes the post so pointless. Also nobody swatches them because they aren't a go too brand either which makes it really pointless.

4. Topshop - Snowcone - YAY finally a picture. This is a blue metallic, I really like this one. It is just so pretty. This would be perfect for the winter time. I wish I could find it, I might go to topshop tomorrow actually.

This year I am taking part in the Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge. I hope you enjoy this challenge because I am absolutely loving this.

The first prompt of the challenge is Spiders. I used Bourjois Bleu Asphalte, this is a really pretty navy with a drop of deep blue in I think. I absolutely love this look. I wasn't so sure about the spider webs, I did it free hand because I don't have many stamping plates like this. But I was overally impressed with it. Even though I should have put some spiders in it somewhere instead of little black blobs on. I also used Miss Sporty Glitter which is one of my absolute favourite nail polishes of all time.

This was the start of autumn nail polish. Lets get into this polish.
 
I am wearing OPI "Liv" In The Gray, this is so pretty. I know it is just a standard grey but I love grey polishes. I actually won this from Nail Polish Direct, I won it on instagram. I was super excited when this one arrived at my door. I love it, it took only two coats which I was super impressed by. This is from the brand new OPI Washington Collection which I may need to get so many more polishes from.

I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear this time around so I just picked any polish out of my collection.
I used Ard As Nails Selfie, this is a UK Indie brand and it is so pretty. I absolutely love this so much, it took 2 coats I think. This was so smooth and buttery. I need to get so many many more, I feel that there is a new obsession coming and its UK indies. I may do a huge post on UK indies so you can enjoys these beauties just as much as I do. If you want to have a look where you can buy these, click here. I hope you enjoyed this post and are interested in a UK indie brand post, maybe I should build up my collection soon ha-ha then I can do the post.

Wishlist #145

 It is wishlist time once again, lets see what polishes I have picked this week.


Polishes Mentioned:
1. Ciate - Mango Martini - £7.99
2. OPI - Sleigh Parking Only - £8.50
3. OPI - Kiss Me Or Elf - £8.50
4. OPI - I Carol About You - £8.50
5. Ciate - Palmtree - £7.99
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. CIate - Mango Martini - This is a really odd orange polish, it is like a cheesy kind of colour. That is a disgusting comparison though ha-ha. But this would be the perfect autumn polish or even for Halloween. This would look super cool.
 
2 OPI - Sleigh Parking Only - This is a deep purple. This is what you call a perfect autumn polish, winter polish actually. This is really pretty. I do love it, I haven't got many really deep purple shades like this. But I know I do need to get this one. I also love the name because it is so cool. I think this is from the Gwen Stefani collection. I think this collection was a year or two before I had got into nail polish.
 
3. OPI - Kiss Me Or Elf - This is just a lighter pink, it actually looks like China Glaze Better Not Pout. I think this has Christmas all over it, I really love this one. I feel I need this one even though I do have a dupe for it. It is really pretty, I would love to do some stamping over this as it would be really pretty.
 
4. OPI - I Carol About You - This is a super deep purple. It probably isn't unique at all, it looks like one that any collection or brand could have brought out. But it is really nice. This will be absolutely perfect for winter.
 
5. Ciate - Palmtree - I have this one. I do like it but it is a stainer. I was so disappointed in this one, it was nice. But I had really yellow stained nails. It really wasn't great as who wants yellow tinged nails, it just wasn't great.

I am so close to being up to date with my currently wearing. I love this nail look.
I have used Binky London Purple. My biggest pet peeve about nail polish is when the name is just the colour, no think of a cool imaginative name. I absolutely love this polish. It is created by Binky Felstead who was on Made In Chelsea. She has a pretty big collection of polishes, I got mine in my local food shop. This is such a pretty bright purple nail polish. I was certainly feeling the deep colours at the start of autumn. I used two coats with this polish. I hope to go and get more of this because it is such a great brand and one that I haven't seen many people talk about.

At the start of September, I thought I would do back to school nails.

I obviously finished school years and I do now work as a cleaner in a school. But working in a school can ruin your nails that's for sure. I also had to make my nails shorter, I really like the way this looked. I used True Brit London Taxi Cab, this is a strange nail polish. I wanted to really like it. But I feel there was something wrong with this bottle. It just didn't look right on my nails. I didn't like the brush at all, it was super hard to work with. I made cute little doddles onto the nail. I just couldn't decide what doodles to do, some weren't very good but I liked it.

Currently Wearing | #108

So here is another currently wearing, I am slowly but surely getting up to speed. This feels like it could take forever.
I am wearing BarryM Acai Smoothie, this is such an incredible polish. BarryM is one of my favourite brands, but I don't ever seem to wear them. I have so many from them. That is one of my aims next year that I will be wearing them. I used two coats with this polish, it is just so buttery. I feel this colour really suits me. This is such an incredible formula, it is so pretty. You can still go and get this nail polish as it is sold in Superdrug and Boots. This would look beautiful with some delicate flowers or some sort of lace printing.

Wishlist #144

Autumn is finally here! I hope you are all having a great day and a start of a new week. I am starting new hours at work, so I hope everything goes okay.
                                                       

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Topshop - Left Weave - £5.99
2. BarryM - Socialite - £2.99
3. Models Own - Toxic Apple - £5.00
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Topshop - Left Weave - This is such a unique polish, I have never ever seen this shade before. But it is nothing like I have in my collection. Thus is just so pretty and it actually looks just like denim on the nails. I just need to go and get this because it is incredible.

2. BarryM - Socialite - This is a beautiful purple glitter with a flash of blue running through. This is so pretty, I am not sure if they even sell these anymore. I would absolutely love to go and get this. It is so pretty though. Oh BarryM why do you do this to me. I just need to go and every glitter.
 
3. Models Own - Toxic Apple - I actually bought this recently, I am so excited about using this. I have no idea why I didn't wear this before or never picked it up. I think it was one of them polishes where I just decided I wouldn't go and pick it up even though I knew I should have. But I have it now, that is all that matters aye.
