Currently Wearing | #123

I'm back with another currently wearing. Let's get into the polish. 
I'm wearing Tanya Burr Cookie Cutter. This was one of the polishes she bought out last year. I was excited to use this. But when I started painting I was a big like oh. I originally thought this was in a brown base. Then I would have loved the polish, it's in a clear base. That is super hard to get off. I mean I liked it, but next time I will be wearing it over a brown or something like that. It is a nice glitter but the smell was slightly off putting.

Wishlist #151

I haven't posted much this week, but here I am. I apologise that I have been absent, I just haven't been in the mood to post. I have been a bit deflated this week with my nails as they snapped.
 
                                         
Polishes Mentioned:
1. L'Oreal - 213 - Sassy Pink - £4.99
2. L'Oreal - 302 - £4.99
3. Essie - Capri - £7.99
4. Essie - Pink Glove Service - £7.99
5. Essie - Dj Play That Song - £7.99
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. L'Oreal - 213 - Sassy Pink - This is a beautiful Barbie pink. I think this is the definition of a Barbie pink. It is so pretty. I really like this. I mean you can never have enough pink polishes can you. I have only one L'Oreal polishes and it was actually a glitter topper.
 
2. L'Oreal - 302 - Okay I'm not sure why this is in the wishlist. I don't really like yellow, I feel its an odd colour. But when the time comes I will have it in my collection. That probably makes zero sense, but you may need to get some.

3. Essie - Capri - This is a really pretty orange/coral shade. I really like this, I feel this is an old Essie as I haven't seen it. I mean it was probably before I was really into nail polishes. I absolutely need this as it is gorgeous. This will be perfect for summer.
 
4. Essie - Pink Glove Service - After seeing swatches of this, I'm not keen of this. It is super sheer, I hate sheer polishes. I really should look into polishes before writing it down. So scrap this one. I will I could pull of sheer polishes but I have a few dents in my nails.
 
5. Essie - DJ Play That Song - That polish is beautiful. I really love deep purples, this would be perfect for winter or the start of spring. I absolutely need this polish, I will hope to find it maybe on fragrance direct. I love this polish.

Currently Wearing | #122

First of all I have to start this post of with an apology, I have been slacking. There hasn't been many posts recently. But I promise you I'll have a few planned in December.

Enough talking Hayley haha. I have been wearing a Rimmel Hottie Choccie. I absolutely loved this polish, it's from the super gel line. I have decided I need every polish from this collection. I knew I needed this when I saw Veryemily swatch, her swatches are incredible. This polish reminds me of chocolate orange because it had orange flecks running through it. I think it's fair to say I love this polish, also it was two coats.

Wishlist #150

It is wishlist time once again, this is all Essie polishes.
 
                                              

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Essie - Dive Bar - £7.99
2. Essie - Warm & Toasty Turtleneck - £7.99
3. Essie - Parka Perfect - £7.99
4. Essie - Vested Interest - £7.99
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Essie - Dive Bar - This is such a gorgeous polish. I have never seen a polish like this before. It is a metallic green or even turns into a bluey shade.
 
2. Essie - Warm & Toasty Turtleneck - This is one of my favourite nail polishes this year. I absolutely love this, this is such an odd colour. I can't even describe what colour it is. I'm going to say it is like a lilac. I really love it and I have worn it already.

3. Essie - Parka Perfect - I have this polish and I think this would be the perfect nail polish to be wearing soon. I think this would be great for autumn/winter. I think its a blue toned grey and it is so so stunning. Who knew a grey would be so nice.
 
4. Essie - Vested Interest - This is a polish I haven't seen before. I really like this, it is quite similar to parka perfect in a weird way. It looks like it has got a drop of green. I need to get this because I just love it.

Clairestelle8 Nail Challenge | October 2016

This is an overview of my Clairestelle8 nail challenge. I absolutely loved this Halloween challenge. I am so happy that I actually completed it first of all.
               
I also branched out and chose lots of designs that I wouldn't usually do for Halloween. I cant decide what design I love and which one was my favourites. I also used all my untried nail polishes. I have to say I got so many compliments on my pumpkin nails, it makes me smile when someone says my nails look good. I am someone who doesn't think they are great at much. But that defiantly made my day.

TAG | Desert Island Polishes

I have another tag post for you today, which was created again by the fabulous Mrs Cronall on YouTube. I suggest you all go and watch her videos, click here. If you remembered she created the Breast Cancer Awareness pink tag. So here is another tag.
 
This tag is what polishes would you tag on a desert island with you. I have to say, buy this was tricky. I have decided I would just pick some favourites and colours that I loved wearing. I will go through every polish for you.

The first polish is Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch Glitter, this is actually my favourite glitter as a topper of course. I love this over any colour, I am thinking do I need a new bottle of it as I don't want to run low. The last time I wore this was for my Halloween nails, look at the
post.
 
The next polish is BarryM Guava (post here), this is one of my all time favourite nail polishes. I absolutely love it. BarryM done a great job with Gelly Hi-Shine's and I wish I could get every single one. Guava is a really pretty turquoise shade. This is perfect on long nails and maybe with some nail art.

I absolutely love this polish, this is the reason that I need so many more picture polish. This is Picture Polish Ornate (post
here). I suggest you go out and check polish out as it is so incredible. This would look great in a desert island though.
 
I have to admit the next polish would look great in the sun, wow this would be super shiny. This is Natural Collection Stardust (post here). This is such a great polish. its stunning and super cheap as well. They actually don't sell this anymore, I was planning to get a back up but I cant find it anywhere.
 
The next polish is one of my favourites, this will be great on the desert island if I am on there for months until Autumn. This is such an autumn polish. This is China Glaze Cabin Fever (post here). If you haven't picked this nail polish up, you need to. It is incredible.

I have Models Own Blue Glint (post
here). I wore this polish just as I was starting wearing my blog. I kind of wish I wasn't in the untried year so I can wear some of these beauties again.

Now this may be my favourite polish I ever own. Its super beautiful and periwinkle polish. Its Seventeen Azure Amore (post
here). This is so so beautiful. I could talk about this all day to be honest, it is stunning also super cheap.
 
The next polish is OPI I Have A Herring Problem (post here), I am covering all bases for this desert island. I have so many options. This is a greyish blue shade. Its really pretty and kind of unique to my collection just because I haven't seen a polish like this before.
 
I have another BarryM polish, BarryM Cardomom (post here). I do love green polishes and this is one of my favourites. It is gorgeous. This goes perfect for autumn in my opinion. I wish all brands had colours like this.

The last polish I have was only worn very recently and this is Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck (post
here). I was surprised how much I loved this polish, it is so pretty. I am so happy that I finally wore it because it had been a while since a polish fell into my favourites so soon.

I also am hoping that I could bring my base & top coat. The base coat I would have is Elegant Touch Nail Apothecary and top coat would be Champneys. I would also have Nivea hand cream because you always need one.

Wishlist #149

 

It is wishlist time once again. Lets see what polishes I have got here.
                                         

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Essie - Jingle Jangle - £7.99
2. Essie - Double Breasted Jacket - £7.99
3. Urban Outfitters - Holographic - ?
4. Urban Outfitters - Bonjour - ?

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Essie - Jingle Jangle -
This is a really pretty metallic. This would be perfect for Christmas. I absolutely love this and I would love it. This would be something pretty cool, I don't know if I am actually able to get this anymore as it was from a rather old collection.

2. Essie - Double Breasted Jacket - This is a really bright pink. I really need this, I mean I have so many pinks but this is good. I suppose there are too many pinks in an Essie collection. I do like this though.
 
3. Urban Outfitters - Holographic - I have never seen urban outfitters polishes before, so I pretty sure I put this in because I remember watching a vlog of Louise (Sprinkle Of Glitter) and they were buying this. I do love holographic nail polishes, it is so beautiful. I need this in my life, why can't I get this.

4. Urban Outfitters - Bonjour - This is a white crelly base polish, this has got speckles of red, blue and silvery ones I think. I really love this, I am still yet to try crelly mixtures. I will have to go and get crelly polishes because I need to get some.

This is the last of Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge.
This prompt was just Halloween, we were aloud to decide on any nail art this time. I chose Frankenvamp, this was inspired by the amazing OneToRuleThemAll. I love her she is just so so taleneted. You should defiantly go and check her blog out. I know I am not the best at nail art, but I have defiantly improved. I love this look and wish it was acceptable to wear Halloween nails all year long. I used Ciate Knee Highs, which is a beautiful blue which needed two coats. Ciate is a brand which I will try and wear lots next year, I have so many planned ideas in my head actually.

I have another prompt for the Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge. I am slowly catching up, I may actually be on time with my nails for once. How shocking is that ha-ha.
I had an idea ready for this prompt and was all ready to do it, until I saw a post on instagram and knew I needed to do it. I absolutely knew it had to be funnybones. If you aren't from the UK you may not know what funnybones is, they were an educational science TV programme and books. We always used to watch it in Science, looking back at it now that was probably the only reason why I liked science back then ha-ha. But I used AVON Grey Cement, which I really don't like. It was supposed to be a matte and it just cracked completely. I am so annoyed as I really wanted to love this polish. The nail art went really well, it looks super cute. The yellow pieces are meant to be a moon and star. I will be working on them ha-ha.

Also this is the start of my new series, I have a hashtag #hayleyscartoonnails, I'd love if you checked it out. I will be doing a post completely on it soon.

Wishlist #148

I have another wishlist for you, I cant believe we are in November already. Its super cold and I am excited for Christmas nails already are you?
                                    
Polishes Mentioned:
1. Topshop - Air Kisses - £5.00
2. Topshop - Never Been Kissed - £5.00
3. Topshop - Tropic - £5.00
4. Topshop - Birthday Suit - £5.00
 
Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Topshop - Air Kisses - I actually own this nail polish already, I think this is such a beautiful cornflower blue. I have used this before and I liked it but it chipped really easy. I need to get more Topshop nail polishes.
 
2. Topshop  Never Been Kissed - This is a gorgeous purple metallic nail polish. They have so many metallic nail polishes that they brought out recently. I wish I could find it but they seem to sell out of these.
 
3. Topshop - Tropic - Okay I cant find this nail polish anywhere. So this is so pointless to be mentioned. But I couldn't find swatches of it anywhere, I may have got the name wrong or something, It isquite weird as I'm usually quite good at nail polishes and stuff. But this time I just got it wrong.
 
4. Topshop - Birthday Suit - This is a cool toned blue/green. I'm not sure if the name of this works as I was thinking birthday suit would be better for a nude, for example a naked nail. But anyway, it is really sweet and would be great for an Easter look.

I am still slightly behind when it comes to the Halloween challenge. But I completely forgot about posting, what a bad blogger I really am.
 
The prompt for Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge was witches. This is so cool, I was inspired by someone on instagram. I actually went to a wedding this day so I kind of didn't want to go too over the top. But I really love this look. I used Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck, this may be one of my favourite nail polishes I have used this year. This is a really creamy nail polish and I used two coats. I absolutely love my little witches boots they look really cute.

Here is another prompt from Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge, I really love this one.
 
The prompt for this one was bats, I used Flash Mob Lacquer Deep Space, this is such a unique polish in my collection. I absolutely love it, its so pretty. When I applied the first coat I really didn't like it, I was like no way is this going to get fully opaque. But after three coats it did. I got this from my nan it was a three piece nail polish set, I've recently discovered that you can get these in Argos. I would suggest that you go and get them. I also think my bats are so cute, also to say that I'm so impressed with how good they look. This nail art challenge has been so good because it has really improved my free hand nail art skills.
