Wishlist #186

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, I haven't actually bought any nail polish. I cannot believe it!

Products Mentioned:
1. Rimmel - Bestival Blue - £2.99
2. Rimmel -  Chin Up Buttercup - £2.99
3. Rimmel - Bee A Honey - £2.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?!
1. Rimmel - Bestival Blue - This is one of my favourite polishes, I recently wore this. I fell in love with it, it is beautiful. It is such a creamy formula and I am a very very big fan. Rimmel is a brand that I feel doesn't get talked about, but I love them. I am slowly trying to get ore of mine worn.

2. Rimmel - Chin Up Buttercup - This is a pretty yellow, it is such a pretty buttercup shade (Obviously!). Yellow isn't really my thing but I love it. This would be so gorgeous with a bee theme nail art. I don't know if this is sold anymore because I searched for it and couldn't find it.

3. Rimmel - Bee A Honey - This is another yellow polish, but this one I feel leads to a mustard shade. It is amazing, this does really remind me of a honey colour. This again I am pretty sure this isn't available anymore. But this is stunning. I need to do some more bee nail art sometime. I think this polish needs to be in my collection.

The next prompt was Lemons, how adorable is this though. I am a sucker for fruit nails (don't ask!).

I used BarryM Pink Lemonade. Now this is such a beautiful delicate polish. I am not usually a fan of baby pinks like this, but this one has been my favourite so far. I was inspired by Hannah from @Hannah_nails_it over on instagram, who is an actual inspiration for me. If you don't follow her go and check this out because she is one of my favourites. Pink Lemonade took 2 coats. I am so impressed with this. I also made my nails really short because I felt you could constantly see my nail line in pictures.

I am finally getting round to my August Glam Nail Challenge posts. I knew I wouldn't be able to get them up as quickly, I seem to get slower when I know I need to get blog posts up.

The first prompt for glam nails challenge, it was shark. I used Sparitual Blend. I had never heard of this brand until I found it in TkMaxx around last year I believe. This is a stunning polish, I really liked it more than I thought I would actually. Do you ever get that, you buy a polish and think I am not going to like this. When you eventually get round to using it, it actually surprises you how much you do enjoy it. Well this was one of those moments ha-ha. This took just two coats, I probably got away with another coat actually. I think this dried textured if I remember correctly. Also this was in the #HayleysCartoonNails series, this was inspired by Bruce from finding Nemo. I found a tutorial when I was looking on Google. This was also dedicated to my best friend who is obsessed with sharks.

Wishlist #185

I have wishlist for you, I hope you are having an amazing weekend.

Polishes Mentioned:
1. Collection - Peach Blossom - £2.99
2. Rimmel - Pamper Me Pink - £2.99
3. Rimmel - Ethereal - £2.99
4. Rimmel - Berries And Cream - £2.99
5. Rimmel - Hip Hip Hooray - £2.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. Collection - Peach Blossom - This is a pretty polish. But there is no swatches of this anywhere I am pretty sure I didn't make this polish up. But this is a nice polish and this would be perfect for floral pattern on the nails.

2. Rimmel - Pamper Me Pink - This is possibly the sheerest polish I have ever seen. I am not really that keen on it now that I have seen it again on google. But I am sure there are always those polishes that you think look good then getting it home and it is good.

3. Rimmel - Ethereal - This might be a lot brighter than the previous polish. This polish always reminds me of something quite old fashioned, I have no idea why ha-ha. But this again would be great with some nail art over the top, especially something like a dotticure or loads of flowers.

4. Rimmel - Berries And Cream - Can you believe I cant think of a colour I own like this one. I need this one because it is so beautiful. I will need to pick this one up soon because I think this is perfect for autumn, this is gorgeous.

5. Rimmel - Hip Hip Hooray - This is a stunning deep purple, I know this is quite the 'dupe-able polish'. I have seen this one quite a few times, this is more of a summer shade I feel. But its pretty, anyway you don't have to be that seasonal polish kind of person.

I am not sure why this picture looks so blurry. The prompt was beach.
 
I had changed this nail look, I was going to do all of my nails to have beaches on. But I thought that would be quite tricky, so I just decided to do an accent nail. It is funny when I did these nails, it did not stop raining because that is what happens in the UK. That's summer for you. I used KIKO 482 Tangerine. This took 2 coats, this isn't a colour I would usually go for. But I am glad I picked it up.

Wishlist #184

I have another wishlist for you, I am still deciding on whether I am going to keep this wishlist going. At the moment I am just buying so much oops. I do have absolutely no shame though.

Products Mentioned:
1. OPI - My Gecko Does Tricks - ?
2. Collection - Heather - £2.99
3. Collection - Peony - £2.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. OPI - My Gecko Does Tricks - I am sure you are aware that I love green polishes. For some reason this one is missing from my collection, I think this from a pretty old collection. But this is stunning, I really need this one. I haven't listed a price for this polish because I saw it on fragrance direct and I might actually need to go get this one.

2. Collection - Heather - This is absolutely stunning, I know they don't have this anymore. But this is very pretty. I am not sure at how much it looks like a heather polish. The one I am talking about is a dusky light purple. This is stunning.

3. Collection - Peony - This is a bright pink, I think this is in between a Barbie pink to a dark pink. This is a generic pink polish, so there is probably millions of polishes that you can pick up of this polish. But I felt this one might be a bit different. Obviously this isn't available anymore.

Glam Nail Challenge | July 2017

So its now September and I am slowly getting through my glam nails challenge. So please bare with me and this is the overview of my nails.
                      
In total I used 9 nail polishes, I am so happy with how this challenge went. These are prompts I would never ever choose myself so this was a great challenge to do. My favourite ones were the octopus an mandala. I have always wanted to do watermelon nails so I was very happy when I saw that this was one of the prompts. Which nail art do you like the best?

Here is another glam nail challenges, I am slowly catching up with these posts. I will get through them and finally be caught up when it comes to the end of the month.
 
I used Max Factor Just Cheerful. My nan actually gave this to me as she doesn't wear much nail polish. I can't believe this only took 1 coat, this is crazy. I don't have many one coater nail polishes. I had painted some sunglasses on. I thought they were quite cute, I was going to do the whole nails but I actually decided that would probably take too much time and I didn't really fancy it.

Wishlist #183

Here is my wishlist, I am slacking with my wishlist at the moment. I think I might finish it at the end of the year as I don't ever look at it. I might think about it.

Products Mentioned:
1. OPI - Just Lanai-ing Around - £12.99
2. OPI - Hello Hawaii Ya? - £12.99
3. OPI - Lost My Bikini In Molokini - £12.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. OPI - Just Lanai-Ing Around - This is a stunning polish. I own this and haven't used this yet. It kind of strays into a pink toned purple. People can take this polish is different ways, I am not sure if that is how you would describe it. I think this woul be perfect for the late autumn, coming into winter polish. I don't have many polishes this shade so this is beautiful.

2. OPI - Hello Hawaii Ya? - Now I own this one too. This is a gorgeous dusky purple. Again I think this polish would be perfect for the winter months. I know this colour is probably quite similar to other colours. But I am a huge fan of this one and this is lovely.

3. OPI - Lost My Bikini In Molokini - I don't own this one. But I love the name of this one, it amuses me. This is a much darker purple compared to the hello Hawaii ya?. I am sure this is from the spring collection but this reminds me more of a winter kind of polish. I might have to try and get this one as it is really nice.

How on earth are we in September already?! But this does mean we are closer to autumn nail polishes so I am ready for that.

I am wearing Maybelline Coral Craze. The prompt for this was corals. I have to admit, I had no idea what corals was until I swatched the glam nails challenge hashtag then I found some inspiration there. I had already planned a nail art for this look and this defiantly wasn't it. But I was quite impressed with it. This polish took 1/2 coats, but other than that I was impressed. Maybelline isn't a brand that I usually gravitate too. So maybe I can try and look at a few more when I am buying nail polishes that I don't need.
