Currently Wearing | #235

Here is another currently wearing, I am praying that I can get up to date for Christmas posts. So I might have to start posting more frequently.

 I am wearing Essence Mermaid of the galaxy. This is a pretty deep blue. This is absolutely beautiful. I really love the name of this one and out of space stories are super gorgeous. But I am sure that they were discontinued which is such a shame. This did cling a little to any imperefections that you have on the nails which is annoying.

Currently Wearing | #234

This has got to be one of my favourite nail arts that I have done this year! That is something big especially seeing as I have done so much nail art this year already. I am using a different size photo as I really didn't like it as it looked blurry.

I am using BarryM Laguna, this is a gorgeous polish. This is from the coconut line and I love it. This took 2 coats. This was a mani swap with the lovely Gemma, over at @_nailgems_ this was originally  inspired by @stephyclaws. I was just so obsessed with this look and daisy chains are the cutest. I am so happy that I could take part in the mani swap with Gemma. If anyone ever wants to do a mani swap I am always ready for one.

Mani & Lola | September 2018

So this post is my first ever Mani and Lola box. I have watched a lot of videos of people reviewing their boxes so I was super excited when I got a leaflet for money off with a recent nail polish direct order.
First of all, the box is amazingly packaged. I was super excited when this come because its a drawer. This will be perfect for storage.
So this was the September edit; the autumn box. I am so happy with this box, lets get into the contents.
So I cant believe that you get four nail polishes in this box.

Jessica - Cinnamon Kiss. RRP - £8.95 (
link) If this isn't autumn in a bottle I can't believe how perfect this is for this time of the year. It is gorgeous. It does show up red in the bottle, but I have swatched on a swatch wheel. It is quite a deep red, but looks black.

Zoya - Dree. RRP - £11.70 (
link) Of course this igoing to be my favourite, I love a good green. This is a deep mossy green, zoya is a brand that I haven't tried before. So I was super excited when I saw this in the box.

China Glaze - Haute & Heavy. RRP - £8.95 (
link) This is from the 2017 street regal collection. This is described as a gun metal shade, I personally wouldn't go for shades like this. But it is always great to try new polishes.

OPI - Tiramisu For Two. RRP - £14.50 (
link) Again nude polishes really aren't something I go to. But this was so buttery when I swatched this it is so beautiful. I think this would be perfect for a transitional shade in the new year maybe after so many crazy glitters.

Mavala Nail Polish Remover. RRP - £4.95 (
link) I am always after a new nail polish remover because I find the smell of some so gross. But I am glad I get to try this one and this one is especially good for deep colours.
Mavala Skin Care Gift. RRP - £4.95 (link) This is a nice little gift, I am quite surprised that they do skin products. This will help because my skin isn't that great at the moment.

Mani And Lola Nail Shaper. RRP - £3.95 This will always come in handy because you always need a good nail file. I like that it is curved.
 
Here is my swatching on my nail wheel, I will get round to actually wearing them on my nails.

I also have a YouTube video where you can see closer up bottle shots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF4ZtigAgWI

Here is another currently wearing, this is from the summer obviously. This was twin manis that i did with Zoe over at myrealnails, who is amazing!
I used Models Own - Coral Glaze. This took 2 coats and it is so beautiful. It did go quite streaky, this was probably because this was a hot day. I was inspired by 25sweetpeas, who is one of my inspirations in my nail art because she is so amazing. I think palm trees are so cute, I don't often do summery nails because I have so many polishes to wear. But this summer I decided to do more. This was also part of my recreation challenge, so that was another nail art recreated.
Thank you so much to Zoe, for doing this with me!

Topic Tuesday | #22

So here is another topic Tuesday, I really want to get on with this quickly because there is so much I have to do on my blog.
 
This was favourite bottle shape. I love the BarryM ones because they are so easy to hold for photos and they fit so well in the drawer storage unit that I have. I love them so much and forever buying most of the new polishes that they launch.

Currently Wearing | #232

Here is another currently wearing, one day I will be up to date and have a blogging schedule sorted out. But lets forget that,

This is Ard As Nails #Selfie Stick, is ths not the brightest nails ever. I was obsessed with this in the summer, if this doesn't feature in my top 18 polishes of the year I will be shocked. This took 2 coats and it is so gorgeous. I do love green polishes anyway so this was always going to be a favourite of mine. Ard As Nails are one of my favourite UK brands and I cant wait to get more of them. This is a green holographic, I really should have posted a flash photo so you could see what it looks like. I don't have many polishes like this so I always get super excited by them.

So I am slowly getting through these posts so lets see what this post is all about.
Here is Seventeen Mint Cooler, this is such a gorgeous colour. This was a part of the ISO summer collab. I know I am supposed to put the collage in it but I don't have it on my laptop. I will try and do it son. But this is a Facebook ISO (interested selling on), this is a UK group and it is so much fun. The ladies on there are all so amazing and I decided to do watermelon nails. I do love fruit and anything watermelon related. So that is why I chose to do this. I hope you like it because I love it.
Here is my collage. I hope you enjoy it!

Topic Tuesday | #21

Here is another topic Tuesday. I am going to start posting a lot more this month because I have got lots of catching up to do and want to attempt to do more. Anyway lets see if I stick to this. I apologise if I don't.
 
Well this is my latest purchases. Obviously since I bought these polishes I have bought polishes since taking this picture. But that doesn't matter does it really. Well I went to TkMaxx. It hasn't been that great, there hasn't been much polish in there other than Nails Inc. I have Essie Baguette Me Not which has been a lemming for me for ages. The next polish is Sally Hansen Heavy Metal, this looks so beautiful. I love grey polishes like this one.

Topic Tuesday | #20

So I am very behind on my topic Tuesday posts, so lets get on with it.
This is polishes I have chosen for the name, just so you know I could of chose hundred of polishes for this. But only limited it to three because we don't want to be here forever. I have Kbshimmer Cubicle Pusher, this is a beautiful neutral holographic. I found the name of this absolutely hilarious and loved it. I have OPI Uh Oh Roll Down The Window, this makes me laugh so much. It is a gross colour but I am all about the gross colours. Then the last polish is OPI Is That A Spear In Your Pocket? I am giggling just typing this one, it is so good. OPI you have some great names I swear, they always crack me up.
