BLOGMAS 18 | #31 | Happy New Year!

I haven't got an actual blog post for you all, but it is just a post wishing you all the best for 2019. Its funny because I have seen so many highlights on instagram of everyone's 2018. I can't really say if much happened. I don't think I achieved much that's for sure. But I had a great year, unfortunately I did lose my cat at the start of 2018. That is one downside to 2018.

But 2019 will be a great year for us all. I hope you all have a fantastic year. I will try and be better at blogging this year. Thank you for whoever is reading this for being supportive. I wish you all the best for 2019.

Love Hayley

Here is another currently wearing, this is Gingerbread nails. Please excuse my foot and the awful photo. This is what happens when you do a nail challenge and basically forget to take the pictures.
This is Essie Masterplan, this was possibly one of my favourite essie's I have worn this year. I am so impressed with my gingerbread too. It looks so cute. I am not the best at faces, but with this one I worked out really well. Don't you just love it when something works out well for once.

BLOGMAS 18 | #29 | Topic Tuesday #37

Here is another topic Tuesday.
 

This is a polish that reminds you of something. I chose BarryM Berry Ice Cream, this is one of my favourite BarryM's of all time. It is such a gorgeous colour, I absolutely love it. I wore this at my Great Nan's funeral, it was one of her favourite colours. She had a lovely lilac blouse so this always reminds me of her. It is just perfect. Sadly she passed away a few years ago on my birthday, so she is never far from our mind. Its always sad when family members pass away near people's birthdays.

BLOGMAS 18 | #28 | Topic Tuesday #36

Here is another Topic Tuesday, I have decided to keep this one short but sweet. This was your favourite colour combos. I don't actually use any colour combinations. But I did look at peoples answers and they were pretty good.

I will attempt to use some cool colours together. I really should try and use as many untried polishes as I could. I will be trying to use some of these next year in 2019. I promise I will be keeping you updated.

BLOGMAS 18 | #27 | Currently Wearing #264

So here we are on the 27th December and I am still blogging. I want to try and get everything posted before the new year. I am not too sure that this will actual happen but I might just have to post in the whole of January again.
 
Here is another post from Glam Nail Challenge. I am wearing BarryM Can't Get My You Out Of My Red. This is from the sunset collection, was this even from the main collection. I really don't remember seeing it. I hate red nail polish usually, but I was a fan of this one. I know it is Christmas so that is why it is acceptable for me to wear this polish. I was inspired by Nails By Cambria over on instagram. So this is Mr & Mrs Claus. I am super proud of how this turned out actually. This will appear on my 2018 nail art favourites.

BLOGMAS 18 | #26 | Currently Wearing #263

Here is my first Christmas nail art, I am so happy with this one. I am currently doing this with glam nail challenge. I love doing challenges because it gives me so many different options of nail art.
 
Here we are this is Ard As Nails First Frost. This is absolutely beautiful, I got this in the Christmas collection last year and I am so pleased I got these. It is a gorgeous blue holographic. This is up there with my favourites of 2018 which you will see in January. I used MoYou Festive 03 plate and I also have a snowflake sticker on. These latest quite well because I expected this to have fallen off at work. This was a one coater, can you believe it. I am just so happy with this polish and look. I can't wait for you too post the rest of the Christmas nails.

BLOGMAS 18 | #25 | My Year Of 2018

So here we are, its Christmas Day. This year has gone super quick. I just felt like I wanted to write about how my year has gone in nails.


I have been so proud of how my nail art has gone. I have done so much of it and I am just so happy with how I have done it. The picture above was one of my nail arts that I was so proud of actually. I love it so much. This won't be much of a breakdown of my year because I want to do all of my untried year in a huge picture.

I know not a lot of people read a lot of my blog but I am just so proud of hitting 11 thousand views on here. I am so proud of it. It is crazy how one thing can make you post so much. I really enjoy posting, so I am very happy with how far this blog has come. This will actually be my 6th full year on my blog. I started in November 2013 and never looked back.

BLOGMAS 18 | #24 | Mani & Lola Decemeber 2018

As I am writing this it is Christmas Eve, I hope you are all having a lovely day. Thank you for joining me in blogmas, I am extending this because I am still quite behind on posts. I want to get all Christmas nail art posts up before the year ends.
Here is a little sneak peek, of what we got. I will show you with close ups and you can see what goodies we got this month.
 

Chian Glaze - Merry Whatever. RRP - £8.95 (link) This is from the Grinch collection, this is an absolutely gorgeous glitter. I can see why they put this in this. This will be great as a full accent nail or just a full manicure.
 
Jessica - Bohemian Rhapsody. RRP - £11.00 (link) This is a deep navy blue. I love these colour, this would look perfect with a silver glitter over the top of it. It looks absolutely fantastic, I don't have many colours like this. But I will now need to go and look for more of these shades.
 
Zoya - Alegra. RRP - £11.70 (link) This is described as a raspberry red. When I swatched this on the nail wheel it look like a pink polish. I am getting a real collection now of zoya polishes and they look so beautiful. I can't wait to get this on my nails.

Mavala - Pure Ice Diamond. RRP - £12.95 This is my first ever Mavala polish. I don't ever go for these polishes because I just find them way too small. I know I will never use my polishes up but I just have this fear. This was in a bauble, but it actually arrived with a crack in so I am unsure if I will use this. I already have a bauble with a polish in on my tree right now.
 
Inc. Redbole - Be Shore To Shine Mask. RRP - £10.95 (link) I find a face mask in a nail box. But I did mention that I wanted a face mask because I rarely do them. This time of the year my skin probably needs it.

Essie - Gone As Gone Remover. RRP - £4.99 (link) This is a small bottle of nail polish remover. Us nail addicts probably go through nail polish remover more than most people. But this is apparently takes off real deep shades easier. Which is a great idea, I can't wait to test this out for you.
Here are the swatches, no idea why the navy looks such a bad swatch. But I can't wait to get these on my nails!

BLOGMAS 18 | #23 | Currently Wearing #262

Here is a currently wearing which again is another birthday collab. This birthday was for December. But I had a whole glam nail challenge to do. So I had to get this done quite early.
Here is my birthday collab for Amy (nails.by.amyx)
I am using Sinful Colors Karma, this is from the Kylie Jenner collection. This was probably the last time we actually got Sinful Colors in the UK. I miss those times. This polish is absolutely beautiful. It is a Demi Matte polish, I am awful at descriptions so it was a good job that this polish had it on the lid. This is a polish I never expected to love so much but I am putting this in the 2018 favourites. Me and matte nail polishes don't get on, but this one is up there with the best I have ever used. I also love what I did on my nails. The prompt for this collab was pink and holographic.

 

Here is the birthday collab with lots of amazing people in this. I have to say the people in the nail community are one of my favourite sets of people. I really have made some amazing friends on there.

Saturday 22 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #22 | Currently Wearing #261

Here is another currently wearing, lets see what the polish is.

This is Essie Wicked, this was another colour of the month. I am quite annoyed because I really wanted to do all 12 but I couldn't pick up two of them. But I am sure I will try and pick up the December's colour of the month in the new year. This isn't a colour I would ever gravitate towards, this is very dark for me. It is quite a vampy polish. I did find it quite hard to use because this bottle hand the small brush which wasn't great too use.

Friday 21 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #21 | Topic Tuesday #35

Here is another Topic Tuesday.
 
 
This is 'how do I rotate in a large collection?' Can I firstly apologise for how messy my bedroom is in these pictures. Its Christmas so there is presents basically in them bags haha. I have something with is the untried year. I have had this since September 2015. I haven't used any polishes that I have worn before. These are all polishes that I haven't worn yet. In this time I have used over 200 polishes and it is going pretty well. I am sure I will eventually stop but I want to get to 300 before I use a polish I have used. But that is how much I rotate my large collection of over 1300+ polishes.

Thursday 20 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #20 | Topic Tuesday #34

So this one was the top 5 polishes for fall.
 
I know we are going into winter so I am just so behind with this. I will finish this I promise. I am not ready for just finish this without finishing topic Tuesday. I have OPI I'm Soo Swamped, this is such a beautiful colour. It has been wanting to wear this for so long and I will get round to wearing it. Models Own Green Flash, this is such a gorgeous polish. I cannot deal with how amazing this polish is, I found this in Poundland. This is BarryM Mustard, I am obsessed with this colour. I am yet to wear it and I can't believe why it has taken so long. I have Maybelline Brick Shimmer, this is one of my favourite polishes. I haven't worn this in so long. It is very beautiful. The last polish is Nailed London Citron-Ella, this is an unusal colour for me. I rarely wear yellow polishes. But I really like the look of this one.

Wednesday 19 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #19 | Currently Wearing | #260

Here is another currently wearing, this one was a birthday collab.
 
So this is a recreation for jaffacakefreak's birthday collaboration. I used Models Own Peach Melba, this took two coats. It is a scented polish and is up there with one of the great polishes I have used this year. I have to be honest, this was probably the most difficult nail art design I have done in a very long time. It was very fiddly, but I could have easily given up. I am very proud with how this went, I did mess up a little.
 
Here is the birthday collab and I am very happy with how this looks!

BLOGMAS 18 | 18 | Topic Tuesday #33

So here is a Topic Tuesday that was supposed to be up yesterday, well I couldn't be bothered to do it.
This was 'top 3 finishes and favourite from each' I found this quite difficult if I am going to be honest because I never know anything about finishes. But I just chose a few of my favourites.

Creams
I have three favourite crème polishes. I am a sucker for a cream, I have to say most of my collection is crème polishes. I have BarryM Strawberry Ice Cream and Berry Ice Cream. If you asked me what my all time BarryM polishes were these two would defiantly be included in that list. I know they don't do nail paints anymore. But that actually needs to change because I love them. I have Models Own Flip Flop, this is one of my all time Models Own polishes. This is probably classes as a neon but it is a cream polish still right.

Gel Formulas
These aren't neseciarly gel polishes. But they are all from the BarryM Gelly Hi Shine collection. I have Sky(actually can't remember the name of this) Prickly Pear, Cardamom. I love gelly hi shine polishes they are just so fantastic. Everything about them are so amazing. They always look so perfect, I might do a huge post on them when I have used more that is.

Random Category
Now this is just the random glitter category. I don't know what you would call these polishes, so lets call this the glitter polishes. I have Princess Nail Lacquer Nail You See, this is absolutely beautiful. I can't cope with how gorgeous this is. I have OPI Starry Eyed For Dear Daniel. You know when you have a polish that you just love and wish you wore as a full manicure. That was one of those polishes. The last one is Seventeen Melon Ball, this was one of my favourite polishes this year. I love this so much. It is gorgeous, I am teasing you because this is currently unavailable because seventeen no longer exist.

Here is another currently wearing, November was the craziest month for birthday collabs. So you will be seeing lots of collabs, I swear everyone I talk to had birthdays in November.  This is annoying, it should have been before the Sally Hansen post. Ahh I had so many drafts and this was forgotten about.
 
I hosted Zoe (myrealnails) birthday collab on November. I was so nervous to do this because this was the first collab I had ever ever hosted. But you know what I actually love it. I was so proud of how well it went. I might be doing a few more collabs next year, I would love to do an awareness collab for charity. I used Seventeen Summer Sling, this is absolutely gorgeous. You can't actually get this anymore because Seventeen is no longer a brand. I have an accent bow and balloons, with some stars. I also stamped using Bundle Monster + amyytran - BM-XL219. I am so happy with how the stamping turned out of the adorable cupcakes.
 
Thank you to all the amazing girls who was involved in the collab with me. I am so grateful for all the help because it was so great to see all your beautiful manis!

BLOGMAS 18 | #13 | Autumn Horoscope Picks

So this post is Autumn horoscope picks, basically nail polish direct emailed me and it was horoscope nail polish picks. I just thought this was a great idea and I will be doing this every time they do this. Also my colours might be a little off because I am the worst at colour descriptions.

Libra - This choice was a deep purple shade, it is so gorgeous one. I am not sure if this is classed as a burgundy or just a purple. This one was Orly The Antidote, this was in one of the mani and lola boxes.

Leo - This is classed as the deep and sultry polish, I picked Jessica Cinnamon Kiss. This is not my type of polish ever, I don't do red. I probably don't do sultry either, but there is something about this polish I really like and can't wait to get this on my nails.

Aries - So here is the statement blue, this is a blue that is often talked about. I absolutely love this and cannot wait to wear this one. Now to me statement polishes are just so bright and look incredible. This is Sinful Colors Endless Blue, sorry because this is super hard to find.

Aquarius - Here is my star sign, this is neutral cool. I am not entirely sure if this is neutral toned. But to me this is a neutral polish. I chose Topshop Geography Teacher, the name of this is just the best and the main reason why I picked this up.

Virgo - Now red polishes isn't something I like at all. I don't have too many so you have seen this many of times. I think I will picking up more reds. So I chose Rimmel Double Decker Red.

Gemini - This is a pink polish, I probably chose the pink that leans more coral than actually pink. I chose Essie Let It Glow, this is such a beautiful polish. I cannot wait to get this on my nails because I have never seen something so beautiful.

Sagittarius - Here is the orange polish, again this might be more of a coral one. But I really like this one, this again is from another mani and lola box. It is Morgan Taylor Sweet Escape.

Cancer - Here is a cool blue polish, now this leans to a lilac shade. I actually have two bottles because I stupidly picked up one by accident. This is Essence Rockablue. This is a really pretty polish and I cannot wait to get this on my nails.

Scorpio - This is a pastel pink pick, I chose BarryM Strawberries and Cream. I haven't worn this yet but wow this is absolutely gorgeous. This is going to be one of those transition colours when you wear crazy colours in Halloween or Christmas. This would be so perfect for the new year too.

Capricorn - This one might be my favourite polish out of them all, it is a khaki green. I chose China Glaze Central Parka. I love this polish and yes I haven't worn it yet. But it looks so gorgeous whenever I have seen swatches.

Pisces - Now this might be not a dusky mauve but I have used it anyway. So this is Models Own Purple Glare, I have used this one before and it is a gorgeous polish. I promise one day I will learn all of the colours.
 
Taurus - Now again I have no idea if this is classed as a metallic polish. It is Sinful Colours Konstellation. But this is so gorgeous and probably don't have many colours like this.

Wednesday 12 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #12 | Currently Wearing | #257

I am getting my currently wearings slowly posted.

Here is another birthday coollab, I am so happy with how this turned out. I used Sally Hansen Crème De La Crème, this took 3 coats. This is a gorgeous polish, I am not usually that into off whites because I just hate the way they look on my nails. But luckily this was covered up with free hand roses. I was very pleased with how these come out. I do struggle with free hand flowers but I am just so happy with how it looks.
 
Here is the amazing birthday collab which was for @ohsoprettypolish aka Samantha. We all got together and recreated some of her amazing designs!

BLOGMAS 18 | #11 | Topic Tuesday #32

Here is another Topic Tuesday, this is repost my first instagram post.
 

Here I am just showing you my nail posts. This was the first time I had really started my nail account so I am pretty impressed. My instagram has got my better now, this was just a post showing you my nails. It wasn't as if my nails were bad. At least it wasn't nail art because I would be pretty embarrassed by that.

Monday 10 December 2018

BLOGMAS | #10 | Currently Wearing | #256

Here is another birthday collab, this month was crazy for them. You might get bored of seeing me write that but I am not bothered. So lets get going because this is a great post.
 
So this wasn't a birthday collab, it was a collab for Nails by Kt (Katie), she was moving to Finland and then she was heading to working in a ski resort for skiing. I am wearing Kiko Light Navy Blue and Ciate Locket as the accent nail. I also used MoYou Festive 03 plate. This is so gorgeous, I also attempted a skier on the runway. That didn't go as well as I wanted but practice makes perfect doesn't it. I am very impressed with how well this looked. The ciate polish is absolutely beautiful! I will be making sure I use that again.
Here is the blue/Finland themed collab!

Sunday 9 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #09 | Glitter Toppers

In this post I am showing you a few of my glitter topper picks. I have to say I have a lot of glitters but I rarely pick them oit of my collection. So I will be starting to use a lot more glitters next year.
I have China Glaze Fairy Dust and China Glaze Golden Enchantment; these two are the sisters of each others. They are absolutely gorgeous, I have yet to use them. But they look so gorgeous, you don't really see the gold one as often but I am sure it is loved somewhere. Then I have Cuccio Mimes and Musicians, this is an absolute beauty of a polish. This will look amazing sponged on. I have 4 BarryMs also, they are my favourite ever brand. I have two recent limited edition polishes, BarryM Fairy Lights and After Party, they are two different polishes. I imagine one would be perfect for Christmas and the purple one would be great for summer time. BarryM Jingle Bells, obviously by the name it is perfect for Christmas. Then the last one is BarryM Majestic Sparkle which I only bought recently and it is a gorgeous glitter.

BLOGMAS 18 | #07 | Currently Wearing | #255

So here is another currently wearing.

I am wearing Ard As Nails Sparklers, this is absolutely beautiful isn't it. I am in love with this so much, it is such an unusual colour. I used two coats on this. When I wore this it was bonfire night so I knew that this was the perfect polish for this occasion. I am just so happy that I bought this because it is isn't usually my colour palette but I am in love. I think that is one of the most amaing things about nail polish is that you can go out of your comfort zone. Also Ard As Nails are just so amazing and I can't fault them.

BLOGMAS 18 | #06 | Currently Wearing #254

So here is my last Halloween mani for the year. I know I am so behind with this, but Halloween is honestly my favourite. I promise you guys, next year my blogging will be so much better.

Here is Models Own Tropical Green, this is absolutely gorgeous. I was inspired by nailartby_gracie. I absolytely love this design, it may have taken so long to do. But I am so proud that this actually looks so good. I really wanted to do a scary eye because it looked so cool when I have seen it done before. I did Mr & Mrs Frankenstein. This took 2 coats also.  

Tuesday 4 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #04 | Topic Tuesday #30

Here is another Topic Tuesday, I was secretly hoping I would be able to get all of these posts completed in 2018. But unfortunately I am way too behind, so this won't be happening ahh.
This is favourite base and top coats. Now the base coat is Avon 7-1 nail treatment, I do have a few of these but I am pretty sure they don't sell this in the catalogue anymore which is annoying if so. I do have one from Elegant Touch which I might go and get out again because I do have one on the go that I haven't used in so long. I find top coats just so tricky, I have tried Seche Vite, I was disappointed by how clumpy it was. But I am currently using BarryM plumpy top coat which I am enjoying it.

Monday 3 December 2018

BLOGMAS 18 | #03 | Mani & Lola November 2018

So here is November's Mani and Lola box. This was a special box because it was their first year anniversary box.

Here is a little sneak peek before head to have a look at all the polishes.
 
So here we have 5 beauties because it was their anniversary. I have to say out of these 5 I would probably gravitate to the purple and the metallic shade. So I am getting out of my comfort one with this box. I am yet to use a polish from a Mani and Lola box but I will get around to. That is one thing with having so many nail polishes.
 
Zoya - Codie. RRP - £11.70 (link) This is a glossy brown. Now if you have been following me for a while, I absolutely love brown nail polishes. But when I swatched this on the nail wheel it was very streaky. I think this might be a three coater. My zoya collection is building up slowly.

Orly - Feeling Free. RRP - £12.00 (
link) This is a gorgeous purple. I have seen some beautiful swatches of this and I cant wait until I can get this on my nails as it is so pretty.

OPI - Berlin There Done That. RRP -£14.50 (link) This is a taupe/nude. I like this polish but I don't think I would reach for it as often. I think this would be a great mannequin hand nail look. But I will use it maybe for a dotticure or something cute.
 
Cuccio - Chakra. RRP - £6.95 (link) This is such a rich red, I don't use reds at all. I disike wearing them, but this is beautiful when I swatched it. I will be getting some wear out of this over the Christmas period. I actually feel myself changing to red when I see this polish.

Artistic Colour Revolution - Heart Of Chrome. RRP - £9.95 (link) This is a silver that looks perfect for this time of the year. I don't ever know what nail polish terminology to say, but isn't this so pretty.




Now you are probably thinking, why do you have sponges well. These are Spongelle Mani Pedi Treatment - RRP £13.95 These are some nail and feet treatment, you get 14 washes out of these. I am not sure if I would personally pay £14 for some sponges. But it was a nice little treat in this month. I am sure this will come in handy if I feel like I need it.
