I haven't posted in a long while because I have lost all motivation for this blog sadly. But I am going to be posting way more now because I am really missing this blog. 

This is BarryM Strawberry Laces. I am obsessed with this polish, I am so hoping that BarryM bring out more of these scented polishes as they are just so beautiful. This is the cutest reindeer too, sadly it smudged a little. But what can you do oops. This polish smells so god damn good and I love this so much. BarryM if you wanna listen to me, please make more of these polishes. 

Update!

I hope you are all well. 

I know the world is currently crazy right now, I do send all my love. I do hope everyone is well, the world's uncertainty is very scary and I am not sure how I feel about it all. I will be trying my hardest to get back into blogging as much as I can. I am going to be doing some posts tomorrow. I will be aiming to blog every day!

Here is my currently wearing Christmas haha! 

I am wearing Ard As Nails Merry Berry Christmas. This is such a beautiful purple and I love it so much. It did appear in my 2019 favourites. I think the Father Christmas is really cute and I am so happy with how this turned out. I love it!

Hi. 

Remember me? I haven't been posting have I even though, I said I would post everyday in March. Oops. I am sorry, I will now try my hardest and keep posting everyday. So there may be a few multiple post days. 

This is Primark Holler & Glow - Self Made. This is a gorgeous rose gold copper. It is really pretty. I really enjoyed it, despite not being my usual colour. This is from the Glam Nails Challenge Christmas nail challenge. You know I love a nail art challenge. This is a candle and for once it really does. I am just so happy with how this looks.

 Here is a currently wearing, this is from Christmas. I am sorry at how rubbish I really am at posting. But there you go, whats new. Once I have posts for everyday in March, I will be so pleased with myself. So good luck to me. 

Here is Cuccio Take Your Breath Away. This is a gorgeous taupe, this took 2/3 coats. I felt some nails didn't exactly level themselves so it needed that extra coat. But I really liked this as it isn't my usual colour. But I was such a fan of it. Also lets talk about Edgar, he was on the John Lewis Christmas advert. I am so happy with how this turned out. 

Where Have I Been?

So I have been awful at blogging this month once again. I am going to try my hardest and get on with my blogging every day in March. I hope I can keep it up, because I really don't want to give up this blog. I know I do a lot of YouTube, so I guess that is why I am probably quite rubbish when it comes to blogging. But I will try and get a post up every day until this month ends. Hope you don't mind x 

Season Picks | Valentine's Day Nails

Here is my Valentine's Day nails, I knew I had to show you these. I have filmed a YouTube video and you can see that this is on my channel and I love all these polishes. 

I have Kbshimmer Pink Tourmaline which I got in a destash and this is so gorgeous. I have Colors By Llarowe Improvisation Is A Parlor Trick, this is just so beautiful and this again was from a destash. It really is more like a deep pink but very gorgeous. I have got two Prism Polish Can't Buy Me Love, which is the most gorgeous barbie pink with some stunning shimmer running through it. I have Prism Polish Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart which is a pretty pink foil like polish. OPI Starry Eyed For Dear Daniel, I love this polish. It is the only one I have used. I sadly didn't use this as a full mani which I know I should have. I have Glam Polish We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together which is a gorgeous offish white crelly with pink flakies running through it. I have W7 Alanala and this is really beautiful. The last polish I have is Polished For Days Eventide which is an insane flakie wow.

Here is another currently wearing. We are still in the 2019 manis oops. I haven't blogged in ages, I switched laptops as my other one just refused to let the internet work. But I am fully back now, there should be posts every day this month. I promise I will get too 15+ posts every month.

Anyway here is this mani. I loved this mani, it is rare that I don't like a mani. But I am honest and do tell you (or whoever if you even read this).

Here is Ciate Fly Away and this took 2 coats. It is so gorgeous. I rarely reach for my ciate polishes which is awful because I have so many. I am desperately trying to use some of them.

Here is the full mani, I used Ciate Fly Away and OPI My Voice Is A Little Norse. I rarely use glitter toppers but I have used them now. This is just so gorgeous, I picked this up in TkMaxx and I was very happy with it. This is a gorgeous holographic glitter, I am so happy with this mani. You know when you find a pairing that works it just makes you very happy with it. 

Monthly Haul | February 2019

Here is a monthly haul from February 2019, oops. I am so sorry how behind I am. So I really didn't want to leave these posts out as I had taken the pictures already.

First of all we have Ard As Nails - Magic, Mombie and Mantis. Ted Baker Burgundy which I love the bottles. The Mani & Lola polishes for that month was Morgan Taylor Watch Your Step Sister, CND Lavender Lace, Cuccio Eve's Blush, Nails Inc Gimme A Peck. I also bought from Glam Polish which I love. I have Glam Polish Fish Are Friends, not family, Glam Polish We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Glam Polish The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers. I have LA Colors Never Ending and Seren Eden. I also went crazy with BarryM - BarryM Peachy Feels, BarryM Fuschia Kiss, BarryM Pit Stop. Then I went to beauty outlet store which is one of my favourite shops. I have BarryM Poppy, BarryM You Drive Me Navy, Sally Hansen Terra Coppa, Essie Blue-tiful Horizon. I have Avon base coats as they are my favourite. I have Sinful Colors Vibrant Vida and Sinful Colors Base coat which is my favourite base coat. 

Currently Wearing | #334

It has been a long while since i have posted anything sorry. I had to change laptops due to my other one having internet issues where it wasn't working. It was just a continuous problems. 

This is Revolution Zapp Tastic, this is the brightest polish I probably own. It is such an amazing one. It does dry quite matte and is quite a strange consistency. But I really liked this polish, I can see myself grabbing the other colours from this brand. This is the first time me trying Revolution and I know for a fact I will be going to get some more. This took 3 coats, but I felt it didn't level out. I can see alot of people moaning about that because it isn't great especially when it is a neon. This is the collaboration and I have forgotten to post the collab photo - it was for Gem's birthday and she loves a revolution neon. 

Resolutions | 2020 Nail Resolutions

Here is my 2020 nail resolutions, I was hoping to post this way sooner than I was. But obviously I forgot.

1. To use 80+ nail polishes this year.

As you all know I have the untried year going on. So I am trying my hardest to use as much polish as I want. This will be the year I can do 80 plus polishes.

2. To complete my ABC nail art challenge.

I am really happy with this challenge, so if you didn't know what is happening. I haven't really explained this. But if you follow me on instagram you would have seen it. I have already done a spoiler post. But I will make sure in the next couple of days I will post it to show you.

 

3. To upload two videos a week.

I have done that consistently as we speak. I am very happy with how this is working out. I know there will be times where I struggle to do it especially if I run out of ideas. But I know I can do it.

 

4. I would love to swatch for a brand.
I would absolutely love to do this, I know it is a strong ask but there you go. I am very happy with doing my swatching. I know I could do it, but being asked for a big brand or even a UK indie brand would be surreal. I know I shouldn't be so down about it because it could easily not happen. But there we go, never give up on my dream.

 

5. To finish my excel spreadsheet.

This is something I have been meaning to do for the longest time. I will eventually film a video when I get round to doing it so I can show you all.

 

6. To try more indie brands.

I am a mainstream girl at heart really, but this is the year I want to wear indies. I would love to do 20 I reckon as I do have so many in my collection.

 

7. To reach 100 YouTube subscribers.
As I write this I am currently on 85 subscribers. I am so happy with that but 100 would be my dream.

8. To get 900 instagram followers.

I am currently on 877 followers. So this is possible I guess. But what with instagram right now, that may be quite tricky.

 

9. To remember to use cuticle oil

I am the worst at using it, I know there are many people who remind each other on instagram. I am one of those that need reminding haha.

 

10. Remember to reply/comment on instagram

I am pretty rubbish with this, so this is why I need to do it.

Currntly Wearing | #333

Here we have is another currently wearing, lets see if I can post all of these very soon as I really don't want to be too far behind when it comes to these. But I may have to start blogging every single day at this rate to get my posts up in time. So expect many more posts in January.

This is Next Concrete Carly. I used 3 coats for this. This is such an unusual polish. At first when I swatched the first coat I really didn't like it. I wasn't too sure. But when I put on another two coats I really liked it. It looked so gorgeous. I wasn't sure why it was so watery on the first coat and looked awful. But as you can see, it has a like gritty look to it. But it isn't on the nail. I have filmed a swatch video to this polish if you wanted to go and see it. I was so intrigued and I am a fan of the next polishes also.

This was for a birthday collab for dogs. I think my dog is just so cute. Funnily enough I am not the biggest dog lover. But these are adorable!!

Currently Wearing | #332

Here is a very delayed currently wearing. This obviously should have been up last year for Halloween. But it clearly isn't. So lets see if I can post all of these currently wearing's within the year (Don't quote me on that please haha).

 

Here is Essence Roller Coaster. This is really gorgeous, I am a huge fan of this green. This nail art was quite last minute actually. I didn't have n idea at all of what nail art I wanted to do. So I found this cute one when I looked on Pinterest and found some really cool Halloween nail wheels. I am very happy with how this turned out actually. I have a really cute Maleficent and a cat which might be my favourite nail art haha. I also used purple for a dotticure and some slime which you cant really see that well.

My 2019 Nail Resolutions | Overview

Happy New Year Everyone!
We are in 2020 now and I did promise you that I would but nope that didn't happen is it. So I will try my hardest to do loads of blogging this month. I will hopefully get up 15-20 posts this month or any months. This will be something that I know I can achieve.

1. To Use 80+ nail polishes

Well I used a total of 79 polishes! Urgh that annoyed me so much.

2. To attempt to get better at stamping
Well I did one stamping nail art this year it was when I got sent a Beauty Big Bang plate which is crazy still really. I really loved the stamping plate it was cute. I think i will still try and do some stamping in 2020 but just not put it on my resolutions really.

 

3. To get my blog posts up on time
Well this was a fail wasn't it. Ooops. I tried so hard to get this posted and I think this year I will do so much better.

 

4. Complete the 31 daily challenge (weekly version)This was also a fail because there never was 31 daily challenge which is pretty annoying. But what can you do I suppose.

5. To upload as much as I can on YouTubeYes I uploaded as many videos as I can and this makes me very happy. I didn't upload every week, but I posted 73 times on YouTube in 2019.

6. To finally prism polish Yes I did! It was in my 2019 favourites so I was very happy about this brand and can see myself buying many more haha.

7. To reach 100 subscribersSadly I didn't get to 100 - I got to 79 which is still pretty mad really.

8. To remember cuticle oil

I don't think I really used much this year oops. But I know I will make sure I use it every single day because my cuticles need to be looked after especially as my hands are always in water.

9. To try and work on sponging

No I didn't do any this year. I think I will give it a miss to be honest as I am quite rubbish at doing it.

10. To swatch polishes more instead of focusing on nail art
I did a lot of nail art so I don't think I did much with this. I want to try and balance it because I want to use my polishes as much as I can. I usually do post my swatches if I am doing nail art too. I have got a lot of nail art planned for 2020 though.
