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. 

Currently Wearing | #336

 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. 

Currently Wearing | #335

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.

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.

Fail That Is Blogmas...

So what a failure of blogmas that was right?

Blogmas | #12 | Currently Wearing | #331

Here is another currently wearing, I think it is fair to say that this may be a fail of blogmas. I will try my hardest to get a few posts up this week. But it isn't looking the best now is it.

Here is one of my Halloween manis. This is one of my failed mains. I am really not sure what I really think about this. This is a cute pusheen nails though despite me saying this wasn't the best mani I have ever done. I used OPI Samurai Breaks A Nail. This took 3 coats and has such an amazing pink shift running through it. I am a huge fan of this absolute beauty and I got this in the mani and lola box.

Blogmas | #11 | Topic Tuesday 19 | #33 & #34

Here is another Topic Tuesday, lets see if I can get through this by the end of 2019. I have got a lot to do with blogmas as I am 6 days behind with posts. But I am going to try and get a lot of posts done at the weekend. I think its probably going to be 31 days as I really want to try and get everything posted. Then I will star again successfully posting in 2020.

The polish you've used most in your collection

These are the two polishes which I have used the most. They are BarryM Berry Ice Cream & Strawberry Ice Cream. These are probably two of my favourite nail polishes, I absolutely love both of them. I really wish BarryM when back to their old roots and bring out more nail paints because they were my favourite back in the day before I realised this was an unhealthy obsession.

Topic Tuesday 19
10th September 2019
If you had the chance, what nail brand would you collab with?

I said in my YouTube video that I would absolutely love to collaborate with a UK indie. They are always on the ball and forever doing so well when it comes to other nail polish lovers. I said Ard As Nails, Prism Polish, Dystopia and Princess Nail Lacquer. These UK ladies are forever killing it and deserve al of the love in the world.

Blogmas | #10 | Currently Wearing | #330

Here is another currently wearing!

I am wearing Ard As Nails Pumpkin Juice. This is so beautiful, I used three coats. I just loved it so much. I am happy with how beautiful this is. Orange isn't usually a colour that I wear too much, but I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it on instagram. I am obsessed with it. I also filmed a YouTube swatch video and I love it. This is the charity polish for August from Ard As Nails, it was in collaboration with Loopy Lou. I would highly recommend you go and try these as I don't know how long these are going to be available for.

Blogmas | #09 | Currently Wearing | #329

It feels like I have really failed with blogging this year. But anyway, 2020 I will be so much better at it.

 

I am wearing Primark Penny, this is so gorgeous. I love this polish so much. Primark you have done so well this year, its crazy as they deserve just so much more love than they get already. This is really amazing. I am so happy I picked his up. I used two coats with this polish. You may see this again in my 2019 favourites as this is just so beautiful. I know I am probably repeating myself again, but wow. Primark I cannot wait to see what nail polish you bring out in 2020. I am ready for you.
