A - Z Of Nail Polish - Ard As Nails

The next post in my A-Z of nail polish, is the UK indie maker Ard As Nails.

 

From Left To Right: Selfie, Park Ranger, Crime Book Junkie, Evening Shimmer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Selfie Stick

I have 6 in total and I could buy so many more. As you can see there is a size difference in the bottles, they have recently changed them. They were originally doing two sizes but now they only do the 12ml bottles, which for me are personally better as I am not a fan of mini bottles. They are constantly bringing up new collections to keep up with the latest trends which I think is amazing especially for a UK Indie.

 

This is what the bottle looks like, I cannot wait to wear more of them. I have only currently worn one polish. I will be doing a indie month next month hopefully.

Currently Wearing | #146

I am a little behind with my currently wearing, I cant even work out why. As I post these I have done a lot of blue polishes. So I think when I paint my nails next I am use a different colour that isn't in the blue category.

This was March's edition of #hayleyscartoonnails. I decided I would do Toy Story Alien nails. I absolutely love toy story and its actually one of my favourite films. If you wish to leave me some suggestions of what Disney themed nails you'd like to see me do, then comment away. I used KIKO 707 Blue Mermaid, this is a stunning polish and it was two coats. I am blown away by KIKO polishes and this is lovely. I was inspired by the very talented and crazy about Disney also is @nailartbyjen over on instagram.

Wishlist #167

It is wishlist time once again and this is all BarryM. BarryM is one of my favourite brands and I still feel like I don't have enough of them. I need to get so many more.

Polishes Mentioned:
1. BarryM - Lap Of Honour - £3.99
2. BarryM - Kiss Me Quick - £3.99
3. BarryM - Fondant - £3.99
4. BarryM - Raspberry - £2.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. BarryM - Lap Of Honour - This is a beautiful polish, yet I already own this. I am so confused when it comes to this polish as the picture looks a complete different to the polish. But it is very pretty and I am yet to wear any of the speedy polishes. I am pretty sure that they are hit and miss. But I am sure I can deal with that.

2. BarryM - Kiss Me Quick - This is a light baby pink. I am not usually a fan of Barbie/baby pinks. I am a fan of this pink though. I also sung the song out loud too haha.

3. BarryM - Fondant - This is stunning, but I would love to know how similar is to prickly pear is. I need these comparisons. I may need to go and get it just to see how similar it really is. Gelly's are my favourite or all the barryms.

4. BarryM - Raspberry - This may have already been mentioned in my wishlist but I really can't remember. This just looks beautiful and I am sure I can find it on the cheap somewhere. If you love BarryM then I would suggest you check out poundland as they sometimes do them on the cheap.

A - Z Of Nail Polish | A England

This is my new series, A-Z of nail polish. I have decided it would be time to show you all of my nail polish collection. As I have so many, I have broken it up into brands. So this is where the A-Z comes in, I won't be posting regularly with that want to bore you all. But I know we all love to see what people own (yes I am that nosey!)

Here is A-England. I mean look how lonely this polish is on its own. Its Saint George. This is a stunning emerald green, this has Christmas written all over on it. I cannot wait to get this on my nails as it is absolutely stunning in the bottom. I have to admit, I have been lusting over A England polishes for a while, but am yet to pick any up. I will sure need to change that.

Do you have any A England polishes?
I would love to know which ones I need to get. Also are you ready to see my collection and which brand are you excited to see?

Season Picks | Spring 2017

I have my spring picks post for you today, I really enjoy picking out these polishes. Even though I rarely use them the ones which I have picked out.

Lets start with the trusty BarryM Prickly Pear, this is one polish you will see soon. I have something up my sleeve (not literally!) with this polish. The next polish is Polish Me Royalty Alice, a pale blue with gold running through it. It is such a unique polish that I have never seen anything like it before. I have Kiko Apple Blossom and I have worn this, it is a stunning Barbie pink. China Glaze Lemon Fizz, I am pretty sure this is quite talked about, I am not a huge yellow fan but this is so pretty. AVON Rain Washed, this is a washed out lilac in my opinion. This would look fabulous on the toes, I don't ever paint my toes because I am so lazy ha-ha. I have OPI That's Hula-rious, I love green polishes as you know and this is absolutely stunning. It looks so fresh and would great with nail art. Ard As Nails Crime Book Junkie is next which is a beautiful bright pink more like a deep plum. But you can't beat a holo can you. I have Rimmel Pear Drop which is so old but a stunning metallic green. Models Own Persian Pink, this has been on my mind ever since I got it. How have I not worn this polish yet. It is absolutely gorgeous. I haven't seen a polish like this before. The last polish is Essie Garden Variety, this is a dupe for a few polishes. But I don't mind it is stunning. I had to get a green polish in this.

Wishlist #166

I have got another wishlist for you all, hope you have had a lovely weekend! Now it is sunnier and lighter in the evenings, I will finally have pictures of my nail polish collection very soon. I am so excited to take pictures of my collection for you all.

2. Models Own - Paradise Garage - £4.99

3. Models Own - Sun Hat - £4.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?

1. Models Own - Coral Glaze - This is a beautiful coral, I have to be honest out of all the colours I own. I rarely wear coral polishes. I am not sure why because it is such a beautiful colour. I am sure in the summer I can find a way to wear this colour.

2. Models Own - Paradise Garage - I have this polish and what a surprise I am yet to wear it ha-ha. It is a gorgeous metallic green. I am sure I will eventually get round to wearing it. Maybe I should do a new series in having loads of colours and make sure I wear them.

3. Models Own - Sun Hat - This polish is the definition of a Barbie pink. I am yet to wear this one too. But I will be wearing this one in the hotter months. I cannot wait to wear it.

 

4. BarryM - Pole Position - I have this one also, I am not sure about these. I have heard they aren't they best formulas, but I am so ready to wear this one also. If you want me to pick polishes that I will try and wear, comment on this blog post. As I am sure that is a great way to make sure I use the polishes. Obviously they will be in the untried year.

 

5. BarryM - Pit Stop - I am pretty sure I have the wrong polish in the picture as that looks different to our swatches. But this is a crisp neutral polish. I actually hate nude polishes. I don't think they suit my skin tone and I am not sure how it looks on me.

Nail Care | Allergic Reaction

I have been needing these two products religiously for the last two weeks. 

At work, I currently work as a cleaner and it does play havoc with my nails. But I don't mind as long as I can have a picture for instagram haha. But that isn't what this post is about. I recently found out I have a latex allergy as my hands are so swollen from the gloves. Over 2 months ago, I had been given different gloves, which cleared it up magically. My hands had never been so soft ever (yes really soft!). But I stupidly ran out of gloves and well the allergy returned. I won't get into why I'm back wearing the gloves because I don't wish to moan about colleagues. My hands have been so dry and red. They are so cracked and actually look like scales. My skin is so sensitive at the monent,so cuticle oil and hand creams are my best friends. Hopefully my skin will be back to normal soon and my nails aren't so dry, thank you for understanding this situation.
