BLOGMAS #14 | A-Z Challenge

This challenge has been going around for a few weeks. Seeing as I don't have a youtube account I have decided I would just show you my a-z of polishes. This is a-z the name of the polishes instead of the brand.

BLOGMAS #12 | Currently Wearing | #186

This photo is just so dark. I am a bit annoyed at this.

 

Okay, I am going to be honest. I am so disappointed in this. I used Models Own Toxic Apple, this took 3 coats and it was awful. This was so sheer, I didn't enjoy this polish at all. This must be the first Models Own polish that I haven't liked. I think I need to use a white polish underneath it. If anyone has used this, please let me know. The other polish I used is China Glaze Ghostess With The Mostess. This is such a lovely glitter and I am a huge fan of it.

BLOGMAS #11 | Favourite Glitters

This was supposed to be yesterday's post. But I am a little behind. But anyway this is my favourite glitters. I can't say I wear a lot of glitters. I think they may be quite neglected when it comes to my collection.

First one is W7 It's Christmas, this is a beautiful red, green and white bar glitter and hex glitters. This can only come out once a year so this is glitter that has been used once. Ciate Fortune Teller, this is a gorgeous holographic glitter. I used this recently when it was some mosaic nail art. I absolutely love this nail polish. I have Essie Summit Of Style, this is such a chunky gold glitter. This wasn't fully opaque on two coats, but you could sponge it on. The other glitter favourite is Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch, this has been very well used and I so regret not picking up another bottle of it.

BLOGMAS #10 | TAG You Might Be A Nail Polish Fantatic If..

I have a tag post, I have been meaning to post this for ages and have written it all out in my nail notebook but I haven't had time to actually post it.

 

1. Have you ever stopped driving because the sun just caught the sparkle of your holographic polish. What is your all time favourite holo? - I actually don't drive so I won't be pulling over anytime soon. But my favourite holographic polish is Natural Collection - Stardust. This is an absolutely beautiful silver holographic. I hope next year i will be able to get more holographic polishes next year as I don't have that many.  

 

2. You know the following terms; holo, sqouval, 3-free and blurple. What are you favourite blurple polish? - I know what all of those terms mean, but we have 5-free. I don't own any blurples or not that I can remember anyway.

3. You plan your vacation based on the brands available there. Which countries do you own (or want to own) polishes from? - I own quite a few American/Australian brands like Picture Polish. I want to try lots of brands in the USA, Sinful Colors even though I have tried them we just don't get very often. I also want to try Pure Ice and Wet N Wild.

 

4. You've slept in the parking lot of Sally Beauty because of 75% off clearance sale starts tomorrow. Where do you go for the best nail polish deals? - I would never ever stay in a parking lot just for a sale that's just stupid ha-ha. I usually go to Poundland and TkMaxx for the best deals.

 

5. You don't like the colour pink but still own 50 bottles of it. Have you ever purchased a polish/colour/finish but you had no idea why once you got it home? - No I like the colour pink. I am usually good when it comes to buying polishes. I always like them.

 

6. You've set an alarm to notify you 15 minutes before the next indie sale goes live. Which is your favourite indie brand and why? - My favourite UK indies are pretty perfect polish and ard as nails. I have never ever set an alarm though.

 

7. You've spent more money on a bottle of polish than lunch. What's the most expensive nail polish you've ever purchased and why? - I have purchased £12.00 Superchic Lacquer - Awkward Turtle. I have always wanted to try this nail polish.

 

8. You started a YT/IG channel so you can converse with others in nail speak? What's the craziest thing you've ever done in the name of getting your hands on a nail polish? - I have never done anything crazy because my life isn't really that crazy ha-ha.

 

9. You are on a first name basis with every drug store sales clerk within a 20 mile radius of your home. Which brand has your favourite bottle shape? Which is your least favourite bottle shape. - No I don't know any shop assistants names or anything. I love the china glaze bottle shapes and my least favourite is Nicole by opi.

 

10. You know the difference between cyan, cerulean and Prussian blue. What is the unusual colour/finish you own? - I probably don't know the difference between any of those blues ha-ha. The most unusual polishes I own are Polish Me Royalty and New Look Petrol.

 

11. You think the colour of your neighours new car would make a great polish. Ugly/pretty colours, yes or no? - YES YES YES. Ugly pretty colours are my absolute favourite shades. I just love them all.

 

12. You've moved to a bigger house so that there's room for your collection. How do you store and organise your collection? - I would love to move to have bigger room for my collection. I will be doing a blog post on how I store it soon.

 

13. You've planned a shopping trip with your girlfriends just so you can make sure you visit TKmaxx/Ulta/Rite Aid in that town. What's your favourite place out of town purchase? - I haven't ever bought anything out of town other than the UK. This really bugs me that we cant get all that beautiful polish.

 

14. You've sent nail mail, where is the furthest you have ever sent nail polish to? - Again I'm really boring, I haven't sent any nail mail. We actually can't send any nail polish out of the UK.

 

15. You've named a pet Zoya or Essie. What is your favourite mainstream brand? - My favourite brand is Models Own or BarryM.

 

Results!
If you said yes to at least 5 questions, you're still fairly normal. The seeds of fanaitiscim hasn't settled in yet. Oh i am disappointed I want to be crazy about nail polish.

BLOGMAS #09 | Ciate Advent Calendar

This is a lowdown on ciate's advent calendars, this calendar is last years. I decided I would do a huge post next year (I know only a few weeks left). This is showing you the calendars and what I think of them.

 

This is actually my 4th year when it comes to ciate's calendar. As you can obviously tell I love them. I know quite a few brands do nail polish calendars, but this is one of my favourites.

 

This is how the calendar is set out, it has got individual boxes. They had changed it, there was two boxes which had just doors. This is a lot better actually because the boxes don't split open as when the doors they fell apart. So this is much easier to be kept together. It also looks really sleek.

 

These are the boxes that they come in, they always have a really cute little quote on the back of the boxes. I love how they are always really well printed out. I am so happy with them.

 

This is the polish. I might do a really big blog post of all of the other polishes you get in every calendar. You get averaging 19 polishes, with some base coats or a top coat. Also you get a nail care treatment which is always very helpful. Sometimes you also get a nail file and on the 24th day you get a huge nail polish. This is so amazing, I am just so happy with all of this.

BLOGMAS #08 | Currently Wearing | #185

This was the polish that I knew I had to wear in the month of October. I am so happy I got this from Rainbow Connection.

 

I am wearing Nine Zero Jack O' Lantern Juice, this took 3 coats. I fully wanted this to be opaque. There is black shards running through this and it looks perfect for Halloween. This is my first time trying Nine Zero and I know for sure that I am going to go and buy some more because this is absolutely perfect. I am so annoyed at how dark this photo is.
