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!

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.  

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.

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.
