I have got my Easter nail post for you instead of my wishlist. I came home from football and just not in the mood to post my wishlist today. I have had an amazing day today and have hardly any voice due to a cough and cheering a 2-0 victory against our biggest rivals ha-ha. I should do football nails soon.

I was inspired by one of my favourite nail artists @nailsbyjema on youtube, I suggest you check her out. She is absolutely amazing. I used BarryM Prickly Pear which is a beautiful lilac and I am not sure why it has taken me so long to wear this as it is stunning. I actually made my friends chose the design I did on my nails this Easter. They all chose this one because of the carrots ha-ha. I used China Glaze White On White which is my go to white. I am so proud of how these worked out, I am so happy with them. I hope you like it too as much as I did. This is one of my absolute favourite BarryM's.

Monthly Haul | March

This was a small month of polishes. Lets get talking about all of these polishes because this is the real reason why we are here.

This is a pretty small haul (compared to April's one yes!). I have three Ard As Nails, which is a UK Indie brand. I have Evening Shimmer, a brown holo and you know I am a sucker for a boring brown nail polish. Then I have Sugar Loaf Mountain which is absolutely stunning when I put it on my swatch wheel. Then I have Selfie Stick a neon holographic green which is going to look insane in the summer. I am already planning to put this on my nails very soon. I have got Boutique Out Of The Blue, which is a brand I got from Sainsbury's. See you can always pick up nail polish in your local supermarket ha-ha. Then I have four AVON nail polishes. I can't exactly remember which one is which so I am just listing them oops. They seem to look the same in this picture. I have Stonewashed Clay, Marmalady, Smokiest Plum and Dusty Fog.

I couldn't decide what to paint this day, so I chose a pinky nude.

I am wearing Primark - Make Me Blush. This is completely different to what I usually wear, I was hoping this had more of a pinker tone to it instead of a nude feel to it. When I posted this on Instagram, someone commented saying its nice to see you wear a different colour. I wasn't sure if that meant I always wear the same kind of colours. But this took one coat! This polish was 80p or a £1, I cant really remember which one it was. I was slightly confused when I wore this polish just because it isn't a me colour. But I did really suit me and I enjoyed it in the end, so I was taken out of my comfort zone.

Wishlist #169

It is wishlist time, I am planning to do an overview at the end of 2017 for all of these polishes I have bought in a whole year. So I hope you are going to get excited for that, even if you have a long time to wait ha-ha.

Polishes Mentioned:
1. BarryM - Road Rage - £3.99
2. Miss Sporty - Beetle Wings - £1.99
3. Rimmel - Apricot Punch - £2.99
4. Miss Sporty - Aurora Borealis - £2.99

Why Do I Want These Polishes?
1. BarryM - Road Rage - This is a stunning mint/turquoise green. I am sure you all know by now I love green and this is no exception. I already own this beautiful polish. I can't wait to wear this.

2. Miss Sporty - Beetle Wings - This is a stunning polish, this could be taken for an indie polish. But no it isn't its a miss sporty polish. This is a rose gold foil, it may come across as a copper. I would love to get this, miss sporty isn't a brand I always look at. I have a few polishes from them and still don't pick them up.

3. Rimmel - Apricot Punch - I also own this, when I wore this it was a prink coral polish. I do like this one and I got it for super cheap when I bought it from Fragrance Direct.

4. Miss Sporty - Aurora Borealis - This is a stunning polish and yet again I own this. But I cannot wait to wear this, it may be perfect over black. But I think when I eventually try it will be without a base colour. It may be a bit sheer but I know it will be perfect.

I am slightly behind with these, so hopefully you don't mind it if I post them one after the other. I have also been slacking with these posts. I will try and get more regular with posting. I went back to work this week after a week off (yay for the Easter holidays!).

 

I have Essence Pretty Cool Life on my nails. Can we talk about what an amazing brand essence is. I don't see it get enough credit and what it deserves. This is a stunning green, this is really difficult for me to describe. This was a two coater for me, but I am sure if you applied it accurately and far better than I did, it would surely be a one coater. I sadly had to make my nails nubbies, you know I had am allergic reaction which caused my nails to feel dry. As I write, my hands are no better, but I am not getting into this again. I have already done a post about my allergic reaction which you can read here.

Wishlist #168

I have a BarryM wishlist for you, I have got a few of these polishes in here too. So I just thought you could enjoy this post and see my opinions on them.

 

                                            
Polishes Mentioned:

1. BarryM - Cotton - £3.99

2. BarryM - Eat My Dust - £3.99

3. BarryM - Stop The Clock - £3.99

4. BarryM - Full Throttle - £3.99

5. BarryM - In A Heart Beat - £3.99

 

Why Do I Want These Polishes?

1. BarryM - Cotton - I already own this, this is one the white gelly that BarryM do. I feel like I was going to really like this, but I sadly didn't. I found it a pretty dodgy formula. But I did like it, just not as much as I thought I would.

 

2. BarryM - Eat My Dust - This is a cornflower powder blue. I absolutely love colours like this and yes of course I own this one. I am yet to wear it, but I really do like this and can't wait to get it on my nails.

 

3. BarryM - Stop The Clock - This is a pastel yellow, that has a few drops of white in. It could lean towards a yellow pastel shade. I am not used to colours like this, it might not be the greatest on my nails. But this may be perfect for nail art though, so on that purpose I think I might have to pick it up.

 

4. BarryM - Full Throttle - I have this polish, it is a deep orange. I do like this polish though, I am a fan of it and it would be perfect for summer. This may be on my nails sooner than later actually.

 

5. BarryM - In A Heart Beat - Why on earth do I not have this polish? This is absolutely stunning, I cannot believe how pretty this colour is. I need to get this, I hope the formula of it is good. I do need this one.

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.
