I feel like I am so behind with these posts, but in reality I am really not. I hope you enjoy this one.

 

This nail art was for the last ever game at White Hart Lane, if you didn't know I am such a big fan of football. If I am not painting my nails or doing something nail related, I am usually watching football haha. I am wearing BarryM Blue Grape. I am a big fan of the colour, the polish was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish BarryM would bring out more gelly's because I need more of them in my collection. I am so happy with how my nail art went, the football went so well. I would love to know what you think of this as football is a very big passion of mine.

Wishlist #172

It is wishlist time again, hope you are all good! The weather has been lovely all week but today its been raining. I suppose that is all the summer we are having this year guys.

 

Polishes Mentioned:

1. Miss Sporty - Teal The End - £1.99

2. Miss Sporty - Button Rose - £1.99

3. China Glaze - Suns Up Tops Down - £4.99

4.  China Glaze - Trip Of A Lime Time - £4.99

 

Why Do I Want These Polishes?

1. Miss Sporty - Teal The End - This is absolutely stunning, I am awful wth greens as you all know. I have so many greens yet want s many more. This is beautiful and would look gorgeous with a sun tan.

 

2. Miss Sporty - Button Rose - First of all how adorable is that name, it is so cute. It does look like a little rabbit's nose. I think it is so cute. I have loads of pink polishes yet I don't have anything like that polish. It is strange how that works out, I have so many polishes.

 

3. China Glaze - Suns Up Tops Down - This polish is from the road trip collection, yes the infamous very bad collection. I think that was after I started getting into polishes. I may regret this polish, I am sure this is the polish that people didn't like. China Glaze didn't have the best of times with this collection.

 

4. China Glaze - Trip Of A Lime Time - This polish seems a lot better than the other ones in the collection. I really love this colour, as a fan of green it does look a bit like Westside Warrior which I still need to pick it up.

Polish Of The Month | April

I have decided that I needed a bit more variety on my blog, I don't have enough favourites in a month. So this is why I decided to do polish of the month posts. This will include my favourite nail art of the month and the polish I loved the most. So lets get looking!

 

POLISH OF THE MONTH!
My polish of the month in the month of April was OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian. This was such a smooth formula, it was a two coater. But it could have possibly been a one coater. It is absolutely stunning and I love it so much. I haven't got a lot of OPI pinks, I actually think this is my first one.

 

NAIL ART OF THE MONTH!

This was my nail art of the month, I was so proud with how this turned out. I followed a tutorial and instantly fell in love with it, I just needed to try it. I love the mini carrots, aren't they adorable. I have to admit I loved this nail art. I hope you all liked it as much as I did. I used BarryM Prickly Pear too, that is one of my favourite nail polishes too.

I have a UK indie for you today. Lets see what I thought of this polish.

I am wearing Polish Me Royalty - Alice. This is actually the second polish I have worn this year called Alice. How random, this was inspired from the Alice through the looking glass collection. This is a very unique polish, it is a light blue polish with gold flecks running through it. It looks incredible, I did two coats but looking at the pictures maybe I should have had another coat. But this is one of my favourite polishes of 2017 already. We are in May that is how much I loved this polish.

Wishlist #171

This was supposed to be the wishlist from last week but I come home so late from football but I was so tired and couldn't be bothered. Again this is a miss sporty one.

 

 

                                        

 

Polishes Mentioned:

1. Miss Sporty - Dream Come Blue - £1.99

2. Miss Sporty - Big Burgundy - £1.99

3. Miss Sporty - Pink Bloom - £1.99

4. Miss Sporty - Rosy Galaxy - £1.99

 

Why Do I Want These Polishes?

1. Miss Sporty - Dream Come Blue - This took me forever to find this polish online because I couldn't actually read my own handwriting. This is an absolute stunning polish, a blue holographic. I need this polish because I don't have any blue polishes like this.

 

2. Miss Sporty - Big Burgundy - This is the perfect winter/autumn polish, it is stunning. I really like it and it looks perfect. I probably have loads of polishes that are this shade, but we all have to have dupes of polishes right ha-ha.

 

3. Miss Sporty - Pink Bloom - I am pretty sure this is a textured polish, from the swatch photos I have seen it looks like a textured one. I really love this, I am not a huge fan of texture but we can all get over that right.

 

4. Miss Sporty - Rosy Galaxy - I am not 100 perfect sure about this polish as it looks really light. Will it be fully opaque that is the question, I am not keen on light shades. But that can always change can't it. I do love the name of it though.

The Untried Year | When Did It Start?

I was looking through all my paperwork (yes I am that crazy nail lady that physically has to write everything done. I have a nail folder ha-ha). I realised I never actually told you when I started the Untried Year.

When Did It Start?
Well I started it in 2015, it was late in August when I actually had no nail polish on and I decided I would start to use all of my untried nail polishes. I have so many and obviously that is going to keep growing and growing, when such beautiful polishes keep coming out and just tempting us. I also found when I was writing my currently wearing I seemed to have the same polishes had been used. This is why the untried year happened.

All About The Untried Year
I was asked on Instagram as I posted something on my Instagram stories, have you used all of that in one year. The answer is no obviously, I wish I painted my nails that often. I only paint my nails once a week, but the last few months I have been painting them a lot more often. I don't do swatches because I feel if I wore a polish for say less than an hour, I would feel that I had an accurate opinion on the polish, say the colour or the formula.

I would love to be able to do swatches and get them out and tell you my opinion on a whole collection. But I don't have the best camera and I don't feel that is something for me. Seeing as there is so many amazing swatchers out there on blogs, instagram and YouTube. All you need to do is find a polish you want and literally just search it because you know someone has posted something about it already. That is the magic of the nail polish community!
Will I be carrying it on?
Yes yes yes. I will and I will keep on going forever, maybe sometimes I will start to wear the polishes over again if I fancy too. I want to keep using more polishes as in the year 2016 I used a total of 65 polishes, this year I want to try and reach 70 polishes used in 2017. This will be my aim.

If you have any questions on the untried year, I would love to do another post on it. I have got a few ideas in mind when this year has finished. I realise this year is going super quick and you have to be pretty prepared haha. But honestly, I do have a few posts ready for this.

I have got April's Disney nails. I completely forgot to do them in April so this is why I actually started them in the start of May.

I am wearing Claire's Skater. I am going to be honest, I am really not sure about this polish. I found it really odd. It was like a jelly consistency. I was hoping it would be a two coater, but in the end it was a three coater. It was quite a squishy polish which ended up me being able to see my nail line which is a no-go for me. I followed a tutorial on instagram and I ended up with tigger nails. I messed up the top bit but it doesn't look too bad. I am so happy with how cute tigger turned out, keep looking out for my Disney nails as I have a lot of things stored up to do.
