Delush Polish XO Trio Swatches (plus a little extra).

Hi lovelies. How is everyone this evening? I have my favourite dinner in the oven at the moment which I am looking forward to after this post, yum yum!

Today I have some swatches to show you of my new purchases from Delush Polish. This was my first experience with Delush, I have been trying out lots of different indie brands lately and Delush Polish is my latest one. When I saw swatches of these polishes on The Crumpet I knew I had to have them!

Copycat Saturday: Blue Floral Manicure

Hello everyone. How are you all? I'm trying to catch up on blog posts today, what with my new job and everything that I've had going on lately my nails have taken a bit of a back seat.. but I am determined to keep up with my current posting schedule!

So for this week's Copycat Saturday post I decided to recreate this design by Raggio Di Luna Nails. If you don't already follow this girl, go check her out she does some flawless nail art!

Rainbow Connection Haul

Hi loves. How are you all? I'm currently in a strop because I just got a new phone and it doesn't bloody work! What a rip off! Anyway...

Today I have another indie haul to show you, this time with purchases from Rainbow Connection since I went on a little spending spree there recently. I haven't bought much from Rainbow Connection before, but I am loving the fact that it is easier to get hold of international indies in the UK now without having to pay top dollar for shipping so I have a feeling I may be doing posts like this more often!

Hello lovelies. How are you all? I'm about to go and get ready for a night out tonight, it will be nice to let me hair down :).

I'm back with my second post for today, which are swatches of some new releases from Belle Glamour. I was contacted by Catriona recently and offered the polishes at a discount to swatch them, so of course I said yes. These were all released this morning so if you like what you see go and grab them while you can! 


There's some really cool polishes in this bunch, so I strongly recommend you carry on reading to see what they're like! :)

Copycat Saturday: Black and White Triangle Print

Hi lovelies. It's the weekend! I have just finished work so I am going to relax for the afternoon before going out for a meal this evening :).

Today I have another Copycat Saturday manicure to show you. This week I recreated this pin which was by Pshiiit but the pin doesn't refer back to the correct post. I have been going from the bottom of my inspiration board for these posts and it seems I wasn't very careful with what I was pinning when I first got pinterest.. quite a few of them don't link back to the creator properly, but I shall try my best to credit the correct people.

Inspired By A Vase.

Hello everyone. Are you all having a good day? I am having a nice relaxing day off work :).

I was recently browsing Pinterest and came across a picture of a really interesting vase. I loved the shape and design so decided to do a version of it on my nails. I thought I had pinned the picture, but clearly not and now I can't find it.. I swear I am the most forgetful person ever!

Also I had a mad moment and chopped my nails off, I'm not sure if I prefer them a bit shorter or not.

February Tri Polish Challenge: Brown, Pink and Grey.

Hello lovelies. How are you all? Another morning post from me today, it feels strange that I'm being a bit organised!

I'm back with the first instalment of the Tri Polish Challenge for February, this month the three colours are brown, pink and grey. When I first saw these I wondered whether I would be able to make them work together, they sounded like an odd combination.. but so far I think I have done okay.


The three colours I chose today are China Glaze - Ingrid, Barielle - U-Concrete-Me and OPI - Suzi's Hungary Again.

Pick A Polish: Picture Polish - Shy Violet.

Hello my loves. Happy Monday. I'm on a late shift today so I have decided to do a morning post for you, so I don't have to rush it when I get home from work.

I am back today with this week's Pick A Polish, this week I chose piCture pOlish - Shy Violet. This is a brand I love, but I only own a few polishes by them.. I think that may possibly change in the future!

Copycat Saturday: Peach Half Moons.

Hi lovelies. How are you all? I have had the longest week ever, it has gone so slow! So I am glad it's time for a rest. Also this is my 100th post, I don't believe I have posted so many already.

It's the weekend! So that means it's time for Copycat Saturday. This week I was inspired by this pin, as often is the case with pinterest it doesn't link back to the original creator.. but judging by the watermark I think they originated from this blog, however I cannot find the original post.
