Pick A Polish: Models Own - Flip Flop

Hello lovelies. Happy Monday! Just two more days at work til Christmas now, we're nearly there! 

I have a very unseasonal polish to show you for this week's Pick A Polish; Models Own - Flip Flop. I felt a bit odd wearing neon in December, but I always wanted to choose the polishes for these posts at random so neon it was!

52 Week Pick & Mix Challenge: 80s & Three Dark Colours

Hi loves. Happy hump day! 

I've got this week's 52 Week Challenge post for you today. I usually post these on a Thursday, but I'm juggling my schedule around a bit as I'm starting a new challenge tomorrow. Anyway, the themes this week are 80s and three dark colours. I think I have said this almost every week in this challenge... but combining the themes is so hard! I definitely do not think of dark colours when I think 80s, so it took a while to for me to think up something suitable. I'm still determined to combine the themes each week though, I am stubborn like that!

Life In Lacquers Nail Art Challenge - Dots.

Hello loves. Happy Monday, it was back to work and reality for me today :( booo! Roll on my next holiday.

Today I have the fourth theme for Life In Lacquer's Nail Art Challenge to show you, today the theme is dots. I often overlook dotticures as I like to challenge myself a bit more with my nail art a lot of the time. However you can get some really cool effects with dots so I was excited for this post.

Models Own Polish For Tans Swatches and Nail Art.

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well, one more day until the weekend! I have hurt my foot so I've been hobbling around all day, I'm looking forward to having the weekend off to rest it!

I have to be honest, I am not usually overwhelmed by Models Own collections. However when I saw their Polish For Tans collection I thought it looked awesome! So I snapped four of them up (I skipped the yellow because I'm not a neon yellow kinda gal) which I will be showing you today, along with some nail art.

Belle Glamour Swatches and Review.

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! :)

Neon Pond Manicure

Hi everyone. I hope you all have exciting weekends planned, I am still trying to rest my feet!

Today I have a 'pond manicure' to show you. I took inspiration from Chalkboard Nails' post here, but instead of flowers like hers I did my lines thinner to try and make them look like stars. According to her post this technique was originally by Olive View Fashion. I really want to try this with a dark blue jelly now, so I have ordered one just to try it out, if it comes out how I imagine it will be like stars in the night sky (hopefully lol).

If you are not already familiar with this technique you use a jelly polish (as it is sheer and you can see through the layers) and add nail art or stamping etc. after each coat of polish. So you can see the pattern at different depths through the polish. Did that make any sense? 

I used China Glaze - Shell-o and my usual unnamed Color Club white.

I really really loved how this came out, I didn't want to take it off. Like I said earlier, I will be trying this again in blue. So if it works out you will be seeing this again at some point. 

What are your thoughts? Have you tried anything similar? 

Thanks for stopping by.

China Glaze Sunsational Collection.

Hello everyone, I hope all is well.

Today I have a couple of swatches to show you of 2 of China Glazes new polishes from the Sunsational Collection. I have seen mixed reviews about this collection, but I thought I would try a couple to see for myself. I bought Sun of a Peach and Keepin' It Teal which is a neon orange creme and a teal jelly. I wasn't completely sold on these, but I will go into more detail later.

First up, Keepin' It Teal..
