Pick A Polish: Zoya - Margo

Hello loves. Happy Monday!

This week for Pick A Polish I'll be showing you Zoya - Margo. This is a fairly recent addition to my stash, and I have used it a few times since I've bought it. It is a lovely autumn/winter colour so I'm going to make the most of it before before spring.

Born Pretty Store Review: Concept Eyes - Star Green Polish

Provided for review*

Hi guys. Happy Saturday! I've been trying to get myself a bit more organised for my holiday today, I don't feel very prepared at all at the moment!

I have another Born Pretty Store review for you today, this time for a polish. The polish I went for was a bright teal/green polish which you can find here (no.3 on the site). This is the first polish I have tried from Born Pretty Store so I was intrigued to see if it was any good, especially since it's so cheap. I also did some nail art, because I can't just leave a polish alone :P.

Fashion Inspired - Plunge V-Gaps.

Happy Saturday everyone. I'm still recovering from my holiday at the moment, my body clock is all out of sync!

Today I have a fairly old manicure to show you. I'm a bit behind with the blog at the moment not having done my nails in over a week, so I had to use some nails I didn't initially plan on posting for today's post.

Nail Stickrs Review and Tutorial.

Provided for review*

Hello loves. It's nearly Friday! 

Today I have a review for an exciting new brand called Nail Stickrs to show you. Nail Stickrs offer a range of nail stencils, in a number of different designs and I was really excited when I saw the lovely owner Monique was looking for people to try them. I have been sent a few different types to try, but today I am going to show you the V shaped stencils and I have also done a tutorial :).

June Tri Polish Challenge: Turquoise, Coral and Nude.

Hello my lovelies. I hope you're all well today. I am currently trying to hide from all this pollen that's making me itchy and sneezey!

I have my offering for the Tri Polish Challenge this week to show you today. I found this week quite hard, I was struggling with what to do with the colours (a problem I have been having a lot lately with TPC). But I came up with something in the end :).

Read on after the jump to see what I did.

Pick A Polish: Models Own - Duck

Hello my lovelies. I hope you are all having a wonderful bank holiday Monday. I am currently stuck at home with my bad foot, I can't drive or walk very well so I am missing out on the sun :( but on the upside I am getting lots of blog related things done. 

I have more Models Own to show you today in form of a Pick A Polish post. I have liked their last couple of collections that they've released. The polish I shall be showing you today is Models Own - Duck. 

To see this lovely polish read on after the jump.

I Love Nail Polish Swatches and Nail Art.

Hello lovelies. How are you all? I don't usually post on a Friday.. I meant to post this yesterday but I've got the flu and was in bed most of yesterday. I'm still not well but I have managed to drag myself out of bed to post this today cos I wanna share them.

Today I am going to show you the polishes I got from the I Love Nail Polish Spring Collection. I thought this collection looked amazing so I had to snap up a few when the pre order started. I managed to restrain myself and just bought two. I decided I liked the look of them together so I did some nail art too :).

Gold Chain V-Gaps

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well. I am feeling super tired today since my body didn't want to let me sleep last night, I think I will be having an early night tonight. 

I have another random manicure for you today. I felt like wearing something a bit more classy (in my opinion anyway) on my nails, I think with all the crazy Christmas nails I had been doing I needed a bit of a palette cleanser. So this is what I came up with..

Nude V-Gaps With My New Barry M's

Hi everyone, happy Halloween! 

I have been terribly boring when it comes to Halloween this year, so I am going to carry on that tradition and post something completely unrelated to Halloween. I have had some of Barry M's new releases sitting on my side for a while ready to be played with, so I decided to do something with a couple of those.

I started with an extra coat of Nail Envy to try and make my nails look a bit nicer. 

Using striping tape I taped off the triangle shape at my cuticles and painted over the rest of the nail with Barry M - Vanilla, which is one of Barry M's new matte polishes. I only needed one coat of this, very impressed!

Then using a striping brush and W7 - Black I freehanded the black lines.

Next to the black lines I added Barry M - Majesty using the same technique. This is one of their textured polishes.

I didn't use a top coat for this design, obviously as I used matte and textured polishes.

I was very happy with this design, this is the first time I have done nail art with negative space but I really like the effect and I will definitely have to try it again.

As for the Barry M products, I was also very happy with those. They are very easy to work with and I love the effects.

Have you tried any of Barry M's new releases? What did you think?

Pretty Purples

Hello, I hope everyone is having a good day. Today is my only day off this week so I have been relaxing this morning but I am viewing a flat later - very excited!

Today I have some nail art to show you. I recently bought a bottle of OPI - You're Such A Budapest and I just had to use it. I am quite pleased with how this design turned out, but I think I could have done the triangle half moons a bit neater. But I will work on that next time I do something similar.
