February's Meebox Review - Gatsby Theme*

I was lucky enough to be sent February's Meebox for review and was really excited to get stuck into it to try all of the goodies. This month the theme was Gatsby and I don't think the Meebox team could have picked more appropriate items, they are perfect!

Pretty Perfect Polish Review

I recently decided to start buying polishes from at least one UK indie polish maker each month in an effort to support the lovely community we have, so I kicked this month off with a lovely little haul from Pretty Perfect Polish.

Me and the lovely Helen over at Hellznails were lucky enough to win the Models Own Holochrome giveaway over on Instagram last week so we thought doing a blog collaboration and some twin nails would be the best way to celebrate!

Essence Mini Haul & Review

I have been wanting to try some more Essence makeup for a while so I popped into my local Wilkos to pick up a few bits up to try. I set myself a budget of £10.00 and I'm really pleased with what I managed to get for my money.

Opulent Essences - Taste The Rainbow Collection

I've been after some neon polishes for a while now as it's something I'm lacking in my huge polish collection, so was really excited when I discovered the Taste the Rainbow collection from UK Indie brand Opulent Essences. They're super bright and really didn't disappoint.

Nail Collaboration: Part 4 - 1st Stamping Plate

It is the final week of mine and +Helen Clark's nail art collaboration and for our final prompt we decided to do a mani using our first ever stamping plates. Here is what I created using a plate from my first set of stamping plates.

Nail Collaboration: Part 3 - Inspired by Fashion

Me and +Helen Clark of Hellz Nails are on week 3 of our blog collaboration and this week we decided to do nail art inspired by an outfit...or 3 in this case! We have both worked off the same picture but we have no idea what the other is doing, so this is a really fun prompt! Here is the mani I created using one of the outfits for inspiration.


Nail Collaboration: Part 2 - Recreation

It is week 2 of mine and +Helen Clark's blog collaboration, and this week we are doing a recreation mani. We had to pick one of each other's mani's from Instagram to recreate and I was really spoiled for choice! I managed to narrow it down, so here is the mani I recreated and I hope I've done it justice.


Nail Collaboration: Part 1 - My Favourite Stamping Plate

Me and the lovely, talented Helen over at +hellz nails decided that we would do a little collaboration in February as we both want to put more effort into our blogs this year. We have picked 4 prompts to do this month, posting 1 a week, and the first week is favourite stamping plate. Here is the mani I created using my favourite plate, and there's also a tutorial to go with it. Enjoy!



HJ Manicure Polish Review*

I was lucky enough to be sent some nail polishes for review from the luxury indie brand, HJ Manicure. I had been eyeing up these polishes for a while so I was over the moon when Helen contacted me. I received a selection of 3 polishes in a gorgeous gift box and I loved every single shade. Here is what I thought of them.


Summer Nail Polishes: My Top Picks

So carrying on from my Summer Lipsticks post from last week, which you can find here, I thought that I would do a summer nail polish post too so you can really be summer ready. Here are my favourite polishes for summer and why I love them so much.

Mini Barry M Beauty Haul

Today I have a quick review for you on some gorgeous Barry M products that I picked up recently. They have a really good offer on in Superdrug at the moment, where you get a free Gelly Nail Paint when you spend over £6 on Barry M, so I thought it would be rude not to make the most of the offer. Here's what I bought with a little review of each item.

Frightfully Spectacular Review*

I was sent some lovely polishes for review from Lolly of Frightfully Spectacular and I couldn't wait to swatch them and show them to my lovely readers. Here are the gorgeous polishes that were sent to me and what I thought of them.


Shopping my Stash Part 3 - Nail Polishes

The final installment of the Shopping my Stash series is finally upon us, and I had the very difficult job of shopping my ever growing nail polish stash. I have around 400 polishes so it was really difficult for me to pick 5 out, but I'm really happy with what I chose.

Here is what I have picked and why.

April's Stamping Challenge

At the end of last year, I created a Facebook group for everyone in the UK who loves stamping as much as I do. It is a group for people to share manis, ideas and tips, and each week we run a weekly theme for everyone on the group. However; we decided it would make a nice change to have a monthly theme for April instead of the usual weekly themes, so that's how #ukstampersapril was born. The admins decided on 9 prompts between us spread out over the month, and here is how I tackled each prompt with a quick run down of what I used for each mani.


Spring Nail Polishes: My Top Picks

I know I'm a little bit late to the party in terms of choosing my top polishes for Spring, but we're technically only a month into Spring so it's all good. I decided to do this post as I've been moving more and more towards the pastel shades recently for my nails, and I'm definitely feeling the brighter colours now that the nights are lighter and the days are warmer. So here are my top 5 nail polishes for Spring.
