Hi Guys, Hope you all had a very happy Christmas and Santa brought you lots of lovely things - I was very luck so I obviously made the nice list! Before Christmas I managed to get my hands on 6 of the new EDK holos from Rainbow Connection and I am very excited to show you them. Now the 1st question everyone has asked about these polishes is do they stamp? Well I am very pleased to tell you that yes they do, they stamp beautifully. I have swatched each of them on black and white so you can see, but these are also gorgeous polishes themselves and you get great coverage from 1 coat (I still always recommend 2 though) Now I'm really sorry that my pictures don't show the stamping over black that well so you will just have to take my word for it! But you can see that they do stamp! This beautiful blue is Laguna  This is Medusa and it's more of a violet purple. This deeper purple is Orion Caranguejo is a teal blue colour. Helix is a stunning green

Hi Lovelies, Sorry I have been a bit MIA recently between starting a new job and Christmas prep I have been spreading myself a little thin and haven't had chance to write this post but finally here it is. The final PTR box of December and it really is another goody. This month was all about Christmas movies and lets be honest who doesn't spend most of December watching Christmas films!

LE Grace-Full For the Love of Grace Trio

Hi Ladies (and gents) Now this trio I have to show you is an extra special Limited Edition trio created by the lovey Theresa of Grace-Full nail polish. Now a little bit of Grace-Full info for you, it is an amazing Aussie Indie brand and makes some amazing holos, the formula, coverage etc is fantastic and even though I am relatively new to Grace-Full I am a huge fan and recommend to everyone. Most importantly the brand is named after Theresas daughter Grace who sadly was only in this world for 32 1/2 hours. But what an amazing tribute and it makes this brand even more special. Theresa has created this trio called For the Love of Grace in honour of her birthday and she told me she had never been able to make a polish for her before because nothing was perfect enough. But this year Theresa, her husband and son each designed and named a polish in Graces honour. To make them even more special they are LE edition and each store only got 15 numbered bottles. I didn't know this ful

November Challenge - Purple Nails for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness

Can't believe its 1st December...are your trees up yet? Throughout November to lovely ladies on Instagram Jayne - @starryeyed83 and Debbie - @ladyandthe_stamp hosted a purple challenge to raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer which I was very pleased to take part in. Both of these ladies have had someone in their lives who have been affected by this awful disease and it's so wonderful when the IG community come together to raise awareness for a cause. A few bits of info about Pancreatic Cancer before I show my manis - Despite it's high death rate and lack of improvement in chances of survival Pancreatic Cancer attracts very little funding for research compared to many other cancers. Pancreatic Cancer is difficult to diagnose and treat and is usually aggressive. Symptoms often don't show until a late stage when it is too late for surgery. This info was shared in Jayne's posts on Instagram. So the themes were - Hearts/Love, Gradient, Flowers, Wings/Feathers
