Indie Brand of the Week 6 Luna Loves...

Hi guys,

Wow what a busy week I have had but I have managed to find time to swatch and do my Indie Brand of the Week.

This week features the UK's newest 5 free, cruelty free brand Luna Loves... created by the lovely Elaine. The brand I believe is named after her cat Luna (I hope I'm right and Luna likes this post!)

Luna Loves...was only launched a couple of weeks ago and included The Australia Collection, Tokyo Collection and The Cats Duo and there are some must have holos!

I was a bit late in getting my order in so there was a lot that was sold out but I did manage to nab 2 I had my eye on.



This stunning pink is called Byron Bay Sights, its has the most gorgeous gold holo in it and it glows in UV lights. This pink is so easy to wear.
This swatch picture shows with (top pic) and without (bottom pic) flash and all pictures were taken in my light box.


Well who knew I would be getting a blue? Melborne Nights is an amazing twinkly holo blue, now I love blue polish and this one hasn't disappointed me at all it is beautiful!

These polishes applied beautifully, the formula was as good as any I have used, great coverage and fast drying. I haven't used top coat in these swatches but they still look amazing.

I think it is so important to support our homegrown Indies and with polishes like this its really hard not to, Elaine has created another must have indie brand.

If you would like to try Luna Loves... they can be purchased here - Luna Loves Shop I'm hoping there will be a restock soon as I want more!

Barry M Molten Metal Swatches

Hello Again, Today on my blog I have swatches of the 5 new Barry M Molten Metal polishes. I never tried the original 4 which were released last year but I decided I liked the look of these so would give them a try. I got them on 2 for £7 from Boots but they are also available from Superdrug (I will leave links below) Barry M are probably my favourite high street brand and I like a lot of their finishes and different effects. What I also loved about these are the big, flat brushes because I really find they help get an even coat across the nail in minimal brush strokes. As with all the Barry M polishes I have tried I couldn't find any fault with the formula - they applied like a dream, I'd forgotten just how much I like them if I'm honest - they are just as amazing as some of my favourite indie brands. So the swatches - Blue Glacier - Well you must know me and blues by now and this one has definitely got the thumbs up from me! I think the name sums it up perfect

Poundland Make Up Gallery Nail Polish

Happy Sunday Nail Lovelies. A few weeks back I was in Poundland and I thought while I was there I would grab a few polishes and bits to review, for £1 each I thought i'd have a try. I settled on 3 of the pastel creme colours, a glitter, the base/top coat and a cuticle oil so in total £6 which is less that 1 of my favourite indie polishes! I started by applying the glitter to my little and index finger - I did this over a peel off base coat because I hate glitter removal! Peel off bases are amazing invention, I am currently using the Miss Sporty one which I have found pretty good, I don't really have the same polish on for long enough to do a good wear test though! Anyway the glitter I chose was a clear/silver holo, very pretty and very sparkly and I did like how it looked over my peach acrylics. I used 3 thin coats to build up a decent coverage, it wasn't full coverage but it was enough for me. If you wanted full coverage I would build it up with a sponge. I thi

I will get on top of my blogging schedule soon...I promise!! So as a nail technician I like to use lots of different products and currently one of my most popular is Magpie Beauty glitters and dusts. These are the most amazing sparkly products that can really bling up a manicure, they are fab so today I'm going to show you how I use them with gel polish. I am going to show the application technique for glitter, dust and pigments. Here are the products I am using -  Gel Polish in Black, White and Pale Green  Magpie Products - Dust - Olive, Glitter - Eartha, Pigment - Izzy I only used my applicator and duster brush but I also have the detailer brush.
