*PR Sample* Hi Everyone, I can't believe it's been a month since I last blogged...I have been focussing on my youtube channel a lot recently but thought it was time I wrote another post. I was very honoured to be chosen by Effiena of Vegan Beauty Cosmetics to swatch her new polish collection - Galaxy Like Glitter. This collection is made up of 4 polishes that can be built up to full coverage or can be used as a topper over a base colour which can again be built up to your preference. I have swatched these over black and then each one over another colour. All my pictures show 1 coat of the base colour, 2 coats of the glitter and top coat. I will give all my opinions of these polishes at the end. Purple Haze - this is an Indigo/Blue/Fuchsia glitter with a touch of gold - in these pictures the blue comes out more but there is definitely a purple tone in other lights.  Here I have swatched over a dusky purple colour. Golden Earth - a Gr...

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...

Hi everyone, So the lovely people at The Edge Nails sent me some of their gel polish range to review. These are a solvent free 100% pure gel so great for the natural nail. They retail at £8.95 +VAT I got sent a base and top coat plus 2 surprise colours. As with all gel polishes you need to prep the nails before you start - remove all traces of polish push back cuticles and make sure the nail is clean of excess skin then dehydrate the nail using acetone or a gel wipe off - this is an important step to ensure your nail is free of any oils which can affect the longevity of your manicure. Now you can apply a thin coat of base coat and cure for 2 mins in a UV lamp or 1 min in a LED (I have acrylic overlays so don't need a base coat but I desperately need to do my infills so did use the base to protect the nail at the cuticle) I then applied 2 thin coats of colour curing each layer for 1 min in my LED lamp (2 in UV) and finally topped with the topcat and cured (1 min LE...

Hi Nail Buddies, Hope you are all having a good week. I have some swatches for you tonight from a brand that is relatively new to me! I actually cant believe I am so late to the party with this brand because there are some stunning polishes. Femme Fatale is a 3 free Australian indie brand and one thing I have noticed is they make some beautiful thermal polishes. I have 4 polishes to show you and they are all Rainbow Connection exclusives - 2 have been released quite recently and the other 2 were from earlier this year. First up is Wine and Dandy -  http://rainbow-connection.co.uk/collections/femme-fatale-cosmetics/products/wine-and-dandy-store-exclusive This is a deep aubergine purple with rainbow glitter particles, it is so sparkly and a great shade going into autumn/winter. Prim and Copper -  http://rainbow-connection.co.uk/collections/femme-fatale-cosmetics/products/prim-and-copper-store-exclusive This is more of a deep mauve shade with a gorgeous gold...
