Dogs Trust Team With Models Own + Giveaway!

Hey Ladies :)

*Press Sample*

How are you all? excited that it's Friday and a relaxing weekend is ahead!?

Today I have for you all a polish from Models Own who have teamed up with Dogs Trust to make a limited edition nail polish called 25 Carat Gold. It is to mark the 35th anniversary of Dogs Trust's famous slogan "A dog is for life...not just for Christmas"

The profit made from selling these lovely limited edition gold polishes will all go to Dogs Trust, to help those cute little doggies find a permanent home!

I personally am not a fan of dogs, more of a kitty girl :D but if I could I would home a dog!

The gold polish is actually really lovely, completely opaque in two coats and really really shiny! The application is easy and dries average.

This is one of the best and only gold polishes I now have in my polish collection! :D

Here are the swatches :)

I saw Emma from Emslittlecorner do some dog paws so I did the same! You can see hers HERE

Here is my Penguin supporting Dogs Trust! :D

Barry M - Matte - Crush w/ Gold topcoat!

Hey Ladies,

My exam is over! It was bloody tedious...those examiners are so evil!

Anyway, I swatched Barry M - Crush which is a deep red colour and such a bonus that it dries matte!

I have two easy coats on and I have to say Barry M have it covered when you wanna have two perfect two coats! I am loving all their polishes and I really can't get enough really!

I did add NYC - Gold Topcoat over it just to see how it looks and DAMN! it's da bomb! Really adds an elegant touch to it!

Here it is :)

Goldyyyy!!!!

I really do like it with the gold topcoat on! What do you guys thinkies!?

Thanks for reading!

Hey all,

My exam is tomorrow! ARGHHHH!! Not looking forward to it at all I am kinda ready but not ready but ugh :( lol

I am impressed at how perfect this turned out!

Green Nude Stripes!

Hey all,

Procrastination at its best, I have an exam in four days and I'm stressing really hard but keep taking breaks to crochet, eat, text and of course paint my nails!

This morning I painted my nails with a nude polish Barry M - Caramel (my fav!) and then decided to do a stamp image over it. At first I was gonna use Barry M - Greenberry then decided to change my mind and use Watermelon instead :)

I stamped on a tiger stripe from one of the cheeky plates I own :) I added glitter to my ring finger and some silver rhinestones to the rest of my nails!

The pictures are a bit out of focus thanks to my shaky hand, hopefully I will be purchasing a new phone soon and the pictures will be amazing!

Here it is :)

It's definitely a simple manicure, but very eye catching and nice :) I do like how it turned out!

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for reading!

New Year Nails....a bit late!

Hey all :)

2nd of January, how are the resolutions holding up?

I have one resolution that may shock you all...i'm gonna stop buying nail polish :O in all honesty I really don't need any more! I need to make use of all the colours I already have!

I'll let you all know if this resolution sticks...mayyyyyyyyyybe not :P hehe!

I did a pretty easy nail clash glitter firework thingy for new years, just painted my nails in a dark deep blue sky colour and then I added various glitters to my nail to resemble the fireworks :) then a little 2014 on my thumb in case you all still thought it was 2013 :D

Here it is :)

Pretty simple :) but I think it looks great hehe!

Thank you for reading, I hope you all have a lovely year and loads of good things will be in all your paths!

Bye for now :)

Happy New Year! :)

Hey Ladies,

Yup, it's the new year...another year for us all to promise to go to the gym and never go! It's the thought that counts right?

For the new year I've gotton myself a new watermark thanks to a friend of mine, I can't thank her enough! I love how it turned out and its really me :D She got the watermark just perfect! hehe! It's in my new banner too :D

I'm doing a round up of all my favorite manicures of the year and bloody hell it was hard to choose...I'm still wanting to add more pictures to the collages! But managed to stop myself from going insane doing that.

I just love most of the nail stuff I've done!

Lets start off with my favorite glitters :) I love the lot and I will use em all forever!

Second up is my favorite nail art i've done. Both inspired by bloggers and my own!

Now time for some gradients! This year has been full of the stuff :D 

Lastly its my favorite stamping manicures i've done!

There is definitely more manicures that i've done but I couldn't fit them all in, which is such a shame because I love everything i've done :D 

What do you ladies think? :)

I wish you all a great new year and I hope you can all achieve your resolutions :D

MissJenFabulous....NOT COOL!

Hey ladies,

I really don't like writing negative posts, but this is an issue that has me very appalled and angry.

I am sure many of you have heard of MissJenFabulous...I for one WAS a fan till I heard how she steals other hard working nail blogger designs and passes them off as her own....WHAT?!?

I mean okay...paint your nails however way you want and copy whoever you want and be inspired as much as you like but damn...girl...at least credit them! It's really not a hard thing to do! 

I watched a video by Zenorah which you can watch HERE and I mean really...not cool at all.

I had to go and ask the lady myself, I was extremely polite and said nothing rude but instead asked her nicely to just credit other people! What did I get? a reply and BLOCK...she blocked me from her instagram...how old is she? 10? 

I mean....I was just being nice...is she just that narcissistic, deleting bad comments and only showing the good ones to make herself seem "great"

I'm really unimpressed. Making money off other people's hard work.

Oh and...

Well that's all out now, had to vent and I am not sorry.

Let me know what y'all think!

SparRitual - Determination!

Hey Ladies,

I hope you are all having a very merry Christmas. I don't celebrate Christmas but it is such a lovely day of the year, I love all the Christmas lights and all the effort every one goes to, to make their family and friends have a good day :)

Today I have a swatch of SpaRitual's - Determination from the Odyssey collection *Press Sample*. It is a range of lovely matte polishes! I do love me a good matte polish, just love the texture and rubbing it on my upper lip :D lol

Determination is a matte black colour, it does exactly as it's suppose to. I have two easy coats on and there was a bit of streaking...thankfully it evened out after the second coat! Drying time with mattes are pretty damn fast and it was completely dry to the touch in 2 minutes or so! 

Here it is :)

I do love the matte touch on this polish :) There are cheaper alternatives like Barry M - Espresso which is also matte. In my opinion this polish is more matte :)

I added a bit of a goldy touch to the polish using NYC - Gold topcoat!

Really brings out the black! Gold and Black are just so darn elegant together!

SpaRitual polishes are available at Sparitual (UK), Feelunique.com and SpaRitual (US), retailing for £9.75! 

Thank you for reading :)

Bye for now!!

Match Your Nails To Your Cocktail!

Hey all :)

Today I have a press sample* from Models Own! 

Models own teamed up with Midori, which I believe is a melon flavored liqueur (I don't drink! lol). They created three wonderful limited edition polishes :D I absolutely love them! 

The collection includes a duochrome, a sheer jelly and an amazing glitter...and you know best of all? All three are scented of melon which means I couldn't stop sniffing my nails!

To top it off, they are all green and I am obsessed with the colour green! all in all i'm a fan :D 

First up I have Golden Green - A wonderful duochrome shimmery gren, the colours shift from a deep green to a gold and I can see hints of a dark purple in there! Trust me, I was at the bus stop just watching my nail's shift from the colours. Pretty impressed! Also, the picture was taken after a day. During the day, I had washed plenty of dishes and even had a shower, as you can see I had no tip wear and the melony smell was still there! This was two easy thick coats which dried pretty fast!

Next up is My Midori - A sheer jelly almost more like a acid neon green (haha!) I gotta say this polish is pretty sheer, I have about 5 coats on and you can still see my nail line! ( :O OH MY!) but don't run away yet, there is a good side, each layer dried very quickly. You can definitely build it up safely with out worrying it'll get ruined. I applied this in the evening and woke up in the morning with no bed sheet marks on my nails...that's a win people. Can obviously be layered over white if you wish to make it "pop" with out adding tonnes of layers! 

Lastly, I have Dancing Queen - A glitter that not only smells yummy but has so many yummy glitters in it! From baby blue shards to green, blue, gold hexes which are small and big! Placement is needed with this glitter but thats just like most glitter toppers anyway. I didn't mind that about it. Although you may need a thick coat of top coat to smooth things out :) I have one coat over My Midori

All in all im pretty impressed, all three polishes smell lovely and the smell lasts longer than I had thought. The polishes dry quickly and the application is easy :)

This set is limited edition so hurry! The limited edition My Midori Models Own set will retail at £15 from www.modelsownit.com :)

Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think :D 

Bye for now!

Barry M - Papaya and Limited Ed. E!

Hey all :)

Miss me?! I will be posting whenever I can, just to juggle out all my work and this. I do miss being free!

Afew days ago I made use of the offer in Superdrug and bought 2 Barry M polishes and got 1 free! Wooo hoooo FREEEEEEEEE

I bought a gelly and matte polish because I totally love those finishes! I got Papaya here for you today with the glitter topper by the name of E :)

I have to say Papaya is a really awesome colour! Its a corally pink and I absolutely love it! I have two coats of it on my nails and it's just soooooooo shiny! You can still see my nail line, but thats only cause my nails are so white! 

The glitter topper is amazing too, really densely packed with glitter, I only have one coat of it on and amazing coverage!

Here it is :)

Overall, I do really like these polishes. I can't believe how fast Barry M is becoming my favourite all time polishes!

Thanks for reading :)
