FairyTales Nails

Hello my lovely readers! I am so sorry I haven't posted in the last couple of days, I am trying to fight off this horrible bug that is going around and unfortunately I seem to be losing. Today's post is another Nailbox unboxing and review. This month the theme was Easter, when I think of Easter my mind goes to beautiful pastel shades and eggs. So I was a bit surprised to find some very bright colours in this months box. This months box contained 3 polishes one set of fake nails and some nail polish remover. Like I said upon my first impression this box didn't really scream Easter to me. It isn't that I didn't like the colours its just that the only one I felt fit the theme was the pastel lavender and of course the speckled eggs false nails.  The first polish that I swatched was from Moyou London, I was hoping on first glance that it might have been a stamping polish but from what I can see on the site this is Cerise pink which is one of their normal nail

Hello my lovely readers and a happy Easter to you all, I hope you all have a great day full of happiness family and chocolate. Today's post is just a quick one to show you my Easter Chicks I created for this lovely event. For this manicure I used one of the Winkel Nails creme polishes I recently received, I will leave the link here if you would like to see the swatch and review I did for those polishes. Here he is my little chickadee just popping out of his egg to say hello; to get this look I first painted all of my nails accept my ring finger with 1 coat of Winkel Truly Fresh. Then for my chick accent nail I used Nails Inc Seven Dials, this is a yellow creme opaque in 2 coats. I then top coated all my nails with my HK Girl top coat, and waited for them to completely dry. To create my little chick I used some chevron nail vinyls I recently purchased from She Sells Seashells for £1, I placed two of these down on the completely dry top coat. One of them was placed abo

*These products were sent to me for free in exchange for an honest review* Hello my lovely readers, today I have a very special post for you. I was recently contacted by a new indie polish company called Winkel Nails they kindly sent me four of their creme polishes to swatch and review for you. They are a brand new up and coming UK indie brand, all of their polishes are 5 free. This means that they do not contain any toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin and camphor. All of them are also cruelty free which mean that no animal testing was done to create these lovely polishes. At the moment their collection mainly consists of creme polishes and a few glitters. Their are new colours being added every week, so keep your eyes peeled for those, so now that the introduction is out of the way lets get into these fabulous swatches. The four polishes that I was sent for review all have a creme finish, I was really happy to see the variety in colour they had se

Hello my lovely readers! I can not believe that Spring has arrived so quickly and that Easter is literally only a few days away. It seems very strange to me to have it so close to St Paddy's day, in my family we celebrate both days so that equals twice the fun. We normally go to my amazing Nan's for Sunday roast dinner anyway so Easter just means a roast with the added addition of chocolate. Today's post is another awesome blogger link-up with all the lovely ladies from the Hobby Polish Blogger's Facebook page. This is an awesome group of people who have helped me so much with the progress of my blog. This time the link-up theme is Spring, so for this mani I decided to use that gorgeous pink polish from Tux Polish called Pretty Christmas Sweater , this polish screams Spring to me. I paired this beautiful pink creme with gold shimmer with my white born pretty store stamping polish. As you can probably tell I did not create this water marble myself, I am hoping to

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you have all been having a fabulous weekend, mine has been very relaxing as I haven't been feeling 100%. Today's post is featuring that beautiful Tux Polish Sea Turtle in some nail art. The minute I read the name of this polish I knew what I wanted to do, I even purchased a Moyou London plate specifically for this particular manicure. I really hope you like it and i'm so excited to show you my Sea Turtle mani. Yay! I managed to use this beautiful polish and create in my opinion a very cute Sea Turtle manicure. I completely fell in love with this polish as soon as I saw the bottle, and I knew I had to try and take it to the next level but not ruin that beautiful green colour and it's gorgeous blue shimmer.  To begin I stamped this lovely Turtle/Tortoise shell pattern onto all of my nails using True Brit London Park Lane which I received in a previous Nailbox. This stamps lovely and was just the colour I was looking for. The tu

Hello my lovely readers! Happy St Patrick's day to all, with my family being mostly Irish I knew I wanted to do something special for today's manicure. So when I saw Pretty Serious releasing a limited addition polish called Liquid Leprechaun I knew I had to pick it up. This post is for all of my Irish family and all you lovely people out there that are celebrating this awesome day. I love how this turned out it screams St Paddy's day and that accent nail of Liquid Leprechaun really makes this mani pop. I am sure this will get the seal of approval from my family over seas and at home.  For my accent nail I used the stunning limited edition Pretty Serious Liquid Leprechaun, this is available at Rainbow Connection right now for £6.50.  I think there are only a few bottle's left so hurry on over now to grab yours. Liquid Leprechaun is a jam packed Irish Glitter fest, it has gold and green glitters in many different sizes that all lie in a bright green jelly bas

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you are all having a great week so far, today's post is going to be all about the fabulous indie brand called Tux Polish. They are an American indie maker founded in 2014, they make stunning polishes in lots of different finishes and colours. The creator of Tux Polish is called Dominique all of her polishes are 5 free so there is no toluene,camphor, dibutyl, formaldehyde or formaldehyde resin. I recently asked Dominique if I could purchase one of her discounted Swatch Kits, this is a kit that includes 3 polishes for bloggers to swatch and review. It is a fantastic way for bloggers to try out the brand, and receive some beautiful polishes we may not have picked ourselves. I was over the moon with the 3 polishes that were sent to me, so lets get into the swatches. All 3 of these polishes are available to purchase from the Tux Polish website and all 3 have great formula's. This first polish is called Sea Turtle, this is a gorgeous gre

Hello my lovely readers, as you can probably tell from the title of this post it is that time again. Today's post is all about the latest When Colours Collide theme, if you haven't read one of these posts before When Colours Collide is a Facebook page that invites nail enthusiasts to come up with manicure ideas based off of the theme, they post different colour combinations every two weeks and you then make a manicure combing those colours. This time the theme was red and black, many different thoughts went through my mind for this colour combo but in the end I had to go with my heart. Here they are my blingy ladybirds or as I like to call them ladybugs, when I read that it would be red and black I couldn't resist having these cute little insects crawling across my nails. To start this manicure off I chose this gorgeous OPI called Innie Minnie Mightie Bow this is a beautiful deep red with a subtle gold shimmer, this gorgeous polish is from the Couture de Minnie collec

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you have all had a great week I lost a filling yesterday so had an emergency trip to the dentist, it wasn't as bad as I had imagined so that was a huge plus. As you may or may not know I am always having a lot of trouble keeping my cuticles moist and in good condition due to all the medication I am on for my various chronic illnesses. So a few weeks ago when the lovely Sharon from For Your Nails Only was asking for some people to try out her new organic cuticle balm I jumped at the chance. Today's post is going to be a quick review of how I got on with the product, so lets jump right into it. When I first received the cuticle balm I did a patch test as was suggested by Sharon just to make sure I wasn't allergic to any of the ingredients she had used. As I said this is a organic cuticle balm so all of the ingredients used are 100% organic and natural. The ingredients Sharon put into this cuticle balm are: Pure Natural Refined Beeswax

Hello my lovely readers! I hope you are all having a great week so far, even though this weather is miserable and I am seriously starting to second guess the fact that we are actually in Spring my week has been great. Plenty of nail mail that will be featured on the blog and the best part is Lexi has began to take more than a few steps and is beginning to walk. I never thought I would be so proud and happy of another human being moving their two feet, but I am so ecstatic to see all the little things my baby can do now. Now that I have sung my babies praises lets get into why we are all here, just a few weeks ago I saw that Ard as Nails who are a part of the Soap Dodger company have come out with a new collection. This brand new collection is called The Bookouture Girls, this consists of 5 holographic polishes in some gorgeous colours. definitely polishes that will cheer you up on these cold and dreary spring days.  This is White Cliff Bay it is a stunning turquoise polish
