Hello my lovely readers, today I have some more of the Born Pretty Store stamping polishes for you. I recently brought all of the different colours they have to offer and I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. They are really opaque and most of them can be seen over black and white, as I said in my previous post they do smell quite strong a lot like the Kleancolor polishes. Today's review will just be the first six polishes in the collection and then I will do the rest of them in part 2 and 3. I didn't want these posts to be too long or picture heavy so let's get straight into the swatches. All of these swatches were taken over black and white using images from Uber Chic collection 3 plate 3.  The first polish in this set was this gorgeous orange toned gold, this is opaque over black and white and is a beautiful gold. It would look great for a St Patricks day manicure which is coming up shortly.  This is the beautiful silver stamping polish very op...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Mine has been quite uneventful, I did get some awesome nail mail at the weekend so that helped me feel better about this whole no buy I am on at the moment. 9 days down and only 20 to go! The nail mail I received was from the Born Pretty store and I am over the moon that I now own every stamping polish colour they have brought out so far, I will have swatches of all these over black and white up on the blog soon, and hopefully this will mean my stamping manicures will now have a lot more colour to them. Enough of my rambling lets get into what you are all here for the nails, today's post is really special to me as it is the first time I have done a twinsie manicure with another blogger. The amazing Becca from A Certain Becca Nails and me decided to do a Valentines pond manicure. I have mentioned Becca in a few previous posts, we met through Facebook on the Nail polish sale page. She has become an amazing fr...

Hello lovely readers! Today I have four new stamping plates from Pueen , I was given these as a Christmas present from my lovely Auntie. I thought now would be the perfect time to review and swatch these plates as we lead up to Valentines day, these are some really lovely plates and they stamp beautifully. The Pueen love box stamping set consists of 4 new stamping plates a stamper and scraper, I did try out the stamper but wasn't able to pick up any of the images. I think it may need priming, so instead I stamped all of these swatches using my trusty Moyou London rectangular stamper. All four plates have different themes, there is a Fairytale plate, Geometric plate, Fancy plate and Nature. All of these plates have lovely images that go really well with the theme, this set is selling on the Pueen website for $18.99 which is £13.09. If you don't want all of them they are available separately for $4.99 which is £3.44. These plates are the same size as Moyou London ones an...

Hello my lovely readers! Today I have for you an indie brand I have never tried before, this is my first ever Glam polish. I can officially say I am absolutely loving this Australian indie brand, all of their polishes are 3 free and cruelty free. I brought my first ever bottle from a lovely lady on the Facebook nail polish sale page. However you can buy Glam Polish directly from their website for $11.00 which is £5.41, but shipping is quite high. Or if you live in the UK like myself Rainbow Connection sell Glam polish for £9.95 for a 12ml bottle. You can also buy Glam Polish from Harlow&Co for £6.66, if you spend more than $100 Canadian dollars you do get free international shipping worldwide. I will be making a Harlow&Co order in the next few months and I am sure plenty of Glam polishes will fall into my basket. The polish I brought this time is called Whoosh this is from the Knockout collection part 2 which was released in May of last year. I have actually googled t...

Hello my lovely readers, today's post is another special one. I recently joined a group on Facebook called When Colours Collide , this is a group for all nail addicts that would like to take part in a nail polish challenge. If you have ever wanted to try and do a nail polish challenge but don't think you would have the time to do a full 31 days or even 15 this is the perfect group for you. They post different colour combinations every 2 weeks. So you have plenty of time to work on your design and get it up before the deadline. There are some really lovely people on this group and it is a lovely way to ease yourself into nail polish challenges. From the 18th to the 31st of January the theme was purple and green, when I read this my mind was going crazy trying to decide what I would do. In the end I turned to my trusty Uber Chic plates the two images I chose to stamp are from Uber Chic collection 3 plate 1.  This gorgeous China Glaze purple creme is called Mix and Min...

Hello my lovely readers! After yesterday's January Nailbox unboxing and review I was dying to try out those two pink polishes we received. So for today's quick Sunday afternoon mani I give to you my Valentines Day mani that screams nothing but love. As you all know by now I am a huge lover of all things pink, so when I found out this gorgeous Seche polish called Rendezvous stamps I was over the moon. For the stamping I used one of my favourite stamping brands Uber Chic. This image is from collection 6 using plate 1, I have been meaning to try out this inverted heart image for quite a while and I think it works really well with these two polish colours. Sinful PROshine's Babydoll is such a lovely baby pink creme, I did however need to use three coats to get this fully opaque and if you use to thick a coat it can get quite gloopy. It isn't the best baby pink I have tried but is not the worst either, as long as you do thin coats it will build up well. I left it...

Hello my lovely readers, as we are now finishing up January it is time to start thinking about that lovey dovey day in February. That's right Valentines is just around the corner, and the great girls at Nailbox decided to make sure our nails would be prepared for the occasion. January's Nailbox theme was Valentines day, when I read this my mind immediately went to one paticular colour PINK! I am a huge lover of all things pink, I have pink hoodies, jumpers and trainers. So when I opened this months box I was very happy to see that beautiful colour among my packing peanuts. This month we were treated to another nail treatment, two polishes, one glitter topper and some very handy dandy orange sticks. My little pack of love hearts almost didn't even make it to this picture as my boyfriend loves them and wanted to eat them before I had even finished gazing at the beautiful pink polishes.  Lets dive right in with this gorgeous glitter topper from Nails Inc called ...
