Good afternoon my wonderful readers, thankfully Lexi was in quite a good mood yesterday so I managed to get swatches done to go along with my review of the Ejiubas stamping plate. A few weeks ago I was watching Youtube videos and saw a stamping plate from a brand that I had never heard of. After doing some research and speaking with the lovely Ashley Parrish  on Instagram I managed to get my hands on a set of the holiday plates. She did an awesome review of these plates on her Youtube channel which I will leave a link to  here  if you wanted to go check that out for yourselves. Ejiubas is a professional nail/beauty supplier, I can't seem to find out much information about them. From what I can tell they have brought out 4 stamping plates so far, these come in collections of two both are double sided one side with single stamping images and the other has a large image made up of lots of different things. They are selling their stamping sets on Amazon.com and Wish...

Hello my lovely readers, since last posting I have some good news and some bad news. Good news first my post was returned to me the other night, bad news is that they had gone through all my boxes and have kept three polishes. So I still won't be doing a review for Meebox or Nailbox this month as I don't have the complete set of polishes to show you. However my friend Becca over at A certain Becca Nails will be reviewing both boxes and has already done a review for this months Nailbox. I will leave a link here  if you wanted to go check those out. Keep an eye out for her upcoming Meebox review which I'm sure she will have up the next couple of days. So moving on from the stolen postage saga today I have for you my Breast cancer awareness manicure. As I am sure you are all aware by now October is Breast cancer awareness month and people have been dusting off their pink polishes and doing lovely manicures for this amazing cause. I will leave a link here  to the breast cance...

Hello my lovely readers, now I know I promised you all a review on this months Nailbox and Meebox but unfortunately when they were delivered to my flat Lexi was asleep so I asked the postman and My Hermes guy to place them on top of the letterboxes. I have had many parcels left here before and as security in our building is very high I assumed they would be safe there until I was able to go downstairs to pick them up. Once Lexi had woken up from her nap I went straight down to collect not only my nail mail but also a package from Amazon containing teething medicine for Lexi. When I went down there was no packages what so ever, I searched in every place I could think of but still nothing. So not only has someone stolen my Nailbox and Meebox they have also taken my daughters medicine, to say I was angry is an understatement. Unfortunately after reporting this to all the authorities nothing can be done, I have even left a note on the main door asking for them to at least return the medi...

Hello my lovelies, now I know that I promised you my Nailbox review for October but unfortunately my post man seems to be slower than others. So instead I thought I would share with you my latest mani for Halloween. Now this isn't exactly sticking to the traditional Halloween nail art but you could still technically dress up in a Pacman costume so it's not too far off the theme. So lets get started, first thing I did was some research I found quite a few different tutorials for Pacman nails on Youtube which were really helpful. So after choosing one that I felt was within my capabilities I had to pick out some polishes that would make the perfect base colour both for my Pacman and my little ghosts. I'll leave a link here  to the video that I tried to follow to the best of my abilities, I did think it would be a lot harder to create this look than it actually was which I was so pleased about. The polishes that I used were OPI I just can't cope-acabana which I p...

Good morning my lovelies, I hope everyone has been having a great week so far. Mine hasn't been very eventful as my insomnia has returned and half the time I have been walking around like a zombie, perfect for Halloween right. I managed to rally up enough energy to create this creepy crawly kind of cute spider mani, with some beautiful glistening spider webs to give it that extra bit of sparkle. For this manicure I used the beautiful Sinful PROshine's Show off as the base, I received this gorgeous polish in Septembers creepy colours Nailbox I'll leave a link here  if you wanted to check out the rest of the goodies that came in that box.  After my base coat was completely dry I applied my trusty Seche Vite top coat, this polish is stunning just by itself but I wanted a bit of Halloween magic on my nails too. So once my top coat was dry I used my Born pretty silver stamping polish to stamp on my spider webs. This polish always stamps really well and the silver glisten...

Hello my fellow polish addicts, I hope everyone is having a great day. Today I have a very special post for you, I have the Wicked Glitters Trio from Tux polish. About a month ago I was on Instagram and I saw swatch photo's for these gorgeous Halloween glitters. I hadn't actually heard of Tux polish before so after doing some research on shipping costs and emailing the company I decided I had to buy these unique Halloween polishes to add to my ever growing collection. Tux polish is a American Indie brand that focuses on producing unique polishes its 5 free and I received excellent customer service. I emailed them to ask how much it would be to get the trio shipped to me and within a few minutes I received a reply. They sell every polish you could think of creams, glitters, holo's, crelly's and many more. For their Halloween collection they released 7 brand new polishes. This collection is called the Holo-ween night complete collection, it consists of 3 creams, 3 glitt...

Hello again my lovely polish lovers, I was hoping to get this post up yesterday but due to Lexi having another grr moment that was not possible. However as they say it's better late than never, I am very pleased to share with you today my latest polish haul from Fragrance Direct. A few posts ago I showed you my last Fragrance Direct haul which was full of Essie goodness and a few other bits and bobs. If you wanted to go check that post out I'll leave a link here . So let me tell you how this little haul came to be, as you all know I recently purchased a few Uber chic nail stamping plates from She Sells Seashells and among the images for collection 5 was the cutest bumble bee I have ever seen on a stamping plate. Once I knew I was going to purchase the plates I went on the hunt for the perfect bumble bee colour. At the time I didn't know that Fragrance Direct had restocked a few of their nail polish brands. So I was pleasantly surprised to click onto their OPI section and...
