*Press Sample* Hello my lovely readers, I hope you have all had a fabulous weekend. It was quite warm here so we went to the park and had an ice cream, the next thing I know it's pouring rain. Seriously wish this British weather would make it's mind up, it is like England has mixed emotions at the moment. For today's blog post I am using another great product from the lovely people at Nicole's Diary. For this manicure I used another beautiful Princess Nail Lacquer polish and some Mundo De Unas stamping polish. I liked how this turned out it was a very happy go lucky look, great for when the sun actually does peek its head out from behind those clouds. For my base colour I used Princess Nail Lacquer's Heart Break, this is a beautiful deep purple with scattered holographic glitter.  It applies really easily to the nail and is fully opaque in 2 coats. It does not leave any staining on the nail or cuticles.  Once my base colour was t...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope you have all had a great week. I am counting down the days for my mum to get home from America with my brand new bottle babies. Fingers crossed they all arrive safe, I will post haul pics on my Instagram so keep an eye out for those. Today's post is another smoosh mani, this time I used my Princess Nail Lacquer Sleeping Beauty trio. I knew when I purchased these polishes I would have to do a Sleeping Beauty themed mani, it is one of my all time favorite Disney movies. I relate very strongly to Aurora especially the sleeping for a long time aspect. With my chronic illnesses fatigue is a huge part of it and I honestly think if my body didn't need water and food it would just sleep forever.  To create this look I first put two coats of Merryweather onto all of my nails, I wanted to put the lightest colour in the smoosh down first so it would show with the other two more bold colours. No matter how hard I tried poor Merryweather just ...

Hello my lovely readers, I can not believe we are back to Monday all ready the weekends just seem to fly by. I hope you had a fabulous weekend, the weather still doesn't seem to have made up its mind here in the UK. But I have some gorgeous brand new nail polishes to show you today from Princess Nail Lacquer, which is a new to me brand. So lets jump straight in! This beautiful three piece collection is based off of the three fairies in the Sleeping Beauty movie, I have always loved this movie and knew I needed these stunning polishes the minute I saw them on Princess Nail Lacquers Instagram. These are gorgeous colours for summer and perfect to wear on your fingers and toes to the beach. The first gorgeous polish is called Merryweather- True Loves Kiss, this beautiful pastel blue is based off of the short spit fire fairy that gave Aurora the gift to be awakened by true loves kiss when she is put under the sleeping curse.   The formula was so easy to work with ...

*Press Sample* Hello my lovely readers I hope you have all had a good week so far, the weather here has been absolutely crazy. One minute the sun is shining the next it is pouring down and you can hear clashes of thunder in the distance. So to try and brighten things up bring back those happy summer vibes I used some of the water decals that were recently sent to me by Nicole Diary in exchange for an honest review. This water decal worked so well with the Danglefoot Snow and Charming duo. I used the water decal for my accent nail and it tied the whole manicure together really well. The water decals or nail water stickers were extremely easy to use, it had very clear instruction's on the back of the packaging. To start this manicure I used 2 coats of snow on all of my nails I then top coated and waited for that to completely dry. Once that was done I cut out the part of the decal I wanted and tried to get it to be just a little bit bigger than my nail. I placed t...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope you all had a really great weekend and are enjoying all of this fabulous sun we have been having. Unfortunately I have woken up to a very drizzly Monday morning, but these beautiful limited edition Danglefoot polishes have definitely made my day a little brighter. For today's blog I will show you full swatches of this gorgeous Once Upon A Time duo. This months duo is Snow and Charming, if you missed last months polishes you can find full swatches of Swan and Hook here . These limited edition duos are made by the lovely Hayley from Danglefoot nail polish, she has collaborated with different bloggers to create some beautiful polishes based off of the characters from the TV show Once Upon A Time. Last months polishes were a collaboration with myself and Hayley and this months duo was a collaboration with Hayley and SailorNails . Snow is a beautiful white crelly with holographic glitter and green shimmer, the shimmer was so difficult to ca...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope you have all had a great week so far. I am loving all of the Summer manicures floating around at the moment. Especially the beautiful gradients, I do love the effect of a gradient but not so much the clean up after. However once I had finished swatching the Freckles polish cremes collection I couldn't resist seeing how well they would blend together. Lets get straight into it! For this paticular manicure I used Oh Boy, Parma Violets and Make The Boys Wink for my gradient base full swatches of these are in my previous post . These polishes blended so well together. I had to do about 3 layers to get the blend of colours I was happy with and to make sure they were opaque. I did put down a white base before sponging my gradient onto my nails. For this I used Color Club French Tip which is a lovely 1 coat white, great for nail art. I also had to add a little bit of glitter so I used China Glaze Fairy Dust to add that little bit of sparkle to the gr...

Hello my lovely readers, I hope you are all having a great week so far and are enjoying all of this beautiful sunshine we have been having lately. I have been making sure Lexi and myself have plenty of sun screen on as we are both so pale, the joys of having Irish skin. For today's post I would like to show you the full 6 piece creme collection from Freckles polish. This collection is all about creme's it was released a few months ago and has 6 gorgeous pastel shades with a creme finish; I believe this will be part of the Freckles Polish core collection and will be added to as the year goes on. Let's get into the swatches! The first creme in the collection is called Banana Milkshake, this is a pastel yellow that takes 3 coats to be fully opaque.  This polish was on the sheer side but built up really well, if manipulated too much this may get streaky so the three stroke method will probably be best for this one.  This polish is perfect for Spri...
