Its Thursday again and today my #tbt post is dedicated to one of The Lacquer Lab's first collections, The Spring Breakers Collection. This bright 5 piece collection contains all cremes in a gorgeous variety of colours. Cancun Hot is the hottest fiery red I think I have in my collection. This is 2 coats, no topcoat. Kiss Me Quick (#KMQ) is a lovely bright bubblegum pink. Again 2 coats for full coverage, no topcoat. Ultra Violet is such a bright berry purple, 2 coats no topcoat for the photo below. Pool Party is such a unique colour. It photographs more blue than it appears but its lovely, a real muted blue/periwinkle blue. 2 coats, no topcoat for the photo below. Joy Ride is a yummy mint green and needs only 2 coats for full coverage. Overall this is a perfect collection. It is difficult to pick faves when each individual lacquer is so lovely. I suggest you go get these lacquers now before they are discontinued. I can honestly say that they are all incredible and as a massive fan o...

Firstly, I know it's Wednesday but for some reason this post didn't go out as it was suppose to yesterday. I'll have to look at my blogger scheduling settings. Today I bring you Topper Tuesday! A new feature for the blog which I would alternate with Tutorital Tuesdays. Topper Tuesdays will just showcase an interesting glitter polish topper but it will give me a chance to show some of the more unique glitters I have in my collection or that I buy in the future. Today I have a Nails Inc Floral glitter topper called Richmond Gardens . I love how beautifully elegant the bottles are. When these were released I was very excited! However for £12 a go, I was a little hesitant to buy any. Thankfully I received this in a prize pack from winning the Grazia Manicure Monday Competition! Thank you Grazia! This polish contains pale lime green, blue and white matte hex glitters in 2 sizes as well as white and blue flower shaped matte glitters in a clear base. Glitter coverage was good bu...

  Press Sample   I was contacted by the lovely girls of INNI Nails to review their nail wraps. Before starting my blog I had never worn nails wraps but I am beginning to love them. Each set I try from different sellers has a unique look and I love seeing how they overcome the issue of sizing and the difficulties some people (maybe just me?) can have with application.   The girls behind INNI are amazing and were very quick to reply to any questions I had when it came to how best to apply their wraps.   I was sent 2 designs, and although they were very different from each other I really loved them both. In the package I received my 2 sets of wraps and a great nail file that has a very coarse texture, perfect for filing off those extra bits of wraps.     What was initially striking and really unique about INNI was that e ach wrap set has a total of 26 nail stickers with 13 different sizes for both hands. Everyone can find their perfect fit with these, whether you have tiny hands and nails...

So I thought I would let you know what I consider to be my nail essentials. I know that this differs from person to person depending on taste and preference to smells and flavours of creams etc but here is what I use daily and always carry with me when I go away. Cleanup My polish remover of choice is from Superdrug I tend to buy the non-acetone formula as I use acetone separately and don't want it drying out my nails any more. The blue bottle says it's 'gentle on nails and kinder to skin' and it costs £1.39 The pink bottle says it's 'nourishing and contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E' and it costs £1.39. The good thing about Superdrug is they're BUAV approved, their products are NOT tested on animals and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Also they do a lot of 3 for 2 offers! I use acetone to clean up once I've done a manicure. You only need a tiny bit and even with the frequency I do my nails I find a bottle lasts ages. I buy mine for £1 f...

Press Sample I was contacted by the lovely Sabrina of Polish Alcoholic to see if I wanted to swatch a couple of her beautiful polishes and how could I refuse. Today I bring you Lovejoy which is a gorgeous red holographic polish which makes up part of the 6 piece Summer Collection 2014. The polishes in this collection are named after famous comets. I love the way indie makers take inspiration from the most unusual of sources to name their polishes and I adore the names of the polishes in this collection. This polish is a real chameleon in that the colour looks SO different in different lights. As with all holographic polishes it looks best outside in direct sunlight, this way you can see the holographic effect really nicely. The colour also looks a lot brighter, more cherry red than the deeper tones shown in darker light sources.

The day has arrived where I get to announce the winners of my Yoomoo #guiltfreezetpl froyo inspired nail art competition. I can't believe I announced the start of this competition on the 17th June and it's over already. I have really enjoyed seeing every ones entries come rolling in over the last few weeks. They have been amazing and I have been so impressed with the quality, creativity and talent that my instagram followers have shown, consequently it made making the decision of who won really hard. However I managed to pick 3 stunning entries from the 17 that I received and these are the wining designs. Elaine, Ruth and Lisa from instagram were the ladies with designs that just jumped out at me. Well done. The prize for the winners is shown below, a bottle Nails Inc Udderly Shocking Pink (exclusive for this Yoomoo competition) and some yummy sweets. I have also included a few nail art extras to help the winners with future manicures. Here is a quick collage of the amazing ...

  At home 'gel' style polish is a massive trend, this year especially and a lot of brands are bringing out more and more non UV gel style polishes. These tend to have a thicker consistency and can be more difficult to apply if you are not careful, however they are super pigmented and have an amazing shine to them when dry.   Models Own have now got 15 HyperGel polishes and Barry M have a massive 28 Gelly Hi-Shines and considering these are the 2 biggest high street nail polish brands I thought it might be nice to do a comparison of their gel style colours. I have grouped similar colours together so you can easily see how similar or different they are.   All the swatches on my nails are in the same order as the first picture of the set showing the bottle shot so I will only type out the names once. I have also created a collage showing the swatch with each of the bottles. Sometimes colours are very different on the nail than in the bottle and so this helps you identify again w...
