Sleepover Indie Box - Swatches & Review

Hellooo ladies and gentlemen! I am proud to say that I have officially done my last exam of my undergraduate degree! I can't quite believe it and I don't think the reality has quite sunk in yet... I still have to do my dissertation as I ended up having to get an extension thanks to the not so fun thing that is depression but it's allll good. Anyway, I couldn't wait to get back into blogging so I am making my return with swatches of the recently released Sleepover Indie Box! If you are at all active in the UK indie world then you'll know that the indie box is organised by the fabulous Hayley from Danglefoot Polish and features various other UK indies. Each box has a theme and this time it was Sleepovers! Let's take a look at what goodies were inside shall we?

Monthly Favourites - October 2017

Well, well, well, what is this? I've decided to start doing a monthly favourites post as I love reading other bloggers favourites and I'm hoping I can use it as a way to incorporate some of the things on Instagram that don't get shared on the blog. I tend to do a lot of swatches and unfortunately only some will get posted on here as I don't have the time to write posts and edit photos for everything due to having uni work. But hey, hopefully this will help! 

Halloween Gradient

Okay so let's pretend it isn't the last day of October (aka Halloween) and I've only done four Halloween mani's... I was SO excited about this month and it's been a total flop in terms of nails. But I won't moan too much because I'm actually pretty happy with the ones I'm sharing today, even if doing them meant I didn't go to bed until 1:30am! Sparklea Nail Polish released some perfect polishes for Halloween so I just had to use them before my time was up. Let's take a look shall we?

Sparklea Nail Polish - Moana Collection in Collaboration with Me!

*Press Sample*

Hi everybody, today I'm going to be sharing possibly the most exciting blog post I've ever written! As you may have seen on Instagram, I've been sharing swatches of a new collection from Sparklea Nail Polish. Not only is it a beautiful new collection, it's a beautiful new collection I've collaborated on! A few months ago my very good friend and fab polish maker Lea asked if I wanted to do a Moana collection with her due to our shared obsession of the film and of course the only answer to that question was "YES!". We starting coming up with some ideas and I went away and created a mood board for each polish which was super fun and apparently really helpful for Lea. We settled on a collection of six and I am so so pleased with how they've turned out! There are Moana spoilers ahead so if you haven't seen the film yet, 1. Go watch it. Like right now. and 2. Just look at the pretty pictures and don't read the words. I can promise these polishes are all amazing.

Sparklea Nail Polish - The Carnival Collection

Well ladies and gents, today is a very special day. This afternoon I'm starting my new job (part-time) which I'm both excited and nervous about as I'm sure is normal. I am looking forward to having a bit of extra money to spend though! However, not only am I starting a new job, this blog post is my 100th post! I can't believe it, I've sat down and written about nails 100 times. In celebration of this milestone, I wanted something exciting to share so I settled on the newest collection from my bff Lea, the creator of Sparklea Nail Polish.

Sparklea Nail Polish - Mer-Maid you Laugh Collection

It seems this week was a bad week to say I'll start blogging again haha! It was my boyfriends 21st birthday on Thursday so we went away for a night and since then I've been at home without my laptop or photos. What a disaster! I've had a good few days though, it's always nice going home. Well, except we've had to make a few vet trips with my dog...the long and short of it is we don't really know what's wrong with him. His various test results keep coming back with things that don't match up so the vets are a bit confused right now. But anyway, we're here to talk about nails. Today I have another beautiful collection from Sparklea Nail Polish to share with you. It is called the Mer-Maid You Laugh Collection and features four gorgeous polishes perfect for spring/summer with pun-tastic names!
