Hello lovelies! Blimey I don't know about you guys but it's been a busy few weeks! This month is very exciting as it the fifth anniversary of the amazing Danglefoot Polish. To celebrate, Hayley is releasing a small but still very gorgeous collection of polishes based on the 80's film 'The Neverending Story'. As someone who wasn't even born until 1996 (sorry if that upsets anyone haha!), I haven't seen it but I can promise that these polishes are stunning! Read on if you want to see for yourself!

Helloo ladies and gentlemen! I hope you've all had a lovely Wednesday. I've had a fab day going to a brand new university for my induction/enrolment onto my masters course in neuropsychology! Today I have some gorgeous customs to share with you in celebration of Rainbow Connection UK's 6th anniversary. I was both shocked and honoured when I was asked to swatch these so I hope I've done them justice!

Hello lovely people! I have something very exciting to share with you today as the ever amazing Barry M have released new polishes for the A/W season and sent them to me to swatch! They have released two new collections and four limited edition polishes which is all very exciting. I received all the polishes but I'm going to share the collections individually as otherwise it would be a very long post! First up we have the Crystal Rock collection which is a gorgeous set of seven texture polishes. Let's dive right in shall we?!

Hello! As I sit and write this post I'm currently deciding whether to go for a nap in preparation for my night shift tonight, or to carry on doing nails...I'm on a roll and I don't want to stop! Today I've got some polishes to share with you from the wonderful Barry M. I was once again contacted about the release of a new set of polishes, this time from their much loved Gelly Hi Shine collection. These are a perfect little set of bright summer shades so let's get stuck in!
Well hello there! How are we all? I can't believe I haven't written a blog post for almost six months...where has the time gone?! I've been super busy with a ton of exciting things like passing my driving test, moving out of my parents and into a flat with my boyfriend and a little holiday to New York! However, I have missed doing my nails and I'm really hoping I can get back into it properly. To kick things off I'm starting with some swatches from Cirque. I bought these polishes ages ago from Rainbow Connection UK so it's definitely about time I tried them. Let's have a little looksie shall we?

Hello! Today I'm going to be sharing swatches from one of the newest UK indies on the block, Elune by Emily! I say one of the newest but I think they've actually been around since April, I've just never got round to trying any polishes! Thankfully that has now all changed after the lovely Emily asked if I could swatch some of her latest releases and I was very quick to say yes! For those that don't know, Elune by Emily is a UK indie polish brand run by Emily from @nailmeright on Instagram. Over the last few months she's created lots of different beautiful polishes all with female names. The names are all inspired by a variety of things from Emily's life e.g. books, films and music, which I think is really lovely! We've all got to appreciate a bit of girl power right?! Read on to find out more about the polishes I was sent.

Good evening! It's been a little while I know but I've been working an absolute ton. Gotta get all that money to spend on Christmas right?! Or what I really mean is clothes and nail polish! Anyway, as always I am returning with something super exciting. For a while now Hayley from Danglefoot Polish has talked about doing a Doctor Who collection and I was lucky enough to be asked to collaborate on it as I love it so much. Obviously I said yes and a few months ago we really started thinking about what we wanted in it. Do you want to see what we came up with? Of course you do so read on!

Hello lovely people! I'm back again today with another swatch and review post for 'Ard As Nails. Well, not for 'Ard As Nails as Kat doesn't ask me to write a blog post, only to swatch the polishes. I just think they're so fab that they deserve their own blog post! I received these beauties a couple of weeks ago and the shades made me soo ready for autumn. Although I do love a good neon and bright polish for summer, I just adore all the colours that you get with this lovely change of season. It's the 1st of September so it's officially autumn now too yeah?! Let's take a look at what new additions we have to The Creme Collection!
Hi everybody! If you follow me on Instagram then you know I've had a totally crazy month or two hence the lack of posts! I have finally submitted my dissertation so will be officially graduating in September, had my birthday last week so now I'm at the ripe old age of 22 (woo!), been on a little trip to Edinburgh with my lovely boyfriend and next week I start my new job! I can't believe how quickly it's come round and I'm so excited. Today I found out that I will be working on the specialist personality disorder ward which I imagine is going to be a challenge but so interesting and rewarding. Anyway, as exciting as that is for me, I'm sure you're here to read about nails so let's crack on shall we? Today I have the four new additions to the Molten Metal collection from Barry M. Read on to find out more!

Hi! It's another Wednesday and fortunately I actually have another post. This week has become slightly crazy as we decided I would be moving out on Friday so now I'm frantically packing the past four years of uni life up and wondering how on earth I've accumulated so much stuff! I'm incredibly excited to be going home though as I get to be with my gorgeous dog again and I'll be 20 minutes up the road from my boyfriend rather than 2 hours away. I just really hate packing...a lot. And don't even get me started on all the polish I have to pack yet haha! Anyway, today I'm going to be sharing the five new additions to The Creme Collection from 'Ard As Nails. Let's get stuck right in!
Hey guys! Is it just me or is July speeding away? This will only be a short post from me today as I'm busy trying to do my dissertation and as the internet decided to crash earlier, I haven't done as much as I planned. Back in October/November I won a free polish from Wikkid Polish and I'm only just getting round to using it. Awful I know! I got to choose which one I wanted and although I had a list a mile long, I settled on a purple because as we know, you can never go wrong with purple!
Hi everyone! Apologies for my mini break again, things got pretty crazy very quickly and I just didn't have time for nails. The good news is, on Monday I was offered an actual full time adult job! As I'm sure most of you know, I'm just coming to the end of four years studying psychology at uni. I've been applying for jobs for months and for the most part, have heard nothing back at all. However, all that finally changed! I'm so so pleased because I'll be working in a psychiatric hospital in my home town which means I can live at my parents temporarily. My boyfriend and I are planning to get our own house together so this gives me the perfect opportunity to save some money. I am super excited and it's finally starting to feel like my life is coming together! Anyway, onto todays post! Way back in October last year I did my first, and only, monthly favourites post. Now that I'm back blogging etc., I obviously wanted to start that again properly so here we are!
Evening lovelies! I am back from my little weekend holiday feeling both rested and exhausted...not sure how that works but hey! It was really nice to get away for a few days with my boyfriend, parents and my gorgeous doggie and we had a lovely time exploring a bit of Cornwall. My parents are actually staying for the rest of this week but I've come back to uni to carry on with dissertation work (and blogging!). This leads me on to today's post which features one of my favourite international indie brands; Painted Polish. I have two polishes to share with you from the Road to Polish Con series in the lead up to both the New York and Chicago Polish Con's last year. Once again, my good friend Becca ordered these for me alongside her stuff and I'm sooo happy she did!
Hi all! Apologies for my missed post on Friday. I thought I could do swatches and write a post before my boyfriend came to visit but I was very much mistaken, woops! Today I'm sharing some polishes that I've waited a good few months to get my hands on and I'm super excited to have finally tried them. These are of course, the four new holographic polishes that form part of the Molten Metal collection from Barry M. Let's get right into the swatches shall we?
Hello hello! I hope you've all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine (or avoided the sun if you're like me!). Today I have some swatches of polishes I received from my wonderful friend Becca of A Certain Becca Nails. These polishes are from LynBDesigns, a brand from Michigan in the US. LynBDesigns is completely new to me so I was excited to see what the polishes were like. Read on to find out more!
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?

Hello hello! Thought I'd spend some time writing a blog post as I'm just waiting for my new term at uni to start and I've been sent four gorgeous polishes from my beloved Danglefoot Polish. When Hayley told us she was going to be making a Star Trek collection I got super excited because I LOVE Star Trek, both old and new. I must admit that Chekov in the recent films is my absolute favourite so I was utterly heartbroken when the actor Anton Yelchin died a couple of years ago. It's safe to say that I did not make it through Star Trek Beyond without crying! Anyway, onto happier things like pretty polishes...
Well I think it's safe to say final year of uni is taking over my life...as well a being Chair of the archery club. Until last night, I hadn't painted my nails since Halloween! I finally decided enough was enough and even though it was about half 11, I put on a film and got a few swatches done. I've had these polishes sitting on my shelf for a good few months now and as I discovered they are still available, I thought I would try them first. This is the Hipster Trio from Painted Polish and I purchased them from Rainbow Connection UK.
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!
