Autumn Trees

Today I finally have a mani for the new season! This was inspired by Cristie from knightowlnails on Instagram and if you like nail art and don't follow her then you definitely should! She particularly does a lot of great stamping which I am very jealous of. 

Return in Purple

Well...I think it's safe to say my second year of uni is very busy! I wish I could do my nails and blog more than I currently am but unfortunately that just isn't an option right now. I'd like to be optimistic and say things will settle down but considering I have January exams I don't think that will happen. Maybe I'll just have to figure out some super organisation thing so I can do everything I want in the limited time I have... Anyway I digress, I finally have some nail art for you! Granted it's only two accent nails that have been stamped but that's better than nothing right?

Danglefoot Polish Haul

Has it really been so long since my last post?! You can tell uni has gotten to me already... I'm only a few weeks in and already have so much to do! Obviously that means what I'm going to do is paint my nails, take photos and then do blog posts haha! 

Anyway, so recently Hayley from Danglefoot Polish reopened her shop and had restocked some old polishes and added some new collections which was very exciting! Honestly, before she opened, I went through Instagram looking at all the polishes and made a list of what I was going to buy. I chose Prince Charming from her old Once Upon A Time collection as I'd had no money to buy it when she first released it (and it was purple and sparkly), two out of three polishes from a new limited edition trio and five polishes from the new Phantom of the Opera collection. (Find Hayley's shop here and her Instagram here)

Prince Charming - Once Upon A Time Collection

Barry M Limited Edition Sparkling Gelly Polishes

Helloo! I'm back today with another swatch/review post, yippee! I will get back to doing nail art at some point but I just have so many new polishes at the moment, it's going a bit crazy, especially as I've just started uni again. Anyway, today I'm going to be talking about the two limited edition sparkling polishes that Barry M have just released from their Gelly collection exclusive to Superdrug. 

First up is Sparkling Amethyst, a super shiny, sparkly deep purple.

Freckles Polish Review

Hello! Massive apologies for the seriously long absence, it was unplanned and there wasn't really a lot I could do. However I definitely have a great comeback post! Today I'm going to be reviewing my first ever little haul from Freckles Polish and showing you some b-e-a-utiful photos. 

First up is Reign Supreme, a gorgeous grey holo!

31DC2015: Violet

I was really excited to do this day as purple is my favourite colour and I have quite a few purple polishes. I attempted the dry brush technique for the first time and I'm unsure as to whether I like what I've done. 

31DC2015: Blue

Okay yeah so I'm still trying to catch up. It's now day seven and I haven't painted today's black and white nails yet! However this post is for day five. I went for something simple as I'd been busy and used a couple of polishes I hadn't used yet. 

31DC2015: Green

As I have quite a few green polishes I wanted to something that would allow me to use all of them so I decided on spots as unbelievably, I haven't done them for a while. 

31DC2015: Yellow

I knew I wouldn't be on time with this challenge...and I'm only 6 days in! I do have a good excuse; I've been getting ready to move/moving in to my new house at uni! Anyway, Thursday's prompt was yellow so I decided I would attempt to do a gradient butterfly design.

31DC2015: Orange

The title of this post is probably very confusing if you don't follow me on Instagram (if you don't and you want to, you can find me at @polisheddreams_). Basically I decided to take part in The 31 Day Challenge which involves painting your nails each day with help from a prompt. Goes a little bit like this...

I haven't posted my red nails for day one on the blog because honestly, they were terrible. I had to do them late because it was a busy day so that already meant the lighting would be bad for the photos, then I couldn't get the polish off my cuticles for some reason and then I went and smudged one of the nails on a box. So yeah, went really well! Day two went slightly better so these I will show you.
