MAC Morange Lipstick - Wash & Dry Collection

Finally, I am the proud owner of a MAC - Morange lipstick! I've been lusting after this bright orange shade for about a year, and when I found out that MAC had released a special edition as part of the Wash & Dry collection, I decided it was time to take the plunge.

Lottie London Nail Polishes - Swatches and Review

If you've been into Superdrug recently, or even had a browse on their website, you might have noticed a new brand has arrived called Lottie London. Their range of nail polish, nail tools and make up brushes has really caught my attention, mainly because the packaging and branding is really cute - 'Selfie Ready Beauty' - I'm probably too old for that but I was sucked in anyway!

Models Own - Polish for Tans 2 Collection

When Models Own announced they were adding 5 new shades to the Polish for Tans collection I was more than a little excited. The original Polish for Tans range that was released last summer was my favourite collection of 2014 and I'm still a huge fan of neon colours so this new launch looked perfect for me.

My First Pay Day Haul

I'm really sorry because I feel like I've been going on about this for ages, but in case you missed it, I recently started my first 'proper' job since graduating university last summer.

Purple Ombré Nail Art with Silver Glitter Stripes

Another bit of stripy nail art today - what can I say? At least I'm consistent! This particular design was heavily inspired by one of my most favourite nail artists on Instagram, Jessie K, aka @nailsofjessiek.

Danglefoot Nail Polish - Celebration Collection

It's been a very exciting week for me; starting my first 'proper' job, my first mani swap, and now my first indie polish swatches! This fun little collection is from Danglefoot Nail Polish and they're all handmade by Hayley at her home in Norfolk.

Mani Swap with My Mint Nails

I'm so excited to write this post because this is my first ever Mani Swap! The lovely Sarah from My Mint Nails has recreated one of my nail art designs, and I've had a go at one of hers.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine Nail Polish by Rita Ora for Spring 2015

So Rimmel have once again collaborated with Rita Ora and released a second collection of nail polishes all inspired by summer days and fun festival fashion.

Rimmel New 60 Seconds Super Shine Nail Polish

If you've been into Boots or Superdrug recently, you may have noticed that Rimmel have not only added some new Spring/Summer collections but they've also completely revamped their whole nail polish line!

Camouflage Print Nail Art

A really fun bit of nail art for you today. And it was so simple to do!

Leighton Denny - Welcome to the Funfair Collection SS15

Last week I participated in a competition hosted by Leighton Denny on Instagram and was fortunate enough to win the complete Welcome to the Funfair collection: six brand new, vibrant polishes for Spring/Summer 2015.

Matte Pastel Nail Art with Glitter Stripes using Barry M Nail Paints

A bit more nail art today, feel like I'm on a roll at the moment. With the start of a new season and lots of new products being released comes added nail inspiration, which is great for me as I try to distract myself from spending too much money!

The Iconic Chevron Manicure

Whether you're a nail art fanatic like me, or you've just done a google search for inspiration for your next salon visit, chances are you recognise this manicure. It's been everywhere!

Free Nails Inc 'Fashion' Nail Polish with Marie Claire April 2015

This month Marie Claire are offering a free Nails Inc nail polish with their magazine. There are four different creme colours to choose from, I went for this lovely lilac called 'Fashion'.

Bright and Simple Negative Space Nail Art

Negative space. Again! It's one of my favourite styles at the moment. This was totally inspired by a manicure I saw on instagram by @twi_star.

Rainbow Glitter Gradient Nail Art with L'Oreal Polishes

Today is a relatively exciting day for me because my broken nail has finally grown back! Cue the fireworks! Not exactly life-changing but I thought I'd celebrate the occasion with a bit of rainbow glitter.

Glitter Stripes Nail Art with Color Club

Some more stripy nail art today. Stripes are so simple to create with a bit of tape but I think they give a great effect. I've been wearing this mani for a few days now and I really love it, plus it involves my favourite polish brand, Color Club.

Nautical Nail Art - A First Attempt

As a lover of bold colours and stripes, nautical themed nail art seems an obvious choice for me. I'm quite surprised I haven't tried it before now. And since I've recently acquired a few red nail polishes, here was a good chance to try them out.

Negative Space Nail Art with Models Own Colour Chromes

I knew when I first tried the Colour Chrome polishes that I wanted to use them together for nail art. Since 'negative space' seems to be having a bit of a moment right now, I thought it would be a good opportunity to combine the two trends for a modern and grown up manicure.

5 Shades of Grey

It seems impossible to get away from 50 Shades of Grey mania at the moment. I'm not exactly a fan, I'm just too much of a prude! However it did give me a great idea for a little blog post, so here's my favourite grey nail polishes.

Simple Pink Gradient Nail Art for Valentines Day

Happy Friday 13th everyone, hopefully nothing unlucky has happened! Just a quick post today to show you this pretty pink gradient manicure, quite seasonally appropriate as it's Valentine's Day tomorrow...

It's always nice when a beauty product surprises you, and these new Colour Chrome polishes from Models Own have blown me away. There are 10 different metallic colours in this new collection and I have 3 to show you. Click the jump for lots of shiny pictures!

Collective Boots Beauty Haul

Another haul post. I know, I know, but with all the sales and promotions it was just too hard to resist! My only excuse is that it didn't all happen at once, some were gifts and my makeup bag was in need of a refresh.

HEMA Holographic Nail Polish - 52 Copper and 53 Blue

Long story short - I've found some amazing holographic polishes. In a real shop. In London. Oh and they cost £3.75 each. I kid you not! Click for a holo picture frenzy...

Favourite Polishes of 2014

My nail polish collection seemed to expand rapidly over the last year, and whilst the beauty market (and us shoppers) take a break over January, I thought it was a good chance to look back at some of my highlights of 2014...

Boots Haircare Haul

January isn't typically known as a good month for shopping, and after such a lovely Christmas with so many beautiful gifts I haven't felt the need to either. However if there's one thing that needs constant care and maintenance it's my hair...
