Barry M - Lolly Gloss Collection Nail Art + Review

Hey everyone! Today I have a review of the brand new Barry M - Lolly Gloss collection*, but rather than swatches of the collection I'll be reviewing in the form of nail art. The collection consists of four limited edition translucent shades, scented in Raspberry and Strawberry. I was quite sceptical about them being scented because normally the smell of nail varnish is just too overpowering in scented polish but these really do smell fruity, I could still smell it after topcoat and a couple of hours later too. They also dry very glossy as the name would suggest. The polishes can be worn alone or together, so I decided to put them together in this marble/red tortoise shell look.  Read more after the jump.

Monthly Favourites: July

Hey everyone! Second post from me tonight, I'm trying to get all my posts scheduled and written as I'm going on holiday in 6 hours (so excited but very tired). I really can't believe how fast this month has gone! Seems only a few days ago when I was writing my monthly favourites for June, and now we're here again, with a bunch of new products that I cant wait to show you. Again, I have five products, not necessarily all nail related, and not necessarily all review samples, these are products that I genuinely have loved this month. In no particular order the products are:

1. Real Techniques Core Collection Kit

2. Models Own - Pear Drops*

3. Body Shop Fijan Water Lotus Body Lotion and Eau de Toilette*

4. Me Me Me Cosmetics Coral Blush Me and Divine Mascara*

5. Zoya - Rocha*

Models Own Sweet Shop Collection 2014 - Review and Swatches

Hey everyone! Today I have two polishes from the gorgeous Models Own Sweet Shop collection* to show you: Rhubard and Custard* and Pear Drops*. I was actually sent three, the other being Liquorice Allsorts*, but I have a complete intolerance to liquorice for some reason, and the smell was just making me feel ill, so I decided to leave it. From the one nail I did manage to paint, I'd say 2 easy coats would be enough for opacity if you're okay with the smell of liquorice. 

Skittles nail set

So today I have another post showing you a new nail set I've done which is now on my Etsy. Similar to my Jelly Beans Set: Skittles nails! Hope you like them :)

Jelly beans!

Hi everyone! Here's a (small) break from repeated posting of metallic nails in the form of a jelly bean nail set. A close family friend asked me to do 'jelly bean nails' and was no more descriptive, so I was left to come up with a design on my own. I was just going to do big jelly beans on all the nails and the 'Jelly Belly' logo on the thumbs but I changed my mind last minute and came up with this. I really like how they turned out because they're so colourful. I'm a bit disappointed with the Jelly Belly logos because the yellow acrylic went incredibly transparent when I put a top coat on, but I can learn for next time! Also, these are now available on my Etsy :)

 There are WAY too many colours to list but if you want to know just ask :)
Sorry for the picture heavy post, I'm a bit obsessed with these nails!
Hope you like them :D
