NYc In A Minute Nail Polish in High Line Green Swatch and Review

Hey guys I really thought I swatched this but turns out I haven't even done a look with it so now is the perfect time!


I used 2 coats of the nail polish for this swatch. I had a bit of trouble getting it on the nail smoothly but that may be because it is quite an old polish. It is not a colour I planned on wearing on its own, I bought it to use for nail art.


Sorry my cuticle is so disgusting, I forgot to put my cuticle cream on it before taking this picture which I regret :(. The main thing I hate about this nail polish is that it stains SO BADLY! I feel like the NYC in a minute colours all do this! Its so annoying that's why I never wear it.

Turquoise, Black and White Nail Art

Hey guys so yesterday I posted this nail look with just the white colour, and I decided to add a black nail polish to it and it actually turned out really good.


I added thin black lines in between the white nail polish. I think this makes the nail look look much more complicated therefore making it more fancy. I used a  Nubar Black Nail Art striper which you can purchase online somewhere aha I'm not sure the best place. 


I love this picture, it is such amazing quality I had to make it extra large haha. To see the post yesterday click here.

Turquoise and White Easy Nail Art

Hey guys sorry I didn't post yesterday, I painted my nails and I had a shower and my nails were still a bit wet so they peeled off in the shower lol! But its ok because I re-did them today :)


I used 2 coats of Barry M Greenberry for the turquoise colour and then I used a white striper for the triangle stripe things. I really like this design it makes the nail polish look so much brighter. I know it isn't the neatest, I need to cut the brush of the striper because the brush hairs are different lengths which is why the points are messy.

The striper I used was a Nubar Nail Art Striper which I used to be able to get on amazon but they recently stopped selling them so I need to find a good alternative.

Maybelline Color Show Latte Swatch & Review

Hey guys I've been on the lookout for a good nude nail polish and I think I've found a good one!


I used 3 coats to achieve this colour. The first coat is very sheer but the second coat makes it very opaque. It was about £2 or £3 so I thought it would be bad quality but it is actually better than a No7 Nude polish I have. 


It is a really good nude colour, it looks different than it does in the bottle. I was going to buy Barry m lychee instead but I realised it was too light to be a nude for my skin tone.

Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover Review

Hey guys I rarely do nail care posts but seeing as I try a lot of products I will try to do more. Unfortunately I don't have before and after pictures because when I used this the lighting was too dark to take a good quality picture.


I use this every 2 weeks to make sure my cuticles are looking healthy. A lot of people say you shouldn't cut your cuticles. That is true, but this only removes the dead cuticle so it doesn't damage your cuticles. I apply it, wait 8 minutes and then push back my cuticles using a metal cuticle pusher. Then I wash my hands to remove the excess cuticle remover.


You don't have to use a cuticle pusher with this, the applicator of this is designed so you can push back your cuticles with it. I personally prefer using my metal one but this is still effective.

I really want to try the other Sally Hansen remover that is blue but I'll get that when this runs out

Tumblr Inspired Easy Fall Manicure!

Hey guys I saw this picture on a nail art tumblr and thought it would be so easy for a fall nail art! I went out and bought a brown nail polish for this.


This is the picture I got inspiration from.


Obviously the brown nail polish is waaay darker than the tumblr picture. I apologise for that, when I went out to buy the nail polish I forgot I needed a lighter one! I'll be on the lookout for the perfect brown colour and when I find it I'll blog it!

 I used 2 coats of Barry M Cappuccino and on the ring finger I used 2 coats of Barry M Gold Glitter.

Barry M Cappuccino Swatch & Review

Hey guys I am obsessed with Barry M and I keep buying more and more! My barry m shelf on my nail polish rack is full!


I used 2 coats for this swatch. It looks a bit green on this picture but I promise its just a plain dark brown. I thought it would be lighter but idk. I'm still looking for the perfect brown colour for fall. This is a bit too dark for me I think.


It was £2.99 from Superdrug. It went on really smoothly and I didn't need a base coat or top coat.
