Manicare Glass Nail File

Hey guys so I really like this nail file and this is just going to be a quick blog post about it :)

This is so cool, the nail file actually comes with a case :)

It has the most beautiful rhinestone detailing I am in LOVE with it!

I accidently deleted the pic of the nail file but all I can really say about it is that it is really good and prevents my nails from splitting. And sorry this is so short, its pre-written but better blog posts will be coming on the weekend :)

Rimmel London Nail Tip Whitener Review + Swatch

Hey guys so yay I posted a blog post yesterday! Woohoo for consecutive blog posts! Anyways I saw this on FleurDeForce's youtube tutorial of a french manicure which you can watch here. I went out the next day and bought it because I thought it would be perfect for the type of french manicures I like. I have a french manicure tutorial which you can watch if you click the 'My Youtube Channel' tab :)
This is what it looks like on my nails, sorry about the messiness I kept messing up :/
It claims that it is 'Lycra' I personally have no idea what that means so I cant comment on that! But it says it lasts up to 10 days and it actually does!! It lasts a really long time if you put a good enough topcoat overtop of it :) It was like £4.49 which is quite expensive for a drugstore nail polish if you ask me. Oh well its really good!
This is what the brush looks like, its thinner than an average brush but it a little bit thicker than a typical striper brush

Naio Vanilla Cuticle Oil Review

Hey guys, so AHHH KILL ME I haven't put up a blog post in 3 days :( I am doing end of year exams atm and I dont really have time to blog but I've got 3 pre-written I guess you could call it! I wanted a cuticle oil that would last a long time, smell nice and be cheap, and as soon as I saw the Naio one I added it to my shopping basket straight away!

This is what it looks like on my nails :) its really hydrating and the vanilla scent lasts a while

This is what the bottle looks like, its £2.52 for 15ml which is a really good deal if you ask me :D

NOTD: Gradient Nails

Hey guys so I am really sorry I havent put up a blog post in 2 days - I have got less than a month left of school and I'm really trying to get my grades up and also see a lot of my friends at the same time, that = not enough time to blog! But I got inspired by Sammy (Nailasaurus) 's blog, more specifically her gradient nails, which you can see here. She has a really easy method which i followed :)

I used a MUA pink polish which I have a blog post on (click here) and I used Essie Footloose for the darker colour, which I also have a blog post on (click here)
Sorry my cuticle is really dry, forgot to put some oil on it oopsie!

NOTD: Konad Style!

Hey guys this is my second blog post of the day! I made up for not putting one up yesterday :) I tried Konad stamping today and I really like how it turned out even though I didn't use Konad I used a cheaper dupe from Naio. It worked really well and I used the plate A40 if you're wondering.


For the base colour I used Barry M Indigo and for the silver design I used Barry M Silver Foil

Sorry this nail is so blurry, topcoat sucks sometimes


Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps Gel Nail Polish Review + Swatch

Hey guys I'm so sorry I didn't put up a blog post yesterday I was literally so busy (i know that's such a bad excuse) but I'm gonna do a post today! yay! I've honestly been waiting to get my hands on a hard as wraps nail polish for EVER and I finally ordered one on amazon and I LOVE IT!

This is what the polish looks like on my nails, it honestly feels really thick like gel and I really like that about the polish. 
I got the clear top coat version but you can wear it alone as well
It makes my nails look really healthy and feel strong and my nails didn't peel while i had this on. I read lots of reviews which said the polish was quite thick to apply, but my bottle is quite normal :) yay

Naio Ridgefiller Review + Swatch

Hey guys so I have a bunch on upcoming Naio posts because I recently bought quite a bit of stuff from there! I bought this ridgefiller because I have never had a ridge filler before and ever since I used to buff my nails all the time about 2 years ago my nails have had loads of ridges, so don't buff your nails it doesn't really help with ridges at ALL, it makes them worse. I wanted to try the OPI ridge filler but it is so expensive (£10.50 in the UK) and Naio had one for £2.52, so I couldn't say no!

These are my nails without any products on at all, my nails always split and are really uneven at the tips, even though the picture didn't really show that at all! And for some reason my pinky finger nail is so ridge-y! 
These are my nails after I put the ridge filler on, as you can hopefully see they are much smoother and even, and this works amazing as a base coat it really makes polish go on much more even and smoother :)

Before (left) and after (right)


Overall I really recommend this product, I mean £2.52 for 15ml of product is such a good deal. I used 1 coat on my nails :) And sorry for another Naio post, I will have 1 more and then its going to be other brands! And I have a whole bunch of new nail care products to review :) comment please it will make my day (im so sad)

NOTD: Pink Multi Glitter

Hey guys I realised I haven't done a NOTD post since April! That's cray cray! That's like 2 months! I honestly don't even know why I didn't post one, I've always got nail polish on on the weekend so you will see a NOTD every Saturday/Sunday depending on if I'm busy or not. And I made a silly little day in the life video of myself for fun a few months ago and I noticed I had this nail polish look on in it and it is so super pretty!



I used Rimmel I <3 Lasting Finish Nail Polish in Hot Shot and Rimmel I <3 Lasting Finish Nail Polish in Disco Ball which is a purple blue and silver glitter polish. It is gorgeous paired over any polish! If you want to see what this polish looks like over black polish click here and I also have swatches of hot shot and disco ball by themselves here

Naio Instant Nail Brightener Review + Swatch!

Hey guys I'm so sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days, I've honestly been soooo busy with school and I went to a couple of birthday parties etc. But I'm back!! Well I am going to prefilm some videos and pre-write some blog posts for the upcoming school week because I am so busy while I have school. But I'm breaking up from school on the 20th July :( which is so far away but In the summer I'm gonna post every other day!

Anyways I bought a lot of stuff from Naio recently, which if you didn't know, its a sort of online nail supply store. I love their products and I wanted to try some more! I needed a nail brightener because my nails are so stained from swatching polishes.

This is what it looks like on my nails. It makes my nails look so bright and doesn't have a super shiny finish so its not too noticeable.

This is before (left) and after (right) as you can tell my nail looks a lot healthier!

Overall I really recommend it I got the 6ml bottle and it was only £1 something - I forgot! I used 1 coat.

Rimmel Lycra Pro French Manicure Review + Swatch!

Hey guys so I haven't put up a blog post in a few days so I thought I would do a NOTD/Review as I am wearing this polish now :) So I bought this specifically for french manicures but then at my school they started telling people off for white tips so I just wear this by itself and it makes my nails look healthy and strong!

Purple and Gold Duochrome Nail Polish

Hey guys so I bought this M&S Limited Collection nail polish and as soon as I saw it I died momentarily, it was GORGEOUS! And it was on sale for only £2.63 - come on! I couldnt say no!! It is a lilac duochrome! :)


It is the perfect balance between lilac and gold, but its a bit sheer I had to use 3 coats for the photo. But it dries very shiny, so no need for a topcoat! I wore this to my uncle's birthday party and got loads of compliments on it, its definitely eye-catching!

Favourite Neutral/Nude Nail Polish!

Hey guys so yesterday I bought a bunch of nail polishes and one of them was a No7 nail polish in So Simple its a nude colour. I've been eyeing it for a while and when I got a £5 off voucher I couldn't pass it up! This is my first nude nail polish, hopefully I'll be buying more!


This nail polish is perfect for my skin tone, I am going to be wearing it a lot for school because it makes my nails look really healthy and just pretty! I used 2 coats for the photo and it's quite pigmented I thought it would take like 5 coats, but nope! It retails for £7.00 a bottle but I always use a £5 voucher so only £2 for me! :)

Barry M Denim Nail Polish Review

Hey guys so I want to do a blog post every day this week, but then I just realised that I didn't put one up yesterday :O I honestly thought I had. Urg my brain is so annoying sometimes. Anyways today I went shopping and bought 5 new nail polishes (not that much) but its a lot for me seeing as i never buy nail polishes any more. I saw this nail polish on ThePolishAholic's blog and I needed to buy it!


It literally looks like denim - Its amazing! It dries matte which I wasn't expecting, I like it matte but I think ill add a topcoat because me + shine = perfect match. I only used 1 coat for the photo, its super pigmented !! Don't know if it chips or not yet seeing as i have only been wearing it for a few hours =D It was £2.99 from Superdrug but you can also order it from the Barry M Website.

MUA Nail Polishes Swatches + Review!

Hey guys so here I am with another blog post *hooray* second day in a row! And tomorrow I'm gonna put up a NOTD  :) I really am loving blogging everyday but it will probably only last this week because its my half term. Anyways I bought these MUA polishes nearly 1 year ago.... and I never used them. I don't know why, it's probably because they are really cheap. But they are actually quite good quality!

My OPI Nail Polish Collection + Swatches!

Hey guys I KNOWWW I haven't blogged in ages... I went out of town for 3 days and my nails have also been completely disgusting and they just started to look better. I'm also trying out Photoscape editor and swatching colours on all of my nails instead of one or a swatch. . I also added a FAQ tab and deleted my NOTD tab. Comment below if its better or not.Anyways I only have 4 polishes to swatch today but they are super pretty!
                           




This is OPI Russian Navy. Its a navy polish with tiny flecks of red blue and purple. I used 1 coat, and sorry about my manky cuticle :P


This is OPI Rumples Wiggin. It is my favourite polish ever its a light lavender colour but it looks way lighter on camera. I used 2 coats


This is OPI Teenage Dream I don't think you can get it anymore as its part of the Katy Perry Collection. I LOVE THIS POLISH its got chunky monkey glitters, that are pink and silver but they turn rainbow in the light! 

Doesn't the word rainbow make you think of the TV show from forever ago?!?!


This polish is OPI Up Front and Personal. Its one of my favourites its a light gold shimmer polish. I used 2 coats. 

You can purchase OPI polishes online on amazon or (in the UK) I buy mine from Lena White or Selfridges stores.
