Sorry this picture is blurred but basically I really like this product, it was £4.99 at super drug which is quite expensive, probably buying pure acetone and a nail art brush would be cheaper in the long run but oh well.

NOTD: Nude Sparkles
Hey guys so I'm actually doing this post at 9:31am in the morning!! Today I woke up super early, 5:30am to be precise! So I'm trying to be really productive today :) I made a really long to-do list today to complete and I recommend if you want to be really productive make a to-do list with all the little things you have been procrastinating (for example cleaning your makeup brushes!) and list them in order to complete and it just plans out your day and makes it so much easier!
For a base colour I used Barry M Nude which I have 2 blog posts on here and for the glitter I used OPI teenage dream which I have another post on here.
I did 2 coats of the Barry M nude polish and a really light coat of teenage dream :) I got inspired by one of missglamorazzi's pictures on instagram. You can purchase Barry M Nude here and OPI teenage dream here
Thanks for reading xoxo

NOTD: Lavender Cupcake by NYC
Hey guys I'm bloggging quite late tonight, I've felt sick all day and I just haven't been in the mood for blogging :( but I have been on a roll recently with 1 blog post a day and I didn't want to stop it. And yh I took the pics literally just now and its late so that explains the bad lighting ;( normally I use natural lighting WHICH ROCKS.
It is such a pretty lavender colour <3 its my favourite colour so as soon as I saw it I had to buy it
Sorry for the grainy-ness :( that's why I prefer taking pics in natural light
As you can see its a NYC Expert Last Nail Polish and it claims in lasts up to 7 days, I've worn it for 3 days (which is good for me, I normally paint my nails everyday) and I have noticed no chipping apart from the free edge which isn't very noticeable. It is a creme finish - and i used 2 coats. Oh and pick it up NOW in Superdrug, all NYC products are under £2.50 which is AMAZING!
Thanks for reading xoxo

Polka Dot Nails | Orange | Nail Art
Hey guys this is the second post in the 'polka dot nails' series! I was going to do a NOTD of this orange polish but I thought it would be a bit boring so I decided to jazz up my nails with some polka dots!
The orange nail polish is Jesses Girl JulieG Collection 'Beauty Guru' which you can purchase here. Check out JulieG on youtube here, she has really good makeup, nail and fashion videos!
Yes, my polish smudged! Im awful with waiting for my nails to dry, so I always have dents and smudges on my nails. I did a stripe of medium sized black polka dots. You can purchase the dotting tools here for £3.99!

Polka Dot Nails | Pink | Nail Art
Hey guys this is going to be my first post on the 'polka dot nails' series :) I'm excited! Polka dots are such an easy way of transforming a nail look. *Fun fact* my nails are wet as I am typing this lol. I will have a NOTD of the polish I am wearing right now up soon.
This is the complete nail look. For the pink I used Rimmel I <3 lasting finish in #270 Hot Shot. And for the black I used Barry M Nail Paint in #47 Black. To make the polka dot effect I used dotting tools which you can get here.
As you can see there are bubbles in the nail polish, thats what happens when you shake a polish :/
The Rimmel and Barry M Polishes are £2.99 I think and the dotting tools are £3.99. The design is super quick, it took me about 2 minutes!!

NOTD: Pink Grapefruit
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting everyday, it has been SUPER hot in England so I decided to take advantage of that and go out with friends, go shopping and tan etc. But today I am going to have a chill day of blogging :) I wore this polish for about 3 days which is really good for me because I normally change my nail colour everyday.
It is literally SUCH a pretty colour just looking at it makes me want to paint my nails with it again :P It is the perfect summer pink, its not too HOT pink, but still pink. Its like a pinky-red.
Yes, there is a dent at the tip of my nail, I am AWFUL I always dent my nails while I attempt to wait for them to dry.And YAY finally my cuticles are hydrated on a swatch! They normally look so gross :P If you want to know what cuticle oil I use click here.

NOTD: French Tip Manicure
Hey guys so at school we aren't allowed polish but we seem to get away with french tips so I decided to do my nails :) And if you're wondering how I have the time to do blog posts everyday this week, I'm writing them all on Sunday so I can just put them up every day :D I hope that's not cheating! Today was my English exam, but it was surprisingly easy :) not that you care.
This is what they look like, and if you want to see my nails when I do a thick french tip click here

My Polish Collection
Hey guys, yes its been 4 days since my last post *sigh* I don't really have an excuse. Anyways this video has been the hardest video to upload ever. Ok, here's how it went down. I filmed this video last week and edited it and I had it ready to upload. I went to upload it on Thursday but it said it would take like 65 mins and I didn't want to wait that long because when I upload my Internet doesn't work on any other websites for some reason. So I tried uploading it yesterday and I left it 1 hour to upload and it still didn't upload so today I just left it to upload and it took 2 AND A HALF HOURS for a 5 MINUTE VIDEO. Its actually ridiculous. But its finally uploaded and I'm happy with it. Also did I mention, I talk in this video!!
Video on DulceCandy87's channel on how to make a polish rack like mine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg6f31JCLgM&feature=plcp

This is what the bottle looks like. The colour is number 37

NOTD - Baby Pink
Hey guys so Elle and Blair Fowler (juicystar07 and allthatglitters21) on youtube always have the prettiest baby pink nail polish on and since I dont have the one they use (OPI Sweetheart) I thought I'd share a dupe with you all :)
I used 3 coats of No7 Pinky Pure to achieve this look. Its £7 at any boots store :D
Monday Spam! Fearne Cotton Nail Polish Review + Swatch
Hey guys, I know, its been 2 days and I havent posted! I keep saying this but im SO BUSY with school its actually ridiculous. And i wont be filming any videos for my YouTube channel for a while since it is quite time consuming, and I need all the study time I can get :) Anyways I got these nail polishes literally about 2 years ago as a gift and I never used them, so I thought i'd swatch 'em
If you want to see swatches of all these polishes, keep on reading! :) And these nail polishes dont have names FYI.
Its been so long since i've properly blogged and swatched I keep forgetting what to do haha :) This is a really pretty light red creme polish
This polish is a SUPER PRETTY blue purple duochrome with hints of red
This is a basic silver polish, it dries kind of matte-ish
This is a bright navy blue polish with subtle light blue shimmer
This colour reminds me of Christmas. Its a dark red semi shimmer polish :)
Overall I really like these colours, I don't think you can still purchase them but I still thought they would be a good blog post. The formula to all of them was good, I used 2 coats for each swatch
