Second post in a week! This is practically unheard of. Tonight I have a review of Morgan Taylor’s ‘Little Misfit’, from the Glam Rock collection, plus what I am terming some oil-slick-y nail art. Blog post!

I’m reviewing Morgan Taylor ‘Polished Up Punk’ from the Glam Rock collection on my blog tonight…with nail art, obviously. Usually I’d say more stuff but why is it 3am already?!

A wee Scottish-ish (tartan & Argyle) skittle mani for Burns’ night. My blog post also includes a review of Born Pretty Store’s striping tape - you can use my discount code, HZL91, if you’d like to purchase anything from the BPS shop.

More importantly(!) our haggis burst while it was cooking…so no Burns’ supper for us! I am pretty devastated right now.

Nail art! Yeah! I’m calling these Baroque ‘n’ Roll…at least I amuse myself. Also I really like these nails.

There is a glut of photos and all the information about what I used blah blah blah on my blog.

P.S. Thanks to all the people who are still here despite me not posting in a wee while!

Hiii! I’m so pleased I finally have some new nail art to share! I haven’t worn leopard print nails in the longest time but I still love them and weirdly, I’ve really enjoyed sporting some neutral colours. So out of character. The neon studs probably make up for it, though, right? You can find a full review of the studs on my blog, along with more details about this mani and a discount code! Woo!

Leaving for the airport in circa four hours and I am absolutely not ready, but here’s a super speedy blog post anyway! Also, I will love this shade of blue FOR EVERRR!

Really enjoying wearing this mini messy floral design - I feel like it’s cute without being toooo cute, if you know what I mean? Inspired by the pattern on a wee H&M dress I’ve had for years. More info & photos on the blog. Hope you’re all having a splendid weekend!

‘Blue Ikat Beach Tote’ nails…catchy name, AMIRIGHT?! Inspired by this bag. More info in my blog post - including on the polishes used, both of which I LOVE. Also…help me think of a better name for this design?!

Polish Recommendations?

Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:53:23 +0100

Hiya pals! I feel that red, orange and pink polishes are somewhat under-represented in my collection, especially opaque cremes - do you have any favourites? Which polishes should I be on the lookout for?

Say hello to my first ever swatch post! HIYA MAGICAL MERMAID NAILS. This is Seventeen (by Boots) ‘Cameo Crush’ - two coats, no top coat. Nail art is still absolutely my mainstay, but I loved this polish too much not to share it and I think it deserves to have attention lavished upon it!

‘Leopard’ print nails…Giant Leopard Moth, that is! I’m telling you, this is going to be THE hot thing in animal print…

MINIOOONS! Was already wearing Illamasqua’s Blow when I found out we were going to see Despicable Me 2 (finally!) this weekend so I couldn’t resist jumping on that bandwagon!

Thumb Minion features in my blog post (it’s very brief!).

Sooo…I reviewed these spikes for BornPretty and you can read all about it on my blog but the short version is I LOVE THEM. They make me feel a bit wild haha. Also this blue is Nails Inc Belgrave Place and it is so beautiful - I don’t know why I don’t wear it more often. OH and there is a 10% BPS discount code on my blog, too, so please feel free to take advantage of that!

Picked up the Color Club Fiesta Collection from TK Maxx recently and I diiig it! Here I used Endless Summer, Sunrise Canyon & Wild Cactus. I was surprisingly impressed by the top coat that comes with the collection, too. These kind of make me wish I was back on holiday, haha. BLOG POST.

I painted my nails AND it was sunny enough to take photos! I almost abandoned this design just after I’d started but I am so very glad I didn’t because I really like how they turned out. Also, no photograph will even do Nubar’s Violet Sparkle justice because it is MAGNIFICENT, but there are plenty more photos on my blog if you’d like to see my attempts:

Feelin’ Hot Hot Hot! I am feeling these spicy little chilli (/chili) pepper nails! Also I now can’t singing/dancing along to this song which is playing in my head, haha. Ole, oleee, ole, oleee…

Hello lovelies! Just a quick note to let you know that I am about to change my Tumblr url to NailCake, so that it matches my blog. You should not have to do anything, but I wanted it to be clear that NailCake is (or will be) me! :)
