I know I'm pretty late to blog about these but I've only just recently got them. As you're all aware, I'm a huge fan of the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints, and I'm even more excited about them since they added 3 new colours to their range - Sugar Apple (soft mint), Rose Hip (pale baby pink) and Huckleburry (it could be Huckleberry but I have no idea...it's a pale baby blue, that's all I know).

These shades are so sweet yet wearable. Perfect for work as they're so classic! I actually wore Huckleberry to work a few weeks back and I received so many compliments for it, with people thinking I'd had a gel manicure (yet again)! I'm practically a walking advertisement for Barry M, what can I say...

I just adore all three colours, they remind me of macarons (that I am yet to try. Sigh.) and ice cream. Aaaaand now I'm hungry...

What is your favourite shade?

This week I opted for Beanie & Pink Grapefruit that are both from the No7 Stay Perfect range. Beanie is a brown-purple kinda colour and Pink Grapefruit is a hot pink. I wore Beanie on all my nails except my ring finger, where I wore Pink Grapefruit to add a splash of colour to my nails

This week it's actually a pedicure Monday, not manicure as I wanted to give my nails a little break. So I opted for Tropical Island from 17's Lasting Fix range, and as you can see it's a bright orange-dominant coral shade, I loooove it!



p.s. sorry for no post last Friday, it was my birthday yesterday so I was a little busy. Expect one this Friday though!

This week I decided to go back to an old obsession of mine - white nails. Now, I remember that I was in like year 8 when I started wearing white nail polish because Miley Stewart (alter-ego of Hannah Montana fyi) wore it and it looked fabulous on her. I always laugh when I reminisce about those days because there were these girls in my class that weren't nice at all, and they laughed when I first wore it. Yet, a few weeks later they were all rocking white nail polish. It wasn't funny when they wore it. Anyways, despite the nasty girls in my set, I continued to wear it but haven't worn it in yeeears. So, the other day when I was looking at my nail polish rack and spotted No7's Snowflake I thought I would go white and classic once again. And boy, do I love it!

These past couple weeks I've been on holiday, so I decided to go for two of my favourite shades - Passion Fruit (on my fingers) and Guava (on my toes) from the Barry M Gelly Nail Paint range (that I've written a review for here and here). I love the dark coral and deep ocean green shades, perfect holiday colours! Now that I'm home, just looking at the bottles makes me wanna go back to the sunny weather that I was experiencing just a mere 48 hours ago. Sigh.

Sadly the picture doesn't do the shades justice - the lighting was not on my side today!

Because of the upcoming New Year I thought that me (and my nails) should go in with a bang. That's why I chose Models Own's Disco Mix. It's enriched with two shades of glitter - one a royal blue and the other a rich purple. Colour-wise this has to be one of my favourite polishes all time, mainly 'cause i'm a total sucker for glitter if you didn't know already. The only downside is that it's gonna take me that extra few minutes to take it off, but it's definitely worth it hehe.



I hope you all have a fabulous New Years and I'm sorry for no post last friday - I've been super busy with a new project i'm very excited to tell you all about soon.

Yes I know it's Tuesday not Monday but I'm having a pampering day today because it's CHRISTMAS EEEEEVVVVVEEEEE! Despite how excited I sounded then I'm actually not excited at all. I'm a firm believer that without snow, you just can't feel Christmassy. It was the same as last year, we didn't get snow in Leeds until January and it was heeeeavy! So last year I wasn't in the Christmas spirit either, and that makes me sad because I love Christmas so much.

Although I'm not feeling Christmassy, Christmas is around the corner (one more sleep!!) and I thought I'd go all festive and opt for a cherry red polish in the form of No7s Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Devils Delight and then Barry M's Limited Edition Christmas Gold Nail Paint on my ring finger to add a touch of sparkle.





Oh, and I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas!

This week I've opted for this dark purpley-grey shade (funnily enough called Purple Grey) by Models Own as after I had Illamasqua's Collide on last time I thought it would be nice to mix it up and go for a contrasting colour.

I have a pretty vast collection of nail polishes that embarrassingly is three-figures, and yet I don't often paint my nails. Because of this, I decided to promise myself that every Monday I would get out my little pink and purple glittery toolbox, grab a shade that tickles my fancy and get painting!

This week, I thought I'd get away from the classic Autumnal colours and be a bit daring by sporting neon pink, yes, neon pink nails. I have two bottles of Collide because I got them in the Alter-Ego sets that Illamasqua kindly created for those with a weaker purse.

p.s. I would've shown you a picture of my nails but I've literally just smudged them, I'm not best pleased :(
