From Warsaw with Love

(Scheduled) greetings from Peru, hope you're all well peeps:)

I have lined up today the lovely From Warsaw with Love by H&M - a lush purple with blue and red shimmer.

The photos don't do this justice - they also emphasise the slight bald patch at the bases that I missed (doh!) - but I really like this polish. It takes a while to dry but the shimmer (blue in some lights, red in others) is more visible IRL. Besides, who doesn't love a good purple? x

Did I Tell You - there's going to be Sunshine!

Hey guys, this is another glitter-tastic baby from my recent haul. 

This is the lovely Did I Tell You by H&M - my goodness, they're selling some stunners at the moment. I painted it (easily, no placing, good smooth application) over one of my older polishes, Sunshine by Rimmel.

 Ps - this is a scheduled post, so please don't be offended if I don't reply to any comments.

Haul! Whoop whoop!

Oooooooh I was naughty yesterday; whilst buying up what felt like EVERYTHING in the Bullring ready for my trip on Saturday, I *accidently* found a few polishes:)

Boots were spoiling me with their amazing 3 for 2 offer, so I HAD to buy some Models Own babies. I've been looking for Pink Punch (below, middle) to complete my neon ice collection, so had to get that, and then I saw Sunset Chillout (right) and Bora Bora (left) - swatches soon:) 

Honestly, Bora Bora makes me think of a gorgeous sandy beach after a few cocktails lol:)

Then, whilst trying to resist t-shirts with pugs on in H&M (quite difficult given my pug love, but deemed non-essential for mountain climbing) I found these bad boys. 

The stunning purple is called From Warsaw with Love, the glitter-bomb baby is called Did I Tell You? I love how H&M use such cute names, and I have to say it took all my will power to only buy these two, they're really upping the polish standards:) 

Swatches soon peeps, am applying between typing lol:)

Orange and blue tribal nails

Happy Monday peeps!

Today's manicure is from a few weeks ago, not sure why I didn't post it, but here we go..........orange and blue tribal nails:) 

Apologies for the photos, they're a little dark aren't they? Odd. Anyhoos, for these I seem to remember I painted a base of Barry M White, then added H&M Blue My Mind and Barry M Block Orange. I used my Barry M and Models Own nail art pens for the detail:) Happiness. 

P.s - don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin if you're not already:) 

Black and white stripes over Blue My Mind

Hey hey, sorry about the rubbish title for this post, couldn't think of a better way to describe my latest effort:) This design is nicked from the WAH Book of Nails, I've been wanting to do it for ages, and I'm so chuffed with the colour scheme.

The blue is Blue My Mind by H&M, the white is Matt White by Barry M and the black is my trusty striper from Models Own. Is there any design that this blue doesn't look good in? 

Swatch - H&M Blue My Mind

Hola amigos,

I cannot take my tribal nails off, partly because I'm finding it hard to do much except stare at them and grin! So I thought I'd take this chance to show you the base colour in more detail. This is Blue My Mind (ooooooh, I love a good name!) from H&M. Now, a lot of Dutch blogs seem to be massively keen on H&M polishes, but I'd never tried them before. So when I went into my local branch the other day I was intrigued, but not desperate to buy any.

Then I saw this colour.

Oh I love it.

 I love the colour, so eye-catching and bright. 

I love the texture, buttery soft and creamy. 

I love the way it dries quickly.

I love the way it dries glossy.

I love the name, it shows they care.

I love the fact that it's almost neon!

I've got to go, I'm going to take polish out to dinner, then I think I might pop the question lol:)

Blue and grey tribal nail art feat H&M Blue My Mind

Hi de hi peeps,

Thanks so much to so many of you for your lovely words about Monty and Smoky, much appreciated, and one of the reasons I love blogging; you guys:)

Anyhoo, enough soppy stuff lol - here is my favourite manicure of ALL TIME!!! I was feeling the urge to do something intricate again and remembered how much I enjoyed designing and rocking tribal nails last summer. I was also desperate to use my newest polish, Blue My Mind from H&M, so here we go..........

 Arggggggggggggggggggggh, I love, love, love, love, love, love, love them:) I'm so pleased with them. I took photos of all the polishes I used simply as an excuse to show them off even more!

I used H&M Blue My Mind as a base (swatch coming soon) and then used striping tape and some free handing to add details using Rimmel Grey Matter, Barry M Raspberry and Gold Foil Effects and my Models Own Black nail art pen. 

I actually can't take this off, I love it so much - so the next few days will give me a chance to upload some older swatches lol:) Have a great week peeps, toodle pip!
