The Good Nails

Hi everyone! I'm back today with another swatch and review (yay!) to share with you all! For some reason in the winter pretty much all I feel like wearing on my nails is blue: blue, blue, blue, blue, blue! Lately I have been blue MAD! But, today we are looking at a pink polish with a fabulous name, that as a lover of pink nail polish I thoroughly approve of: Pinkalot by Mud. Now this polish is kind of an odd one, it kinda had me a little confused: it's matte-ish and neon-ish which is kinda weird. But hey! It's pink! It's got a cool name and it's by Mud so I am excited to get into the review! Here we have this gorgeous hot pink shade that, I tell you, I fell in love with at first sight. It's such a pretty bright colour, so bright that I think it's almost neon, but not quite. It's just got a little pinch of neon. Just a tad. It's a great shade if you want something neon, but not super duper in your face bright. I don't know that I have really ...

Hey guys! How are you going? Today we will be once again be looking at a polish from the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel range! I have REALLY been looking forward to trying out this polish! And that is because I have a long history with this polish; I once saw it when I was on holidays and I was drawn to it like a magnet, I thought 'Ooh! Pretty polish! I like it',  and then I saw it again a few months later (a few weeks ago)  in the clearance bin (aka the best bin ever) and snatched it up for a bargain bin price! I was interested in this polish because a) it was pink, and b) it had some really pretty shimmer in there! So! This is I Lava You, by of course, Sally Hansen. This is a peachy pink polish with two kinds of shimmery shimmer; pink and gold. Out of the two shimmers, the gold definitely stands out better, the pink is kinds hiding a little bit; I think that it is because of the already pink base that it doesn't stand out quite as much. But still, it is a really pretty pol...

Hi guys! With very, very few days left until the commencement of Easter, we are left with very very few posts left till the final instalment of the Top Ten Nail Polishes to Wear this Easter series (info about this series stored here )! Am I excited for these last few posts? Definitely! Am I sad that it's ending? Yup! But, I am putting all of that aside for now and focusing on because currently I am very happy to be reviewing another polish from one of my favourite line of polish; the Colourstay Gel Envy line! We last looked at this line of polish a mere 2 posts ago, when I reviewed a pretty purple polish situated in position number 6 on this very list. Today we will be looking at a colour that you may or may not recognise as my very favourite colour; pink! Ooh! This here is Lucky in Love, and this can be classified as a bright pastel pink. Pastel colours and bright colours are really essential Easter shades, so combining both of those in one; that's gotta be pretty perfec...

Hello again everybody! Today I review my first Sally Hansen polish from the Triple Shine range. I wanted to do a swatch and review of something pink and pretty, because Valentines Day is coming up and this seemed perfect, so let's get into it. By the way, if you are looking for some pretty polishes for Valentines Day you can find some here . There it is, our pretty pink polish! This is called 'Pixie Slicks', it is a peachy-pink (is that a thing?) colour and wow, it is SHINY! But (damn I hate that word when it comes to pretty polishes) it takes a shocking four coats to build this nail polish to full opacity. GASP, there's a plot twist for ya'. I did a thin first coat and then three thick coats to build it up. Yep, shocking, I know. I also found the formula to be a little bit thin and runny. I have a fair few of these Triple Shine polishes, but I have never tried any of them before, so I am not sure how they perform in comparison to this.  Ooh! A rare pict...

Hey guys! What's going on? Today I bring you another swatch and review for a Sally Hansen nail polish. I love the way that there are sooo many different finishes, bottles, brushes and lines of nail polish which Sally Hansen creates. I think they really push the bottle (get it?) when it comes to releasing different lines of polishes. Today I will be reviewing a great example of this, Rose Copper from the Color Foil range. Mmh, look at that shiny, foily, chromey goodness! And I think that I just invented two new words! As far as I can tell, there isn't much nail polish on the market that has a finish similar to this. That's why I just love this. The coverage is really awesome, it was practically opaque in one coat, but I felt that I could see just a teeny lil' bit of nail line at some angles, so two coats is shown. Oh, also it dries super fast, like, super fast! The colour is called 'Rose Copper', but I think it's pretty much just a straight up rose gol...

Hello everyone! Here I am again with a swatch and review post! I haven't swatched anything since my top ten polishes for Christmas list, so this makes me very happy! I couldn't find this particular nail polish anywhere on the internet, so I think that it must be quite old. Please enjoy the swatch! This is "Pink Pearls"by Avon. The polish is a gorgeous light pink colour with a strong shimmer. It's has a pearlescent finish with a tad of nail line showing at three coats. While I love the finish and colour, the formula was very watery and the brush was sooo tiny, like even smaller than the old Essie brush which made the application even more difficult. Even at three coats, there are a few dark spots, which I attribute to the skinny brush. But the bottle, guys, THE BOTTLE. It's amazingly beautiful. Even if I didn't like this polish, I would keep it around just for the bottle, especially the cap! My overall thoughts on this polish is that if yo...
