Essie Advent Calendar 2017 - Days 1-7

Hello lovelies! Today I have the first week of Essie's 2017 advent calendar to share with you. My boyfriend's mum was lovely enough to gift this to me, and I couldn't have been more excited! Instead of trying to share the contents daily, and to avoid too many spoilers, I've decided to split the goodies into four weekly posts. So let's see what was inside between the 1st and 7th of December!

November MeeBox - Through the Looking Glass

Hello! It feels like a while since last months MeeBox (see my post here), but I'm back with a look at November's 'Through The Looking Glass' box. I absolutely love everything Alice in Wonderland, especially nail related, so although I did expect at least one dupe (as we knew we were getting a MoYou London stamping plate), I couldn't risk missing Alice goodies! Read on for my full swatches and a look at everything inside!

Nicole Diary Stamping Plates

*Press Sample*

Hello! Today I have some stamping plates from Nicole Diary to share with you. The brand was kind enough to send me five of their stamping plates - two from Harunouta, and three from Nicole Diary themselves. All five are completely different in terms of theme and image sizes, so I'm going to show them all individually. I've also created a nail art look with each one. Read on to see my manis and for more info!

Hello lovelies! Today I have swatches of more polishes from Chicago Polish Con, this time in the form of a Glisten & Glow Duo. 'Shiny in Chi' and 'Shifty in Chi' were paired together at a great price at the convention, so they were a no brainer for me!

Danglefoot Nail Polish Tearjerker Cremes Watermarble

 *Contains Press Samples*

Hi lovelies! Today I have a super quick post for you. After swatching the Danglefoot Nail Polish Tearjerks Collection (post here), I couldn't resist testing if the three cremes watermarbled - and they do! After painting a white base, I made rings of all three ('Littlefoot's Mum', 'I Love you Always, Time is Nothing', and 'I'll Never Let Go Jack'), drew a quick pattern, and dipped my nails in. Here's the finished look!

What do you think? Considering this is only my second water marble attempt, I'm very happy with how it turned out! If you weren't convinced on these three cremes, you have no excuse now!

The Danglefoot Nail Polish Tearjerkers Collection is available here.

Hope to see you in the next post!
