Hello! As discussed in my last post (my swatch catch up for April, post here), I have fallen a bit behind on my catch up posts. I've decided to still write them for the individual months and catch up chronologically. So next in line for today's post is April's nail art catch up. There are a few Easter themed designs here, so I apologise if those seem inappropriate now! Let's jump straight in!

Hi lovelies! You may remember The Cotton Bag Co's The Selfie Bag that I posted about a little while ago (if you missed it, find that post here). Well, today I have a similar kit from sister company Paper Bag Co. Paper Bag Co have created The Instagram Bag, a special bag with carefully curated items for those who love a good food photo! While I can't deny the odd food photo popping up in my camera reel, we all know there are many more nail pics there. Just like The Selfie Bag, The Instagram Foodie Bag also has some great items and tips for those perfect mani shots! Read on for a look at everything inside and more info.

Hi! When sitting down to do my swatch and nail art catch ups for May, I realised I never posted them for April! I have all of the photographs and everything ready and organised, but never ended up writing the actual post. So before I dive into May's swatches, I'm here to catch up with April's. Let's jump straight into it!

Hello lovelies! Today I have five Beau Polish neon polishes to share with you, all of which are joining the existing Brights Collection on Friday 1st July. These are perfect Summer shades, all inspired by beach parties. With the weather warming up (maybe too warm?!) recently, I've been absolutely loving these on my nails. I've also done a bit of nail art for each polish. Read on for my full swatches, nail art, and more info!

Hello lovelies! Today I'm back with a super quick post for you, showcasing another polish from Earthy Nail Polish. Earthy were kind enough to send me their polish 'Royally Red', a rich red perfect for the upcoming Jubilee. Similar to the previous polishes I have shared (see that post here), and all of Earthy Nail Polish's shades, the formula is certified to be of natural origin and is 85% bio-sourced. Read on for a closer look at 'Royally Red' and a Jubilee inspired mani.

Hi lovelies! Today I have a couple of polishes to share with you from UK brand Earthy Nail Polish. This is a new brand to me personally, and is the sister brand of Mother Nailture (another brand I have yet to try). All of their polishes are plant based, of natural origin, bio-sourced, and completely vegan. They also have the cutest (and sustainable!) bamboo caps that are naturally antibactieral and antimicrobial. I was sent three polishes to have a play with - read on for my full swatches, some nail art, and more info!

Hello lovelies! Today I'm back with another Glam Nails Challenge round up post. If you missed my mani's for March's prompts, you can find that post here. April's challenge had a few good Easter prompts which suited my recently purchased Clear Jelly Stamper plates perfectly - so of course I joined in! Read on for a closer look at my manis for each prompt.

The Abundance Collection consists of 5 creme shades and 1 fun glitter. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

Hello lovelies! As some of you may know, I decided to take part in this months Glam Nails Challenge. For those unfamiliar, Glam Nails Challenge is a monthly nail art challenge over on Instagram, with themes for every Wednesday and Sunday. I have taken part several times in the past, but not for quite some time - so I fancied giving it a go again! The challenge finished yesterday, so I figured I'd jump on here for a round up. Read on to see all my manis in full.

Hello lovelies! Today I have something a bit different for you. I was recently contacted and asked if The Selfie Bag by Cotton Bag Co. would be something I was interested in. The Selfie Bag is a fun printed canvas bag with a handy little photo kit inside. While this is geared mainly towards taking selfies (which I'm not one for if I'm honest), it is perfect for photographs in general. I have been thinking a bit lately about how to improve my nail photography, so it was definitely something I was interested in having a play with. Read on to see the full contents of The Selfie Bag, and some of my thoughts!

Hi lovelies! Today I'm back with my catch up post for the nail art I posted in February. If you missed my February swatch catch up post, you can read that here. While I did a fair bit of nail art over the last month, a lot of it has already been shared in my Valentines post (if you missed that, you can find it here), so I only have four manis to show you. Let's get stuck in!

Hello everyone! I'm back today with a super quick post to share all of the swatches I posted over on Instagram during January, but have yet to share on here.

Hello! It's time for my first blog post of 2022! I haven't blogged quite as much as usual in the past few months, but I am hoping return to more regular posts, including both swatch and nail art catch ups, collection swatches, and all the goodness I've neglected to share over here. To start us off, I'm here with my swatches of the China Glaze Holiday 2021 Jewels Royale Collection. I was tempted by these for a while, finally caving and grabbing the whole collection from Nail Polish Direct. Read on for my full swatches and more info!
