Mail: OPI Russian Navy Swatch!

By
Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a nice week off if you were off-school or work for the half term! And also a nice week off from reading my ramblings over here!
Today I'm kicking off November's posts with one of my favourite OPI's ever. Say hello to "Russian Navy"!



I actually hunted this polish out specifically whenever I saw OPI's being sold, after obtaining a mini of it for a Christmas present a few years back. I finally found it at an airport in Tenerife, and also got my Mam to pay! (yay!)

(Please note that the little bumps you can see in some of these pics, especially on my ring finger, are not part of the polish, but are bits of glitter that I accidentally failed to get off my nails from the last mani. Won't happen again! <3) 


Anyway, as you can see in the photos, it's a stunning, deep blue with flecks of purple and other blue shades when it catches the light. These flecks are caused by teeny tiny shimmer particles in shades of purple and red! They really help bring the polish to life! 
Here are three pics with the flash turned on to help you grasp the colour a little better.




The finish is smooth, shiny and sophisticated, with the very very very slight up-close shimmer. Application is super easy, all pics here are two coats, and removal was super duper quick!


You can (probably/hopefully) pick up a bottle from your local OPI stockist for around £11. 

Thank you for reading! I hope you love this colour as much as I do, and I shall see you very soon!

May Nails Round-Up!

By
Hey everyone! It's officially the 1st June- yay! That also means that it's the end of my exams (though good luck to anyone who is still cursed with them) and therefore the end of my first year at Uni, which is a little scary and quite a bit 'yippeeee'. It's had ups and downs but I made it to the end, which is the most important thing, right? Aaaaanyway... Since May is over this calls for a round-up of May nails I do believe! There's 9 manis to gawk at today, so I hope you like them and I look forward to seeing June's roundup already.

Swatch Watch: ILNP Masquerade

By
Welcome back! As promised, I have yet another swatch from ILNP to share with you today! I also realised that I should do my daily life spiel at the end of my posts so you don't end up reading an essay about my boring 'lil life and can skip straight to the good, juicy polishes. Speaking of juicy polishes... Just look at the reflection on this beauty. So. Wonderful.  And the colours! So many colours!! (Like Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat, this polish has two coats of many colours #musicalnerd).  Now we must note that it is not quite the "many colours" which can be found in the holo polishes, especially as they literally reflect rainbows of magic, but in this polish alone you can see a lime-green, gold, orange, purple, reddish-purple/burgundy (whatever you wanna call it), a dark-ish blue and some hues in between. The three images below show this transition, followed by this polish's wonderful Fact File! Fact File: Brand:  I Lov...
