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!

How To: Gradient Nails

By
Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!

Make Sure You Follow!

By
Hey everyone! Apologies for the lack of yesterday's post- unfortunately this one if going to be the last before I go away tomorrow. I'm not 100% sure if there'll be wifi at the place we're staying (we're going to study the animals after all, not to be social over the internet), but just in case there is, you should make sure that you're following me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook! I'll try to post at least one image or update on each per day, assuming that we have wifi, so to be a part of this adventure, make sure you hit the buttons!

GoT: A Song of Ice and Fire

Hey everyone! So today is a very exciting post. That is... it's the start of a new post series! Behold, for on Wednesdays... The Fandoms Strike Back In other words, I'm one of those people who likes to obsess over some TV shows, movies and books, and totally wish they were all real so I could live in them... I mean, sometimes the real world just seems so dull .  To begin with, I thought I'd kick it off with a bang... Game of Thrones!
