Lockdown Nails.

 Good evening lovelies.

Hows everyone doing with the second lockdown? It is just me or does it feel completely different to the first one, i think it down to the weather, its dark and damp. A lot harder to go out and do things. I really enjoyed the first lockdown, i gave birth to Violet in April, we did so many house renovations, walks etc. This lockdown has affected my mood more than i thought it would. 

I feel like my choice of nail polish reflects that. I haven't worn black nail polish since i was a teenager when i went though my 'emo' stage. I forgot how much i love the look! This nail polish is Essie's 'Licorice'. I believe i got this is my Essie Advent Calendar a few years ago and i love it.  I've been wearing it for about a week now and nearly no chips!  

I'd love to know how you are coping with the second lockdown?

What have you been doing to keep spirits up?

Also I've made a depop shop! Here is my link if anyone is interested

Essie's Not Just A Pretty Face

Hello darlings.

Today post is just a quick one about a nail polish i've been enjoying recently. I'm not sure if i've already talked about this Essie polish on my blog before. Its called 'Not just a pretty face'. Its a beautiful nude pink, perfect colour for a natural nails. This colour is good if your in a rush, if you make a mistake its harder to notice. Also if it chips then its less noticeable. As the mum to a newborn with little time on my hands this is exactly the kind of polish i need. 

You can buy it here for £7.99. 

I'd love to know what is your go to nail polish?

NOTD: The Best Nude

Hello darlings.

I recently put up picture of my nails on Instagram (which you should be following, its perfect_fixation) and i loved them so much i though it's make a very brief impromptu blog post on them!

Essie's Not Just a Pretty Face

This Essie nail polish is a beautiful pinky nude that is very wearable all season round. Its the perfect sophisticated colour, perfect for work, university, school and days out. It only takes two layers to get it opaque, you could just leave it at one if you'd like it to be quite sheer but i prefer to layer it. Its a lovely formula that is long lasting, not as long lasting as Barry M nail polishes but still a decent amount of time. I have yet to be disappointed by Essie nail polishes, the quality and the colour selection is amazing. 

You can buy it here

I'd love to know have you tried this nail polish?

Or any of the other Essie ones?

Christmas Nails. 2015

Hello darlings.

Today post is a little nail of the day, this time a Christmas edition. They are not the most festive design but i thought red polish with a little glitter seemed appropriate! 

This L'Oreal Nail Polish in Scarlet Vamp is a new purchase (well i got it free with 3 for 2), its a gorgeous deep red. I applied this all over the nail (after i applied a Barry M base coat, my favourite one) Then i applied No7 Nail Polish in Disco Ball to one finger on each hand, to add a little glamour and make it a bit different.

I'd love to know what do you think of my nails?

Have you tried any festive nail polish this season?

NOTD Essie 'Fifth Avenue' | Perfect Fixations

Hello Darlings.

Today post is just a quick one, i'm sorry i'm not posting as regularly as i usually do, i'm just not very inspired and i don't want to put out low quality post that i'm just not putting effort into. But i painted my nails this morning and thought i'd share it with you. 

I hope you enjoy :)

This is Essie's 'Fifth Avenue' which is a beautiful burnt orange shade that it perfect for the Summer. I love Essie Nail polishes, they have a brilliant shade range, they last long on my nails without chipping and i love the brush, making it easy to apply!

I'd love to know do you like Essie Nail Polishes?

What do you think of this shade?

What summer nails are you loving at the moment?

NOTD | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today i have for you another nail of the day! 

This time i've gone for black from Barry M. Back in the day when i was a young teenager black would be the only colour i'd wear on my nails, that whole 'Gothic/Emo' phase that most of us went through. But i dug this one out and realised how much i loved it! I find black is so sleek and classy.

They are a little messy but thats nothing a cotton bud and my nail polish remover wont fix! :)

I'd love to know what nail polishes you're loving at the moment?

Hello darlings

Today post is another nail of the day. Recently i've been painting my nails more than usual, i think i'm using it as a distraction from my essays. I'm definitely the queen of procrastination! Anyway back to the nails! I've always wanted to try a matte nail polish so i picked up Barry M Matte last week in 'Vanilla'. Its not very season appropriate but i just loved the colour so i couldn't wait any longer to try it!  

I'd love to know have you tried any of the Barry M Matte polishes?

Hello darlings. 

Today i have for you my Nail of the day. I haven't really had a chance to paint my nails recently so i thought as i had a free afternoon i would pamper myself a little and this is the result.

I got this little No7 nail polish in my No7 advent calendar last year, its in the shade 'Deep Wine'.

Its this beautiful deep red that has slightly purple tone in the right light. I think its really pretty, perfect for this season and so happy i got it in the calendar. 

I'd love to know what nail polishes have you been loving lately?

Max Factor's 'Gel Shine Lacquer' Nail Polish.

Hello darlings 

Today i have for you quick post on a new nail polish i recently bought.

The one i picked up was Max Factor's 'Gel Shine Lacquer' I've never been a fan of gel nail polish but these looked really good so i thought i'd give them a go.

I got it in the shade 'Sheen Merlot' which is this beautiful burgundy red colour, perfect for autumn/ winter.  It only needs one coat, i put on two just out of habit. The product gives a lovely finish but not quite the gel effect i thought i was going to get but none the less its a beautiful nail polish. The brush was perfect size and made it easy to apply. Max Factor have produced a beautiful colour selection, i think there is a colour that would suit everyone.  

The only problem was it chipped after two days. It kinda sucked but next time i will put on a top coat.  The price is a little higher than i normally go for they are £6.99 each but were on sale for £4.99. (which i think has now ended)

Available from here

Have you tried any Max Factor 'Gel Sine Lacquers'? What did you think?
