Butter London - Lovely Jubbly

This is the first Butter London polish i have purchased. I'm really impressed with it, it's such a different glitter, i've not come across anything similar.

Lovely Jubbly is a red, gold, purple and blue glitter in a magenta base. It really is Lovely Jubbly,  it's really sparkly and pretty.  I applied this glitter on top of Accessorize one coat Amethyst then applied 2 coats of Lovely Jubbly. This is my second favourite glitter, just below Deborah Lippmans Mermaid's Dream.

The only thing i dislike about this and other glitter polishes is the time it takes to remove them!! the foil method is a must of these type of glitters.

Lime Crime and Nubar

I rarely seem to use Lime Crimes Milky Ways as it tends to look plain on its own. So i went through my collection and choose Nubars Hollywood Pink to use as a stamping polish. I really wasn't sure how this would turn out as i hadn't used this polish for stamping before and i could barely see it on the stamper. But after really taking my time the turned out ok, it's not one of my favourites but still looks good.

I used konad plate m60 then finished with Rimmels Matte top coat

Revlon Scented Polish - Not so Blueberry

Out of the whole collection of scented polishes this is the only one i own, and the smell is just simply AMAZING!!!

I was first drawn to this polish as it was a gorgeous lilac (my favourite colour) not realising it was scented until that even when i painted my nails. Even with a coat of seche on top the smell was still there. It's such a nice sweet smell that the whole time i was wearing it i couldn't help but keep smelling my nails!!

The colour is a Lilac/Silver foil that also slightly shimmers in the sun.

No7 Haul

I went No7 voucher mad at the weekend :-). The current vouchers run out while i'm away on holiday so i was determined to use all of them. Other then the nail polish, i've used them all quickly but not enough to give a review just yet.

I bought:
  • Damson Dream nail polish
  • Exceptional Definition Mascara
  • Cocooning Body Balm
  • Revitalising Hand Saviour
  • Softening Foot Balm
  • Nourishing nail and cuticle care cream

I'm looking forwarding to giving them all a good try. I've taking the mascara, foot balm and cuticle cream on holiday with me, so once i'm back i can give a good review of those products.

No7 Damson Dream

I love when Boots release there money off of there No7 range, i have so many of there products that i love. However i wont buy most of them when they are at full price as i dont think they are worth that amount of money however when there is £5 off i'll pick up as many as i can afford.

One of the many products i picked up over the weekend was this no7 Damson Dream polish. It looks like such a gorgeous colour in the bottle, it is a shimmery dark purple/red. When the sun was out the colour looked really pretty on my nails. However the down side was the polish was slightly watery so i found myself having to apply 4 coats to get a nice even colour with made the polish chip easily :-(
I bought the polish for £2.50 using my £3 off voucher, however i wouldn't pay the full £5.50 price for it because of how watery it is and the chipping, though i do really love the colour.

China Glaze + Stamping

I've once again used China Glaze Foie Gras for the base of this stamping as i love the colour so much. I used Konad plate m64 and konad white. I really do like this pattern


I'm making the most of my nails looking like this as tomorrow i will be getting my nails shellac'ed for holiday. I don't know how i am going to cope with the same coloured nails for over a week!!!!
