Danglefoot Nail Polish Sugar & Spice Collection

Hello! Today I'm back with swatches of Danglefoot Nail Polish Sugar & Spice Collection. This collection consists of four holographic jellies, and was actually a re-release (and re-formulation) of an old collection with the same name. I didn't pick any of these up the first time round, so couldn't miss them a second time! Read on for my full swatches and more info!

Anyone who knows me knows I love to name polishes, and the punnier the better! So here is 'You're Shrimply The Best'. Read on for my swatch and more info!

Sweet Treats Indie Box

Hello! Today I have the most recent UK Indie Box to share. This time around Lea from Sparklea Nail Polish hosted the box, while Hayley over at Danglefoot Nail Polish is busy with her newborn. The two brands both contributed a polish each, and were joined by Sarah from Wikkid Polish. Also in the box were some sweeties (of course!), and a sachet of bath salts from Twa Burds Soaps.

Madam Glam One Step Gels - Swatches & Review

*Press Sample*
Hello! Today I have an exciting post - my first gel polishes! The brand Madam Glam offered me some of their gels to swatch and review. As I have never used any before, they were kind enough to send me not only three gel polishes, but both an LED lamp and a peel off base coat. They have also given me a discount code for you all which I will share at the end. Read on for my full swatches and to find out more!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Beach or Animal Silhouettes

Hello! Today I'm back with my first 26 Great Nail Art Ideas mani for July. If you missed the last prompt, 'Going on Holiday', you can find my post here. This time the theme is 'Beach or Animal Silhouettes'. I had ideas for both options, but ended up going with the beach look below. Read on to find out more!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Beach or Animal Silhouettes @acertainbeccaa

I started with a base of ILNP 'Birthday Suit', a nude base full of small holographic flakes. This is from the Summer 2017 collection. I don't normally tend to go for nudes, but the flakes are so pretty, and it really reminds me of sand.

I then created a sort of layered french tip using the wave image from the Uberchic Beauty Mermaid Life stamping plate. I triple stamped the image on the tips of my nails - first using Painted Polish 'Boating in Blue Jeans', then Hit The Bottle 'Snowed In', and finally with MoYou London 'Turquoise Mint'.

I then stamped the 'She Dreams of the Ocean' wording (and the dolphin underneath if you can spot him!) from the Mermaid Life  plate onto my middle finger using 'Boating In Blue Jeans'. I also added a pair of flip flops from Uberchic plate 2-03 onto my ring finger using Painted Polish 'Stamped in Coral 2.0'.

What do you think? I was tempted to leave these with just the wave stamping on my tips, but I just couldn't resist adding more. It's been getting hot again these past few days, so it's definitely been a well timed theme! I'll be back in two weeks time with the next one, 'Sunshine'.

Hope to see you in the next post!
