26 Great Nail Art Ideas 'Your Signature Style'

Hello! I'm back, and very jetlagged. I still have a couple of old posts to share, but I will show you some of my polish con goodies soon! Todays post is the last 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt, 'Your Signature Style' (see my post for 'Autumn' here). My signature style seems to be taking over a year to use a polish. I bought Cupcake Polish 'Chicago' a good two years ago to wear on one of my US trips, and only just did so for this years Chicago Polish Con. Read on for more info!

Nine Zero Lacquer 'A Night With The Cats'

Hi lovelies! Continuing on with my old swatches, today I have Nine Zero Lacquer 'A Night With The Cats' to share. The lovely Amy from NailPolish BabyyNinety (@nailpolishbabyy90 on Instagram) was kind enough to send me this in a swap  a  few months ago. It was the polish that called to me the most from Jess's Valentine's Day Trio, so I couldn't wait to try it. Read on for my swatch and more info!

Swatch My Untrieds - Barry M

Hello! Today I'm back with another swatch my untrieds post that was never posted, this time full of Barry M polishes. The first polishes I ever purchased for myself were from Barry M, so I definitely consider them my 'gateway' brand - as well as my favourite drugstore/mainstream brand, if not my favourite overall. I have well over 100 Barry M polishes, including numerous untrieds. Read on for full swatches of four of them!

Sponged Glitter Gradient (MeeBox Polishes)

Hello! Today I have another old mani to share, using two of the polishes from February's MeeBox - if you missed my original posts for the box, you can see my swatches here, and nail art look here. I really liked how the three polishes worked together, so couldn't resist trying a quick glitter gradient with two of them. Read on for more info!

Swatch My Untrieds - Deborah Lippmann

Hello! As previously mentioned, while I am away in the US, I do not have any guest posters. Instead I am using the time to clear out my drafts.

Today I have a look at my one and only Deborah Lippmann polish, continuing the Swatch My Untrieds series I started (months ago!) here. Read on for my swatch and more info!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas 'Autumn'

Hello! Today I have my mani for 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt 'Autumn'. If you missed the last prompt, you can find my post here. I initially planned to do just leaves for this theme. However after doing one nail it reminded me of the short film Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. Kirsty (FairyTales Nails) agreed, and I decided to add a red balloon to complete the look.

Painted Polish Beauty & The Beast Inspired Ballroom Duo

Hello lovelies! Today I have my swatches of the Painted Polish Ballroom Duo. The duo is made up of two ultra holographic shades inspired by the ballroom scene in Beauty & The Beast. I am a massive Disney fan, so picked these up as soon as they hit Rainbow Connection. To me both polishes were more Autumn shades, so I've waited until now to share them. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas 'Dotting Tools, But Not Just Dots'

Hi! Today I'm back with the next 26 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt, 'Dotting Tools, But Not Just Dots'. If you missed my post for 'The End of Summer' theme, you can find that here.
