Papaya - Barry M (Gelly Hi-Shine)

You can't beat Barry M when it comes to their shade range, and when it comes to the Gelly Hi-Shine, well enough said. So to celebrate what may just be the last little bits of sun before the dark nights set in and we all start to enter Autumn I thought I would brighten up my nails with Papaya.

October & November Favourites 2015

I apologise for my sporadic posts and long absences but as stated things at work have been so busy and I am currently on 8AM starts working in a Portacabin till after the New Year with no specific month when we can move back to our old building.

So to make up for that I am going to try and post everyday in December (operative word is try), and to kick us off is a double favourites post.

#ManiMonday: Dragster - Barry M

It's my favourite time of the week, even though it is Monday morning and it is back to work, I can always cheer myself up with #ManiMonday. So here is another Autumn edition for you from Barry M.

#ManiMonday: Aqua Violet - Models Own (Beetlejuice Collection)

I have had this floating around my stash for a while now, and I have finally got round to using it.

#ManiMonday: Park Ave - N.Y.C.

Welcome to an Autumnal #ManiMonday, and I start this off with N.Y.C. and Park Ave.

#ManiMonday - Treasure - B.Complete

Welcome to another #ManiMonday, and I welcome along B. Cosmetics and Treasure Chest

#ManiMonday: Splash of Grenadine - Essie

Welcome to another Summer edition of #ManiMonday, and I bring you Splash of Grenadine by Essie.

#ManiMonday: Caspian - Barry M

Welcome to another summery edition of #ManiMonday, and welcome Caspian from the Barry M Aquarium range.

This is a really nice gold duchrome that changes to pink in certain light. This isn't normally my kind of shade as I find gold shades can wash me out, but this one looked rally great on the nails.

The polish applied well and was quite opaque on first application, but a second coat was added to make sure that the polish was fully opaque..

I loved the colour and found it to be completely different to any other shades that I have in my collection. I found that did last really well on the nails and there was only minor tip wear.

Thanks for tuning in

July Favourites 2015

Welcome to another favourites post, July has been such a busy month, I turned 30 and I hit my 100 books target, and I was away at the end of the month so the schedule programming was interrupted for a couple of days. You don't want to hear about that you want to know what I have been loving this month so let's get this show on the road.

#ManiMonday: Surf Spray - Revlon Parfumerie

I love the Revlon Parfumerie range the bottles are just gorgeous, so for the Summer edition of #ManiMonday welcome Surf Spray.

#ManiMonday - Beach Bag - Models Own

When Models Own bought out their polish for tans range last year, everyone went mad for Beach Bag, this is a gorgeous neon pastel orange shade and is such a great shade for Summer.

#ManiMonday - Bikini So Teeny - Essie

Welcome to another Summer edition of #ManiMonday, next up is Essie with Bikini So Teeny.

#ManiMonday: Cocktail Hour - Models Own Polish for Tans

Welcome to another Summery edition of #ManiMonday and one of the new releases from Models Own from the Polish for Tans range, so grab a Mojito as it is time for Cocktail Hour.

#ManiMonday - Full Throttle - Barry M Speedy Quick Dry

Barry M have recently released their Speedy Quick Dry range of 9 colours (they have also added some new shades to the range).

#ManiMonday - Let's Get Lost - Essence

Welcome to another edition of #ManiMonday, it's time again to sit down, relax, and raise a Pina Colada to another Summer edition with a contender from Essence.

#ManiMonday: Happily Evie After - Rimmel

Welcome to another Summer addition of #ManiMonday with Happily Evie After from Rimmel Salon Pro range.

This is a nice coral colour (the swatch photo just doesn't do it justice, no matter where I took it my camera turned it orange).

The polish applies really well to the nail, thanks to the large flat headed brush (it covers the nail fully). The polish became opaque on 2 coats and is such a great shade for Spring/ Summer.

The polish lasted for a really long time on the nails and I will be reapplying it again during the Summer months.

The polish can be found in your local Boots or Superdrug and retail for £4.49.

Thanks for tuning in.
