Have you ever seen such beauty in your whole entire life?
The new Spring/Summer range from Zoya is just outstanding, and I have a couple of the new shades here for you to drool over. 
The new 'Tickled' and 'Bubbly' range consist of twelve gorgeous shades, all of which are perfect for any Summer event. The Tickled collection has six super vibrant, yet intensely full coverage shades, which will leave you with a perfect creamy finish. The Bubbly collection on the other hand is just as bright, but each of the six shades are jam packed with shimmering holographic glitters. 

In addition to these, Zoya have released three new shades in their Pixie Dust range. Shades 'Ginni', 'Bar' and 'Arlo' are packed with the usual pixie dust shimmer and leave you with the most beautiful textured finish.

Zoya Bubbly in 'Muse' (£11) is now I think one of my all time favourite polishes. This shade has tons of tiny, holographic glitter pieces suspended in the most perfect summer blue. It's a mermaid's tail on your nails; and the gorgeous green and blue glitter almost create a duo-chrome effect and looks stunning in any light. If you want a slight sparkle to your nails, just apply one coat and go; but if you're like me and want a full on glitter 'splosion, then just add one more coat for some solid glitter loving. 
The finish of this polish is smooth, shiny and hardwearing. Usually I chip my polish whilst writing my posts on an evening, but this one hasn't budged. 

Zoya Magical Pixie Dust in 'Ginni' (£11) is again, stunning. As a lover of textured polishes, how could I not love this one too. Much like 'Muse' above, 'Ginni' is full of glitter. Beautiful pink glitter in a range of shades and sizes. Perfectly opaque in just two coats, the finish of this polish is fabulously textured, almost matte, and with the addition of the glitter these polishes make for the perfect sparkly addition to any outfit. 

I have to admit something now. I have never tried a Zoya polish before these. Yes, I know, bad beauty blogger; but believe you me, I have been drawn in by their magnificence and I can't see myself wanting to purchase any other brand for a while. 
The shade range is spot on, they apply easily and dry super fast; and they are free from all of the nail polish baddies, aren't tested on animals and are 100% organic. 
What's not to love? 

Now where did I put my purse...

This winter I'm craving some new polishes to add to my collection. I seem to own a lot of summery, girly shades, but not so many that are suitable for the Winter trends. 

At the moment I am adoring anything that's dark berry coloured or nude. I also noticed that I have barely any greens or blues in my collection and I think the new Barry M Gelly shades are perfect! 

Essie and Barry M are my two favourite polish brands. Even though the price difference between the two are quite large per bottle, I feel the quality is equally as good! I'm sure if I was to look around some more, I would find several other polishes I would want, but I figured I would stick to what I know. 

Hopefully I can add a few of these in the next couple of months. My hands are just dying for some dark, vampy tips!

Believe it or not, ladies. This is my very first Essie polish. 
A few websites have been selling Essie super duper cheap recently and I didn't want to miss out. I totally would have bought more, but at the time, my bank account just wouldn't allow it. 
I didn't have an orange polish in my collection so this one just jumped out at me! 

As with every other blogger that loves Essie, I do too. 
This polish was opaque after one coat! Amazing! I did add an extra coat, just out of pure habit, but it didn't need it. 
I wore this polish for roughly four days before it started to chip, which for me, is pretty damn good. 
I'll definitely be buying more as soon as I can. 

Right now, Fragrance direct has a few shades for sale at only £1.99 a bottle, and I will add other links that I come across in the future. 

What's your favourite Essie polish?

Another #Leedsbloggermeetup2012 goody, and yet another win from me!

I was super excited to see this in the bottom of my goody bag. I've known about Stargazer for years, mainly their hair dyes, but I didn't know that they did nail polish. In fact, they do everything make-up wise too!

This product is everything you look for in a good nail polish. The shade I received (513) was opaque after just one coat and dried quick. There are a couple of downsides. It chips easily, but if you are an avid nail painter this won't bother you, and it stains your nails, which can be fixed by using a base coat. Simples.

I know this review is short but sweet but there really isn't much else I can say about this product. 
It's now one of my all time favourites and I am dying to try more from Stargazer! Some of the make-up products look absolutely amazeballs!
