Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat


Hi everyone, today I have for you Innisfree peel off base coat review. I have had this for months and never used it, would have come in handy for removing that green jelly sandwich that was a pain to remove U_U

So the peel off base coat is basically a white base coat that your coat your nails with and it dries clear like a regular one. It smells just like PVA glue lol I've read reviews about using PVA glue as a make shift one but I already had this one in so I haven't tried that :)

I did quite a thin coat on each nail, waited about 5 minutes for it to dry. It does dry slower than a normal base coat but the removal makes it worth it. I think due to only applying a thin thin coat it made mine peel of in little bits rather than whole, next time I will try a thicker coat. 

I took this off the day after as I wanted to check it out, there were no chips or peeling so I think it would have lasted a few more days if I hadn't removed it. 

So the glitter I was wearing was 3 coats of Butter London Lovely Jubbly which I used a matte top coat over the top ^^



When I peeled it off there was tiny little bits of base coat left on some of my nails so I quickly went over with a cotton pad and tadaa, 5 minutes = clean nails not acetone and foil ^^


See how mine peeled off in loads of little pieces.


Enjoy! x

Franken Pink


Here I am back finally!

Today I have a very pretty pink (to me) that I mixed up a while ago and never swatched, so I kind of don't even remember what it is apart from that I made it with Barry M Retro Pink (maybe a 1/4) and China Glaze Good Witch? the rest and I think I put some Barry M Iridescent Pink. Sorry I can't remember (o^.^o).

Here it is, this is 2 even coats for opaqueness with an added rose on my thumb, it's to big for any other finger hehe

Natural light:






Enjoy! x

Just a little message to my followers (^.^)


Hi everyone!

I just wanted to make a little message as it has been a long time since I last posted and as I said in that post my nails were stained and they were stained bad. They were ghastly, a sickly sort of yellow and green and I have not wanted to apply any more polish while they regain there colour back. 

As of now my nails are a lovely normal pink yay, the tips are not so much white but not yellow either but I cute my nails down quite short as they had grown quite weakened U_U

I just wanted to let you all know that I have not abandoned my blog and I wil back within a few days, I plan to swatch a little frank nail polish I did in the next couple of days wohoo!

Thank you for not unfollowing my abandoned blog hehe

A Barry M and Glitter Sandwich


Hey guys!

First off yeah my blog has been quite for a few weeks, very good reason. I've basically just been going nude on my nails, no polish to give them a breather after this sandwich I'm going to show you. I wore this a few weeks ago and haven't actually posted it yet. 
It lasted a whole week and was a pain to get off my nails of course, there's a whole bunch of layers starting with the LE Barry M Green Jelly a favourite of mine, I've used 1/4 of my bottle in the month I bought it eek! There's some of L'oreal Confetti top coat, I bought this one because no matter where I looked I could not find Maybelline Polka Dot polishes in Chalk Dust *sigh* I love how easy the glitter spreads on the nail in this. I think there was 3 layers of Confetti and then 2 layers in between of Barry M Diamond glitter finished off with a last coat of the green. 

So yeah when I removed it very yellow/greeny stained nails yuck! I tried the lemon thing and I swear my nails were much worse after!! So I have been going without any polish for the last couple of weeks and neglecting my blog as well sorry x 

My nail beds are now getting back to there former pinkness from the top to just above the nail tip which is still a bit yellow but no where near as bad as before, they looked like a sickly green >.<










I really do love this green so much :3

Enjoy! x

Barry M LE Fuchsia Pink (Boots)


Last of the 4 Barry M LE colours here. The Boots darker pink and my second favourite after the green, this is a crelly? not quite a creme but not quite a jelly I'm not up to speed with all these polish names lol

Basically it's just beautiful and bright and summery. This is 3 coats of the fuchsia pink. The wear time for all of the LE polishes are just great. 

All pics taken outside on a good sunny day. 







Enjoy! x

Barry M LE Yellow (Boots)


Another of Barry M's new LE colours today, this one you can get from Boots for £3.99. It is a beautiful and very bright yellow. This is quite opaque considering yellows are generally sheer and was fully opaque and smooth in 2 coats. 

I really love this yellow, it is so sunny and happy and I added little butterfly fimos I had hanging around to match my summer mani :)


Enjoy! x

Barry M LE Pink (Superdrugs)


Today I have the second of the LE Barry M Neons, I just love these and I wish they would bring out more!

This is the light pink that you can purchase from Superdrugs with the cute zebra pattern on the lid. 

For this one I painted it over a white nail polish (Barry M matte white, 2 coats) to really make it pop and then applied 3 coats of the LE pink. 

They are taken in natural light but it's pretty washed out, this was so so bright, shockingly so, I got so many comments about how bright my nail polish was lol so pretty!





Enjoy! x
