Dark Metal Lacquer - Ordinary Vanity

*This polish was sent to me in exchange for a completely honest review.

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have a gorgeous new polish to show you from Dark Metal Lacquer that was kindly sent to me for review with my last order.  This is Ordinary Vanity (named after a song from the Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack) - a beautiful nude crelly with black and white matte square and hexagon shaped glitter, as well as gold microglitter.

Barry M Glitterati Collection

*Purchased by me

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have swatches of the whole Barry M Glitterati Collection to share with you.  It's not very often that I want to/can afford to buy an entire collection, but I really loved all 6 of these in other peoples swatches, and since Barry M's have a very affordable price point, I was able to do exactly that.  So, let's get straight into it then shall we?

Dark Metal Lacquer - Mystery Box Review (September)

Hiya lovelies!  Today I have something exciting to show you all.  Last month, Dark Metal Lacquer launched a monthly mystery box, where each month there will be a theme, and the box will include polishes to fit that theme, plus a few little extras (some of which may be beauty items, or even something edible.) The polishes are exclusive to the boxes, and the price will vary from month to month, depending on what the theme is for that month. (For example, a holo themed box would be a little pricier than others, due to the cost of the supplies) The theme for the first month was Glitter, and the box was only £12.  Even if it had been a little pricier I probably would have still bought it, but £12 is a heck of a bargain!

Dark Metal Lacquer - Dreaming & Heurt

*Purchased with my own money :D

Hiya lovelies!  Hope you're all having a great weekend so far.  Today I have a couple of Dark Metal Lacquer swatches to share with you - Heurt, which was one of Kamila's first creations, and Dreaming, which is from the more recent Autumn collection.......

Quirk - Dreams Can Come True

*Products in this post were sent to me in exchange for a 100% honest review

Hi guys!  Today I have a post to show you that makes me very happy and very sad, all at the same time.  As most of you will know by now, Quirk have recently had to stop producing polish :'(  Even sadder, Kerrie had a few gorgeous new collections she was ready to release, so today I will be showing you one of them.  Luckily Kerrie has decided to sell these as glitter mixes instead, so whilst you won't be able to buy them as ready made polishes, you can still own these pretties............

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Giveaway/Blog Sale

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is to use a polish you won in a giveaway, or bought from a blog sale.  A little while back, you may remember the wonderful Debbie from The Crumpet reached a million pageviews, and held the most EPIC giveaway ever.  Well, I was lucky enough to be one of the 32 winners, and this is the prize I picked - Pretty Serious - They Came From Beyond Space II collection, very kindly donated by Sally Magpie's.  I honestly wasn't expecting to receive the whole collection, and was just blown away by Sally's generosity when I unwrapped them!  I can't thank these 2 ladies enough, so I'll just say ladies, you fucking rock! Thank you! <3 <3
*In case you hadn't guessed already, this is one picture-heavy post ;)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Texture

*Purchased by me :)
Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is texture, and you guys know I love me some texture, so you'd think I'd be all over this with some awesome nail art, but alas - no!  Over the last couple of weeks, me and the Mr have been working a lot of extra hours, and it's taking it's toll on me at the moment.  I don't want to push myself into the dreaded "blogger burnout", so I'm taking it easy with a B-E-A-U-tiful swatch instead.  Wednesdays post is a bit of a mammoth too, so I hope you can forgive the distinct lack of nail art around here this week :)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Holo

 *Purchased by me :D

Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  Today's prompt is Holo, which is the perfect chance for me to show you one of the Moyra holographics I bought recently.  You may remember a little while back, I reviewed 3 polishes from this brand, a red metallic, a purple gel effect polish, and a neon yellow texture.  After being very impressed with the 3 I was sent for review, I couldn't resist putting in an order and trying a few of the others.........

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Had to have it, still haven't worn it!

 Hi guys, and welcome to another day of the neverending pile challenge.  The prompt for today is had to have it, still haven't worn it.  I think this is something that most of us are guilty of - there's always some polish you just had to have, that gets lost amongst all the other untrieds.  My polish is the incredible Lux by Zoya.  I was dying to get my hands on this, but didn't want to wear it until I knew I could keep it on for at least 2 days - pretty tough for someone who, at the moment, can't go a single day without changing their mani!  It's like a little evening ritual for me, my chill time at the end of the day :)

 Hi guys, today I have a Tara's Talons polish to show you that I'm very excited about.  Recently, Tara ran a competition to design a polish for her Fan Collection, and receive a bottle of that polish, and I was lucky enough to have my idea chosen as one of the winners.  How awesome is that!?

Quirk - Oopsie Daisy #4

Hi guys :)  Today I have a beautiful polish from the awesome UK Indie brand Quirk to show you.  This is from the Oopsie Daisies range, which are prototypes/polishes that didn't fit in with any collections/polishes that Kerrie can't make any more of for whatever reason, and this one is simply labelled Oopsie Daisy #4.  How sweet is the sticker with all the daisies on it!
