It’s not secret that Glossybox and I have had our ups and downs over the last 6 months and despite cancelling my box I’ve somehow still ended up subscribing. Thankfully they’ve managed to win me over with this month’s Pop Art theme which has been absolutely fantastic and well worth my monthly sub. This first thing that’s a little different about this month’s box, is that the product card you usually receive is now online. Great if you can keep…
Continue Reading ...As with all nail trends I was inevitably late to this party but I seem to have suddenly acquired quite a collection of nail caviar sets, and this the latest was a competition win from the lovely Pretty for Pence! The trio contains three shades; Coral Bikini, a mix of red silver and gold, Lilac Sand in purple and silver and Maliblue, which is made up of blue silver and black. I’ve tried quite a few different caviar manis recently and…

(Sorry Gem) This was the “Valentine’s-esque” edition and the box is just so adorable! I love the themed boxes and they look so cute stacked on top of each other.…

Both feeling somewhat under the weather, we scrubbed up relatively well. Alas, it was a 1950s esque red and black themed wedding, so naturally I went for a red rockabilly style dress to make up for the lack of my usual red hair. This surely called for some distinct 1950’s nail art to go with it, so I have a…

On first glance, it not normally the colour I would go for, but I tried it for the first time on all my nails (not just an excited swatch on an already painted nail, which I do whenever I get new nail varnish) yesterday. First of all I tried it with Avon’s Opal, (on sale at £3.00) but it looked terrible. Anyhow, I enjoyed the colour so much, that I…
Continue Reading ...Glossybox day is always the most exciting day of the month! I’ve been doubly excited about the July box since I saw the gorgeous turquoise print a few days ago as part of the “ready for summer” theme, and I’m glad to say the contents were just as exciting! After a long day in the sun at work organising a performance for some pupils at my music school, I was filled with glee at my lovely blue…
