Nail Mail Monday!

Hello!

I'm finally back and I've got so many posts prepped and ready to go! 

Hope you all had a lovely start to the year, 

Cannot believe it's March now! 

Where have I been? Busy busy busy! Work has been hectic and I'm coming to the end of my degree now so the workload is ridiculous. I just haven't had time to edit photos and get posts up so I thought I'd take a break and come back when I felt ready / had caught up a bit on editing and prep for the blog etc....

Nail Mail Monday

Hello!

Today I've got a few weeks worth of Nail Mail to show you!

First up is my order from Nail Polish Direct! I picked up THAT China Glaze and some A England's I'd been after for a while.

I've had so much mail from Rainbow Connection UK! (The Native War Paints, LE Emily de Molly & Femme Fatale I picked up from a destash)

From Left to Right is China Glaze 'Pearl Jammin'', A England 'In Robe & Crown', 'Let Me In' & 'Natasha's Dance', Colors By Llarowe November POTM 'Turning Leaves', Picture Polish 'Holo On Top' & 'Sisters' & Native War Paints 'Ugly Sweater Party'.

I've also brought a Light Box this week and these are the first pictures I've used it for. I think it's going to take me a while to find an angle and lighting set up I like but it's a big improvement on the dull lighting we are getting in the UK at the moment from the constant rain and dark mornings & nights! Any tips are much appreciated!

From Left to Right is Emily de Molly 'Before the Storm', 'From Out of Nowhere', 'Gazing Upwards', 'Melt Down', 'Sweet Jumps', 'All the Feelings', 'Emmy' & 'LE43', ILNP 'La Catedral', Femme Fatale 'Two Days Wrong' & Emily de Molly Stamping Polish 'Pink/Orange Duochrome'.

Last week it was my birthday and I asked for a big Picture Polish Haul as a present! All from Rainbow Connection!

From Left to Right is Picture Polish '2001', 'Alice', 'Chance', 'Copperfield', 'Holosphere', 'Meow', 'Merge', 'Mishap', 'Orchid', 'Remember', 'Salt Water', 'Spring', 'Story', 'Sunflower' & 'Trouble'.

I also picked up from Rainbow Connection UK this gorgeous Bundle Monster Stamping Plate Holder. It's currently holding my Bundle Monster, Emily de Molly XL, Sugar Bubbles, Delush Polish, Creative Shop & Hehe XL Stamping Plates! (Note - The older Hehe Superhero Stamping Plates are a bit wider and didn't fit)

Thanks for visiting,

Have a lovely day,

Native War Paints - The Walking Dead 'No Sanctuary' Collection 'Constable' and 'This isn't the End'

Hello!

Today I have a new to me brand on the blog. Native War Paints is a US based indie polish brand created by the lovely Amanda. They make beautiful polishes of all types. The two I have to show you today are from the The Walking Dead 'No Sanctuary' collection!!! My love for The Walking Dead knows no bounds and 'No Sanctuary' is my favourite episode so I picked up this collection without a second thought. The whole collection is gorgeous and with The Walking Dead back on our screens for season 6B I thought I'd wear these for the mid-season premier. That episode was soooo good!! Anyway before I start going on about that here are the pretties.

Natural Daylight with Flash

'Constable' is a gorgeous mauve/taupe polish with subtle holo and coppery red flakies. Walking Dead, Copper, love love love! The polish is based on our favourite constable Rick Grimes. This was three easy coats.

Natural Daylight

Direct Sunlight to show off that sparkly glitter!!

For my accent nail I used 'This isn't the End' which is a gorgeous brown holo microglitter full of gold, red and blue sparks. It's so pretty. Also a nod to the character of Tyreese in the season 5 mid-season premier. All the feels!! This was one coat plus a sponged layer coat to make it nice and opaque without it being too thick on the nail.

Natural Daylight 

Natural Daylight with Flash

For my stamping on my pointer finger I used the 'Zombie Love 01' Uber Chic stamping plate with my Fab Ur Nails Jumbo stamper and Konad black stamping polish. I love this plate!

I topped it all off with HK Girl to make it nice and glossy and to smooth over the glitter accent nail.

Hopefully I'll get around to showing you the rest of the collection soon!

You can buy Native War Paints direct from their website and they ship internationally!

What do you think of these? Are there any other polishes in the collection you'd like to see featured first? Let me know in the comments!

Have a lovely day,
