New Nails Inc Beaded Polish Chancery Lane

Hello my lovelies!!!  I thought I would share with you guys a find of mine whilst out shopping, in the form of Nails Inc Chancery Lane.  This is their new beaded line of polishes.  I had the choice of the off white colour which I am unsure of what it is called and this bad boy.
 Now I would naturally gravitate towards this particular one as it has the Baker Street feel to the base colour, always a winner. 

I am hard pressed to come to a conclusion whether I adore this polish or dislike it.  I love the 'beads' which offer a 3d effect, and the sparkle it gives in the right lighting.  I wasn't sold on the formula which I found didn't spread easily over the nail at all.  I know this is supposed to be a textured polish.....buuuuuut, I didn't love  the bulky feel of this polish.  This is definitely the most textured polish I own.

IMO if you have longer nails then you can get away with this kind of polish, ladies with shorter nails may find this just to bulky for diddy fingers.  I would also say a neat application is a MUST with this polish or you may find your manicure looks overly messy.

Dry time was good with this polish.  So would I invest in more? I'm afraid not.  Whilst the colour is stunning and the sparkle pretty I just don't like the overall feel to this one.

Picture Polish scores again...Whimsy is a keeper!!

I know I run the risk of sounding like a broken record buuuuuut.....I love me some blue polish, and I love me some Picture Polish, so what happens when the two meet??? well folks let me tell you with a picture......

picture polish whimsy blue shimmer polish

 Yep that's what happens....a phenomenal outrageously beautiful polish...aptly named Whimsy! 


I loved each picture so much I have to spam you guys...but hey, its pretty so who cares right?!



This is a great collaboration shade with Lindsey from Neverland Nail Blog ...Words cant describe how much I adore this, it is a polish that I see me wearing all year round because its so beautifully bright its perfect for summer but it is icy enough to pass for a winter colour to...perfecto!!!



Whimsy is a bright baby pale blue with what looks like small golden flakies in the bottle but on the nail it translates to more of a golden shimmer, in certain lights the golden shimmer takes on greenish tones.  Whimsy is also a polish that is more opaque than I expected.  When I saw pictures online before I bought this I thought that this one was definitely going to be one to layer.  Thankfully this isn't the case, the colour you see, is indeed the colour you get!


Application and formula were amazing as always, Picture Polish sure knows how to create a treat for their customers which is why they are without doubt one of my favourite brands!


If you don't own this polish yet I suggest you throw all inhibitions to the wall and buy with confidence you will be owning a stunner!  You can buy this here at Picture Polish or Sally Magpies or Llarowe

Nostalgic Lacquer rid of me...wow wow wow!

Don't you just love it when you get nail mail you forgot you had ordered??   I saw this polish by Nostalgic Lacquer featured on a blog a while ago and on impulse bought it because it looked amazing.  I don't know how but I totally forgot I ordered it until it wangled its way through my letterbox today.

I was feeling a little 'blah' today but this has really cheered me up, its bloody beautiful!! it is called Rid of me....I suggest a rename for this baby...something along the lines of magic in a bottle! 

Now you all know I love a blue....light, dark, neon, baby, navy...its all good to me.  I also adore anything that will turn an otherwise lovely polish into something much more...and this guys is it!!

I decided to whack on a new favourite blue of mine, Chelsea Girl by Color Club....here it is guys...pretty lovely huh?

Now for a switch up before your very eyes! (excuse the spam a thon...I couldn't resist!)


Rid of me is a beautiful  blue jelly polish with oodles of blue gold and green shimmer.  I imagine you could wear this alone but I have seen this used as a topper and I preferred to use it like that. I don't know what it is about this polish but It just makes my nails glow from the inside, I realllllllly love it! 



I would absolutely recommend this polish to you guys, formula is amazing, dry time is fast and  received the polish quite quickly considering I am in the UK
