REVEAL!! Gradient Glitter Christmas nails!!


Hi lovelies, it's less than 1 week till Xmas! I still haven't done all my Christmas shopping but I am planning on blitzing it all tomorrow morning :-) How are you all getting on? I bet your more organised than me?

Now I love a bit of glitter as much as the next gal and one thing I love at Christmas is that you can go all out over the top blinging and sparkling like a fairy on redbull.  So it was finally time for my Christmas manicure eeep!! So off I went to the nail salon to get myself all blinged out and after some serious deliberation on colours and patterns, I came back with these beauties!!


I absolutely love them.  They were £35 including infills at Polish Nail and Beauty Aberdeen.   The girls are absolutely lovely.  Especially Amy who has done my nails twice now and she is an absolute gem, always making sure I am happy with them asking "do you need more glitter" to which I reply yes!


So what do you think lovelies is there an improvement?! :-)

Don't forget you can follow me on

REVIEW | Barry M Nail Polish in Rose Quartz with Swatches





I picked up this beauty a few weeks back in this haul, which included 3 Barry M polishes from Boots when they were doing their 3 for 2 offer, which always goes down well. I have already reviewed the Barry M Gelly polish in Lychee here and have been so excited to try out this polish properly.


I will tell you now; this will not be a super long post because all I really have to say about this polish is that I absolutely love it!! It is one of my favourite polishes at the moment.



Here I have on 2 coats because I wanted to keep it semi sheer and I love the way it looks. It dries pretty quickly too which I was surprised about, especially after using the Barry M gellys which take a while to dry (I suppose because they are a lot thicker).



The thing about this polish that makes it so magical and pretty for me is the small rainbow coloured glitter pieces. They really shimmer and shine making your fingers look as pretty as a princess.



I will be wearing this polish a lot during summer on its own and over other colours as a top coat.



So far I have had this polish on for 2 days and have no chips.  Really impressed.


Have you tried this pretty little one?

Obsessed With Nails and Manicure Fails!






At the moment there is no denying it, I am totally obsessed with manicuring my nails. All different colours, patterns, glitter, no glitter what ever I can get my hands on.  I also like to try out tutorials I have seen on the interweb, with varying degrees of success.  Have a look at my water marble results below... I think you will be impressed.




Mostly I upload my manicure pictures to instagram (AshlyLondon) so hop on over there to see them all but here are a few of my faves which I have had over the past few weeks.  All of them I have done myself. When I am in London I tend to go to the salon once a week for a polish change. I know sounds a lot but it is like £5 for a polish change and £12 for a gel manicure.

Sometimes I like to name my creations. Because, well, it makes me feel special.

Let me know which ones are your favourites (probably the water marbelling) and I am always on the hunt for new tutorials or nail blogs so please leave links below if you know of any

Lots of Love
