Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did last week.
For this mani I painted my nails with Color Club Blossoming (2 coats). This is a great polish. I love that it’s opaque in 2 easy coats, and the quick drying time is an added bonus.
For the images I used my MoYou London Sailor 06 stamping plate. The black polish I stamped with is the amazing Revlon Colorstay 270 Stiletto.
I did like the look of the mani, and I already have an idea on what to do next with this stamping plate. 💡
Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did just a few weeks ago.
For this mani I painted my nails with Color Club Blossoming (2 coats). This is one of my favourite light green nail polishes. Great colour, great quality. I really enjoy using it!
For the images I used my relatively new Born Pretty BP-L073 stamping plate. I love all the images on this stamping plate. 😍
The black polish I stamped with is Rimmel 60 Seconds 820 Hot Black To Go.
I really liked how this mani turned out. It reminds me of spring – ah, the good times!
Hi there! Today’s post is about all the products I emptied in July. If you read my blog regularly, you know I don’t take photos of empty face mask sachets, but rest assured that I used lots of face masks last month! If you want to read about my latest face mask finds, click here! Now let’s get to the big bottles…
1 Palmolive Aroma Moments So Relaxed Aromatic Bath Foam (no photo) – one of my favourite bath products! Sorry, I have no photo. My husband was the one who finished the bath foam, and he binned the empty bottle.
2 Spa Premium Epsom Salts (no photo) – I enjoyed these bath salts, and I want to pick them up again next time I swing by my local Poundstretcher. Sorry there’s no photo. My husband finished these bath salts, and, of course, he doesn’t keep empty packs or bottles around. And no, he also doesn’t know that I photograph my trash! 😁
3 Herbal Essences Bio Renew White Grapefruit & Mint Volume Shampoo & Conditioner – not a bad conditioner, but not good enough for me to buy it again.
4 Body-X Twilight Amber – I liked this shower gel a lot, and I’d like to buy it again.
5 Imperial Leather Drop It Like A Sloth – a nice shower gel. The scent is a bit too masculine for my taste, but I think I’ll pick it up again for my husband.
6 Superdrug Vitamin C Detox Skincare Refreshing Cleansing Pads – these were lovely, and I’l repurchase them, no doubt!
7 Color Club Nail Polish – not sure about the name of the shade. This was 1 of the 6 polishes from their Bridal Collection set. I used this polish as a base coat. I think I emptied one of these before, so I have 4 more… In any event, I wouldn’t buy any of these non-colours again.
8 Barry M Base Coat Top Coat Nail Hardener – I think this is an OK clear polish for all sorts of purposes. I don’t think I’ll buy it again (unless it’s an emergency purchase).
9 I Love… Raspberry & Blackberry Shower & Bath Crème – This is I Love…’s best fragrance. I have several bottles (250ml and 500ml) of this amazing shower gel in my stash.
10 Radox Scent Touch Feel Fresh – I won’t buy this shower gel again. It smells too masculine for my taste.
11 Baylis & Harding Skin Spa Rose, Ylang Ylang & Patchouli Hand Lotion – it took me ages to finish this hand lotion – and most of it was actually used as a foot lotion. But it doesn’t matter. I DID IT! With my husband’s help. So this is a shared empty.
July wasn’t the greatest month for empties, but August should be better. I know I’ll finish a shower gel, a fragrance, a toner, a serum and a face mist well before the end of this week.
Which products have you said goodbye to recently? Feel free to get in touch via the comments, and thanks for stopping by! 🥰

I didn’t post on Wednesday and Friday. So this is already it for this week. Thanks for stopping by! 🥰
PS: I won’t post next week. I had surgery (all is well), and I will take a full week off (no work, no blogging, no emails, no calls) to recover. I will read blogs in the meantime – and I’m back on the 27th. xx
Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.
For this mani I painted my nails with Miss Sporty Lasting Colour 470 (2 coats). I’m impressed with this cheap polish – the dark green shade is beautiful, the formula is amazing, and I’ve also noticed that the polish dried fairly quickly. 😍
The glitter top coat I used is Color Club Holiday Splendor – it’s holographic silver glitter in a green jelly base. It’s also a Christmas glitter top coat. 🎄
What colour nail polish are you wearing at the moment? Feel free to let me know via the comments. And thanks for reading!
Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did a few weeks ago.
For this mani I painted my nails with Color Club Blossoming (3 coats). I think 2 coats would have done the job, but I was working from home, and my nails had plenty of time to dry whilst I was typing away…
For the images I used my MoYou London Mexico 08 stamping plate. The polish I stamped with is a random black polish – this is why the images are quite pale. And in case you’re wondering – yes, I’m still looking for my favourite black polish…
All in all, not a great mani, but not a bad one either. 😁
Hi there! Today’s post is about all the products I emptied in June. I used a number of single use face masks, but I didn’t keep the empty sachets (I never do). If you’d like to read about my latest face mask finds, click here. Now, onto the big bottles and tubs! 🙂
1 Palmolive Be Sensual Shower Gel – this is a lovely shower gel that I’ll buy again. My husband used it too, so this one’s a shared empty.
2 Garnier Ultimate Blends The Gloss Reviver Conditioner – one of Garnier’s nicer conditioners. I’m in no rush to buy hair care products, but I would buy this conditioner (the matching and shampoo) again.
3 Radox Feel Rejuvenated Shower Cream – I love this shower gel! I need to pick up another bottle pronto!
4 Dr. Organic Organic Aloe Vera Body Wash (travel size) – this isn’t a great shower gel. I won’t purchase it again.
5 Grace Cole Fruit Works Watermelon & Pink Grapefruit Body Butter – it was nice enough while it lasted, but I won’t be buying this body butter again.
6 Max Factor Pan Stik 25 Fair – my holy grail foundation!
7 Sukin Purifying Facial Masque – this mask was nice while it lasted, but I won’t buy it again.
8 Dr. Organic Organic Manuka Honey Body Wash (travel size) – I’m glad this one’s gone. Bye!
9 Superdrug Vitamin E Skin Care All Over Body Cream With Dragonfruit – this is a wonderful moisturiser. It’s perfect for even the hottest summer days!
10 Color Club Nail Polish (no photo, sorry) – this is one of the polishes from Color Club’s Bridal collection. I used it as a base coat. I wouldn’t buy it again, but I have a few more similar shades. I’m sorry I have no photo of the empty bottle. I threw it out by accident…
This is everything I emptied in June. I’m disappointed I only managed to finish 10 products, but I’m confident I’ll do much better this month (because I know I’ll have 5 empties alone by the end of this week). Have you tried any of the products I said goodbye to in June? What have you emptied last month? Don’t be shy – get in touch via the comments! 🙂
Hi there! Happy Friday! It’s the 1st of June, so it’s time for my May Empties post. As always, I’ve used a number of single-use face masks. Whilst I don’t keep the empty sachets, you can read about my latest face mask finds if you click here. Now onto the ‘real’ empties!
1 Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume – this was nice while it lasted, but I don’t think I’ll buy it again. Having said that, I believe I have 2 Island Vanilla scented perfume roll-ons in my stash…
2 Superdrug Optimum Skin Illuminating Glycolic Overnight Peel – I really liked this one. However, Superdrug sells another glycolic overnight peel that gives me the same results and that’s half the price, so I’ll stick with the cheaper product.
3 The Body Shop Early Harvest Raspberry Eau De Toilette – I’m glad this one’s finished. I wouldn’t buy it again. I have another bottle in my stash, but I’ll pass it on to my teenage relative who I hope will enjoy it more.
4 B. Confident Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz – this is one of my holy grail products! 🙂
5 Olay Hydration & Cleansing 2 In 1 Cleanser & Moisturiser Duo – this is a nice cleansing milk. I will buy it again, no doubt!
6 Christina Aguilera Eau De Parfum – this is a really nice fragrance. I might buy it again.
7 Palmolive So Tempting Shower Gel – this is a lovely shower gel that reminds me of Flower by Kenzo. I am happy to buy it (the shower gel, not the perfume) again. 🙂
8 TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Vibrant Colour Protection Conditioner – this conditioner is the epitome of “average”. I am glad it’s gone.
9 Treacle Moon Warm Cookie Dough Bath & Shower Gel – this shower gel is awesome. My husband enjoyed it too, so this one’s a shared empty. I’ll buy it again, no doubt!
10 Dr. Organic Aloe Vera Shampoo (travel size) – this is a decent shampoo. I might buy it again.
11 Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Toner – this toner is excellent. I’m happy to repurchase it.
12 Boots Extracts Sweet Mango Body Spray – Boots’ mango fragrance is simply the best. I’m glad a have a few bottles of this awesome body spray in my stash.
13 Radox Feel Exotic Shower Gel – I didn’t love this shower gel, and I won’t buy it again.
14 Classics Nail Polish Remover – this is the best nail polish remover there is for £1. I’ve gone through several bottles over the years, and I’m sure I’ll buy many more.
15 Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Smoothing Nourishing Lotion With Cocoa Butter – this body lotion is awesome! I’ll buy it again, no doubt!
This is everything I finished in May. I’m happy I managed to finish a few fragrances and skin care products – and that 900ml conditioner. 🙂 Have you tried any of these products? Which products have you emptied recently? Feel free to get in touch. And thanks for reading!
Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did not too long ago. 🙂
For this mani I painted my nails (pinkies, index fingers, thumbs) with Color Club Blossoming. I love this polish – the colour is great, and the formula is lovely and easy to work with. Awesome stuff!
I used water decals on my ring and middle fingers. The decals are on the sheerer side, so my natural nails are visible from underneath the decals. Next time I’ll make sure to paint all my nails.
All in all I’m actually really happy with the mani. I also like the ‘fresh’ look of it. What do you think? Feel free to get in touch. And thanks for reading!
Hi there! Today’s mani is another one I did for the A-Z Nail Art Challenge. This challenge is called “W – Whatever I Want”. It’s my ‘joker’ challenge. 🙂
Onto the mani! I used these nail (art) products:
Color Club Blossoming (base colour pinkies, index fingers, thumbs),
Rimmel 60 Seconds 820 Hot Black To Go (base colour ring fingers, black stamping colour),
NYC In A Minute 019 A Perfect Day (base colour middle fingers),
Sally Hansen Salon Manicure 310 Gilty Pleasure (golden stamping colour),
Pueen 73 stamping plate (from Pueen’s Stamping Buffet collection).
I think this mani looks awesome. I love it! And I’m actually proud of it because I had no idea what to do with my nails, so I just grabbed a few random nail polishes and I started to paint my nails… and all of a sudden my nails looked great. 😀
How do you like this mani? Feel free to let me know via the comments. And thanks for stopping by!
