October 2019 Favourites

Holy crap!  These month's are just going by faster and faster and there is zero chance of it slowing down.  I have to seriously start narrowing down my favourites for the end of the year.  I think that this year may be the hardest year to narrow down the favourites and I have used a lot less stuff too.  Eek!  But luckily for me I have been good at doing monthly favourites so that should help me out.  Let's talk about what I have been loving this month.

Nail Art

I haven't done a heap of nail art again this month which is kinda sad.  I just haven't had the nail time like I once had.  But I did manage a few and these are the ones that I loved wearing this month.
      

Stamping Plates

Again, I haven't done much nail art so I haven't played with any new stamping plates.
        

Mainstream Polishes

If you saw my blog post or follow me on Instagram then you will know that my obsession this month is the new OPI x Converse Neons By OPI Collection.  The colours are amazing and I wished that we got all six of the polishes in Australia but the four we did get are awesome!

Indie Polishes

Emily de Molly Halloween 2019 Trio

We all know that I love EdM polishes.  They are always in my favourites and probably always will be.  The Halloween trio this year is awesome!  The orange isn't necessarily one I will grab for all year around (and won't make it to my end of year favourites) but for Halloween it is awesome.
     

Grace-full Nail Polish Show Me The Money (Polish Pick Up October 2019)

Flakies and aurora shimmer steal my heart every single time and I am ok with that.  I mean how can you not love Show Me The Money?  It is even better in person.

 And that is a wrap of October!  See you all in November for lots of exciting new things.

October 2018 Favourites

Don't you just hate when you nearly complete a blog post and then your computer dies and you lose everything?  This just happened to me with this post!  Ahhh!  I desperately need a new computer.  Anyway, it is officially the end of October which means it's time for my monthly favourites!  I'm sure these posts pop up quicker and quicker.  Soon I will seriously have to start narrowing down all of my favourites for my end of year posts.  Eek!  I know this is going to be a hard job because there has been so many amazing things released this year.

Nail Art

I think that this will be the first time EVER that I haven't had any monthly nail art favourites.  This month I haven't really done much nail art and what I have done I have liked but I don't think there is anything that I have done that I would consider a favourite so I'm skipping over this section of favourites for the first time ever.

Stamping Plates

A lack of nail art usually means that I haven't really been playing with too many stamping plates which is definitely the case this month.  I think I only did two maybe three posts with stamping plates.  Next month will be a different story.  I have lots of new plates to play with.  Anyway, I do have one favourite plate for this month - Lina Nail Art Supplies Make Your Mark 08.  I have always been a big fan of these plates and this one is no exception.  There are a heap of great designs.

Stamping Polishes
This month I got to play with six new stamping polishes from Hit The Bottle and it's safe to say that I love them.  They all stamp perfectly over both black and white.  What's not to love about that?

Indie Polishes

Surprisingly enough I don't have any mainstream favourites this month (well I haven't shared any mainstream polishes that I love this month - November will be another story).  The indie girls have knocked it out of the park again this month.  So many pretties!

Emily de Molly Facebook Group Exclusives

This month EdM released three more Facebook Group Exclusives.  While I really like all three only two of them I consider my favourites - Opal Illusion and Beyond The Horizon.

Emily de Molly Halloween Trio 

I do love Halloween polishes.  There is always so many interesting polishes that come out.  Take The Greater Good for example.  It's so good!  I also really love Triple Trouble as well.

Emily de Molly October Releases

Along with a few special releases, EdM also did their regular monthly release and of course there are quite a few that stole my heart.  My favourites are Sea Of Lies, Glitters Reign, Today At Noon, The World Belongs To Us and Electric Arc.

Glam Polish It Collection

I had the pleasure of swatching the IT Collection from Glam Polish.  There are some really good polishes in this collection.  My personal favourites are Dead Lights and We All Float Down Hard!

Grace-full Nail Polish Christmas 2018 Collection
Christmas is seriously just around the corner (which in itself is crazy) which means Christmas polishes are being released.  Woohoo!  I do love Christmas polishes and Grace-full have a great collection this year.  My personal favourites are Frosty, Golden Rings and Winter Wonderland.

Grace-full Nail Polish Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum Collection
Grace-full definitely have been busy with their releases this month and naturally I end up with quite a few in my favourites post.  My favourites from this collection are Son Of Jacob, Guardians, May The Lord Open and Good Weather.

That brings October to an end.  Now roll on November for all the new pretties I have to play with.

What are somethings you have been loving this month?

October 2017 Favourites

I have had a bit of a "dumb moment".  I have been doing a semi countdown until Halloween (my daughter is very excited!) but for some odd reason it never really clicked that it is also the last day of the month which of course is monthly favourites time.  Luckily I remembered now or this post might have been a little later than usual.  Right, let's talk about all the things I have been loving this month.

Nail Art

This month I don't feel like I have done much nail art.  Probably because I did so much nail art last month and needed a little break (plus had a lot of swatching to catch up with).  These are the nail art manis that I have loved this month.
 

Stamping Plates

I have had a few new plates (or plates that I have only gotten around to playing with) that I have fallen in love with this month.  There are some seriously awesome plates out there at the moment!
 

Lina Nail Art Supplies Spookilcious 01

October is the month of Halloween so of course I would have to pop in this plate.  It's an awesome plate with Halloween designs for everyone!

Uberchic Texture-licious 03 Mini Stamping Plate

I am a huge fan of textured stamping plates and this one is no exception.

Uberchic Beauty Radiate Love 01 Stamping Plate

I'm sure if you saw the original post on this plate, then it will be of no surprise that this plate is here.  I could rave about it all over again, but let's save some time.  You can see the original post here.

Stampers

Hit The Bottle Double Shot Stamper

When it comes to stampers there is a couple of things that I need.  I need a stamper that is squishy (they just work better on my curved nails), one that doesn't require priming and one that works.  Well, Hit The Bottle's Double Stamper is perfect for me.  It's crystal clear so makes layering and placement of images easy and it also is really pretty.  Plus has two stamper heads! 
 

Stamping Polishes

Hit The Bottle Shazam Yellow

It's no surprise that Hit The Bottle Shazam Yellow is here in my favourites.  I love all of the polishes from the Pour Some Neon On Me Collection and Shazam Yellow is perfect.  It's a great colour and stamps beautifully over dark and light colours.
 

Indie Polishes

Indie polishes make up the bulk of the polishes that I have been loving this month!  In fact, it's pretty much all polishes from my favourite brands (the same brands I'm sure I put in every monthly favourites).
 

Emily de Molly Halloween Trio

I am a huge fan of Halloween polishes.  I think there are always some really interesting and unique polishes that come out at Halloween.  Emily de Molly did not let me down this year!
 

Emily de Molly August Releases

I was definitely late in swatching these polishes (and trust me it has been quite difficult having them sit in my swatch racks for so long) but I love them all!  August was a great month for releases from Emily de Molly.
 

Emily de Molly October Releases

In an effort to cut back on my favourites (which I really struggle at doing - doing a yearly favourites post is going to be the hardest thing I have done all year) I have managed to cut back my favourites from the October Release.  Polishes shown are Ever Sort After, Land Of Critique, End Of Seasons, Stylish Cover Up and The Plain Wall.
 

Grace-full Nail Polish Peg's World Collection

I'm really not sure what I can say about this collection that I haven't already said.  The polishes are all gorgeous and the formulas are awesome.
 

Grace-full Nail Polish Ghoulish Goop

Another Halloween polish that I feel in love with this month.  I love how different this one looks in different lights.  Its so pretty and interesting.
 

Powder Perfect Haunted Mansion (Part) Collection

There are three favourites of mine in the new Haunted Mansion Collection - Darkness & Dragons, Beast Within and Dead Of Night.  Such stunners!
 

Mainstream Polishes

I didn't really play with too many main stream polishes this month (but there will be lots coming in November so keep your eyes peeled for those!).  I did however play with a few new Dance Legend polishes.  Are Dance Legend classed as main stream or are they more indie?  I feel like they are some where in between.
 

Anna Gorelova by Dance Legend Summer 2017 (Part) Collection

These polishes are all definitely very 'me' polishes and I just love them.  There are so beautiful.
 

That wraps it up for October.  I can't believe it's already nearly November.  The next two months are going to fly by so fast.  I am definitely not prepared.

Let me know some of the things that you have been loving this month.
