Bye Bye Google Reader

Just a quick post tonight with no nails unfortunately, but a little bit of information.

I have left this a little late but as you probably already know, Google Reader is shutting down from the 01 July and as from that date, you will lose the list of blogs you follow on there.

Another great way to follow a lot of blogs in one place is on Bloglovin’, even if you don't already use it, you can sign up and easily transfer the list of all the blogs you already follow on Google Reader.

Here is the link to mine for you all (which is also on my sidebar with other ways to follow too), see you there xx

Mont Bleu Glass Nail Files

I have a little something different for you all tonight, the lovely people at Mont Bleu asked me to review their products and I was more than happy to say yes.

Mont Bleu sell Glass Nails Files - and other products - which are made in the Czech Republic.

This isn't my first encounter with Czech glass nail files, I have been to Prague on a few occasions and picked up some of these before, not sure of the company who made my other ones, might be the same, but I always loved them.  It has been about 5 years since my last trip to Prague and I was still using the nail files I got at that time.

The ones sent by Mont Bleu are no different.  They were nice enough to send a standard glass file decorated with Swarovski crystals, a large foot file which is also decorated with crystals and a mini coloured handbag file.  They were also kind enough to send my a pair of crystal decorated tweezers and a stunning pair of Crystal earings.

Here are pictures of the items I got.

Now not only do these nail files look pretty, the last for years, as I said my ones from Prague before are still holding up after 5+ years and I am sure these ones will be no exception.

I have also developed a little obsession with the earings, I don't wear earings often and if I do they are just plain studs and these get a compliment everytime I wear them, I would love to pick up some other sets of these at somepoint.

If you want to see more of these files or have a look at any of the other great products, head over to the Mont Bleu site.

Thanks for looking <3

Nails Inc Bermondsey - Denim and Andrea Fulerton Dot and Flick White

I have for you all today another of the Nails Inc Textured polishes, this time I have Bermondsey which is a Denim effect.

Again I loved this one, it was pretty easy to apply but as with the other texture polishes you have to wait a little between coats to avoid messing the polish up.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and no top coat.

I had also recently received the new Andrea Fulerton Dot and Flick pen in White.  I loved the black version so was excited to try the White one too.

I decided to try and create a stitching effect on top of the demin polish, the Dot and Flick pen was great and easy to use, and also very pigminted as covered over the blue polish easily.

So here is my attempt at nail art using the pen, still no top coat as wanted to keep the denim effect base.

Nail'd It Peace Love and Hairspray

I have for you today a fun polish from Nail'd It called Peace Love and Hairspray.

This polish is made up of a variety of different colours and shapes in a clear base.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of a-england Princess Tears, 1 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

I loved wearing this one, so fun and it was also easy to apply, even with getting the larger shapes out of the bottle.

I imagine this one would look great over a variety of colours.

You can purchase Nail'd It polishes from Llarowe, I can't see this one on the site at the moment but there are some other great ones there too.
