I know this is my second haul this month and I apologize, I have just been really busy lately and I still wanted to post some content on my blog. I know hauls are boring I promise I will try to post better content, please leave a comment and tell me what you would like to see on my blog, I would really appreciate the feedback. These are polishes I purchased on nail polish direct on the sale page, I am a sucker for a bargain and Leighton Denny polishes are usually £11 each so I couldn't resist. http://www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk/nails-c92/sale-c231

China glaze- All aboard collection part 2
Stop
that train
Stop
the train is a metallic burnt orange polish with a gold shimmer
running through it. The first coat applied quiet patchy and because
the polish is a metallic polish you could slightly see the brush
stokes, the second coat covered all the patchiness of the first coat.
The consistency of this polish is slightly on the thinner side, I
would just recommend you take your time when applying this polish.
Choo-
Choo choose you
Choo choo choose you is a beautiful unique polish this polish is a mid toned plum polish that has a gold and green duo chrome, in different lighting this polish looks red,brown,olive green and gold its a beautiful polish. The formulation isn't the greatest for this polish the first coat I applied was sheer and patchy and I did have to apply three coats to make the polish fully opaque, also the consistency for this polish is on the thin side but it wasn't to hard to apply the polish wasn't running off the brush to much.
Conduct
yourself
Conduct
yourself is a deep oxblood red polish with a ruby shimmer running
through it, the polish sometimes looks purple depending on the light.
Unfortunately the shimmer doesn't come across on the nails so well
which is a shame. The first coat applied slightly patchy but the
polish is fully opaque in two coats, again like the other polishes
the consistency is on the thin side but its not to hard to apply.
Mind
the gap
Mind
the gap is a khaki/olive green polish with a lime green shimmer
running through it. The coverage is very sheer I had to apply three
generous coats to make the polish fully opaque, the consistency of
the polish is good its not to thick or thin. I do think this polish
will be a hit or miss the colour of this polish might not suit
everyone's skin tone but the colour is lovely.
Loco-motive
Loco-motive
is a clear based polish packed with black and orange glitter. I
would suggest this polish would be used as a topper, I applied four
coats and I felt the polish wasn't fully opaque and the polish was
getting slightly thick on the nail. I think this polish would look
good under a purple or green this polish would be a perfect Halloween
polish.
Lug
your designer baggage
Lug
your designer baggage is a medium chocolate brown polish with gold
flakes running through it. The flakes in this polish aren't to big
which is good they apply smoothly and you don't have to dig for them
to apply them on the nail. The coverage is decent but not fully
opaque on the first coat so I applied two also the polish doesn't
apply streaky or patchy.
Nice
caboose
Nice
caboose is a lovely colour the polish is a medium purple with some
red and pink mixed in, the polish has a pink shimmer and silver
flakes running through it. The flakes don't apply to the nail very
well I think I got two flakes out of a full manicure. I applied 2
coats and the polish was fully opaque and the consistency of the
polish is nice it applied smoothly.
I
purchased the whole collection from amazon

China glaze - All aboard collection part 1
What
are you A-freight of?
What
are you a-freight of is a chocolaty brown with a hint of red. The
coverage for this polish is good you can get away with one coat if
you do a thick enough coat but I preferred to apply two coats of
polish. The consistency of this polish is fine its not thin or thick.
All
aboard
All
aboard is a medium plum polish, this polish applied slightly patchy
on the first coat but the second coat covered everything. The
consistency of the polish is good, the polish wasn't so thick that it
was harder to apply and it wasn't so thin that it was running of the
brush.
Well
trained
Well
trained is a forest green polish, the polish did apply slightly
patchy on some of my nails but the second coat made the polish fully
opaque. The consistency is good nothing to complain about.
Don't
get derailed
Don't
get derailed is a khaki green polish that is opaque in one coat and
the consistency was good, there is not much to say about this polish
its just a khaki polish with a good formulation.
One
track mind
One
track mind is a navy blue polish, this polish could be a one coater
but the polish was slightly patchy on some nails so I painted two
coats. The consistency again is good the polish applies smoothly.

Butter London – Nail apothecary set
Melt
away- Cuticle eliminator
Melt
away is quite a good cuticle remover it did do the job it stated it
would do. I don't think this cuticle remover blew my socks off, it,s
just good I have other cheaper alternatives that do the same job, I
do think £17 is a bit expensive for the full size of this product
but each to their own if you are willing to spend that kind of money
on a cuticle remover that does what it says on the tin that is
totally your choice.
Hardwear-
P.D Quick topcoat
I
found the consistency quite thin which I'm not the biggest fan of but
its all personal preference. The polish itself did dry quite fast and
it dried glossy, again the price is a bit steep but that's just my
opinion.
Horse
power – Nail fertilizer
This
product states that it will help to strengthen and repair nails, I
did feel like it made my nails stronger but I just want to mention
just to be careful with this product because sometimes strengtheners
can make your nails so hard that they break and you need to have some
flexibility in your nails, so unless your nails are like paper I
wouldn't recommend the four weeks it says to use this product I would
recommend you use this product for 1-2 weeks if your nails are
normal. The treatment is good I would spend that little more on a
treatment or oil for my nails so if you have short paper thin peeling
nails I would recommend this product.
Matte
finish – Shine free topcoat
This
product has quite a thin consistency just like the other topcoat I
mentioned in this post, like I said I'm not a fan of the consistency
but that's just my preference. The polish did dry matte so if you
like the finish this might be the product for you. I'm not a huge fan
of the matte finish so I don't think I will get much use out of this
product but if you are in the market for a matte topcoat this might
be the topcoat for you.
Nail
foundation – Flawless basecoat
This
basecoat looks like a peachy nude polish but it doesn't apply that
way on the nail at all it dries clear and matte. The consistency of
this basecoat is like the two topcoats in this blog post the polish
is on the thin side but its not to hard to work with. I think this
base coat is fine its nothing to shout about its just ok.
Handbag
holiday – Cuticle oil
I
am a cuticle oil/cream/butter addict , I don't know why I'm obsessed
with cuticle products but I am, unfortunately I'm not the biggest fan
of this cuticle oil for a few reasons. Reason 1, the smell I hate
coconut and pineapple and the smell of them in this oil is
overpowering the smell will linger on your nails, but if you like
them smells you will be fine . Reason 2, for me the oil wasn't that
nourishing it was ok but I still had dry patches on my nails/cuticles
and I used this product religiously three/four times a day everyday
for three weeks and using a oil that claims that it's nourishing that
many times a day, I shouldn't be getting dry cuticles . And reason 3,
I like to apply cuticle oil to the underside of my nail and the brush
for this product is quite limp the brush isn't stiff so it was harder
to apply the oil on the underside of my nail, but that's nothing
major some people don't apply nail oil to the underside of the nail
its just I prefer to apply my oil there I feel it helps with the
condition of the nail.
I
purchased this set from butter London I think its a ok set if you
want to try before you buy the bigger sizes

My Favorite purple polishes
This
is the forth post in my favorite series and today is the turn of the
purple polishes
Nails inc – Lowndes square
Lowndes
square is a lovely dusky lilac polish, depending on how thick a layer
you apply you will get away with one coat of this polish. The polish
doesn't apply streaky or patchy which is great, I just think this is
such a classy and sophisticated colour, if you have meetings for work
and you still want to wear a colour on your nails I think this would
be the perfect polish. I love this polish so much I have a backup.Avon – Decadence
Decadence
is a deep purple/red polish with a silver/blue shimmer running
through the polish. The coverage is slightly sheer on the first coat
and I will say depending on how thick a coat you apply it will take
2-3 coats for this polish to be fully opaque. There is a downfall
with this polish the shimmer doesn't come across on the nail which is
disappointing but the colour is still lovely.Maybelline color show – Noite De Gal
Noite
de gal is a lovely deep plum polish, this polish applies smoothly it
has a nice formulation it does take two coats for this polish to be
fully opaque. I just love to wear a deep purple/plum polish in the
colder months and this polish is so easy to apply.
Nails
inc – Suffolk street
Suffolk
street is a deep aubergine polish, this polish is a one coater. The
consistency of this polish is on the the thicker side but its not
hard to use, this polish dries demi matte so if you like that finish
don't add a topcoat but if you like the high shine finish just add a
topcoat of your choice.Thanks for reading
