This
year I started my blog and I have really loved doing it, I am
probably the most boring 23 year old ever, I love my home comforts I
don't party much I would rather be all cozy at home in my lounge wear
than out and about but that does get a bit samey after a while but
blogging has just changed my routine and I love it. I may not be the
greatest wordsmith in the world but I am passionate about nail polish
and nail care items and I hope that comes across in my blog posts,
and that is why blogging is one of my favorites this year.
Indie polish
I
still love mainstream nail polish brands but I discovered indie nail
polish this year and I'm glad I did. The indie market I feel is a lot
smaller but indie sellers can experiment more with glitters and
colours because they don't have to impress the masses of people, but
that's what I love about indie sellers the creativity of there
polishes and the variety they produce. I am not the biggest fan of
the prices, indie polishes are sightly more on the pricey side and
can be harder to buy but I love the diversity.
Cuticle oils/ Cuticle products
I
loved and cared for my nails before I started blogging or so I
thought, I didn't realize how bad my nails and cuticles were until I
started taking close up pictures of my nails for blogging. I invested
in cuticle products and now I'm slightly addicted to cuticle oils,
balms and butters I'm so addictive I have filled two muji drawers
full of just cuticle products. I honestly try to persuade everyone in
my life to use cuticle oil because its really beneficial it will help
soften your cuticles but it also helps your nails to be healthy and
grow and be in the best condition they can be. I can honestly go on
for hours about cuticle oils and cuticle products and that's why they
are in my yearly favorites.
Monthly nail subscription boxes
I
used to be subscribed to glossybox, birchbox and all the usual beauty
box suspects and I just never felt like I was getting my moneys worth
I was receiving the same products on different months, but this year
for me seemed to be the year of monthly nail subscription boxes and
I'm addicted I haven't received a double of a product and I feel they
are worth their money. I subscribed to three different boxes this
year Meebox, Nailbox and the Paint the rainbow box. Meebox and
nailbox contain more mainstream brands like nails inc, china glaze,
O.P.I and elegant touch and you can get tools and treatments in the
boxes but the paint the rainbow box is provided by the site Rainbow
connection which sells indie brands, the paint the rainbow box has a
different theme each month and the site works closely with the polish
brands to make polishes especially for that months box, the paint the
rainbow box is slightly on the expensive side but the polishes are
one of a kind and made for that specific box and month so I can
understand paying a little bit more for that subscription box.

The born pretty store
I
didn't find out about this website till a lot later in the year but
once you have a look on the site and see the prices and notice the
free worldwide shipping the site will get slightly addictive. I
wanted to get into nail stamping and be more experimental with nail
art and I came across this site and saw that they sell stamping
plates at really cheep prices so I decided to get a few, now the only
downfall is that your parcel will take 3 weeks maybe longer to arrive
because I think they are shipping from Singapore so your parcel
might take a little while but they have a lovely customer service and
sometimes they pop an extra into your parcel. The prices are really
inexpensive a stamping plate can be as little as $0.99 which is 66p
which in my eyes is a bargain especially when the postage is free.
The site does have a lot of nail art items but they also stock
jewelry and beauty products at really good prices I would defiantly
advise you check the website out.
Thanks
for reading
