Shopping: July 2025

July is my birthday month and I was given quite a few bits which I am grateful for;

ILNP After Hours // Cuticula Saguaro Sunset // KbShimmer Ex-Static // ILNP Take a Bow // Ethereal Midsummer Eve // Chameleon Little Mermaid

Aqua Aura // Lavender Lights // Silver Stardust

Orly was one of my go to mainstream brands, I no longer support the brand but was kindly given the 2022 collection and I will continue to use up the polishes but not purchase from myself.

Oh My Stars // Faux Fir // Lost in the Maize // Light My (Camp) Fire // Cran-Barely Believe It // I'll Misty You

Topic Tuesday: Brands You Want to Try in 2021 - Update

In January I said I would like to try more Danglefoot, ILNP and Fancy Gloss this year.

Danglefoot is on hiatus because of maternity leave so I haven't bought anything from them this year.

I have two new ILNP, Black Orchid and Funshine Smoothie.

As for Fancy Gloss I have a black clear thermal from them which will be good for peek-a-boo style Halloween nails.
