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 is 2020

I had wanted to try a polish by KBShimmer, Take it or Leaf it, but I don't think it's on sale anymore. I was lusting after a topper polish, a copper duochrome flakie, basically Autumn in a top coat. So I think I want to try Fancy Gloss in the shade Magma.

I would have liked to share a photo of the polish I wanted to try, however I am yet to try it!
