It's been a little while! I've had some things going on, plus my nails have been in terrible shape.

Colors By Llarowe Fall 2015

Press Sample 

I had an amazing time in Edinburgh, what a beautiful city! I saw a Panda, Koalas, went on a ghost hunt and ate far too much food. Also, while I was away, the whole thing with Mentality Polish blew up (if you're unaware about the fiasco, read this post by The Mercurial Magpie) I don't want to dedicate much blog space to that brand, so I'll just say I will never touch them but I continue to support indies, and I hope the girls who've been affected recover quickly. Anyway, I have all ten shades from the Fall 2015 collection by Colors by Llarowe to share with you today, so as you can imagine this post is pretty picture heavy.

Hi! I've had a mad busy week and forgot to schedule in some posts, so sorry for that! Getting back on track now. The best bit of my week was the Coty Nail Event in London on Thursday. I met up with 2 of my best blogger friends, Alice and Sammy, and we went to the event together. We were really spoiled by the wonderful Coty team and got a peek at all the new and upcoming releases. Afterwards we got taken out for some lovely food by Laura from Rimmel London. How exciting! We also bumped into Emma and Jo from Dahlia Nails, who were both lovely. Can't wait for the next event!

Anyway, today I've got swatches of the beautiful Burne-Jones Dream collection from a-england.
