{Unboxing} Kikki K Pink Textured Planner

Hi guys!
Ah, I feel like I say this every time I post but I'm so sorry for the lack of posts. Argh, I feel really awful about it. I'm sorry! I have been pretty busy with my Etsy shop lately, and other stuff. You know how it goes!

Anyway, I shared a video on my YouTube channel on Friday showing an unboxing of my new Pink Textured Kikki.K Planner! You can check it out here, or watch below! :)

I hope to have a video up later this week or early next week, showing how I'm using this planner and my current planning system. I'm trying to figure out what works best for me, but it just keeps changing!

I'm able to film more videos now, which is great, so if you have any video requests, be sure to let me know!

Thanks for reading/watching. ♥

Happy Saturday.

Happy Saturday morning everyone! {Or whatever day/time it is when you're reading this!} I hope your weekend is off to a great start.

I hadn't planned on posting a blog post today, but I just got the urge to write something. So here I am!

I'm pretty excited that it's the weekend! Saturday in particular. Saturdays are probably my favourite day. I love Saturday mornings! I don't really know why. I don't sleep in, I get up at the same time as I do every other day. Something about Saturday morning is just nice.
Saturday afternoons, we usually do our food shopping and then spend the rest of the day at home.
And then Saturday nights, my husband and I have a date night, which is always fun, no matter what we do! A lot of the time we just stay home and watch a movie {it's too cold go to out!}. So Saturdays are definitely my favourite!
What is your favourite day of the week?!

I just painted my nails this morning, and I felt like showing you {and my pretty Kikki.K in the background}! I've used Face of Australia "Jafar", a super dark, deep red {almost black!}, from their Dark Side collection. I absolutely love this collection.

I have to be honest, though. These are not my nails. They're actually fake glue-on nails. I was trying to grow out my nails to this length/shape but it was just not happening. And I got so impatient. So, I bought some glue on nails. I told myself I'd never wear fake nails after I had acrylics back in the day, but I really like these! I don't think they actually look very fake {my opinion - you may think otherwise}. I know they'll only last me maybe 5-7 days maximum, because by then they will probably look a bit gross, but that's fine with me!

I uploaded an updated look at my Kikki.K Lilac Planner set up on my YouTube channel the other day, if you're interested in seeing that!
I am absolutely loving my Kikki.K Lilac planner and I haven't moved out of it since I got it, which is weird for me. I can't even see myself moving out of it soon.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! ♥ Let me know what you're getting up to!

Love Thy Polish Swatches

Hi guys! I have some new polishes from Love Thy Polish to share with you today! :) There are 3 holographic polishes, a duochrome, a glitter topper and a jelly glitter! :D Something for everyone in this post.

This post is a bit pic heavy so click 'Read More' to see the swatches! :)

Shades of Phoenix Beware of the Dark Arts Collection Swatches + Video

Hi guys! Today I have a new collection from Shades of Phoenix to show you! I'm so so excited about this collection! It's called the Beware of the Dark Arts collection, and it is inspired by Harry Potter! The Harry Potter books & movies are some of my all-time faves. When I was 9-10 I was obsessed with Harry Potter and remember watching the first movie a L.O.T that year.
These polishes are all beautiful sparkly glitter polishes in a dark base, and they're all named after spells that have been used in a form of "Defence Against the Dark Arts". Very vampy colours and super nice for winter especially.

This will be pic heavy so the rest of this review is after the jump!

How I Apply Glitter Polishes (Video)

Hey guys! Just a quick little post for you tonight to share my newest YouTube video with you.

I had some requests to show how I apply glitter nail polishes, particularly indie brand glitters. They can definitely be much trickier to apply than a plain creme polish.

I hope this video helps those of you who are having trouble applying glitter polishes.

Lately I'm updating my YouTube channel at least twice a week, but I haven't been sharing all of my videos here in case some of you aren't interested in them. Haha.

Some of my other new videos:

• Collective Haul - Nail Polish & Lipsticks

• My Favourite Green Nail Polishes

• Colours of the Rainbow Tag

Please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already - I'd love it. :) And let me know if you have any video requests too. I haven't made a nail art tutorial in a while!

What's In-die Box? Review + Unboxing Video

Hey guys! I have a super awesome & exciting post to share with you today! :)

What's In-die Box? is a brand new monthly box for INDIE POLISHES for Aussies! This is super exciting even just for the fact that there's finally a good monthly box available to Aussies! I was always super jealous seeing girls from the US/other countries receiving monthly boxes and not being able to get in on it!

You do not have to subscribe to What's In-die Box, which I think is an awesome feature. You just pre-order in advance for whichever box you want to purchase! So great because you're not locked into anything. :)

Every month the What's In-die Box will have a fun theme, and will include 5 polishes from 5 different Aussie indie brands! Some polishes may be exclusive to the box, or limited edition which is so awesome! Every single polish in the boxes is a brand new release, so you won't receive a polish you already own which is good for girls who already have a large indie polish collection.
The polishes come in a cute box with some tissue paper strips inside and all the polishes are wrapped up really nicely in bubble wrap. There's also a card inside that tells you exactly what's inside the box. :) (Keep reading and at the bottom of the post will be my unboxing video, so you can see exactly what it looks like when you open the box.)

The June What's In-die Box went out this month and the theme was Toy Story! So cool, and who doesn't love Toy Story?! :)
The June box includes a polish from Glam Polish, Peita's Polish, Love Thy Polish, Alanna Renee and Lilypad Lacquer.

Without further ado, the swatches are after the jump :D
