NOTD - Rule Britannia by True Brit London


Hello there lovely readers!

Hope you're all having a not too blue Monday! After a few days in the capital city for my birthday, I found myself back in the office yesterday on a working Sunday (boo!) so remedied that with a much needed day off today as lets just say ones limbs may still be recovering haha! If you follow moi on social media you'll know that I visited Lady Dinahs Cat Emporium for high tea as part of the birthday celebrations & FYI cat lovers...definitely go! Such a cute gem of a place hidden away in Shoreditch, you will love it! Mumma bear is already begging I take her! :)


Now you can't go wrong with a perfect red polish can you? Like a lipstick, every girl should also have a signature red polish in her collection & the polish I have to show you today is True Brit London's offering in the form of the elegant Rule Britannia* from the Essentials Collection.


With a polish named thus, I couldn't resist glamming it up with some serious bling! But first things first lets start with that divooone shade. FYI dolls...photographing red tones is an absolute pain in the caboose! However I did my bestest to capture it. Rule Britannia is a lovely vintage vibrant red which veers more towards the orange toned red family.


This was two coats applied & as always with True Brit London polishes the formula was faultless, so smooth to apply & dries to a lovely glossy finish. I've found that a lot of the True Brit London polishes are easily one coaters which is fab! However I'm a creature of habit & always go for my two!


Once dry I decided to dab on some gold glitter starting from the cuticles using a gold glitter Color Club polish before dragging down slightly to create a subtle gradient effect.


Now on to that pretty nail jewellery, its a bobby dazzler huh?! This pretty nail charm twas purchased from my fav nail art supply store Charlie's Nail Art & seemed quite fitting & the perfect accessory for my Rule Britannia manicure. The great thing about these lovely nail charms is that they can be re-used again!


I applied the True Brit London Gloss topcoat to each nail as well as using it to help stick the nail charm on the nail, as its a lovely thick formula, the charm held strong for the whole duration I wore the mani.


Thanks as always for reading lovelies! True Brit London polishes retail for £12.50 & can be found online. Don't forget you can also get 10% off your order using my special code TRULY10.

Lotsa love to ya!

NOTD - Knightsbridge by True Brit London

Hi there lovely readers!

Earlier on this week I blogged about exciting new brand to enter the nail polish world, True Brit London*, today I have another offering from their range to share with you. So far I've shown you Cream Tea, a scrummy angelic baby pink creme. When it came to deciding which polish to play with next I opted for the beaut Knightsbridge* from the Signature Collection...




Knightsbridge* is a rather lovely, earthy grey/olive green toned foil, really unusual & from the top of my head nothing quite like anything I own, so I'm completely in love with the uniqueness of it.




The formula is thick yet applied smoothly over the True Brit London Caviar base coat. With foils there is the risk of serious streaking & a ridged finish however I experienced no problems with Knightsbridge* & you can actually get away with just one coat as it was totally opaque.




I'm a creature of habit however & stuck to my religious two coats which dried in quick time with a nice smooth & shimmery almost mirror like reflective finish.




I applied a coat of the True Brit London Topcoat on top & for a little added extra detail, stuck on a pretty cross nail charm which I purchased from Charlies Nail Art store. Definitely worth checking this online nail art store for bargainous supplies! 




The topcoat is lovely & thick therefore was perfect for sticking down the charm without the need for glue. I think the cross charm & polish go so well together, giving the mani a gothic Medieval vibe!




Definitely an interesting & unique one from the Signature collection! True Brit London polishes retail for £12.50 & are currently available online, however I anticipate they will be making their pretty way into retail stores soon!



Thanks as always for reading lovelies, I still have two shades to share with you from the range so stay tuned!



Lotsa love to ya!
