Monthly Empties: March 2025


Nails Inc Electric Teal | Dark green cream polish, it was free with a magazine in 2011. I liked it and tried using it as a base for glitter this past month but couldn't get any more out [swatch].
W7 Salt n Pepper | This was a black speckled glitter in a white base, when I went to use it though it has bled and turned grey and also was chunky, it was from 2012 so time to dispose of [swatch].
A Certain Becca Lacquer Snow Pixie | Scent dupe of Lush's Snow Fairy, I liked the scent and the formula. The dropper bottle was also nice as I could apply on cuticles and under nails. Only issue was with the label falling off but the product itself was great and I would repurchase.


Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50 | I'd had this a year so was time to get rid, it works with or without make up and doesn't leave a white cast. I have since repurchased.
Simple Moisturisng Facial Wash | I used this three times and every time it left my face really tight and dry, then the next day my skin started peeling. It was anything but moisturising and once I worked out what was causing my skin issues I just had to stop using. Would not repurchase!


Superdrug Fruity Orange and Satsuma Shower Gel | Basic shower gel, smells of oranges. I would repurchase.
Aldi Lacura Sweet Angel Shower Gel | Scent dupe of Lush Snow Fairy, another good basic shower gel scented of sweet pear drops. I would repurchase.
Soap and Glory Call of Fruity Body Scrub | A thick scrub which is nice as it actually stuck to me as I was using it. The scent was generic fruity, I don't have much of a want for body scrub so wouldn't repurchase.


Avon Sunkissed Sunsets Bubble Bath | Creates a fair amount of bubbles, scent was slightly masculine and did linger on my skin. Not sure I would repurchase this scent.
Lush Lugosi Bubble Bar | Created a lot of bubbles, looked like a vampire and was scented of blackberries. I think it was supposed to glow in the dark but I didn't check for that. I did find it left the bath dark and so required extra scrubbing afterwards so not a repurchase.
Lush Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb | Shaped like a pumpkin. Scent was vague lime, cinnamon and pepper. I don't think I would repurchase this.
Baylis & Harding Bath Soak Crystals | I got these as part of a gift, I didn't find they were particularly scented and didn't notice any extra relaxing properties than a bath without them.

Nails: Remembrance Sunday

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Sunday Stamping: Autumn

I really don't think these nails worked, I tried to do a stamping gradient which probably would have worked if I hadn't also done a gradient of similar colours as the base.

Sunday Stamping: Dotting Tools

As always with Stamping on Sunday there is a stamping challenge on a sunday, you can join the group here if you like. Today was using a dotting tool, along with stamping, which involved a bit of thought on my part.
