Hello lovelies,

today I'll show you a pretty collection called Holo, Dolly! from Danish Foxy Paws indie brand. The collection consists of seven shades.

"Foxy Paws polish is handpoured and mixed with a love for colour and glitter. They are 4-free, which means they're free from DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde resin. And of course never tested on animals - although the foxes like polished nails, they wouldn't like being test animals."

Put On Your Sunday Clothes - light yellowish green linear holo. It's quite unusual colour to see so that's why I'm starting with it. I'm wearing two thicker coats but three might be even better.

Well Holo, Dolly! - dark magenta holo. I totally love this shade! It's very vibrant and it has very strong holographic effect. I've applied two coats.

A Damned Exasperating Woman - light lavender holo purple. Lovely purple shade with nicely strong holo effect. I'm wearing two thick coats because the pigmentation was slightly lower. My bottle had few bits of unmixed pigment but the polish has been recently reformulated and the new version is clump-free and with even stronger holo effect. This old version is still available as well.

Just Leave Everything To Me - medium green holo. This shade reminds me of a grasshopper, nice green shade. I'm wearing two thicker coats.

Before The Parade Passes By - sky blue holo. This a gorgeous shade of blue, very vibrant and 'summery'. I've applied two thicker coats for the coverage in the pictures.

Elegance - light brown/beige holo. It's indeed an elegant colour, very office friendly but not a shade I would pick out on my own. I'm wearing two thick coats.

They all had the same formula - they applied well, dried fast but the pigmentation was slightly lower so two thick coats or three coats were needed.

If you'd like to purchase Foxy Paws polishes you can do so here (available for international customers too).

Hello lovelies,

when it comes to cuticle and hand care, I am always opened to trying new products in the search of the very best. So when Charlotte from Foxy Paws offered me to trial her Happy Cuticles Treatment Oil, I happily accepted. I've been using it for few weeks now and I can tell you my experience...

About the oil: "Its special formula moisturises and cares for your cuticles with vitamin E and A and aloe vera oil. This is perfect for those of you allergic to almonds - there's absolutely no almonds in this oil."

The first thing that I noticed was the smell. The oil smells lovely and sweet like vanilla and lime. It actually smells exactly like Key lime pie ice cream I recently bought :D It can be a bit overwhelming after a while but if you're not sniffing your nails constantly you'll be fine :)

Happy Cuticles Treatment Oil is a mix of Jojoba, Grape seed and Vinegar oils, A-vitamin oil, E-vitamin oil and Tea Tree oil and the Vanilla and Lime scent. So from this list of ingredients it looks like a good and nutritious mix for cuticles. In the official description it says it contains Aloe Vera oil but I don't see it in the ingredients list. I'll have to ask about this further, maybe it's just missing on the label.

I've been applying the oil regularly for few weeks and my bottle is still pretty much full. It takes only a touch of brush to get enough product on your cuticles. then I like to rub all my nails together to evenly spread the oil and after few minutes I massage the excess oil into the fingers.

Happy Cuticles Treatment Oil soaks in nicely but it takes a while because it's an oil, not a cream. It does leave my skin and cuticles nicely moisturised and it helps to restore flexibility in the nail. I haven't broken a single nail whilst using this oil. If I compare this cuticle oil against some others I've tried, it will be in the top 3.

You can purchase this nail oil and other Foxy Paws products at the Foxy Fingertips website for approximately $11.50 or £7.50. Each bottle contains 15ml of product which does last quite a long time.
