Blog Announcement and a little nude!

Hi Guys,

I know you're probably sick of hearing this, but I've had a really busy day today! I went to town to post my giveaway prize to Charlotte and to do a bit of shopping and I was so tired when I got home. It's about a 25 minute walk to town, which really takes it out of me when I'm pushing my son in his pram!

I have a bit of an announcement to make anyway. I'm going to focus on post quality from now on, not quantity. When I first started this blog I planned to post every other day, but it ended up that I started posting every day and just kept that up. 

This afternoon I realised it's all getting on top of me. I'm struggling to keep my house tidy, swatch polishes and eat three square meals a day all at the same time, as well as providing my son with all the love and attention that he deserves! So something has to give, and that's the blog! I always said I'd treat this like a job and focus on it, but I realised I don't want to feel like I HAVE to blog, rather than wanting to!

So from now on I'm going to post four times a week... I'm thinking Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but of course that could change. This way, I'll have my weekends off and a day in the middle!

Thank you all so much for your support thus far, I'm eternally grateful.

So... Enough of that and onto the polish! It's just a quickie though!

I've been wearing a lot of black recently and it's given me some staining. Plus I've been doing a lot of preparation for a series of guest posts I'll be doing for Island Girl Insights and that's left me with raggedy cuticles! Sooo much polish remover has been on my skin the last couple of days. When I'm in this situation I go for naked nails, or, better yet... A NUDE! I just bought a new one from MUA, it's called Shade 19 and it's a greige-nude creme. I's kind of a coffee colour and I'm in LOVE!!!!! I don't wear a lot of nudes because I don't think they suit me, but this one really does.

I used two coats for this photo, which doesn't do it justice by the way!

Pretty, shame the colour in the bottle has separated slightly

I'll also have a layering combo of this coming up after the weekend that could possibly be my favourite layering combination of all time!

You can find this at Superdrug where it retails for £1... Go out and buy it now, I insist!

Home Sweet Home and 30 Follower Giveaway!!!!

Hello!

I'm so sorry I missed a day of posting without warning last night. My boyfriend got "the call" that he had to go away and work, so we had to pack up all our things and come home last night. We left the house at around 7.30, then stopped off at my friend's house on the way, and we didn't get home until 1am! So I had no time to write a post!

After such a long trip I was so glad to get home, there's nothing like coming home and getting into your own bed.

Anyway, I don't have a polish to show you tonight, but this is the official announcement of my 30 follower giveaway! I promised I'd do one and the prize got bigger and bigger while I was waiting, and this morning I gained follower number thirty and so the giveaway is going ahead.

Tomorrow I will be revealing the four polishes that make up the prize. There are two gorgeous scattered holos and two glass fleck duochrome top coats. I'll be swatching them tomorrow and then the photos will be up tomorrow evening. 

I've decided to throw another polish into the prize. The two holos can obviously be worn as they are. but the top coats need to be layered, so I'll be throwing in a black creme too! I'm too generous for my own good, but I'm so appreciative for the support you've given me that I want to give back! I'm giving myself a couple of extra days to make sure I've got the prize together

Here are some things you need to know:

1. There will be ONE winner who will win all five polishes

2. This giveaway is only open to those who follow via GFC. If you're already a follower on there you've done enough, but if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then follow via GFC to be eligible to win.

3. This giveaway is open INTERNATIONALLY, but I can't be held responsible if your prize doesn't arrive in one piece, or at all. Customs is out of my hands...

4. The draw will be done by a random list by random.org and I'll post a screenshot of the results.

5. The draw will be on Sunday 10th of June at 12pm GMT.

6. When I post the results, the winner will have 72 hours to respond or I'll pick a new winner.

Any other questions, drop me an email at trulypolishedblog@gmail.com and I'll try my best to answer them.

All that's left to say is that I can't wait to do this giveaway! Stay tuned tomorrow to see what the prize contains!
