Time for another edition of Ranty Lab Muffin! Today we’re dealing with Disney’s first animated feature: 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It feels wrong to lay into a senior citizen of a film from contemporary perspectives, so let’s quickly breeze through a few obvious points that I largely covered last week in my grumpy Jasmine rant: – Hot …
I’ve never really been a fan of the Disney Princess franchise, not even as a kid. I loved the catchy songs, and the bold and cheerful animation, but the films never sat well with me, and as a child, I didn’t really have the analytical skills nor the vocabulary to explain why.

This week’s theme is colour blocks. My first ever idea for nail art was a Mondrian design but my skills weren’t quite up to it then – now that I’m a bit better, I gave it a try again, this time much more successfully! I have a Mondrian-inspired dress that I love to bits, so here it is with my …

I was a bit unsure of the black glitter dust (also in Reptar) at first, but it’s really grown on me. As well as the black dust, Ablaze has irregular matte yellow, orange …
Today I have something special – my first set of swatches from a new indie nail polish line, Alanna Renee. This was created by Alanna of Pretty Purple Polish, one of the first friends I made blogging. If you’ve seen her blog, you’ll know that she knows her polish! Alanna Renee launched last week, and several shades are sold out …
