Leighton Denny Nails are a good quality nail polish brand with lots of shade ranges and products that help you achieve amazing looking nails. I’ve used LD before, I’m always impressed with how smoothly LD polishes go onto my nails, every one of the polishes I've tried are smooth and have amazing colour pay off.

LD’s PR company kindly sent me three Halloween themed nail polishes and a beautiful glass nail file to sample over the spooky month of October. All 3 shades have themed shade names and the colours are perfect for All Hallows’ Eve outfits and costumes.

If you haven't of guessed already my favourite colour is purple and I tend to lean more towards this colour in my clothing and makeup so when I was asked "what's my favourite colour in nail polish" I of course said purple. Along came 2 beautiful nail polish shades from Leighton Denny for me to sample, thank you for sending these over.


Leighton Denny launched his own range of professional quality products in 2005 after working with celebrities on fashion shoots, on different events and winning British Nail Technician of year in 2004. All of Leighton Denny's passion poured into the the brand and its now one of the world's leading nail care brands.

The first product I tried from Leighton Denny was the Miracle Mist which I received in a beauty box last year and I was blown away by the product. If you want your freshly polished nails to be touch dry in seconds then you need this product. Its so easy to use as well and nourishes your cuticles too so its a win win product in my opinion. I need to pick up another can of the Miracle Mist as mine has ran out.

Since I was already a fan of the brand I was super excited to try some nail polish shades from them, I was kindly sent 2 purple shades; *'Dress to Impress' and *'Crushed Grape' from the brands PR company. I have been wearing both shades for the past couple of weeks and had many compliments about the colours.


My favourite of the two polishes is 'Dress to Impress' this is a bright pastel shade that is just perfect for the Spring/Summer seasons. I like to wear this one on a daily basis but the Crushed Grape shade is much better for evenings out. Crushed Grape is a darker shade with a plum like colour to it so to me its more of a dressed up shade. Each polish comes in a sturdy bottle with the brands name on the front and you can see the shade through the clear bottle, on the back of the bottle is product information and the shade name.


Applying the polish was quick and easy however I think a bigger shaped brush would of made the application process smoother on my nails. I still found the polish applied neatly even with a small/thin brush, I applied a two thin coats and then my own top coat to each nail. The product dried quickly towards other nail polishes so this was a big advantage if I'd of had some of my Miracle Mist left I wouldn't of had to wait for them to dry at all.


As for longevity I was really really impressed, both Dress to Impress and Crushed Grape lasted 6-7 days on my nails! I had no clipping, marks or loss of colour on my nails until the 6th day of wear so this is amazing for me as it saves me topping my polish up or reapplying throughout the week. You might be thinking that if the polish stayed on my nails for this amount of time that I'd have trouble removing it, well you'd be wrong. With my regular nail polish remover pads the polish came off within minutes and didn't stain my nails in anyway.


I've now been onto the Leighton Denny website to see what other shades I can pick up for summer, I also spotted a selection of polishes in my local M&S so I can pick them up whilst shopping in town too. The polishes cost £12.00 each and with the longevity of them I can see them lasting ages! LD is also cruelty free and has a full range of nail polishes, nail care products and tools available.

Tweexy have created a nifty tool that holds your nail polish so you always have somewhere to put the bottle when painting your nails but you can also wear the Tweexy on your fingers making this such a niche and innovative tool. I personally have been following Tweexy on social media for sometime and I knew about the product, recently Tweexy contacted me to ask if I would like a sample to try, of course I took them up on this offer and here's my thoughts on the amazing tool.


You really can polish on the go with Tweexy, if I'm running late my nails always get pushed back or forgotten about but with this Lilac Dreams (purple) Tweexy I can apply polish whilst travelling either in a car or via train/bus. Having this tool means the bottle of polish is safe from spills or drips, as a very clumsy person I've found this to be a life saver!


The fact that I can wear the nail polish holder on my fingers is another creative quality to Tweexy, there are two tabs on each side of the tool, when you squeeze the tabs inwards the finger rings open, allowing you to attach it too any of your fingers. Once the tool is securely in place, I can insert my chosen nail polish into top of the tool which holds the bottle. I can open and close the bottle at ease because the silicone material has enough grip to hold the bottle in place; I just have to gently press down on the bottle and twist the cap off.


I was very surprised to find that my Tweexy fits so many different shaped bottles of polish, I tried every bottle shape I had including miniature polishes, square, circular and large standard sized bottles. All of them fit comfortably in the tool! I won't be be applying my nail polish without this tool from now on because it makes a sometimes tedious task so much quicker and efficient.


The Tweexy is available in a range of colours from this lilac dreams purple to spa green and sapphire night blue, you can buy your favourite colour for £14.95 from the Onogo website.
