NOTD! (Nail of the day)

This is the Nail Polish I'm wearing today.

Models Own - Indian Ocean

 

Bloggers went nuts about this nail polish ages ago, but I've only discovered it recently and I love it.

I don't think the pictures do it justice. It's a light blue nail polish with purple glitter in it. 

This is quite a subtle nail polish and I think it's due to the purple glitter. It's not so in your face as other light blue nail polish because it's duo-chrome.

 

This nail polish is from the Beetlejuice collection from Models Own and retails at £5.

NOTD ( Nail of the Day )

It was sunny yesterday and I'm getting a bit tired of dark nail polishes. I love dark nail polishes, but I just wanted something brighter.

This is Max factor's Max Effect Mini Nail Polish in Diva Violet.

 

I like this nail polish because it's a MINI nail polish.  I'm more likely to finish this nail polish in comparison to my bigger nail polish bottles etc. Butter London and Barry M.

 

 

Also, I like this colour for spring because it's bright, but not too bright!

 

This nail polish retails at £3.99, which I think is quite expensive for a mini nail polish considering that Barry M nail paints are  £2.99 for a "normal" sized bottle.  BUT, I do love their nail polishes!

 

I also own the colour Fantasy Fire, which I recommend.  IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

Another colour they have (which I want to buy) is Graffiti!

 

It's 3 for 2 in Boots at the moment, so it's worth having a look! 

You could get 3 mini nail polishes for under £8.

Mini Haul!

Yes, I went shopping....
In my defence there was a sale in RiverIsland and I had a voucher + it was 3 for 2 in boots...
I bought four things.

This is a red geometric print skater skirt (according to the website).  I picked this up because I thought it would be nice to wear now with thick tights or legging, but also it will look nice in the summer!  RiverIsland have tons of skirts on sale in this style! I would go and have a look if I were you. 
This skirt is on sale on the website for £10 at the moment! ( I got it in store for £10 too!) They only have size 16 and 18 left at the moment.  Sorry if it's gone, but here is the link = red geometric print skater skirt

Then I went to boots.

I really wanted a foundation brush.  I have an ecotools foundation brush, but when that gets really dirty I want to switch brushes. ( Realtechniques are supposed to be the best around - we'll see!).  So I bought a stippling brush. I've saw Tanya Burr use this for her foundation, so it's her fault that I bought it...  I liked the way her foundation looked on her after she used this brush.

I thought, I might as well try another brush because it's 3 for 2 at Boots so I picked up the Realtechniques powder brush.  I've been using sponges for my powder foundation for years, now is the time to use a proper brush!  I have to admit, when I got home I opened the brushes straight away and they are really soft. (Yes, I'm strange.)

So, I had what I wanted, but oh dear, I have to pick up my "free" item or the 3 for 2 offer wouldn't work.  I'm so disappointed... HAHA! It was an excuse for me to buy a coral nail polish and coral is on trend this season.  I picked up Essie's Cute as a Button. It's a pinky coral and I'm very excited to try it. Nail of the Day coming soon.

Have you bought anything in the sales?

P.S, I'm on the hunt for a coral handbag.  Found one in outfit but it was £45, I do love it, but that's too expensive. Any suggestions?

Beauty Haul and Birthday wishes!

I recently celebrated my 18th birthday! Firstly, I would like to thank my family and friends for making it such a wonderful birthday.  I was overwhelmed by your generosity. 

 

Here's a sneak peek of what I received beauty wise. Therefore there will be more reviews! YAY!

 

I think I squealed when I saw the Jo Malone box.  Seriously.

My Top 5 Favourite Nail Polishes!

I hope you're all having a great Mother's Day! These are my favourite nail polishes at the moment.
( Sorry for the low quality - I'm a newbie!)

The first I'd like to talk about is Models Own nail polish in Champagne.

It's a rose gold/champagne colour that looks beautiful on the nails. I believe some gold nail polishes can look tacky, but this one is perfect :) Models Own nail polishes are £5 each, but at the moment they are 2 for £8! ( I want to get Indian Ocean next!!!)

(awful quality... I know)

This is a mini version of OPI's 'I'm not really a waitress'.  It's deep red nail polish with tiny bits of glitter in it - the perfect red nail polish in my opinion.  Although OPI is not cheap, I would recommend trying the brand because the lasting power of the nail polish is great! ( use base coat and topcoat - it makes your nail polish last longer)  on lenawhite.com they are £11.50, but I believe you can buy OPI in John Lewis.

Yes I own a Butter London nail polish... I still can't believe it!  I've always wanted a nail polish from this brand but the price tag always put me off! I own "Lady Muck" and it's a gorgeous icy blue.  I love this nail polish even more because it was 70% off in Debenhams at the time! ( I thought it was a joke)  Butter London nail polishes are £15 each.

It looks like a black nail polish, but it's a very dark purple. Its OPI's Linkin Park After Dark - one of their most popular nail polishes! I always seem to gravitate towards this nail polish when I can't be bothered to think about what colour I want to paint my nails. (It makes sense to me!)  I think I can say this is my FAVOURITE nail polish.

 

 

 





 

 

This is Rimmel London's Disco Ball!  I love this nail polish because it's so versatile. It's a multicoloured glitter nail polish that you can wear on it's own or as a topcoat on another nail polishes.  I recommend pairing this with a dark colour such as OPI's Linkin Park After Dark - it's beautiful.

 At £2.99 it's one of the best nail polishes I've bought.( I've nearly finished the bottle! )
