I love the postman!



Look what he brought me!!

Been waiting for these bad boys to come. Models Own did a great job of shipping quickly considering the amount of orders they had.

L-R Buff Pink, Pink Punch, Lemon Meringue, Top Turquoise

I have never owned any of these polishes before and have heard such good reviews on them that I thought why not purchase £20 worth of products for a tenner in the sale??
It'd be rude not to really...

Anyway I am really pleased I did. These polishes are like a dream, sorry Mr M (Barry) I think you may have been replaced. 
These polishes glide on so smoothly, none of the gloopyness of Barry M products. To me Barry M seems rather a thick polish now I have been converted.
I used two coats on each and acheived these results.

Pink Punch
Buff Pink
Lemon Meringue
Top Turquoise

Pink Punch is a bright neon colour, which I am going to use to brighten up my autumn wardrobe. I know its not an autumn colour but who cares?? 
Buff pink is a gorgeous light pink colour that I think I will get away with wearing for work. 
Lemon Meringue - well i just love this!
and Top turquoise, not what i'd usually go for but again such good quality i love it...

and if thats not exciting enough for you check these out too!

Oh yes, i got some violent lips! 
These were a very late birthday pressie from my friend but its so worth the wait. I can't show you them on because you only get 3 applications for £10.50 and it would be a waste just to put them on to so my dissertation in. The main reason for purchase was to wear when i go see Ms Katy Perry in October, but if I wear them before then i'll be sure to review and show you guys.. I can't wait now..

This is what you get in the pack. There is a simple how to video on the website about how to fix your lips to make them look perfect and I can't wait to try them.

My pink & gold Nails



I saw a style like this in one of my fashion mags, and thought i'd try it out for myself.
In the mag they used a gold nail art pen, which I dont own, so before hopping to the shop to buy one, thought I would see if I liked the effect by using my gold nail polish which I have had for so long that I have no idea where it came from or what make as it has all worn off the bottle!!

Anyway I am pleased with the results, the left hand is better than the right (i will master the left handed nail painting technique!)
I think a finer brush or a nail art pen would look fabulous and glam, but I love this rough look too!

I can tell you I used Barry M in "Pale Pink" as the base colour, however for the gold... no idea!! sorry!

Forever 21

Loving cheap and cheerful clothes this spring!
Forever 21 such a good online store, think there's a few stores around the country, but its apparently relatively new over in the UK.
It's a bit like America's version of Primark.

Loving the floral prints too this Spring, teamed with pastel nails!
