NAIL VARNISHES WHICH ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT

Monday, April 21, 2014 | Posted by Unknown

Hola dolls,

I Hope you all had a lovely Easter! I did and Today I got totally Eggspired (do you see what i did there) and so I thought I would show you all my beautiful selection of my new oh-so pretty summer nail varnishes. So yea I guess I have been going totally crazy lately on nail varnishes,sorry not sorry, its not my fault that the nail varnishes jump into my basket and demand me to buy them, is it? I'm a victim of a horrible crime,but hey my nails are not looking so bad.

Rimmel London "sweetie crush" collection

Oh my this collection is so pretty and when I saw them sitting on the shelf in boots I knew I must get them. I'm so glad I did. I love the Cute pastel shades and they are themed around retro sweets. Isn't the packaging so pretty ? the cute retro sweet-shop awning on the caps,so adorable.

I must say Rimmel London does texture nail varnishes really well. They do have a matte, sugary frosting finish and there a little sparkly too. The formula is quite thick, as most textures tend to be and there so easy to apply and a added bonus is that they dry ever so quick. At a reasonable price of just £3.99, how can you resist?

Candyfloss Cutie is a soft sparkly pink in a true to its name candyfloss pink. 2 coats.

Violet Swizzle is a pastel lilac. 2 coats.

Available at boots and superdrug etc etc.

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint

I have been wanting to try BarryM version of the gel finish nail paint for a while and so when I saw the shade "pomegranate" it was a certain yes. BarryM has said the nail varnish is a Hi shine gel effect nail paint what provides an extra glossy finish in just one coat and which i totally agree with.

What I love so much about them is that it gives me salon nails at a affordable price at just £3.99(wowie).

I personally did find that too much varnish goes on the brush and for me I found it was a little messy of a application but the varnish does dries very quickly and as the name suggests,to a very high gloss finish. So you can quickly transform your nails from drab to fab in just one coat.

Availibe at boots and superdrug.

Kelly Brook Nail Polish "Zingy Lemon"

I found myself looking at the Kelly brooks nail varnish collection and the cute oh-so adorable packaging grabbed me in. After a while of debating on which colour to go for I chose which I can only describe as a "zingy lemon". As a new found lover of things yellow i was super exited to try. At a reasonable price of just £2.99 also,it sealed the deal.

The polish is super easy to apply with the narrow dense brush but to my disappointment i found it to go on quite streaky and wasn't a good overall coverage. It did however dry very quick and the colour was beautiful. I did do 3 coats but simply to try and see if it would stop looking streaky but it actually just made it worse and made it look to thick.

Primark "Ps love" nail varnish range

I could of easily picked up each and every one of this collection but I looked for my mum for support and she got me through the verge of going crazy and them just being priced at just £1 , what do you expect?

So I went for this beautiful fresh neon turquoise which is sure to make a statement on your nails in the summer. The packaging is pretty simple and just lets the colour do all the talking but when the colour's are as eye grabbing as what they are, you don't need no fancy packaging.

I'm more then chuffed with the results, with just 1 one coat my nails was left looking fab. I wouldn't say its a glossy finish more of a matte finish with a slight shine. I love the large brush applicator as it makes it so easy to cover your nails.The nail varnish is streak free and dries rapidly.

I will be buying more.

What do you think to my latest nail varnish buys?

Who is super excited for summer?

What nail varnishes have you been buying?

Have you got any of these nail varnishes? How have you found them?

THE 3 WAY OUTFIT

Sunday, April 13, 2014 | Posted by Unknown

How to wear your favorite top and shorts , 3 different ways.

From hot summer days to night time glam and then get festival ready.

Hola Dolls,

So when my Miss guided , Boohoo and Accessorize parcels arrived I was so excited and I instantly fell in love with all my purchases, I love buying summer clothes they are oh-so pretty and It's come to that time when I have started buying for Trek America(eeek) only 156 days to go , I'm not counting , honestly. So all of the items I'm showing you are going to be a staple must for my trip.

It's such a casual outfit but then with just adding a necklace and some wedges I believe it' does take it from super causal to something you could wear on a night out.

Can you believe this is my first yellow item of clothing what I have ever bought? and god don't I regret the years of not wearing yellow. In my wardrobe it's like Cami tops take over the world because I literately have every colour going now,the reason being is just because there so versatile and easy to style with jeans , shorts or skirts.

The shorts are literately so comfy and I always tend to struggle when buying shorts because they always seem to be to tight or they show my bum cheeks (cheeky) but these are a perfect fit , they are not figure hugging but are still so flattering and they cover my bum (phew) , so they are the perfect shorts for me.

I wanted to show you by just adding a blouse or a jacket can change the feel of a outfit and how you can get the most out of your shorts and top.

So yea here it is my 3 way outfit , I hope you like :)

Hot Summer Day

Night Time Glam

Festival Ready

Outfit 1

BooHoo Yellow Woven Cami - Oh so Pretty , a must for your spring/summer wardrobe

BooHoo Boyfriend Denim Shorts - An extra comfortable fit and can be styled in many ways

Outfit 2

Miss Guided Cropped Palm tree blouse (Only bought this last week and is no longer available)

Outfit 3

BooHoo Festival Parka _ Great for those chilly summer evenings

Accessorize Woven Backpack-A Cute backpack which is perfect for your adventures

What do you think to these looks ?

Would love to know what you think :)

ALL THINGS PINK REVIEW

Saturday, April 05, 2014 | Posted by Unknown

As Pink is most defiantly my favorite color what better way to celebrate my love for all things pink then showing you what products I grab automatically.Say hello to my hot right now three pretty in pink favorite products.

Soap&Glory is not something you can just walk past in the aisle, it grabs your attention and sucks you right in and you stop and admire the beautiful packaging. That fabulous vintage vibe and that oh-so preety overall look.

"BUTTER YOURSELF™ is a ludicrously fruity blend of super smoothing SHEA BUTTER, ORANGE WATERJUICE™, FIG PULP EXTRACT and ALMOND, MANGO & MORINGA OILS. Specially formulated to soothe and soften even the driest skin; it works wonders on rough elbows, bumpy upper arms and flaky lower legs – boosting hydration and richly nourishing the skin with melt-while-you-massage COCOA & MORINGA BUTTERS."

As someone who always seems to be in a rush when getting ready this is the perfect product for me, i can still get dressed in a flash and still feel as indulgently spoiled as I do with The Righteous Butter. It absorbs so quickly into your skin which is a must for me, and leaves my skin feeling so smooth. Its a real treat!
It moisturizes my skin really well and there is no need to top it up till a entire 24 hours later and has become a part of my skincare routine. Yay!
The Scent is kept fresh, a soft fruity smell and a hint of a nutty kinda smell. I was though left disappointed on the fact that I couldn't smell any trace of the orange oil. I don't love the scent but i do like it.

Britney Spears Fantasy perfume will always be my favorite scent hands down! I have been buying this product since 2005 and yes i am truly in love with this divine and unique perfume.Britney spears has done exceptionally well when it comes to perfumes, they hasn't been one what i haven't loved.

"The story of Fantasy Britney Spears unfolds with lush red lychee, golden quince and exotic kiwi. It continues with the scents of cupcakes, sexy white chocolate orchid and jasmine petals and draws to a close with the scents of creamy musk, orris root and sensual woods."

I describe this as a love potion locked up in a beautiful captivating attractive bottle adorned with Swarovski crystals and It looks like it has come straight out of a fairy tale and looks beautiful on my dressing table. The scent is just heavenly, white chocolate and cupcakes, which with just one spritz leaves me smiling and i know i smell good,on me it lasts the entire day and sometimes more than that its truly out of this world how long it lasts.I have lost count on the amount of compliments I have received and people always can distinguish which fragrance it is because its truly unique. Its a everyday fragrance which does you proud all year round , a sensual romantic sweet scent.

Pros

Amazing and unique fragrance.
Inexpensive
Last all day long-impressive i must say.
Pretty and fun bottle.
Lovely milk and white chocolate notes, oh-so dreamy!
Food and bakery lovers this one is for you, its so so so yummy!

Cons

I don't have any cons for this product its a must try for every girl or woman

A burst of freshness which leaves your hair looking and feeling like it has just been washed and that's why i grab it each time my hair needs a little TLC between washes.

"Batiste Dry Shampoo banishes oily roots, giving dull, lifeless hair the makeover it needs without any water. A quick burst revitalises hair, adds body and texture and leaves it feeling clean and fresh too. No need to worry about skipping a shampoo."

Directions

Shake vigorously before use.

Spray into your roots keeping a 30cm distance from your hair.

Massage through with fingertips.

Brush it through your hair.

I am a very big fan of dry shampoo and yes (hands over mouth) i only wash my hair twice a week. The reason is i don't need to wash it more then this and i hate all the effort of washing your hair ,I know how lazy , but when this is easy to buy and so easy to use and leaves my hair looking like its just been washed every time, why should I do anything different?
There is so many to choose from but i choose this one simply because of the pink packaging. The scent is fresh and reminds me of summer, it is yes floral and flirty. Its gives my hair body,volume and texture, it works wonders for my hair. I can not wait to try some of the other scents.
