China Glaze Ruby Pumps
Wednesday, 7 November 2012
I bought this after getting a recommendation on twitter of what nail varnishes I should have in my life, and when I looked this one up I knew I had to have it. I've had it for a while, but it just never felt like the right time to wear it. I don't know about you but red glitter screams "CHRISTMAS" to me. I tried to wait a little longer honest, but I'm already desperate to put up my pink Christmas tree and it's the beginning of November. And two posts ago I was rocking a decidedly Christmassy jumper even though I'm telling myself it's suitable for all winter months! It seems this year I have reverted to being a big kid about Christmas, even though for the last few years I haven't really been excited at all. Don't really know what's going on but, meh I'll just go with it!
Deborah Lippmann - Waking Up In Vegas
Thursday, 25 October 2012
I've had this nail varnish for about a year. It just got put away in my nail varnish box and forgotten about, but it's not really a summery colour anyway! So the first positive thing I can probably say about it is that it stays in good condition for a really long time. Most nail varnishes dry out pretty quickly after they have already been used - but this hasn't!
It's a lovely understated putty grey colour, which is a perfect choice if you're struggling to decide what colour you should paint your nails (this happens to me a lot!). It basically goes with everything so it's always good to have colours like that in your nail varnish collection. It's handy if you have a lot of things on close together and you don't have time to constantly change your nail colour, but this one would definitely need touch ups!
OPI Diva Of Geneva
Wednesday, 10 October 2012
I bought this shade in duty free on the way to Spain (check out my last post on all my duty free goodies!). I have been drawn to berry shades recently. They are so in this season, and I've been loving them for lip colours, clothes and nails! OPI has so many gorgeous shades in that category (they have millions in every category!) but I was drawn to Diva Of Geneva because it's more of a purplish berry tone, rather than burgundy or red - so I thought it was a bit different.
OPI Germany Collection - Schnapps Out of It!
Wednesday, 12 September 2012
Hello Lovelies!
This is my first ever OPI nail varnish and I have to say that I'm so impressed with it! I ordered it along with one other OPI and a China Glaze nail varnish which were recommended to me on twitter, but I'll do a post on them once I've had a chance to use them.
I liked a lot of the colours in the Germany Collection but I decided on Schnapps Out of It! because the warm burnt orange colour just screamed Autumn to me, which I'm so excited about because, I prefer Autumn and Winter to Spring and Summer!

Essie - Not Just A Pretty Face
Monday, 13 August 2012
Hello Lovelies!
Another Essie nail varnish for you guys! Been really loving Essie since it became available in Boots in the UK and this is my 4th colour! I had intended to buy a full on pink or red from Essie, but when I got there I was holding Fifth Avenue in one hand (which is a beautiful red colour) and Watermelon in the other (a gorgeous purple toned deep pink) and I couldn't decide between them. But then I didn't have to! I seen this one out of the corner of my eye and was immediately drawn to it. While I do love bright nail varnish, I have been more attracted to neutrals lately. I already own a beige toned nude, but I loved this because it's a pink toned nude. It just really polishes up your nails and makes them look neat and clean which I love! I would say however that it is slightly more pink than what the camera has picked up, but I did try several photos in different lighting and this was as close as I could possibly get it. Absolutely love it!!
Available from Boots for £7.99

Essie Peach Daiquiri
Thursday, 26 July 2012
Hello Lovelies!
Quite a few posts ago now, I talked about Essie Buy Me A Cameo which you can see here. And in this post I mentioned getting two nail varnishes! Peach Daiquiri was the other one I got.
It's a gorgeous bright coral-red colour - which I found a little bit confusing, because peaches are...peach. So me being me I googled Peach Daiquiri's wondering if that's the colour the cocktail is but nope! They're still a peach colour! Anyway, regardless of me thinking it's weirdly named, I love the colour! It's definitely a summer nail colour!

I used two coats to get a completely opaque colour - but you could definitely get away with one coat of this. It's just a habit for me to do two coats! Also if you're looking for the perfect nail and lip combo, this is exactly the same shade as the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in Rose Culte. And it's also exactly the same as one of the sleek lipsticks, but I don't know what that one is called!
Here's a Strawberry & Peach Daiquiri on me! (this colour is more like it!)

Essie Buy Me A Cameo
Sunday, 1 July 2012
Hey Lovelies!
This is my second Essie nail polish, which I bought because I loved my first one so much! And I got Boots vouchers that we're two Essie nail polishes for £12.00, so I couldn't not buy more! (the other colour I bought along with this will be in another post soon!).
Buy Me A Cameo is a gorgeous pearlescent neutral colour - which I LOVE! In the little pot it almost looks bronze, but when worn it is definitely more of a rose gold (which made me about 10 times more excited about it!). I haven't been disappointed with my first two Essie nail polishes, they just have such a beautiful finish!

My Rose Gold Mae Movement bracelets match it perfectly, so that's what made me decide it's rose gold! I love this colour, I think it's my new favourite! :)

Essie Fiji
Saturday, 23 June 2012
Hey Lovelies!
Just a quick post on my newest nail polish purchase. I have been crazy busy on nightshifts and my body clock is all over the place so I've not been updating my blog as much as I'd like so sorry for that guys!
Anyway, this is my first ever Essie nail polish because it's just came out in boots. I think before you had to order it online. I've been loving light, neutral and classic nail colours recently and this one just captured my attention right away. It's the most gorgeous pale pink and with two coats it's completely opaque. Most brands 'pale' pinks are usually still quite bright or candy coloured, or they're see-through to be used as a French manicure base. So I love this colours individuality in that sense.
