Hay lovely's

So I am doing my nails for the Edinbrugh festival tomorrow and thought I should post about a nail trend I love, coloured French Manicure and this quirky new twist for fall. I got my inspiration from AprilAthena on youtube check out here channel shes awesome! http://www.youtube.com/user/AprilAthena7?feature=watch 

This was my attempted to go with the dress am wearing tomorrow. (Ps yea that's pen on my hand! I have just finished work n cant get the pen off!)

 The products I used wear:

1. Essie Grow Stronger base coat (around £9).
2. Ciate My Fair Lady (which I got from Marie Claire magazine but I think it cost around £12!)
3. Gosh 540 Ocean (£5)

I think I will be doing this with all colour this Fall, am looking forward to trying it with a gold tip and maybe even trying a royal blue! What you guys think? Beauty Fail or keep for this fall??

Hope you enjoyed reading everyone.

Lust list...from Topshop

Hay lovely's

I had some free time before an meeting today and had a wee pop into Topshop. I originally went in to keep out the cold but found myself lusting over many of their products! I am not normally a Topshop fan, but have a wee look at these and let me know what you think?

I know Topshop has their own make up brand but I was never really that interested in it...until I saw it! The packaging is so cute and from what I played around in the shop: It looks good! I mean I can do a review because I haven't bought it and used it properly but I will be buying some! If anyone could recommend products I should invest in please leave a comment below.

 Lipstick in innocent

Lipstick in Nevada

I really liked the look of these 2 lipsticks and at £8 each...that wont break the bank much ;P  I also liked the look of this their blush Neon Rose. Its bright but I think with a nice tan and some blending it could look really sweet!

Neon Rose blush @ £6

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taking it away from the make up seen: this is what I am really lusting over. This  WHITE BIKER jacket. I have a black pleather jacket at the moment which I got out of Bank an number of years ago but this white one is amazing!

It feels so nice and looks amazing on...its just a shame I cant afford the £55 that it cost at the moment :(

 But as soon as I can find some free cash I will be heading back! 

Take care everyone xx

Mints and Peaches for spring!

Following on from my recent post about Barry M nail polished I picked up two new colours to (addicted yes...I believe I am!) I have had loads of people talk about their amazing pastel rang but never ventured there encase they were to sheer...as am not one for hanging around, applying coat after coat to get the out of the bottle look. But these surprised me..in a good way!

The first one is mint green (no.304) which is in the container is this lovely mellow green colour, It is ideal for any spring look; where you just want to forget about the winter bores and look forward to summer.

The second one, Peach Malba (no.318) not my normal cup of tea, but when I was in Superdrugs looking around at all these dull winter faces, I found myself drawn to the colour and am shockingly pleased with my purchase. It does take a few covers to get my desired look but somethings are worth the effort.

Take care everyone xx

roses are red and so are those nails!!

Valentines day is upon us and wither your loved up lass or a sassy single; it is differently one of those days where a girl has to feel special. My favourite way to make me feel good, without braking the bank is doing my nails! At the moment my favourite cost effective products are Barry M nail polishes.

Barry M nail polishes are spectacular productions for all us girls who don't have massive amounts of money to spend getting our nails done at the nail bar. Often pricing between £2.99-£4 in the UK, and most importantly they are very easy to use. My collection vary from their fabulous effects rang to their simple red nail polish...which is what we're going to be taking about today!

The raspberry nail polish is a lovely rustic looking red colour, ideal for most skin colour's and goes perfect for that romantic night with your partner or as a sassy accessory for the girl whose out with her girls. The nail polish only takes 2 coats to get a perfect colour but if your a perfectionist like me then I would also recommend using some form of top coat (my favourite is the Sally Hansion's instant dry around £5-6 in the UK).  However, my ultimate why to wear read nails is with a glittery nail polish on top, any glittery nail polish will do, making the nails look super girly!

I will add some pictures when i get my camera working again but until then I hope this was helpful.

Take care everyone xx
