NOTD #5

So here is the nails i said would be up.

This is using my new Barry M Gelly polishes and damn do they shine like a mutha. 

The blue is called Blueberry and the green Greenberry. Getting a little unimaginative there Barry M. 

I also got new dotting tools from ebay (cost me a penny!!!!) so i was trying them out and got a little carried away. 

Beware of the flash of doom though. It completely strips the colour from it and makes it look like ghost nails. 

What are you all thinking about the Barry M Gelly Polishes?

Haul - I shop too much #1

Now obviously this isn't my first haul. Ive not lost my mind, but its my first this year. I would say i have done well if it was for any other reason than being too skint to buy stuff till now, and surprisingly, I'm skint again. This is a mix of Boots, Ebay, Fragrance Direct and Tkmaxx.

Dainty Doll - Various - RRP £13.50.

A selection of 5 daintydoll blushers which i got for £1.99 each. I wont say to much about these because they are coming up in a post soon, they are pretty awesome thought.

Barry M - Greenberry and Blueberry - £3.99

This is the Gelly polishes. I heard so many people raving about these and i didn't understand why. I have had one of the dark shades for a while but i never used it, it was gloppy, streaky and i did not see the shine. These shades looked so pretty though and were on sale 2 for £6 so i gave them a go. Glad i did as I'm in love. See these soon in a notd.

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil - £7.99

I haven't tried this yet but it smells lovely and i have high hopes after hearing Kate from Ghostparties talk about it.Found out after i bought this you can get it for £4.99 at ChemistDirect.

Revlon Nail Enamel - Demure - £4.99

Get this now for £0.99 at fragrance direct. I get most of my polishes from there. Glad this one did not smash before arrival. 

This Works Tires Eye Serum - £32

Got this in TKMaxx for £12. Needed a new one and have really wanting to try more this works products.  They also have a toner down to £7.

From what i can see i think this has been discontinued :( i cant find it to buy anywhere.

L'Oreal GlamShine Stain Splash - £7.99

Got this from boots, not sure about it yet. I'll keep you informed.

Korres Mint Tea Body Milk - £10

I love the mint tea shower gel so i jumper at this in TKMaxx for £4.50. It is £10 from Feel Unique.

Smells Amazing and Korres are a great eco/animal friendly company.

JK Jemma Kidd Mannequin Skin Complexion Enhancer - £14

Got this for £3.95 on ebay. Seens good and ive read great reviews. Ill let twitter know when i try it.

Leighton Denny Nail Laquer - Sex Kitten - £11

I got this for £2.20 on ebay. Cant wait to try it, as we all know Leighton Denny rules. 

Nail Polish Obsession - The Haul

Well it's that time of year again ladies and gents. When I go a little crazy, shopping till my purse combusts and grabbing whatever I can whenever I can.  

Not Christmas obviously!!! I'm talking about the end of my placement in the hospital!! And finally I can wear my tan and most importantly... Paint my nails again!!

Whenever I finish placement I tend to go a little crazy on the buying nail polishes front, it's like I'm finally getting my fix after a very long patch of sobriety. 

Of course this year is no different and here is my haul of the last week. I just can't help myself, I walk into a shop and turn into the wicked witch, fly my pretties fly into my shopping bag.

Here we have three Nails Inc polishes in L-R.

Hampstead Heath  -  GLASGOW  -  Burlington Arcade

Big shout for GLASGOW!!!!!

These are all by Revlon the middle 2 are the Top Speed type

But... It's just so beautifullll. I'll be doing a NOTD soon including it because it's so spectacular it deserves it's own post.

In this i used:

Essie - Fifth Avenue

Primark Nail Art Pen - White

NOTD #1

So this is my first every Nails of the day. I have only just got my French Acrylic that i got for showing my ring off off and decided to start trying out some of the pollished ive been buying and unable to use.

I decided to go for Essie Bahama Mama and Barry M Rose Quartz Glitter. 

   

These photoes are all a few days old but the polish is still not chipped at all. This is without a base of top coat (i was in a big rush).

 Because my camera is still not fixed i have had to use my phone and the photos are not the best quality but the colours are truely lovely.

Bahama Mama i think is actually i bit richer and purple than the photo, its one of my favourite polishes already. Some essie polishes (bikini so teeny anyone) get glupey and lumpy but this is not one of them, this glides on perfectly. 

Rose Quarts is not as thick as some glitter polishes but still gives great coverage (on mine it is only one coat of it) and its a nice mix of big and small glitter peices. Its a perfect glitter for bahamma mama.

 Anyone else loving these colours? What are your go to autum/winter colours?
