Nails Of The Day

Going home only means one thing (well actually many)...Shellacs!!

Little did I realize that my mum had increased the collection even more and bought a gorgeous blue vanish named Azure Wish from last years Spring CND Collection. I have never been a fan of blue nails, but this shade is perfect. As with any shellac, the finish is to die for and brightens these depressing rainy days. 

I never seem to go for a plain nail so on the 'ring fingers' I applied GOSH silver nail glitter for extra sparkle :)

Topshop Nail Vanish

I've never actually considered buying makeup from Topshop yet I still struggle to resist spending, what probably feels like ages for my friends, looking at the makeup and nail collection. I decided to use a giftcard given at Christmas to purchase some nail vanishes in the collection. The first named Tidal and the second Epiphany.

The latter was in sale for £3 and it was exactly what I had been looking for. I adore my L'oreal Paris Sequin Explosion vanish but needed a sparkling coat that was primarily silver that suitable over any nail colour.

Topshop nails promises perfect coverage with long lasting and fast drying colour. This beautiful vanish consists of thin holographic strips which can be built up to achieve either a subtle coverage or a thick sparkling nails with extremely quick drying time! It is easy to achieve a built up nail by either pressing down on where you want the sparkles or simply applying many layers. Both approaches work well in my opinion! 

Tidal is a beautiful soft grey/blue shade, which some reviews say looks like BluTack but I disagree. It is classy colour and a very 'in' shade at the moment following the pastel trend! I have had many compliments on this vanish and it only needs 2 coats to give a thick finish. 

I can certainly see myself extending my new Topshop nail vanish range as I am highly impressed! :) 

Also how cute are midi rings! I finally bought one and I looveee it :) they are so pretty but I can't even explain why ha! 

Week # unkown

I don't even know what's happening to my blog at the moment. I have noticed how it is all over the place BUT I have come to the conclusion that 1- I can't really spend time making cupcakes at the moment :( and 2 - I don't own my own camera to take the photos of what I want :( 

With this in mind, I have just wrote little updates of my life. Mainly so I don't forget the random little things I have been up to in the weeks, and to be honest I don't mind who reads my blog whether its many people or little. I love reading other people's on beauty goodies for example and just keep my little blog to myself, obviously I love everyone's comments and people who take the time to read my posts but I have noticed how random and messed up it is at the moment so sorry for that!

I have had another busy week! 

Highlights have been filming a video for a Livewire Radio Christmas single which I will probably post on here tomorrow for the laughs ha! 

I also arranged with the Environmental Science committee, a Christmas ball. Being the Ted Baker love that I am, I wore my Ted Baker Dress, Ted Baker heels and a Ted Baker clutch bag!

Seals! Me and my friend took a trip to Horsey beach to see the birthing or grey seals. However due to the tidal storm surge... apparently a majority of these have been abandoned or died :( There was over 300 pups on the beach on Thursday!

Radio! I am going to miss this soo much but next year I will have to start focusing on my degree a little more and with my bar job I am not going to have any room for this :(

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend <3 

Sequin Explosion L'Oreal

Just a quick post to share my favourite new nail polish I stumbled across in Boots! 

L'oreal Color Riche Sequin Explosion #842

Sequin Explosion is a glitter topcoat, so a clear colour with lots of glitter used to go over any colour.

Why do I love it? Because it has so many lovely colours in, pinks, greens, silver but doesn't look tacky like some glitter nail polishes I have come across in my time. It contains both glitter particles and large hexagonal pieces. 

Unfortunately I don't have a camera on me so will have to use my instagram photos to show you how I have used this nail polish. It goes on like a dream and is so easy to layer up if need be!

Perfect for Christmas time!!  

L'oreal Paris Haul

I have decided how much I hate going into Boots, well I say hate.. its more a love hate relationship. I somehow seem to spend a bomb in there on cosmetics I really don't need! Yesterday was one of those days..

1/ First off I purchased some liquid eyeliner.. nothing exciting but the brush is pretty nice and much better than my last one. 

2/ Lipstick! Another colour added to the collection. I don't think L'oreal has enough credit for their lipsticks. They smell so lovely and their colours are so pigmented. I bought the shade 376 which is an autumnal colour, in between red and plum!

3/ Nail vanish! Christmas nails are a must. I can not wait to get home and use my Shellacs, but in the mean time I bought a glitter nail vanish. This is mainly because I have a Christmas ball to attend on Monday and my dress isn't exactly very christmassy!

As you may know Boots are famous for all their little treats.. After spending over £15 on them I received 3 free products. These were a Red Lipstick, shade 461. I am not a red lipstick fan and haven't ever actually owned one so will be nice to give this a go. In addition, there was a red nail vanish and a glitter mascara top coat... God knows how that will go down but I shall give it a go. 

Hope you like the products :)
