My Top 5 Spring Nail Polishes...


Hello lovelies.

Yesterday was officially the first day of spring, not that you'd know it with the poopy weather! As it's not warm enough to bust out the spring wardrobe just yet one way of brightening up any outfit is to wear a colourful nail polish. Here's my top 5 spring nail polish picks...


Barry M Peach Melba - I got through 3 bottles of this polish in 2012 which is completely unheard of for me, I never use one bottle before it dries out normally! I've been wearing this polish again recently and I just think it's a great wearable shade that goes with every outfit. 

Natural Collection Hibiscus - I saw this polish featured on Makeupsavvy last year & i couldn't resist picking it up. It's the perfect hot pink shade that screams Spring to me. It also costs under £2 which is pretty amazing for such a pretty polish.

Essie Fiji - This was a blogger favourite last year & I of course had to jump on the bandwagon. This has to be one of my favourite polishes in my whole collection! It looks great with a tan & I can't wait to tan myself up so I can crack this open again.

Barry M Gelly Pomegranate - This is the first of two Barry M Gelly polishes I'm featuring as I just couldn't decide between the two. Pomegranate is the perfect bright pink with red undertones & it's super shiny. What's not to love?!

Barry M Gelly Greenberry - This polish has been raved about by just about every blogger & it's easy to see why. I adore mint green and this is the perfect mint green with blue a blue tone running through it. Like Pomegranate it's super shiny and i can't wait to get my mitts on more shades from this range. 

I'm always on the lookout for pretty nail polish & need to update my collection so if you have any recommendations please leave a comment!

These Are A few Of My Favourite Things | July Favourites 2012

Hello my lovelies.

I know I say this every week but I can't believe it's time for my July favourites already, where is this year going?! 

Here's what I've been loving this month...
1 YSL Touche Eclat Foundation | 2 Garnier Summer Body Moisturiser | 3 Lush Rub Rub Rub Scrub | 4 Origins Super Spot Remover | 5 Essie Fiji | 6 Nars Angelika | 7 Seche Vite

YSL Touche Eclat Foundation | I bought this on the day it was released & I've used it every day since. It provides a lovely natural coverage whilst adding a lovely glow, I'll be posting a full review very soon!

Garnier Summer Body Moisturiser | It's been a month since my holiday & I've started to lose my natural tan so I've been using this every day to top it up. I love how this feels on the skin & I love the colour it provides, I know i'll be using this all summer.

Lush Rub Rub Rub Scrub | I bought this after Gracie recommended it & I'm so glad I did! It's the best shower scrub I've ever used, I feel like it really works & my skin feels lovely after using it.

Origins Super Spot Remover | My month has been an utter bitch this month due to stress and I've broken out alot more than usual so this product has been a godsend! It's by no means a miracle product but it helps to reduce spots & I've found it also stops the breakout scarring, full review to come soon!

Essie Fiji | I think I've worn this nail polish for about 3 weeks this month, every time I took it off I was reapplying it! It looks lovely with a tan & I need to buy another bottle ASAP, you can see a NOTD with Essie Fiji here.

Nars Angelika | I bought this blush a couple of weeks ago on Buyapowa & I absolutely love it. I know it looks like a glitter ball in the pan but this really doesn't transfer to the face & I love the colour. I have a little Nars blush collection going which is awful for my bank balance!

Seche Vite Top Coat | This is somewhat of a cult product in the beauty world & it's easy to see why. I love how shiny my nails looks after applying it & my nail polish lasts so much longer after using it. I'll be posting a full review of this next week along with a link to where you can buy it for £6 so keep your eyes peeled for that!

I'd love to know what your favourite products ware this month.

NOTD | Essie - Fiji

Good evening my lovelies,

I can only apologise for my absence, I've had some personal issues to deal with but I'm back on full form now! You might also notice I've had a little rejig on the blog, I hope you like the changes!

Anyway, onto the point of this post! I've been obsessed with this nail polish for the past couple of days  & keep reapplying it the minute I remove it.
Essie - Fiji

I can only apologise for the state of my nails, I need a manicure ASAP!

As you can see it's the perfect milky pink. It looks lovely with a tan & now the sun has come out I can see myself buying another bottle. 

I'm so happy that Essie is finally readily available in the UK & can see myself building up quite a collection!

What are your favourite Essie polishes?

Mini Nail Polish Haul

Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a fabulous week!

I ordered these nail polishes last week & they arrived today, my Mum rang me at lunch to tell me I had a package at home & I couldn't wait to see them!

Queue a mini nail polish haul...


Essie - Angora Cardie, China Glaze - Recycle, China Glaze - Seduce Me, Seche Vite - Top Coat


Essie - Angora Cardie

Anyone that has been reading my blog for a while will know I have owned this nail polish before, I LOVE it!!! It's the perfect dusky maroon shade. Click here for a NOTD I did on this polish previously.


China Glaze - Recycle

My name is Sarah & I am a grey nail polish addict. I have about 5 grey nail polishes, what is wrong with me?! What's one more between friends...


China Glaze - Seduce Me

This polish is alot redder in person, I would describe it as a raspberry shade. I can't wait to try it out!

Seche Vite - Top Coat

Last but by no means least I HAD to get another bottle of Seche Vite, It's simply the best top coat I have ever tried. It makes my polish last for days without chipping & makes them SUPER shiny. I recommend it 64836493393%

I hope you enjoyed this mini nail polish haul & on that note... I'm off to do my nails!

NOTD: Essie - Angora Cardie

It's official, I LOVE winter nails! This year I'm really loving dark purple shades so I was delighted when I found this gorgeous Essie polish!

It is a lovely dirty maroon shade & I can't imagine this looking bad on anybody. It is opaque in 2 coats and remained chip free for 4 days. Perfect!

What nail shades are you wearing this winter?
