This week I opted for Beanie & Pink Grapefruit that are both from the No7 Stay Perfect range. Beanie is a brown-purple kinda colour and Pink Grapefruit is a hot pink. I wore Beanie on all my nails except my ring finger, where I wore Pink Grapefruit to add a splash of colour to my nails

This week I decided to go back to an old obsession of mine - white nails. Now, I remember that I was in like year 8 when I started wearing white nail polish because Miley Stewart (alter-ego of Hannah Montana fyi) wore it and it looked fabulous on her. I always laugh when I reminisce about those days because there were these girls in my class that weren't nice at all, and they laughed when I first wore it. Yet, a few weeks later they were all rocking white nail polish. It wasn't funny when they wore it. Anyways, despite the nasty girls in my set, I continued to wear it but haven't worn it in yeeears. So, the other day when I was looking at my nail polish rack and spotted No7's Snowflake I thought I would go white and classic once again. And boy, do I love it!

I've spent the last fortnight basking in a sun-filled paradise that is the beautiful island of Lanzarote (that's why there's been a lack of posts, I didn't die or anything like some of you thought. So over dramatic. *rolls eyes and clicks fingers in a z formation*). We stayed in the most stunning private villa - complete with our own pool and hot tub! Despite having a luxurious villa, we got stuck with the most unhygienic of cars. I'm 99% sure that the stain I was forced to sit on on the way to our villa was in fact where someone had wet themselves. I later went on to put my hand on the door handle to find chewed-up chewing gum behind it. Not only that but there was mysterious white crusty stains EVERYWHERE. I really don't wanna guess what it was, but I just had to grin (grimace) and bear it - germs and all.



On the plane to Arrecife from Leeds Bradford, I decided to take advantage of Jet2's forever fabulous range of goodies on offer (that included a 20% discount might I add!!) and managed to bag a bareMinerals Starter Kit (£31.60 - without discount £39.50 - it's £49 RRP) and a Models Own set (£16 - without discount £20 - unavailable on the high street). I was so excited to try bareMinerals as I actually don't have any of their products, I know so many people have raved about their powders but I was unsure. As a sufferer of terrible skin, I didn't believe that just a powder could cover my acne scarring. Because of the amazing price, I decided to give it a try! As for the Models Own set, I bought a similar one on a Jet2 flight a couple years back and adored the polishes, especially the glitter ones. I know many of you will be sighing at me, because if you're a regular reader you'll know that I have well over 100 polishes...Oopsies?! Oh well, I've been wanting one of their Beetlejuice polishes for aaaages as (now this may come as a shock) I don't own any. The set also includes two scented polishes (new to my collection too) and two firework polishes. I'm chuffed I had the chance to expand my Models Own collection 'cause I've always been put off the regular price. I mean, it's not overly expensive (£5), but when I compare it to the fact that I could either buy one Models Own polish or (almost) two Barry M paints, I'm gonna go for the paints, yano?






How cute is the packaging?!


I'm super-excited to try my new purchases, although I am a little apprehensive about the bareMinerals powders, as they claim to do a lot. I may even do a review on them sometime in the near future...

Because of the upcoming New Year I thought that me (and my nails) should go in with a bang. That's why I chose Models Own's Disco Mix. It's enriched with two shades of glitter - one a royal blue and the other a rich purple. Colour-wise this has to be one of my favourite polishes all time, mainly 'cause i'm a total sucker for glitter if you didn't know already. The only downside is that it's gonna take me that extra few minutes to take it off, but it's definitely worth it hehe.



I hope you all have a fabulous New Years and I'm sorry for no post last friday - I've been super busy with a new project i'm very excited to tell you all about soon.

Yes I know it's Tuesday not Monday but I'm having a pampering day today because it's CHRISTMAS EEEEEVVVVVEEEEE! Despite how excited I sounded then I'm actually not excited at all. I'm a firm believer that without snow, you just can't feel Christmassy. It was the same as last year, we didn't get snow in Leeds until January and it was heeeeavy! So last year I wasn't in the Christmas spirit either, and that makes me sad because I love Christmas so much.

Although I'm not feeling Christmassy, Christmas is around the corner (one more sleep!!) and I thought I'd go all festive and opt for a cherry red polish in the form of No7s Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Devils Delight and then Barry M's Limited Edition Christmas Gold Nail Paint on my ring finger to add a touch of sparkle.





Oh, and I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas!

This week I've gone for Ted Baker's TB Nail Polish although it doesn't have a shade as it came in a set and is unavailable individually. It's a beautiful pale pink shade, the kind of colour you'd use as a base for a French manicure. I adore the colour of this polish, I must have 20 polishes in this shade or similar! Sadly, this polish isn't very thick so I ended up having to apply about 6 coats, and inevitably smudged them :(

This week I've opted for this dark purpley-grey shade (funnily enough called Purple Grey) by Models Own as after I had Illamasqua's Collide on last time I thought it would be nice to mix it up and go for a contrasting colour.

I have a pretty vast collection of nail polishes that embarrassingly is three-figures, and yet I don't often paint my nails. Because of this, I decided to promise myself that every Monday I would get out my little pink and purple glittery toolbox, grab a shade that tickles my fancy and get painting!

This week, I thought I'd get away from the classic Autumnal colours and be a bit daring by sporting neon pink, yes, neon pink nails. I have two bottles of Collide because I got them in the Alter-Ego sets that Illamasqua kindly created for those with a weaker purse.

p.s. I would've shown you a picture of my nails but I've literally just smudged them, I'm not best pleased :(
