NOTD - Warm and Fozzie

Hi everyone,

I have a NOTD for you today featuring a polish that I think is perfect for this time of year.

This is OPI's Warm and Fozzie, I think the colours within this polish are perfect for autumn. The colours remind me of the leaves as they change colour at this time of year.

Thanks for reading,

Collective Nail Polish Haul

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd share with you some of the nail polishes I've bought in the last couple of months.

I picked up these three Models Own polishes from TK Maxx for only £9.99, a pretty good bargain. :)

Model's Own Peacock

This is a rich emerald green colour, it's also slightly teal and has a pearly sheen. It's featured in this NOTD.

Model's Own Champagne

This is such a beautiful shimmery champagne colour, it looks so pretty with a glitter topcoat over it.

Model's Own Pink Lady

This is an amazing hot pink which has a kind of blue shimmery colour running through it.

Essie Your Hut Or Mine

I'm in love with this polish, it's bright yet sophisticated and has a subtle gold shimmer running through it.

The next three polishes I bought from TK Maxx for £7, for all three!

Essie Island Hopping

This is a rich plum mauve polish, it's a really unusual colour that I have nothing like in my collection.

Essie Oui Madame

This is a white pearl polish, it's quite sheer and needs a lot of coats to get an opaque finish!

Essie Aperitif 

This is a lovely rich red, it needs a couple of coats for full coverage.

I got these two L'oreal polishes as a free gift when purchasing some other L'oreal products!

L'oreal You're Worth It

This is a pale blue grey polish, it's pretty opaque and very shiny!

L'oreal Opulent Pink

This is a stunning hot pink, it's a rich, bright pink which is perfect for wearing toenails.

A England Lady Of The Lake

My sister in law bought me this gorgeous polish as a belated birthday gift. It's a lovely purple with holographic shimmer. 

YSL Purple Black

I think this is such an unusual colour, it's black with a kind of purple undertone. 

I bought these OPI polishes in a set for only £9.99 :D

OPI Plum And Get It

This is a nice royal purple, it's a bit sheer though and needs a few coats for an opaque finish.

OPI Born Red-y

This is a great classic red which is fairly opaque and has a nice shine.

OPI Navy Shatter

I've not actually tried this out yet, I'm not that into shatter polishes but this is a really nice colour.

Thanks for reading,

My Top 5...Glitter Topcoats

Hi everyone,

I'm going to hopefully be starting a little series on this blog called 'My Top 5...', this is pretty selfexplanitory, I'm just going to do little posts about my top 5 products all from one brand, or of the same type of product e.g. top 5 eyeliners.

So here we go, I looove glittery nail varnish, especially glittery topcoats. I love anything that sparkles and I love the way a glittery top coat can completely transform a regular nail varnish into something extra special.

Oooh prettty :D

Here they are on my nails...

I know the pictures arn't that great so I've done some swatches on some good old paper :)

(From L-R, Claire's Accesories Slice of Shine, BarryM's Pink Iridescent, BarryM's Silver Glitter, Rimmel's Disco Ball, Opi's I Lily Love You)

Claire's Accesories Slice of Shine

This is a gorgeous chunky glitter topcoat it has hexoganol mint green and baby pink glitter and also some fine silver glitter. I think it's great that it has some fine glitter in too, it helps with getting better coverage.

BarryM's Pink Iridescent

This is so girly and beautiful! There is a hint of very pale pink in the actual nail varnish and then the glitter that's suspended in it shines all sorts of lovely colours. This polish provides pretty good coverage in a couple of coats and really looks amazing over so many everyday polishes.

BarryM's Silver Glitter

This polish is packed with glitter! It looks stunning on its own in just a couple of coats. The glitter in this is pretty fine and looks really cool over Collection 2000's 'Shimmy Shake' nail varnish.

Rimmel's Disco Ball

The silver and blue glitters in this polish are really pretty and the blue glitter really stands out. I love layering this over creamy dark purple polishes.

OPI's I Lily Love You

This is a mini, from the 'Nice Stems' collection, its a see-through hot pink base with irregular shaped holographic glitter. It's so pretty and is particularly pretty over OPI's Be A Dahlia Won't You.

Anyways,

Please let me know if you like ths type of post or if I should scrap the idea. :)

Thanks for reading,

Amazon Haul!

Hi Everyone :)

I've got a little haul post for you all today! I got a bit excited on Amazon this week and ordered a few goodies. My camera is being a little silly today so please excuse the pictures courtesy of Amazon.

I bought some OPI minis! I bought the Muppets collection which is so pretty and glittery, I love all the colours and can't wait to wear them all. :D

I also bought the Nice Stems collection for under a tenner! Yay :) There's a nice selection of pinks including a really cool glittery topcoat called 'I Lily Love You'.

I'll be featuring these OPI minis in a NOTD soon.

I also bought two cookbooks, which I know may not interest everyone but I'll show you them anyway :)

This book is amazing, it's got so many interesting and unique recipes, such as peanut butter and bacon cookies! It's written by a woman called Joy, she has a great blog (http://joythebaker.com/) and makes so many yummy things.

This is the second book I bought, I love the introductions to each chapter, they're very entertaining and I can relate to Sophie's feelings when she was growing up. The recipes look very comforting and delicious! Can't wait to try some out. :)

Thanks for reading

Jess
