Forever

After all the bright colours I've had on my nails recently I really needed something muted and not so in your face, so I went with 17 Forever. After a day I got a little bored so I thought I'd try out my new dotted tools and did some dots with Rimmel Aqua Cool.

After 3 days of this mani I need some colour back on my nails though!  

Stripy Pink Wednesday

Happy Pink Wednesday and Happy Birthday to my little sister!

My mum's boss made my sister 16 cupcakes for her 16th birthday, YUM!

Back to nails, for this pink Wednesday I decided to go for stripes. The base colour is a light pink franken, then 17 Pink Grapefruit for the stripes. The lines aren't that crisp, but you can't really see that in real life, I hate how the camera magnifies every imperfection.

Just a short post for today, I have such a bad migraine. :( 

17 Goodie Bag!

I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone here when I say free stuff is the BEST THING EVER! I was browsing the Boots website the other day and I saw they had a 17 offer going on, if you brought any 2 17 products you'd get this nail goodie bag for FREE! So as soon as I could, I went down to Boots and brought some a nail polish, 17 Forever and 17 Carbon Back/Copper eye pencil.

Here's the goodie bag and what was in it:

Isn't the bag so cute?!

 The view inside... so mysterious!

What I got inside the bag.

 Pink Grapefruit and Knockout Red

I love these stickers!! Can't wait to try them out!

 A nail file.

How amazing is the stuff in the bag?! All completely FREE! Love it! I'm tempted to buy some more 17 stuff just to get more of those nail stickers! 

Make Up Haul

So I think I might have brought a little to much this week, I'm blaming exam stress though and the fact maths is REALLY depressing. So here's what I brought:

I ran out of my matte top coat, so I brought another one. I've wanted a yellow since my last one dried all up and went horrible and I've finally got around to buying a new one, it's called Sunshine, how cute! My friends ALWAYS moan that I don't have any green nail polish as I hate green (I swear they're only friends with me so I'll paint their nails) so I finally caved and brought this cheapo one with a great name... it's called NINJA. Best. Name. Ever. I've also wanted a coral for a while so got the 2true shade 3 (creative name, I know) although I've never tried any 2true polishes before, so don't know how well it applies and I find the bottle weird looking.

Next I brought some new blushes, I'm kind of obsessed with blush atm, and a brush (just a superdrug home brand one) as the brush I was using had seen better days. The Natural Collection is called Pink Cloud, Collection 2000 is called Breathless (cheesy name or what!) and the NYC is Pink Cheek Glow. I've been after some more day time blushes, as the ones I have now are more night out and these are perfect for the day.

Now on to lips. The lip gloss is Natural Collection Cherry Drop, you can't see in the picture but it's glittery. The lipstick in the blue is 17 Belle and it's just a standard day lipstick, nothing really that special about it. Now the lipstick in the purple, I am in LOVE! It's Rimmel Lily Extase (what the hell does extase mean?!) and it looks amazing!! It's replaced my Rimmel Red Fever as my new fav lipstick.

  It even matches my nails!

I told you I brought a lot, haha! Next up is Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Bronze Haze. So I never normally wear eyeshadow as without my glasses on I'm pretty much blind, it's a struggle just to put on mascara! Without my glasses my eyes just look like grey blurs and I can't even see the mascara stick! How I manage to not get it all over my face is a mircile. Anyway, I really love the smoky eye effect, but because of the blindness I could never do it... until now! I can totes do the smoky eye with this, even though I can't see what I'm doing! Yes!

Ok, that's it for now, I actually brought quite a bit more but I'm to lazy to post the rest. Sorry for another long post! I hope you all are enjoying today and that the whole rapture/impending doom isn't putting a dampener on things. :p

Goodies I Brought Today!

Even though I said I wouldn't, I did go out and buy some nail polish, oops! Wasn't many nail polishes I wanted luckily, so I only brought 4 and I forgot to buy a clear topcoat which was the main reason I went out. Annoying! Will have to buy one tomorrow. So, here's what I brought:

The first one is Pink Fever and the photo really doesn't do it justice, it's such a gorgeous colour! The middle one is a crackle polish, hopefully it will crack as well as the Barry M ones and not be a complete disappointment like the 17 crackle. And last but not least is just a glitter top coat, I already brought this a month or so ago, but I lost it, so as it's cheap I brought another one. 

Now the 4th nail polish I brought deserves its own picture because, well, I think I'm in love! I never normally look at the NYC nail polishes, because I don't like how they apply, but today I thought why not have a browse and I saw this and had to have it, it must have been fate as it was the last one! Result!

It's silver glitter then blue and light purple bigger glitter things! It's amazing and a nightmare to try to photograph, haha. 

I also got these in the post today and as you can tell, I was clearly more excited about these than my new polishes, because what kind of girl doesn't love maths books more than polish! 

First Post!

So I thought it was about time I made a nail blog, seeing as I am completely obsessed with nail polish. I think I might even have more nail polishes then shoes, which is a shocker! 

Seeing as this is a nail blog I thought I'd start things off with a cheeky pic of my nails from last week. I'd show you a pic of my nails right now but they are complete crapo seeing as I've been too busy revising to do my nails. So anyway, I think this effect looks AMAZE, but my darling mother thought they were ugly (she must be blind). Basically I did a pink coat (BarryM, my fav brand for nail polish), then a sneaky coat of the new 17 crackle nail polish, then some BarryM black shatter on top. I think it looks pretty cool. I also put a matte topcoat on top (I am OBSESSED with matte atm) and this is the end result! 

P.S. I never know how to place my hands when taking pictures of my nails, however I place my hands just looks super awkward!
