Revlon, im impressed!

So yesterday in boots i decided to take a little wonder down the cosmetics section to just you know browse at the nail polish (i should have known this would end with a purchase!)
I wondered past Barry M (no luck) then Models own (same old) and as i lost all faith i walked past Revlon on spied this little beauty!
This is my first ever Revlon nail polish and i seriously impressed.



What do you think?
The colour is Facets of Fuchsia and you know its my style of nail polish with 2 other faves being Topshops Gypsy night and My Private Jet by OPI.


Which other revlon nail polishs are worth a look?

DIY necklace and Pretty red nails!

Last week i decided to revamp one of my Topshop necklaces.

I got the idea from one of my favourite Youtubers Jeni.


This was a cute green necklace i got from Topshop a while a go, it is nice but because the chain is SOOOO long it can get lost in a outfit.
This is a Primark bracelet i got in a set from Michaels mum. It was to big for my wrist.

So i decided to put them together, and here is the finished product. So easy but a really cute piece. I will wear it in a outfit of the day soon.


Onto the nails all this week i have been wearing red polish, I wore this OPI Conquistadorable colour (wow what a name)

Here it is on the nails.

Then i put on the duo which is totally amazing!!!

Nails inc Milan and Barry M Red glitter.

And on the nails.

And the last penny goes to.

This past week i went to London for 2 days, i did 2 videos on the streets of London and will hopefully have them up this week.
While there i didn't do much shopping, although i did head to Oxford street because i love the feel and vibe of it (reminds me of inner Sydney).
I had major money/bank dramas while down there but besides that i have decided to have NO MORE spending. As you all should know I'm traveling in September/October so i need to keep any funds for that and also due to work i don't have loads of extra cash coming in (but this is ok because i LOVE my job).
So these shall be my last purchases for a while.

These are my beauties i found on Oxford street.
The bag i got at Primark and i couldn't pass it up, i use these canvas bags ALL THE TIME and this one is so cute and funny.
The necklace was from Topshop i will do a whole post on it this week as it was amazing and i want to go into great detail about this necklace.

I also found these polishes at Topshop the pink one blew me away it is sooooooooo amazing and i have never seen anything like it (does Topshop Oxford street get different Barry M to everywhere else?)
And i have seen the Holograms on Fee's blog and picked them up because again i have only ever seen them there and never seen them where i could purchase them.

Arn't Primark scarves the BEST?
I love my Primark scarves and i am finding that even though its warming up here in the UK i still need a light scarf as there always seams to be a cool breeze.
I picked this because of the colours and patterns then i opened it and realised it was a union jack. I think i love it even more.
Last of all is my official piece of of Royal Wedding memorabilia, i purchased this pin at the Westminster Abbey shop for a donation of a pound.
Theres something to show the grand kids.

I will post the pictures and videos this week.

Flash cosmic is the most AMAZING polish.

"You mean to say i have to wait until im 30 to get chanel?"

Last night i went out for Kirks sister Kerrys 30 birthday.
We went to the Green room in Liverpool and all round it was a great night with a lovely bunch of girls.


Here are some photos of me from the night along with what i wore, i have been strictly instructed to not put any photos of his mum or sister on here even though they both looked great!


My dress is vintage and i picked it up at Flashback.
Tights are primark and for the record I'm wearing 3 pairs!
Long sleeves are Mesop, which i got in Aus
My shoes are from River island.
This is the bag i took is a hand made leather number from Woodchip boutique.
They now have a blog make sure you check them out.

And this is the one and only accessory i wore.
I bought this yesterday in Topshop because i really wanted a statement ring to wear.
FYI it was 2.00pounds
BARGIN.
Nails of the night where Barry M blue glitter considering my dress was blue with glitter through it.

My weekend!

Here is another weekend for you all! There are some slightly embarrassing photos on here and not much of anything to be honest but here it goes.
We spent most of the weekend organising my place to live (i will post about that this weekend) and doing not much else, i didn't even get to hit the shops : (

We did have a pizza this weekend though, we bought this on Saturday and ate it Sunday we where overly surprised when we opened it though. If you look at the box this is the size it should be, but...
Something had happen it was about half the size, it was like it had slid to one side and then been frozen.

I asked to have my photo taken so i could show you what i wore and Kirk also did his. He is wearing a James bond shirt from Zara, his shorts are reworked vintage from Urban Outfitters and his sunnies are from Topman. Talk about being better dressed than me!

This is me, I'm wearing another Woodchip Boutique dress, a pair of Topshop tights and my little satin flats. Along with my watch and bracelet.

Here's a embarrassing shot for you, although i look horride here (no makeup Sunday) i have little ties on my dress so as you can see i have done a little bow with them. This is my I'm so cute look but after this photographic evidence I'm not sure I'm right haha!
I have my Barry M nail polish on here to!

On Sunday night i ventured back to Weaverham on the train for the last time. When i got in i decided to have some milk and cookies (kindly bought for me by Kirks mum because she knows i love them) what a way to end a funny weekend.
What did you do on the weekend?

Nailed it..... Blue glitter.

I have a new Barry M in my collection and it is this yummy blue glitter color. I went into Superdrug searching for the Mushroom color and came out with this baby!

I have wanted a solid glitter for a while now but thought i probably needed to invest in OPI or something, but because i have been getting such good use out of all my other Barry M nail paints i decided to give it ago.








These photos where taken just after i out it on, its a good 2 coats with some touch ups because i wanted a full cover with no weak spots. Its lovely and shiny.

I will keep you updated on how it lasts etc.


What are your thoughts on glitter nails?

Nailed it.... Mint green.


Why hello little fat fingers, i swear they don't look that bad in person haha.
This is a Barry M polish i bought over the weekend.
Its Mint green 304.
I'm sure everyone has seen it before, i know i have, but i must say this is the only polish i have had on for more than two days that hasn't started to chip off.
I'm slightly anal about that and normally re-do them every second day.
I use the Barry M top and base coat but it seams to make no difference
P.S There may not be a post tomorrow as i will be off giving my support to my boy and his family at his grandpas funeral.
Rest in peace.
