What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #45

ELF - Dark Navy & Poundland - Chit Chat / Barry M - Lavender Glitter Top Coat & Lap Of Honour / Leighton Denny - Star Dust / M&S - Chrome & Treasure Chest

This post is so over-due, I apologise. These are all my festive nails for the Christmas period, but don't worry, you can still rock glitter in January!

Chit Chat was an absolute bargain of a nail polish, I picked it up a year or so ago in Primark & it's one of my favourite glitter top coats. It's got so many different colours in it, it gets a lot of attention for a £1 polish!

If anyone asked me to pick my favourite combination of a glitter top coat & base colour, these 2 Barry M polishes would be coming in at number 1. I love how they look together.

These were my Christmas Day nails. We had our Christmas work party a few days before & as I was undecided on what to wear (I eventually chose a black jumpsuit) I thought sliver would be a perfect option, it just goes with everything! This polish was actually one of the gifts from the M&S beauty advent calendar & it couldn't have come at a more perfect time.

& finally my New Year's nails. I thought I'd mix it up with a bit of gold. These 2 beautiful polishes were a gift from Auntie Jules for Christmas & I love them! They go so perfectly together & looked fab on New Years with an all black outfit. Not sure why I decided to go all black this year but there we go..

What have you been wearing on your nails this month? January's selection has actually been a bit boring. I've been trying to give my nails a bit of a rest this month as I find wearing glitter & removing it can damage them quite a lot, so I've just been going for a few basic base coats.

Hope you're having a lovely week : D

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #44

Bourjois - Black Glitter

These were actually my Halloween nails this year, however I still think they are perfect for Christmas! Black nail varnish always takes me back to my teenage years, but add a bit of glitter to it & you've instantly got the festive vibe as opposed to a gothic vibe! I love this polish in particular as it dries so quickly & doesn't take an hour of scrubbing of your nails to get it off.

Essie - Bahama Mama

This shade is my perfect Autumn colour. I love how it completes any outfit & isn't too in-your-face being a darker red. Don't get me wrong, a bright red is never far away, but I do favour a burgandy nearer Christmas time!

Essie - Bahama Mama & Barry M - Pink Glitter

Who can resist adding a bit of glitter to their nails at Christmas time? Not me, that's for sure! I love making my nails look festive & a glitter top coat does just that.

ELF - Dark Navy

& when I can't be bothered to wait for a base coat to dry to add a glitter top coat, grabbing a nail polish that is already sparkly, does the trick! This one I've had for years & I haven't worn it for ages, but wanted a darker shade for Christmas parties. I actually adore the formula of ELF polishes, they always seem to last a long time & are so easy to apply.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #43

Barry M - Prickly Pear
When I was putting together this post, it made me smile. You can see I'm completely torn between hanging on to Summer & embracing Autumn with my nails! I can't seem to let go of the pastel shades & this Gelly Hi-Shine one from Barry M is a staple in my collection. I don't know if it's something people do like they do for their wardrobes, but I feel like I need to put away all my Spring / Summer polishes, so I only have the Autumn / Winter ones accessible to try & get me into the seasonal spirit!

Essie - Ruffles & Feathers
Like last year, I couldn't resist having a green polish on my nails this month. You might remember the Autumnal nail art design I did using this green Essie polish as a base & it had golden leaves on top. I absolutely loved that design so I'm definitely going to be trying it again this year.

Leighton Denny - Rosey Posey & Nails Inc - Gold Glitter 
& we're back to another Summer design. I couldn't resist adding a bit of glitter to this one though!

Ted Baker Deep Red (no name!) & Miss Sporty - Glitter Effect, Paris
& finally, I think I might have skipped Autumn & headed straight to Christmas with this design! I had these nails planned out in my head for the longest time, but as soon as I'd painted them, I instantly thought of Christmas. However, it really isn't that long to go till Christmas is here.. so in theory, I'm only a month or so ahead of schedule.. 

I'm currently thinking of what nail art do to for Halloween this year. I went quite simple last year, with a gold base & silver spider web detailing on top. I'm dressing up as a witch at work, so thinking maybe green or purple to match my makeup! Are you doing anything for Halloween?

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #42

Fearne Cotton - Burnt Out

I was wearing this back in June, but I'm tempted to get it back out again for Autumn. It's the perfect shade to wear with dark greens & reds at this time of year.

Leighton Denny - Coral Reef

One of my favourite shades! I swear I say this in almost all my nail art posts but it's true! This colour has lived on my toe nails this Summer.

Orly - Harmonious Mess

Ah again another of my favs. The perfect blue for a warm sunny day.

Barry M - Gold

& my latest nail polish of choice. I'm not a massive fan of wearing bright oranges on my nails, but love golds or darker oranges & this one is simply stunning.

May & June Favourites

Lilac Nail Polish
I mean, can you get anymore Summery than a lilac nail varnish? I've found I've been reaching for my favourite pastel nail polishes lately & Utopia by Models Own has to be one of my ultimate favs. I've had it in my collection for years (I should really get another one because I'll be heartbroken when it's finished!) I'm also loving glitter polishes, who said they just have to be used at Christmas time?

Sweet Sheen Lipstick

I can't resist a lipstick that is easy to apply, keeps my lips in great condition & provides a healthy colour in the Summer. Well, all year round to be honest! This one is a complete bargain, only £2 in Superdrug. MUA have some of the most affordable products on the highstreet in my opinion & could be sold for a lot more.

Frazzled

I'm really enjoying dipping in & out of this book, especially now its warmer & I can enjoy it in the garden. It's perfect for giving you that little bit of reassurance that everything's going to be ok. I'd highly recommend it.

Sandals 

These have been my shoe of the Summer so far. For £4, they are an absolute steal & so so so comfy. They are perfect for work & evenings out when I can't be dealing with heels!

Garnier Summer Body Lotion

Every Summer, this lotion becomes my life saver. This year I was tempted by the darker shade & seeing as it was half price in Boots, I couldn't resist! I absolutely love how it makes my skin look beautifully tanned after just two applications, you just need to remember to keep applying it regularly otherwise it does become quite patchy.

TV

Love Island

I just have no words to express how in love with this program I am. It's fully taken over my life yet again! Who is your favourite couple in there at the moment? I absolutely love Marcel & Gabby!

Events 

On 21st May, James & I travelled up to London to see The Sidemen play in their second charity football match. We had such a wonderful day exploring along the Thames in the sunshine, followed by the game. 

James finally got to use his birthday present from me & drive 2 super cars around a race track last month! It was so much fun watching him, vlog coming soon!

We also got the chance to go away on a mini break to Wales at the end of May, which was so lovely. I'd only ever been to Wales when I was little. It's such a beautiful place. You can read about our full adventure here if you like.

Finally, Allan & Maria's wedding. Guys, how can I say this? It was basically one of the best days ever. I've written a full post about the day which you can have a read of it you like, but everything was just so perfect. I can't wait for another wedding! Mils & Craig.. : ' )

What have you been loving in May / June? : )

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #41

Fearne Cotton - Cotton Candy

How pretty is this shade? Seriously. I love it so much.

Marks & Spencer - Blue

Another classic that I've added to my collection recently. A baby blue is never far away from my nails.

Fearne Cotton - Lemon Drizzle

Yellow is one shade that I never used to like wearing, but as soon as the sun comes out, I always crave painting them a bright colour. Again, I think it's quite 'marmite' & sometimes I look at them & think they are horrible, but sometimes I love them! I really have a love / hate relationship with yellow nail varnish!

Fearne Cotton - Lemon Drizzle & Marks & Spencer - Silver Mix

Again, I was going through a 'they look too bright' stage & decided to add a bit of glitter & instantly fell in love with them again! What do you think?

How has May been for you lovelies? Sorry again for the lack of posts but I'm actually enjoying sitting & blogging when I feel like it, not when I have too. I'm lucky to say this is still a hobby for me, so I can take or leave it when I chose, which is how I like it to be.

What are your plans for the weekend? : )

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #40

Barry M - Hologram & Primark - Lilac

This is one of my favourite nail arts as it's so subtle but unique. Barry M glitters are so lovely as they look really effective, but aren't too difficult to remove, as some glitter polishes can be. Hologram always makes me think of that Dre song from years ago!

Ted Baker (no name sorry!)

This was one of the shades James bought me in a gift set at Christmas time & I love it so much! Just look at that shine.. I feel so glam when I wear it.

Ted Baker (no name sorry!) & Nails Inc - Belsize Road

& what makes these nails even more glam? Throwing on a bit of glitter of course! I know I literally just typed Barry M glitter polishes are my favs, but Nails Inc are seriously on a different level (even though they are more difficult to remove) Just look at that sparkle.

Rimmel London - Tangy Tangerine
Ok, so I dreamt I had orange nails, I woke up & painted my nails orange. I actually used to hate orange nail polishes, but now I find them such a statement colour to have in my collection. This Rimmel London polish is just perfect for me. It's not bright & surprisingly goes with a lot of outfits.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #39

Barry M - Atlantic Road

I can't stress to you enough how weird this feels on the nails! This is one of Barry M's 'concrete' polishes from a few years ago. The best way to describe it, is grainy & rough to the touch, almost like sand paper. Ok, I've made it sound horrible, but it really isn't. The colour of this polish is what drew me to it immediately, but I knew I had to purchase it just to see what it felt like!

Barry M Quick Dry - Lap Of Honour

This shade is bae beautiful. There is no other way of describing it. I love the quick dry polishes Barry M do. Like the name suggests, there's no waiting around for these shades to dry, 5 mins after applying them, you're good to go.

Primark - Pink & Barry M - 334 (limited addition)

Now I can't really decide if I like these nails or not.. To be honest I'd completely forgotten I even owned this Barry M confetti polish (sorry for the Barry M overload, I had no idea until I started writing up this post how obsessed I'd been with this brand this month!) but I thought it would go perfectly with a pink base coat. What do you think?

Ciate - My Off Duty Nude & Barry M - Pomegranate
This combo though. I love it! Bit late I know but wouldn't these nails have been perfect for Valentines day? Ah well, there is always next year..

Twitter / Instagram / YouTube / Bloglovin' / Pinterest / Facebook

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #38

Ted Baker - No Name (sorry!) / Studio - Silver Glitter

Ok, so you can clearly see I was not over glittery nails in January.. isn't this just the most beautiful combo though? I'm in love!

Models Own - HyperGel Pink / Barry M - Silver Glitter

These were my birthday nails! Every year, I'll have some form of a pink sparkly combo on my nails & these were one of the brightest yet! I love the Hyper Gels from Models Own, they last for such a long time on the nails & are extremely glossy.

Ciate Mini - Tweed & Tails

Ok, help me out here. Nay or yay? I really don't know. I always try every nail polish I own at least once, because I find some look totally different on the nails than in the bottle, but I'm just not sure.

Ciate Mini - Tweed & Tails / Ciate Mini - Caviar Pearls, Shooting Star

& of course, because I thought they looked a bit plain, I jazzed them up a bit with some squiggles. Again, still not sure about this colour, but it looked slightly more creative when I'd added a top layer of Shooting Star.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #37

Barry M - Pit Stop & Purple Glitter

Pit Stop is one of my favourite shades by Barry M. I love having a pastel shade on my nails at this time of year with a glitter top coat.

Ted Baker - Red & Collection Bedazzled - Razzle Dazzle
This nail art design perfectly sums up what festive nails are to me! Just look at them! I'm obsessed.

Leighton Denny - Rosey Posey & Collection Bedazzled - Razzle Dazzle
I have to admit, I'd never heard of Leighton Denny before spotting this beautiful shade on the front of a magazine last month. I am seriously so impressed. I'm going to definitely be picking up a few more shades from this brand.

Nails Inc - Savile Row & Collection Bedazzled - Razzle Dazzle
These are the nails I chose for Christmas Day. You can never go wrong with a dark red & a sprinkling of glitter.

What do you like wearing on your nails this time of year?

Christmas Outfit + Accessories For Under £40!

So, you've completed your Christmas shopping, bought enough lights to guide a plane onto a runway, put the tree up & arranged plans with your family for Christmas Day. You've written all your cards & bought enough sherry to last you till next Christmas, but is there something your forgetting..?

Oh yes, that dreaded Christmas work meal that everyone is going too. You need a new outfit, something that will stand out & make your colleagues do a double take when they see you in something other than your work uniform..

One problem, you're completely broke. You spent your last £1 buying two rolls of wrapping paper in Poundland to finish wrapping the annoyingly huge present you got for your dad. But wait.. you can get a new playsuit for a tenner, a pair of shoes & bag for £20 & a few accessories for under £40?! Surely not..

-----

So, let's start with this playsuit. £10. Yup, that's right, £10. What makes it even better is it's velvet. My absolute favourite thing to wear at this time of year, it just screams Christmas. I am in love with the halter neck style & it isn't too low cut for a meal with work colleagues (& potentially your boss!) you don't want to go to boobie! 

Now if we move on to these boots. Depending on what your doing after the meal, heels might be more appropriate but I love how a pair of boots look with playsuits. Especially ones that are as glittery as these. Plus you can never go wrong with boots for comfort compared to heels. I also wanted to include these tights. Primark tights are simply amazing. They are so cheap & as I always ladder mine, you never want to invest anymore than a few quid on a pair.

As well as being obsessed with velvet at this time of year, I had to include this fluffy clutch bag which has also worked it's way into my favourites. Just look how pretty it is! Alongside this bracelet, it will add a bit of sparkle to the outfit.

Oh & finally this gorgeous nail polish is only £1.50 & will make a beautiful top coat on top of a dark berry polish, or just on it's own to match the boots. I just had to include it!

What do you think about this outfit?

What are you wearing to your Christmas meal this year?

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #36

Models Own - Aqua Violet Beetle Juice 

I re-discovered this nail polish when I was having a sort out the other week. Isn't the most fabulous colour? It looks like a normal blue shade, but you can see glitter running through it when it catches the light. So perfect for these colder months.

Barry M - Silver Foil

I remember purchasing this after seeing Patricia reviewing it on her YouTube channel many years ago. It's still one of those polishes that I reach for, as people always comment on it.

Ciate Mini - Gold Digga

This shade just screams Autumn to me! It's the perfect colour for wearing on those cold wintery nights, wrapped up with a hot chocolate.

Ciate Mini - Gold Digga & Models Own Nail Art Pen - Silver

Ah & these were my Halloween nails this year. You might remember a few years ago I did a mixture of designs, but this year I went for spiders & webs. Sometimes I think the simplest of designs are the best for nail art.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #35

Fearne Cotton -  Coral Island & Golden Touch 
I love how you can see my nails transitioning from Summer to Autumn in this post! With this first nail art design, I tried to do an ombre glitter effect. It honestly looked better in real life! I used a sponge to get the glitter stronger at the top of the nail & worked my way down to the base.

Ciate - Island Hopping
As you can see, I was still craving glitter in my life at this point, so I used one of my Ciate Mini polishes I got for Christmas last year. I love this shade. I never used to wear orange on my nails, but definitely warming to it this year.

Rimmel London - Berries & Cream
This colour is the definition of Autumn. I'm obsessed with it. I do tend to wear this shade all through the year but it comes into its own in the colder months.

Essie - Ruffles & Feathers / Models Own Nail Art Pen - Gold

& finally my favourite design that I've done over the last few months. I might even go as far as to say my favourite ever Autumn nail art. It took me ages to do the leaves but I was so proud of this one when I'd finished. I'll definitely be doing this again next year!

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #34

Missguided - Misschievous

This is such a summery shade, I love wearing it with a bright red lip & a little black dress in the evening. It's one of those polishes that looks so expensive but I actually got it free with a magazine a few years ago!

Natural Collection - Black Cherry & Ciate - Caviar Pearls - Shooting Star

If I'm honest, I have no idea how I came up with this nail art! I just envisioned it in my head & went for it. I love the nude base colour here, it's one of my all time favourites.

Marks & Spencer's - Blue

How gorgeous is this baby blue? I'm obsessed with it as you can probably see from me using it twice in one post!

Marks & Spencer's - Blue & Collection - Sparkle Top Coat

I thought it looked lovely on it's own, but couldn't resist adding a bit of glitter. I really want to try it with a matte top coat as well as I think that'll look beautiful too.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #33

Barry M - Turquoise

I'm so obsessed with blue nail polish at the moment! I've found myself picking it up every time I've gone to paint my nails. Powder blues are such a statement colour to use in Summer, I even managed to match my toe nails to my finger nails (which never happens!)

Essie - Ruffles & Feathers

You might remember in my latest nail art post, I featured a gorgeous orange nail polish from Essie, that I fell in love with. So much so, I included it in last month's favourites. In the pack of three I also received this beautiful green. I'm usually more of a pink / red girl, but this colour looked so stylish on my fingers, I couldn't resist wearing it to death this month.

Essie - Haute In The Heat

This dark pink was also included in the pack of three Essie polishes I picked up from TK Maxx. I love it! It looks more red in the picture here, but it is the most adorable dark pink. I haven't got any other shades in my collection like this, so I was pleased it add it.

This last one.. what can I say..? I literally had this idea floating around in my head so I just had to give it a go. It looks a bit mad but I really liked it. Sort of a mosaic effect, but I managed to use a few shades in my collection that rarely get to see the light. The lime green is so luminous, it's a bit over the top for an every day look, but I love it regardless!

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #32

Models Own - Indian Ocean

This is one of my golden oldies. I'm seriously not kidding when I say I must have had this nail polish at least 3 years.. haha! It's still going strong though. I call these my mermaid nails because they just look so magical. 

Primark - Pink

I just can't get enough of Primark's nail polishes at the moment, they are all just so beautiful. I picked up this shade which is a gorgeous barbie pink, it's perfect for Spring.

Sinful Colors - Big Daddy

Ah another polish I've had for the longest time. This one is special though, it's the only reddy / orange shade I have in my collection. When I first bought it I thought it was a bog standard red, but it can look like a dark orange in some lights.

Essie - Roarrrrange & Models Own Nail Art Pen - Gold

Finally my latest purchase, this beautiful orange nail polish by Essie. I found it in the TK Maxx sale, in a pack of three & I asked on Snapchat which colour to paint my nails & this one won! Orange is a colour I never tend to wear on my nails, but once I'd added stripes, it felt more 'me'. I think it's going to be the perfect shade for my toes in summer. I have to say how amazingly long-lasting this polish is as well, I've had it on my nails a week & it hasn't chipped at all!

I'd love to know which one is your favourite & what you've been wearing on your nails this Spring : )

March & April Favourites

Accessorize Blusher

This blush, what can I say. I've been wearing it for years but just discovered that I've never posted about it. (well I did feature it in a haul, but never reviewed it) It's the most beautiful blush I've ever used & if you see me out & about, I will be wearing this on my cheeks. It's in the shade Quiver & after searching for it on the Accessorize website, I couldn't seem to find it so I'm not sure if they even do it anymore! It has the most beautiful pink & silver shimmers running through it & looks gorgeous on the cheeks.

Topshop Highlighter

I was shopping with James a few weeks ago & we headed into Topshop because I had a voucher (& there was a sale.. so I really couldn't resist) I hardly ever head to the makeup section in store, but decided to give it a look. I came across their highlighters & found this one. Oh my God, I'm in love. I don't want to write too much about it in this post as I have a full review coming soon, but it's one of the most beautiful highlighters I own. Definitely worth the price tag.

Primark Mug

Let me just start by saying, I'm obsessed with mugs. Like, actually obsessed. I've been slowly collecting them over the past year & when I saw this one in Primark for £2, I knew I had to have it. Even though it is quite a big mug, it does hold the heat very well & of course, holds a lot of tea which is always a good thing! I'm going to stop now, reading this back sounds so boring if your not a mug lover!

Makeup Revolution Palette

I reviewed this palette at the end of February so I won't chatter on about it too much here (view the post here if you like) but it's one of the most gorgeous, pigmented palettes I own. There's a mixture of shimmer & matte shades, perfect for any occasion.

Calm 

Ah where do I start? I am going to do a full post on this book & app, but I wanted to feature it in my favourites this month because it has been just that, a favourite. I first discovered the Calm book when reading Kayleigh's blog a few weeks ago & went straight onto my Amazon account & purchased it. It came the next day & I got sucked straight into it. I'm pacing myself though, you know when you're so excited about something, especially a book, you read it so quickly then get really sad when it's over in a flash? Yes, exactly that. So I'm gradually reading a few pages a night alongside listening to the Calm app. Like I say, I'll post properly about the book & app in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for that!

Primark Nail Polish

You might have seen me mention this nail polish in my recent nail art post, but I seriously can't rave about it enough! Let's start with the price, I know Primark are known for their bargains, but this polish only cost me 80p! & of course, being so cheap, you wouldn't expect the formula to be great, but I only applied two coats & it didn't budge for a week! Absolutely amazing. The feature I was most excited about was how it claimed to be a quick-dry nail varnish. I get so bored waiting for my polish to dry, that I always try to find brands that use quick dry in their advertising. Again, this did not disappoint. It dried within a few minutes & I was ready to get on with my day. I will just say that I recently tried another polish from Primark (not a quick dry) & it did chip within a few days, so not all of the formulas are as good as this one.

Music - This Year, Marger / Hands To Myself, Selena Gomez

Ah these songs! Totally different to what I usually listen to but I just can't get enough of them this month! Selena Gomez' album is just incredible.

Events

At the beginning of March, we pulled of a surprise birthday party for my beautiful best friend Boop. I vlogged the whole day so you can watch it here if you like! We managed to trick her into thinking we were going out for dinner, but actually appeared at a barn we'd hired, filled with friends & family. It was so lovely to see her shocked face!

James & I also went to Crufts at the beginning of March. It's somewhere I've always wanted to go & was such a lovely day. I even got to hug a pug & a Chihuahua!

At the end of March, my grandparents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. I still can't get over how amazing that is. They are still so adorable together & we celebrated with a family meal on Easter Sunday. James was also on his Easter break from uni, so we had a few weeks together at the beginning of April.

How has your month been lovelies?

I'm so excited for May & June, there is so much happening. We have Elisa & Jamie's wedding, The Sidemen football match & of course our holiday to Corfu! Make sure your subscribed to my Twitter & Instagram to keep up to date with all our adventures! : )

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #31

Ciate Mini - Twilight

You know when you just feel like a change when it comes to your every day nails? This mini polish from Ciate that I received for Christmas is the perfect 'night out' shade for your nails. I love how it has subtle gold glitter running through it & how it shines in the light. Definitely one of my favourites.

Easter Nails - Barry M, Models Own & Accessorize Nail Art Pens

I'm so proud of these nails, they took me ages! The chick was actually the easiest to do & turned out to be my favourite design, which one do you like best?

Bourjois - Innovation

This is my go-to nail varnish when I want something quick & easy. It's got such a lovely pearly pink shine to it, despite looking quite plain, it adds the perfect sophisticated edge to an outfit.  

PS Primark Nails - 09 Lilac 

I was so impressed with this nail varnish, it cost me 80p from Primark & as it claimed to be a quick dry nail varnish, I was keen to see how speedy that actually was. I'm happy to say it was very quick & most importantly, lasted about a week without chipping, which is amazing for my nails. I'd highly recommend this shade, it looks gorgeous on the nails.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #30

 

146 / Models Own Nail Art Pen in Gold

I absolutely love wearing nude & peach shades on my nails - it makes me feel tanned, even at this miserably time of year! These little nail polishes were a birthday present from my friend Ricka & I absolutely love them. She bought me the most lovely shades.

 

Rimmel - Berries & Cream / Barry M Nail Art Pen in White

These were my Valentine's nails this year. I wanted something simple but cute & these fitted that description perfectly. They didn't take me any time at all & I loved how they turned out.

 

106 / Models Own Nail Art Pen in Gold & Acessorize Nail Art Pen in Turquoise

Ah I haven't done an Aztec design for ages! Sometimes I find with nail art I need a picture for inspiration but these literally just popped into my head & onto my nails! I'm loving the gold stripes this year as you can tell!

 

Ciate - Rollarcoaster

& finally this beautiful blue sparkly nail polish is one of my new favourites. It looks quite dark on camera but looks so bright & sparkly in real life.

What I've Been Wearing On My Nails #29

 

 

Barry M - Red & Collection - Glitter

These were my Christmas Day nails! They bring back so many lovely memories from that day (can you believe Christmas was over a month ago?!) I used a glitter top coat over this beautiful bright red from Barry M. It's one of my favourites.

 

Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy - Get Lucky

I was lucky enough to receive this polish for Christmas & I'm currently loving the gel effect brands are starting to release. It really does make such a difference, just look how shiny my nails are! This has become one of my favourite reds in my collection.

 

Ciate - Pecan Pie

I was extremely happy when I opened up the Ciate Calendar on Christmas day & this was one of the polishes inside. I've never worn brown on my nails before, but there was something about this varnish that lured me in. It has a very subtle gold sparkle running through it, which is beautiful when it catches the light.

 

Ciate - Encore!

Another stunning shade from my calendar. This one is a slightly orangy red (makes a change as I've been wearing red constantly this month as you can see) I owned a few Ciate polishes before these & loved them, but now they are definitely one of my favourite brands. The nail varnishes are always so beautiful & last for ages on the nails.

 

What have you been wearing on your nails in January? Hope this gives you some inspiration for Valentines Day : )
