Pastel Nail Varnishes For Spring

Unless you've been buried under a rock, you'll know how big pastels are this Spring so I thought I'd show you my top 6 nail varnishes. Yes, that's right, 6. I couldn't pick just 5! : )



L - R: ELF Lilac, ELF Mint Cream, Barry M Pale Blue, Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream, Barry M Peach Melba, Barry M Lemon Ice Cream

Let's start with the two ELF varnishes. They were £1.50 each from ELF's website. I only bought these at the beginning of the year, thinking how gorgeous they'd be for Spring / Summer. Only thing I will say about them is they do take longer than normal to dry, but the colours are gorgeous.
 
My current nails - ELF Lilac & Mint Cream

The other 4 varnishes you can see are all by Barry M. Peach Melba is the most recent buy out of them all when there was that blogger craze about it last year! I'm so glad I got it, it's such a beautiful colour. : )

The other 3 I've loved ever since I started wearing nail varnish. A girl has to have a pastel pink in her collection somewhere & the Strawberry Ice Cream is perfect! The Pale Blue just reminds me of the sky when there are no clouds & it's just gorgeously sunny. However, the Lemon Ice Cream & I have had a love / hate relationship. Two Summer's ago, I put it on my nails & took it off immediately. For some reason, I just didn't like it. However, when I tried it on my toes, I loved it. Since then, it's been my perfect Summer shade for my toes.

*Awesome tips*

- Try mixing up your pastels on your nails, never stick to just one colour. Because they are all pale shades, they look beautiful mixed together.

- Try using a matte top coat on top of your pastel nails, it takes away the shine & looks amazing.

No7 Poppy King Lipgloss

I received this lip gloss in a Christmas box from one of my friends. : )



I love No7 products, especially their lipsticks. I've never tried a lip gloss from their range before, so I was really excited to get this for Christmas. I love the packaging, the polka dots are so effortlessly pretty.


It is quite a glittery gloss, which I'm not too fussed on, but it applies really well & stays on your lips for a long period of time.


The swatch actually looks quite dark, but when applied to your lips it blends in with your natural lip colour so just looks like your wearing a very sheer gloss. (with a bit of sparkle)

However, it is quite a sticky gloss, which again, I'm not a fan of, but it does look gorgeous on. : )

Have you tried any of the Poppy King range?

OOTD - Sail Away With Me






Top, shorts, sunglasses, shoes - Primark / Nails - MUA & Barry M

How sad. All Primark.. again! -sigh-

This crop top was a complete steal for £3 though! Love the little boats. : )

I have to say, it's been such gorgeous weather, I couldn't resist getting my legs out, even after 10mins of being outside I got cold & ran inside for my leggins! I refuse to put jeans on though!

Hope you're all well lovelies. : ) & of course, like most outfit posts, this wouldn't be complete without a snap of my Honey Pot.

Oh What A Wonderful Saturday. (JLS!)

So, on Saturday, I had the most amazing day.

For those of you who don't know, I was lucky enough to get tickets to go to the Sports Relief concert at the 02, where JLS, Oli Murs & Rizzle Kicks performed. I haven't been to a concert for just over 3 years - I have to say, I've totally missed the buzz of seeing a band live, singing your heart out & just generally taking way too many photos.





Offft look at the first one of Oli, delicious. ; )







Yes - Miranda Hart!


Absolutely amazing. : )

Still can't believe Miranda came on stage & started 'dancing' behind them. Lol.
