Recent Nails #9

Sinful Colors - Big Daddy

 

I never used to this like this colour on the nails. You know, that weird in-between shade of orange & red but oh my gosh, I'm obsessed with it now. I think Sinful Colors have created the perfect contrast between a pastel & a bright. I'm super impressed.

Sinful Colors - Pink Forever / Models Own nail art pen in white & black

 

You have no idea how proud I am of these! Haha, yes I know, there is a lot of nail art designs that are harder to do than this one, but for my first attempt? Not bad huh? Again, this pink shade is too adorable. : )

Rimmel - Too Cool To Tango / Models Own nail art pen in white

 

Polka dots? On my nails? Never. Well, ok.. maybe a lot.

ELF - Mint Cream

 

This polish is so beautiful, it's sad I don't use it more often. The mint green is perfect for Summer & even though ELF polishes are devils to remove, I've only ever had one that was prone to chipping, the rest are so long lasting, including this one. And only £1.50? It's a bargain.

Ebay Lipstick Review - Star Pink & Melon

Recently, I've found myself becoming addicted to Ebay. I go through phases of loving it & hating it & at the moment, I love it. So when I saw these bargain lipsticks for £1.95 each, I couldn't resist.

 

I picked them up from this UK seller & they do such a range of colours, I'm surprised I controlled myself with just the two shades but having free postage means you can always try the product & purchase another if you liked it without paying out for the delivery again.

 



Top - Star Pink 038 / Bottom - Melon 020

It's quite hard to actually see the shade when you select it on the seller's page, only because there are so many to choose from & are all quite similar, the seller fails to give a clear swatch on most of the shades. Melon was actually more orangey / coral than I thought it was going to be but the Star Pink is pretty much true to the image.



Melon 020

Like I said, this shade is more orangey than I thought it would be, but it's actually gorgeous on the lips. I don't actually own any orange lipsticks, I usually either buy pinks or reds, but this one is a lovely addition to my collection to add some variety. Overall its beautifully pigmented & easy to apply.



Star Pink 038

This shade is gorgeous. It's quite a dark pink so I'm leaning towards wearing it more in the Autumn / Winter months, but regardless I love the pigmentation.



Top - Star Pink 038 / Bottom - Melon 020

Both shades however don't have the greatest staying power, especially when it comes down to eating & drinking, but overall I'm super happy with this find & for £1.95 each, you can't really complain.

Today is actually the first day of my week off work, oh my gosh. I've actually realised it's been over a year (CRAZY) since I've had a week or more off.. & luckily the sun has come out again here in the UK to start my week. I've got a meal tonight with the girls & my Auntie is down for four days with us, so maybe a trip out on Saturday to our local fair but other than that, I can chill & relax for a week. : D

 

Also, James is home from Cornwall tonight. He's been on a boy's golf holiday for the past week (mostly been raining like it has here) but hopefully they'll get a good game in before they head home later.

 

How has your week been? : )

OOTD - Floral Function

Dress - Primark via ASOS / Sandals - New Look / Sunnies - Ebay

If you're reading this, I'm surprised. Half of you have probably clicked the small x in the corner of the screen right now after seeing this dress on yet another blogger. I think half the world has this dress. : ' ) Anyway, more to the point, isn't it gorgeous?!

 

I only just managed to take these pictures before it started pouring with rain (hence the lack of photos) & I had to make a fast retreat into the house with Honey. The weather has gone back to the typical British tradition of a wet summer. Lovely.

 

How are you all? Enjoying your weekends?

Lust List

 

The dress - Everybody I know has been obsessing over elephants recently & who can really blame them? Especially with Topshop bringing out some gorgeous skirts & dresses in the adorable pattern. But deep down, even though I was lusting over them, I can't deny how much more appealing a giraffe is to me. That sounds weird right? But anyone that knows me will know, a giraffe has been my favourite animal since.. well ever. And look at this beautiful dress ASOS have provided for me. It's destiny I think.

 

The bag - How me is this bag? Pink, cute & well.. pink. I saw it featured in Georgia's latest post (seriously, if you don't follow her, you must. Mega style crush) & just knew it was going straight onto my lust list.

 

The shoes - Again, how adorable? I don't have any heels like these & think they look so elegant & perfect for Summer.

 

The iPhone case - I swear I buy my iPhone more accessories than I buy myself. But can you blame me? There are cases on Ebay for almost everything & everyone & seeing as most of my cases are pink, this galaxy one would make a nice addition to add some variety.

 

The necklace - Triangles. Who knew I'd become so obsessed with them. But I am. This one just screams BUY ME.

 

The skort - I think every blogger in the world has mentioned this item in either a love or hate way. I however, am no exception.. mine is in the post as we speak! I'm developing an obsession for white clothing at the moment, so obviously my choice was easy.
