NOTD

Hi my lovies! Today I bring another NOTD to you, this time using Avon Speed Dry+ in Rose Amour

Compared to my last Avon NOTD, I actually really like this one, the first pic isn't true to colour but the 2nd and 3rd are more like it. Its still not as bright as my usual style but definitely not bland :D

Close Up

This is 3 coats and you can still see somewhat of VNL but its not in your face obvious only when you look real close!

Cute pearls added on my ring fingers as accents. This polish had a shimmery underton of gold so its really very pretty in the light, unfortunately we are under a severe weather warning again here so no sunshiney pictures for me today!

Loves and Hugs

Polyvore Playing

I was bored this morning so decided to have a play on Polyvore! The outfit really reflects the weather outside right now!

I think its pretty casual and looks totally comfy!

NOTD

Hiya! 

Here is todays NOTD, last night I done a collection spreadsheet using google docs (see the link at the top you can all view my collection there) While doing the spreadsheet I realised I had so many polishes I had never used or never shown you guys so I am going to make an effort to get through my list so you can all see and I can also get to wear them instead of moving towards my faves all the time hehe!

This is Avon Nailwear Pro in Romance

 I am going to tell the truth here, I don't like it, its sheer, streaky and too light for my tastes but its ok, I suppose it would be nice for someone that likes lighter colours but as you all know I like bright polish colours and very rarely wear pale colours.

Just for fun here is another close up artsy shot like was in the last NOTD, this one wasn't an accident I quite like it!

I had to add something to it so the ring fingers as usual my go to accent nail have a random pink glitter on them from my striper collection.

Hope you like it

Happy Feet fish pedicure

I found this picture in my camera roll and realised I forgot to share an experience from my Holidays!

I had a fish pedicure done at Happy Feet in Blackpool, it was £10 for 15 minutes, 5 of those minutes were unbearable cos I am really ticklish at my feet unless you know how to touch them right ;) 

The other 10 minutes was awesome and I really didnt want to get out, the day we got this done we had been walking about for hours in the sweltering heat and sun so it was awesome to relax and let the little fishies do their bit. 

To be honest I didn't notice much difference on my feet but for the actual relaxation experience I would recommend it!

Coleen Signature Eyes "Emerald Goddess"

Hey girlies! Today I am sharing the bargain of the week with you and doing a mini review plus eye look for you all!

I got this palette in SemiChem for 49p!!! I couldnt' pass up on that even if they turned out not to be too great but the formula on these are really pigmented and gorgeous! I bought 5 palettes all together and it didnt even cost for £2.50! I got 4 eyeshadow palettes in 3 different shades (I have an extra of this one I am showing today) and I accidently picked up a lip palette thinking it was another e/s one...oh well :)

Here is Coleen Signature Eyes in "Emerald Goddess" I don't know when these were released or how much the original selling price would have been sorry.

Again my laptop decides to turn pictures the wrong way grrr! So you can see 4 gorgeous green colours varying from a highlight colour way darker to a beautiful mossy green colour, I was well impressed once I got these home and had a peek (they were shrink wrapped in the shop so I couldnt open them)

Here is what I used to do todays look (minus my UDPP which I forgot to photograph)

Coleen Palette, Black 17 eyeliner, Avon Supershock mascara, Maxfactor freebie mascara (but super freaking awesome) and my old faithfull eyeshadow brushes. I only have these 2!!!

This is the look I got, I only used the shadows from the palette so as you can see I think it turned out pretty good! I have no other makeup on as its just too hot and I would be uncomfortable lol!

No Glasses

(sorry for the bad eyebrows I am growing them out to be re-shaped soon)

Glasses

Hope you all like it, you can also see my natural hair here too hehe!!!

NOTD

Hi Girlies, cant believe it is August already this year is flying by, pretty soon it will be my birthday and Christmas :)

Todays post is a NOTD of a lemming polish I had for a little while, this is Marks & Spencers Rainbow, its a bit pricey than I would normally pay at £7.50 but its fricking linear holographic, yes I said it HOLOGRAPHIC!!! So on this one occasion I didn't mind paying for it :)

Swatch pic - indoor light so you cant see the holo too much but take this baby in the sunshine and oh my gosh but you need sunglasses on!!!

Bottle pic, click to enlarge you can see the holo better here :)

Because I am a dunce and was enjoying time with my boyfriend I forgot to take a sunshine picture but I will do as soon as I can for you all to see believe me it is awesome, I would recommend any UK ladies to hit up M&S right now :D
