My Top 10 Nail Polishes

The other day I realised I don't just like nail polish a lot, I have an addiction. If I had to lose all my other polishes these are probably the ones I'd hold on to.
  • Barry M's Tangerine is lovely for Summer and just generally adds something a bit different, it also comes in useful for Halloween!
  • Bright Red by Barry M is your classic red which you can wear all year round, I think everyone needs a red like this in their collection.
  • Picadilly Circus is quite a recent favourite, it's similar to Barry M's Raspberry but much better in my opinion! It's a deep cerise colour whereas Raspberry is more red.
  • Model's Own Bubblegum is a neon pink colour, it dries semi matte which I find a bit odd so I usually put a top coat over it. (Better picture here)
  • Milan is a super sparkly shimmery pink which is completely different to anything else in my collection. 


  • 'Bare' was free in Instyle magazine, it's still not my perfect nude but I do still really like it. It works well for a variety of nail art :)
  • I got Big Smoke on the day Topshop make up launched, it's very sophisticated. It's got a lot more dimension than Barry M's mushroom!
  • Juicy Jules is one of the most amazing nail polishes ever! You can get lots of different looks from just one polish, I like layering it over dark polishes. 
  • Barry M's Blue Glitter doesn't get enough hype in my opinion! I'd say it's the best glitter polish I own - completely opaque in three coats. I wore on my toes all throughout the summer. 
  • I like Navy by Barry M as it's just the right navy, a lot of navy's can look too dark. A nice alternative to black.
Sooo, what's your favourite nail polish?

Stripey

Top: H&M | Skirt: Topshop | Socks: New Look | Scarf: Jack Wills | Ring: ASOS | Necklace: Topshop

Brrrrr! Isn't it chilly today!? Between you and me, I've actually wanted it to be colder so I could wear my new scarf which I snapped up in the Jack Wills (hadn't you guessed?) sale for £12.60 instead a jaw dropping £49! It's very cosy indeed.

I also opted for my Topshop wool skirt which is probably one of my favourite items in my wardrobe - it goes with everything and it's a much more interesting alternative to black! I got it last year in the sale for £20 before Christmas and it's good quality, which can be hard to come by in Topshop!

Nail wise, I went for a 'lazy ombre' (find any polish going with pink in) sitting there mixing pink polish with white on four separate occasions didn't sound too appealing!

January Favourites

Blimey, it's practically the end of January already! I decided to do a bit of a different favourites this time round, being a new year; a more collaged mood board layout (also making the most of Picnik before it goes!) Has anyone found an alternative to Picnik yet?

I'm still loving collar detail! You probably all know this by now so I'll stop saying it!

Preparing to wave goodbye to Burgundy until next winter!

Sheer spotty tights and knee highs is something I want to try!

Of course I couldn't miss out some pastels! Pastel pleated skirt and a multi coloured pastel shirt. Yes, yes, yes!

Colour Crush: Mint

Shirt | Top | Jeans | Purse | Bag 1 | Bag 2 | Bracelet | Shorts | Nail Polish
Oops. Kind of just realised this is pretty similar to my pastel wish list I did the other day... Sorry for tempting you with pretty clothes! Mint green happens to be my latest favourite, I think it looks so fresh - perfect for Spring. If I had to pick one thing from above it would probably be the shorts, with the first bag coming in a close second (I love the vibrancy of it!)
What's your favourite piece? Are you a fan of green?
