ESSIE: Mint Candy Apple

Hi everyone, sorry the posts have been a bit thin on the ground, I have been really busy the past two weeks since my birthday with exams and assignment deadlines. It's been crazy to say the least!!

Anyway, I'm back with one of my favourite type of posts, nail polish!! 

I recently had a splurge on nail polish and have been working my way through them. Today I tried out mint candy apple by Essie. It is called mint but I would call it a pale duck egg blue. It took 3 coats to achieve the finish in the picture but if you were in a rush then two would be fine. I really love the colour as it is fresh and summery. 

I really recommend this colour and you can purchase it here for £7.99.

Thanks for reading!

Watermelon Nails!

Hi Everyone, 

I was feeling slightly creative today while painting my nails so I decided to attempt a watermelon design. It was really simple to do and I think it looks quite effective!

All you need is a bright pink polish, a pale lemon colour, a mint green and a black!

First give give all your nails two coats of pink

Then do a thick french tip with the yellow

Then do a thin tip with the mint green

Use a cocktail stick and black nail polish to create the spots

That's it! Simples!!

Time to blow out the candles!!

Hi everyone,

Today was my last exam before half term!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe they're nearly all over, it feels amazing!!!

Also, I feel extra happy because I turn seventeen this week! I will soon be driving too which I can't wait for!! I applied for my provisional licence about a month ago and my picture is less than flattering. It looks like its been taken on my death bed!

Even though there is a matter of days before my birthday I am still stuck with present ideas. My parents are buying my driving lessons but apart from that I haven't a clue what I want??

If you have any ideas please let me know!!!!

Anyway, this was a pretty pointless post but I am feeling pretty good right now so wanted to share it with you!!!

The Power of GHD's!!

Hi everyone, If you ever watch my videos then you'll know that 9 times out of 10 my hair is scrunched back in a bun and this is because my hair is frizzy, big and unmanageable.

To wear my hair out long takes alot of effort, usually involving some sort of heat which I try to avoid as it's very damaging to my hair but as i've spend most of my life growing my hair then I want to show it off right????

Anyway, last year my sister and I went halves in buying a pair of GHD hair straighteners. I had hoped these would be my shortcut to manageable hair but it still takes over an hour. However, the results are fantastic and my hair is left in manageable state for at least three days.

So, basically do you think I should make the effort more often??

China Glaze: Luxe and Lush

Hi everyone, I'm on a bit of a nail polish kick this week as I've received orders from both Essie and China Glaze. The latest lacquer to coat my nails is Luxe and Lush from China Glaze, I think this polish is from the Hunger Games collection. I'd heard many good things about this polish as it isn't your usual glitter topcoat. It has gold and silver flecks that look beautiful when used over a colour. 

In this picture I put two coats over a black nail polish from ELF. I love the effect and it's unlike anything I've ever seen. I think this would look beautiful over a navy so that'll be the next combination I'll try out!

I am really enjoying nail polish at the moment so if you have any recommendations I would love to her them!

Essie Flawless: Swatch & Review

Hi everyone,

Recently I picked up a few Essie nail polishes and i've been trying them out over the past few days. At the moment I have 'flawless' on my nails which is the perfect everyday pink. Its quite bright but subtle enough to wear to school or work. It is completely opaque in two coats and with a good topcoat it will remain chip free for at least four days. I really love the colour and it will probably be my go to pink nail polish. You can buy it here,

Have you tried flawless???

What Essie polishes do you recommend??

REVIEW: Benefit, They're Real!

If you watch my videos you'll know that I recently picked up the they're real mascara from Benefit.

This has had so much hype since it came out as it gives your lashes the appearance that they're fake.

This is pretty expensive, setting you back £18.50 but as I had a voucher I decided to try it out.

It was love at first application! My natural eyelashes are a reasonable length and thickness but nothing special. In one coat my lashes had nearly doubled in length and thickness.

It is extremely black which I love. It holds a curl really well and I've just been wearing a bit of eyeliner and my eyes are done!!

I really love this mascara and would definitely purchase it again.

You can buy it here.

Plus Debenhams are having 10% all their beauty items between May 19th-21st so the mascara will be on offer for £16.15!!!
