Bourjois Ghost Lovers

Hello chickas! Hope you’re all well!

While Andy and I were in Bournemouth flat-hunting, of course I made the obligatory trip to Boots and Superdrug and this little beauty instantly caught my eye. This is actually from the Bourjois Halloween collection, which I have been slowly but surely hunting down over the last month! It’s the first time I’ve seen a ‘sensible’ brand like Bourjois step out for something like Halloween, which is exciting!

Seventeen Diamond In The Rough

Hello lovelies! I have a slightly controversial polish for you all today. This was another impulse buy from Boots whilst in Bournemouth (oh I DEFINITELY made the most of the 3 for 2 offer!)… It was a curiosity purchase, as I’ve now seen so many brands doing similar things and I’ve been hoping for a while that one might just make it work. I think Seventeen just…might!

I’m talking Barry M Sequins, Nails Inc Beaded, Essie Belugaria… of them all I liked Belugaria best and this one is practically a dupe at half the price. I know this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but see what you think. It’s really grown on me! Behold the Seventeen Rock Hard X-treme Nail Effects in Diamond in the Rough.

OPI Alcatraz…Rocks Liquid Sand

Press Sample

Hello lovely ladies! Again it’s been a little while… although I fully intend to get back on track now… I have 1 month of unemployment so there’s no excuse really! Andy and I are moving in together in Bournemouth in January so I’ve got a lot of time to sort out my stash, get through some reviews I’ve promised and show you all some exciting new stuff!

Today I have the exceptionally pretty Alcatraz…Rocks Liquid Sand polish from OPI’s San Francisco collection. I adore this polish… I know some of you aren’t keen on the Liquid Sand finish but this one is a must-have!

OPI In The Cable Car-Pool Lane

Press Sample

Hello lovelies, sorry (again) for the long gap between now and the last time I blogged, I have an extra pretty A/W polish for you to see today. Lately I have been really loving burgundy – I have burgundy EVERYTHING at the moment – gloves, clothes, eyeshadow, lipstick… I’m obsessed! So when this beautiful colour popped through my letterbox I was ultra excited. I have repainted my nails in this colour 3 times this week, which is saying A LOT for me, someone so twitchy I can barely keep a colour on for 2 days.

OPI In The Cable Car-Pool Lane is from the A/W San Francisco collection. Don’t even get me started on this collection… it’s love!

Barry M Countess – Textured Nail Effects

Here is the second of five new Textured Effects from Barry M. The Royal Glitters Collection consists of: Princess, Countess, Majesty, Lady, and Duchess. This new collection is very similar in effect to OPI’s Liquid Sands and Zoya’s Pixie Dusts, which personally I much prefer to the first four Textured Effects Barry M released.

Today I am showing you Countess; a deep aubergine purple base filled with golden and rosy pink shimmers/glitters (I am never quite sure with the Textured Effects whether it’s shimmer or glitter!). Anyway, it’s super pretty, really vampy but with an attractive sparkle – it’s perfect for winter parties or a warm autumn outfit.
