Casual oufit that I wore New Years Eve, Eve and my New Years nails

Such a plain and casual oufit but I was just having a lazy day!

 

Nails - No7 Damson Dream

 

 

My boyfriend had lit candles in his bedroom for when I arrived at his house (I think that was him being romantic), he knows I love candles.

My perfumes that I bought in Sepohora in New York. (Just thought I would add these in here)  I have never owned either of these perfumes before but they were both on my wishlist so I bought 'Ralph Lauren Pony Collection #2' in the 30ml bottle and then 'Vera Wang Lovestruck in the rollerball pen, handy for my handbag.          

 

Some of my Christmas presents

-Pilgrim jewellery (heart earrings with matching bracelet)

-OPI NYC Ballet mini nail varnish set

-No7 make up set (I was bought some nail varnish's as a gift and this came free). It contained a full size lipstick, eye shadow, eye liner and mini mascara.

-PIXY cosmetics gift set (2 bath bombs, soap and a honey balm)

 

Some more of my Christmas presents.

A gorgeous bag full of Soap and Glory products. I love the body scrub and cleanser and I have yet to try a few of the other products that I have never used before. Santy also put this gorgeous Essence Gingerbread Chai Latte hand balm in my stocking, very festive and smells yummy too!

 

So thats just a few pictures from my Christmas/New Years including a few of the presents I received. I love all of my presents and I am so grateful for them all! I know this post is a bit late up but better late then never I suppose.

Nails of the week !

So the last few weeks I've been mad about green and blue nails. My nails are in really bad condition at the moment and keep chipping and breaking so Im not going to paint them for a week or two so I can get them back to better condition. These are just two of my recent favourites! :) Enjoy !

My first favourite is Rimmels 60 second nail polish in the shade "819 Green with Envy". I never use Rimmel nail polishes but this is a recent purchase and I definately will be investing in some more of Rimmels oh so affordable nail polishes. I applied two coats and then a top coat of this but even after just one coat the colour was perfect. The colour lasted a good 2 days before it started to chip which is good for me as my nail polish always chips really easily! The colour is gorgeous, it looks more blue at first glance but when you look properly its more of an emerald green/teal depending on the lighting. I paid 4.95euro for this, well worth it !

 Nubar nail polish in the shade "Mali-Blue" - just under 9euro.


Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper in the shade "10 Glorious Aquarius" - 2.95euro

 

                                                                                                                                                          

For this look I use the two above nail polishes! First I used a base coat, then the Nubar nail polish then the Essence topper and then a clear topcoat. It took about 3 or 4 days for this to chip, I found it lasted really well. I LOVED this look and thought it looked really nice on. I dont like tacky looking nails and at first I wast so sure about the glitter top coat but because the pieces of glitter were slightly bigger then usual glitter I actually liked the glitter. It took 3 coats of the Nubar nail polish before it came out the bright blue that it did but that would be the only little fault, apart from that I loved the Nubar nail polish and they also have a great range of other lovely colours I would like to try out. (You can buy Nubar nail polish on www.beautybay.com)
