Nail Polish Mania - Barry M, Maybelline & Top Shop

I'm a major nail polish fan. I genuinely cannot resist a pretty polish or a new 'effect' nail polish. I'm a sucker for glitters and gems. Here are a few of my latest favourites... This polish is from Top Shop and is called Adrenalin. It's the prettiest 3D glitter ever with a predominantly pink colour. It's £6 which is quite expensive, but this colour really needs to be seen to be believed! Here is the polish over a peachy shade from Seché....

Maybelline Shooting Stars Polka Dots Color Show Nail Polish

When I first saw this collection of nail polishes I fell instantly in love. They looked so interesting in the bottle and I couldn't wait to get them on my nails. Today I'll be showing you Shooting Stars, a gorgeous blue somewhat transparent polish with white and black matt glitters in it. I love the depth of these polishes and no, they're not actually textured.  *WITH FLASH* *IN NATURAL LIGHT* Sadly, this is how my nails looked...

How I style Wrestling / Band t-shirts

I'm a big wearer of wrestling and band t-shirts and I have been since I was young. As I've grown older I've never grown out of the love of a good t-shirt with my favourite wrestlers name on it. It comes with a dilemma though.. how on earth do you style these blocky t-shirts without looking totally manly. For the longest time I was wearing these t-shirts with jeans, but I never felt anything but 'slouchy', but recently I discovered a way to make them...

Cyber Candy Goodies

I made my first ever order from Cyber Candy last week and it arrived today. It did take over a week to arrive which isn't ideal, but at least it got here! For some reason I was expecting it to turn up in a jiffy bag, but instead it turned up in this rather nice box.  I love this little.. cyber candy man(?) on the side of the box. In side the box are these Styrofoam pastel bits to keep your items safe. And there are my goodies!...

First day test - Seventeen On The Spot Foundation

When I spied this on the shelves of Boots I was intrigued. I've been wanting to try a foundation that helps heal blemishes for a long time, but most of them are far too expensive. So when I saw this one I knew I had to give it a go. It claims to give a clearer complexion in four weeks. I snapped this up at £4.99, I believe it was on offer. I got the lightest shade 'Porcelain'. It boasts SPF 15 and claims to be full coverage. But how well does...

Simply Be Military Print Jacket

Over the bank holiday weekend I got sent an email from Simply Be saying it was free delivery for a couple of days. Naturally I decided to have a gander at their website. I spied this little gem on their sale page for £21.50 reduced from £40. I ordered it and it arrived really quickly, as always with Simply Be orders. It's a really nice midweight military jacket. It's cinched a little at the waist, making the jacket hang a little more flattering...

Yours Clothing Black & White Word Print T-shirt Midi Dress

  Today I'll be talking about the Yours Clothing Black & White Word Print T-shirt Midi Dress. I got this a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe how cheap it was. I got it for £23 from the Yours store in Meadowhall. I tried it on in their changing rooms and fell instantly in love. It's very flattering around the boob area if you have big 'uns like myself. It's a gorgeous length, laying somewhere just bellow my knees. I don't have...

Maybelline Color Show Chalk Dust vs Loreal Paris Confetti Top Coat

Ever have that thing where you've been waiting for a certain type of nail polish for what seems like forever and then two come along at once? Well, let me introduce you to Loreal's Confetti Top Coat (on the right). I picked this up a couple of months ago from Boots for £3.99. It's a clear polish with small and large specks of black and white. Then there comes Maybelline's Color Show Polka Dots in the shade Chalk Dust. It's also a clear polish...

Plus size fashion - George Pop Art and Tie Dye

There are some genuinely lovely pieces going on in Asda at the moment. If you're anything like me you'll find yourself a little bored with George at Asda all year 'round apart from summer. Summer is a completely different matter. Their designs get a lot more 'me' and I just can't help myself! I couldn't resist this tie dye thin jumper. It's quite baggy and hangs lovely. £10. Here is a lovely Pop Art inspired polka dot t-shirt. It was a...

A Coke With Your Name On It

Who's have thought you could get a beverage with your name written on it without taking some Tipex to it yourself? But Coca Cola have taken it upon themselves to adorn their bottles with 150 of the most popular names in the UK, possibly the world.  With there being a large variety of names you'd imagine that finding your own name would be quite difficult and it appears that it is. I've lost count of the number of Facebook posts I've seen...

Glossybox UK - May 2013 2nd Birthday Box

I was really excited about the 2nd Birthday box from Glossybox. Usually the birthday boxes are out of this world, packed with fun goodies and full size items. Imagine my disappointment when I received my box and found there were zero full size items and several I won't even use. Here are the contents of my box - The best item is the Genechy mascara sample, or so I thought until I opened it and saw just how tiny the sample actually was. Usually...
