Nicole by O.P.I- Hello World





  Ok, so I have heard so many good things about O.P.I nail varnishes and I have always wanted to own a few, however I haven't ever been able to bring myself to spend £11.50 on a nail varnish. So when superdrug launched the Nicole by O.P.I range for £7.99 and then put them on 3 for 2 I just could not resist. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 were presents, but I did pick myself up one in this beautiful coral shade- Hello World.
  I have had this colour on for a few days now and I am really impressed with how little it has chipped, I was less impressed with how many coats I had to do. I had to do 4 coats with this nail varnish as the colour just wasn't going on as fully and vivid as I had expected.I don't know if this is an issue with all O.P.I nail varnishes, or just this particular branch. Luckily the nail varnish seemed to dry extremely quickly though so it didn't end up taking me as long as you'd think. The brush was very easy to use, and the polish went on smoothly.
  Overall I am impressed with this polish and I am definitely considering treating myself to more of the colours from this range.

Have you tried any polishes from the O.P.I ranges?

Sunshine and Shades







Pinafore- Topshop
Shirt-Vintage (via gladrags)
Shoes- schuh 
Sunglasses- Gladrags
Earrings- Newlook

 Just a few snaps of me making the most out of the lovely sun that we have had, we all know that it won't be lasting for long. Between working I have only managed to sunbathe for an hour, however I have managed to get myself a few tan lines! How impressive?
  I love this pinafore, it's really comfortable because it's made out of a nice, stretchy denim material. I also think that the buttons on it make it just that little bit cuter. If it was warmer today then I would have probably put a crop top on underneath or a short sleeved t-shirt. I decided to pair it with my all time favourite blouse instead to add some warmth and colour :).

 Also, you guys should really check out Gladrags, they are a one off boutique in coventry, however they have opened up an online store for all of you lucky ladies that can't get to the boutique. They stock the latest trends including; vintage items, Elsie and fred, motel, levi and loads of other great stuff too! It's really worth a gander :). Happy shopping! 

What are your favourite sunny outfits?

All gone!



Batiste Dry Shampoo- I really loved receiving this little product, it was so handy to take away with me and it's amazing at making your hair look as fresh as a daisy. It was really quick and easy, and didn't leave me with white hair :). I can happily say that I have gone on to buy the big version of this. 

MAC Studio Fix £20.50- I wasn't as impressed with this product as I was hoping that I would be. I simply continued to use it as I didn't want it to go to waste. I decided to use it as a finishing powder rather than a foundation because I have pretty bad skin right now and need quite a full coverage. I just feel that there are a lot of products out there that are as equally as good for a lower pride. I won't be re-buying.

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer £17.50- I love this! By far the best concealer that I have ever used. Gives a really full, matte coverage and it actually stays in place. It's really easy to blend alone or with foundation. A bit on the pricey side, however im willing to pay that for such a good product. I re-bought this before running out! Just to be on the safe side.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eye Primer Sample (full size £20.50) - I like this product as it does what it says and is the only eye primer that I have found that can be used for under eye as well. It keeps everything where it should be and makes your eye makeup last. It is quite expensive though so I am definitely going to be looking for a cheaper alternative before jumping in to buy the full size product

Benefit They're Real Mascara £19.50 - Check out my full product review here. I love this mascara even though my bank doesn't. I'm pretty picky when it comes to mascaras, this is the only one that I have found that successfully volumizes, curls and separates my lashes. Im currently on my third one!

Boots Botanics Make-up Remover £4.00 - I love both this product and the price tag that it comes with. It's brilliant at removing even the most stubborn makeup without leaving your skin feeling sore. It doesn't leave skin feeling oily either. It's great! I would be re-buying however boots have launched a new version that I have unfortunately heard only bad things about :(. 

What products do you find yourself always re-buying?
