Deborah Lippmann | SPRING REVERIES | Spring 2014

*PR Sample

Pastels make their mark just about every spring, and this year is certainly no different. Deborah Lippmann has released six fabulously opaque polishes in the Spring Reveries collection; all of which I'm dying to get my hands on! 

THOUGHTS: Rimmel Apocalips in 'Across the Universe'

 Since Rimmel's Release in early 2013, the Apocalips hadn't really crossed my mind until a few new shades were let loose around christmas. 'Across the Universe' immediately caught my eye, being a darker blue toned red. Not to mention the fact that I witnessed Susie from Hello October swoon over this particular shade just days before on both her Youtube channel and Blog. That alone lured me in to eventually caving. 

NOTD #9 : Snowflake Nails

I know it's a little late but I wanted to quickly get this up before christmas day as it is, of course, the festive-y manicure I shall be sporting tomorrow. I decided on this design after watching a tutorial from the lovely MissJenFabulous on youtube so if you fancy re-creating this then simply click the link and have a whirl. 

Also, excuse the ratchet looking cuticles, my hands have been dry to no end and absolutely nothing has been working! 

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas tomorrow! 

'Pretty In Pink' Lip Combination

Pink isn't a colour we typically associate with fall and winter, but the likes of Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith turned heads on the runway at fashion week when collections were attired with anything from edgy metallic pieces to tailored rosy hues. Though I do like to test my comfort zones often, I highly doubt you'll find me sporting an all pink get up this season. However, Make up is an aspect I can easily change up on a daily basis and so pink lips were clearly the way to go.

NOTD #4: Cobalt Blue - Dupe!

Miss Sporty Quick Dry Polish in 'Pop Fiction' (£1.99)

I know full well this shade isn't exactly the epitome of autumn but I can't fault it. If your looking for a perfect pop of colour to add to those dull fingertips, this is a polish you simply have to turn and feast your eyes at. 

For a £2 polish, I wasn't really expecting exceptional performance but it is in fact quite opaque with one coat; although I'm the type to do a once over with every polish, opaque or not. The brush is a wide width with a slight rounded tip to make for quick and easy application round the cuticle edge. Also the fact that it is a quick dry formula is perfect for if you are in a rush... or if you're like me and just plain lazy. 

I also find this shade to be quite the dupe for a bloggers favourite: Topshop's polish in 'AWOL' which is £5. So if you're lusting after that colour, I would highly recommend this as a cheaper alternative without sacrificing on quality. 

Any other polish dupes or shades you would recommend for fall, let me know! 

Dual Chrome Manicure

£7.99 (Boots)

In the past, my preference for polishes has always stirred me away from dual chrome shades for no particular reason. However, going into fall and with the change in colours, I figured that it would be the perfect opportunity to change up my selection to kick start the autumn season. 

Colours Of The Rainbow Tag

Browsing the beauty gurus on youtube, I've seen this Tag floating around for quite a while and I thought it was time for me to give it a go. Plus, I love Becky from 'TalkBeckyTalk' on youtube who originally made this tag!
