MONTHLY FAVOURITES : February



I always seem to forget how fast the month of february goes, and before you know it, I'm conjuring up my list of products that make the cut for the months favourites. This month has revolved around looking put together with minimal effort required, and boy have I mastered that technique these 4 weeks.

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!

AUTUMN PICKS: Nails



Hey there lovely people, Hope you're all having a nice week :) Anyways, I thought I would just quickly share a few of my favourite fall polishes. As stated in my 'Autumn Post'  I do lean towards both opposite ends of the spectrum, either a sophisticated nude or a more vamped burgundy.

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.

Seche Vite VS Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat (DUPE)




Nail polish will forever hold a special place in my dear heart.It is of course, what introduced me to the wondrous world that is beauty . Seche Vite was a product that I would continuously contemplate on purchasing, being a tad on the pricey side for a clear top coat. However, pondering on the FeelUnique summer sales, the offer of £8 caught my attention and so I quickly snatched it up. Deciding that it was something that I would eventually want to try and cave on anyway. 
Seeing as though my previous 'Beauty battle off' post had proven quite popular I thought you all would find this equally as useful.

My Nail Discovery




Oh my good gosh and all things holy. I know I'm a tad late on the band wagon but I don't think you will ever see a nail polish remover bottle rolling around my room ever again! These absolute beauties are a little piece of heaven in pink tub. I know Bourjois have released the same concept but paying £4.99 for a lump of acetone soaked sponge is a tad extortionate for a 17 Year old with minimal income. This however was found at BodyCare (in the UK) for the oh so lovely price of £1. It has the exact same concept and you literally just do as it says on the tin...or tub. Just twirl your finger in the sponge for a few seconds and voilĂ !
