Weekend in Pictures :)

Hey all :)

Tonight's post is just a general post of my weekend, outfits, nails etc :)

Friday night I had another night in! Not quite Rock 'n' Roll.

Saturday: Shopping at Westfield, Merry Hill

Sunday: Bedroom Clear-out (Continued!)

& Afternoon drive to Llangollen

So, bed shifted across, this is the most carpet I have been able to see in a very long time! After 12 years the lilac carpet is now gone, ready for my laminate to go down :) Also, I told Mum I would find use for all the pretty pink ribbon from Lush gift boxes and other gifts...tied my curtains up :)

My Barbie alarm, which Dad discovered the batteries have leaked acid all inside :-( That would explain why it hasn't worked in a while!

Love this!

Silly pose but I was trying to show the Barry M Gold Foil ;-)

Clip (part of 2-pack): Boots(?)

So here is Barry M Instant Nail Effects Gold Foil in daylight :)

Ring: Boots

Vest: Primark

Maxi Skirt: Select

Cardi: Primark

Fruit muffin in Llangollen, yum!

Hope you all had a good weekend :)

New Nail Candy: 17 A Woman Scorned, 17 Magnetized & Barry M Nail Effects Foil

Second post of the day :)

So, during today's shopping trip I was overly excited to have found both Barry M's Nail Effects Foil AND 17 Magnetized!! I picked up both of these, along with 2 nail varnishes from 17's new collection, A Woman Scorned.

Boots 3 for 2 :)

Fast Finish £2.99 each & Magnetized £5.99, but 1 of the FF's were FREE, yay.

Fast Finish 'Sulk' & 'Revenge' (A Woman Scorned)

Magnetized 'Blue'

Magnetized - 2 nails done, 1 in process of being painted before the magic happens :)

After the magic.

Magnetizing in progress.

I found it difficult to get a good photo, as the flash kept reflecting on my nails!

Pretty cool :)

Review:

The Fast Finish nail varnishes lived up to their name, Fast Finish. I am IN LOVE with Sulk, it is a gorgeous colour! However, I am not so keen on Revenge, it has a nice glitter in it but I am not overly excited by the colour. They apply smoothly and are not streaky, leaving a great finish.

Magnetized, well...where do I start? I love how this works and looks, and the colour is lovely. I did struggle with the whole thing though, which I imagine will improve in time! The problem was that you have to paint a nail, then put the lid back on, then hover the separate magnet (which can be removed from lid) over the nail before it dries so that the magic can happen. My sister ended up doing most of my nails. My main problem was that I kept touching my wet nail with the magnet, meaning the varnish got on the magnet, which will not come off, and I have made matters worse by trying to remove with nail varnish remover! See below.

Damaged magnet :-(

All my new nail varnishes :)

Sulk, Revenge & Gold Foil 

I also picked up the little information card for the A Woman Scorned collection, just because.

Barry M Nail Effects Foil in Gold:

£3.99 from Superdrug

This was difficult to photograph due to the shine and camera flash!

Review:

The Barry M Nail Effects Foil is smooth to apply and a lovely gold, though I am not sure on the 'foil effect', in comparison to a normal gold varnish I don't think there is a lot of difference.

I would recommend all of the above, in consideration of my comments. Though I would not buy the Fast Finish 'Revenge' again, just because I am not keen on the colour. I shall give the Magnetized another try again soon to see if I can have more luck second time round :)

There are also 3 other colours in the Magnetized collection: Gun Metal, Lilac and Teal, 1 other colour in the A Woman Scorned collection, Fury and a silver Barry M Nail Effects Foil.

Do you have any of the nail varnishes above? Or will you buy them now?

I hope my post gives you a good insight into these nail varnishes :)

A Sunny Saturday Haul

Hey girlies :)

I am going to avoid writing a lot in this post, as it is quite photo heavy!

Today I went shopping at Merry Hill, I got a few things, and also saw lots I wanted (some of which is below!).

I will follow on from this post with a post on my new nail varnishes ;-)

Superdrug:

Mint Carmex, £1.27 (Half Price)

Barry M Nail Effects Foil (I finally found one!), £3.99

Garnier Eye Make-up Remover, £1.50 (Half Price)

Garnier Mineral Roll-on Deodorant, 89p (Half Price)

Garnier invisimineral Spray Deodorant, 95p (Half Price) 

Half Price Garnier

I have tried this stuff and it is good, moisturising and not sticky! Though the minty smell and taste is very strong. I think that the strawberry or cherry flavour would be best.

3 for 2 on 17 nail varnishes :) and I found the Magnetized ones, woo!

I got the maxi skirt that I wanted :)

£25, River Island (as mentioned in a previous post)

Yes, the weather is currently hot and sunny, but I couldn't resist this for when the cold comes!

£12, Primark

And now for some snaps of a few things that I saw today and want :) But resisted buying!

I want a lot from Lush! Including the Candy Cane soap (front table), Northern Lights soap (neon one on same table) and not in this photo, Pow Wow lip scrub - bright green in colour, lovely smell and made from popping candy!!!

Soul Cal Boots, £29.99 from Republic

Boots with sheepskin style lining, £19.99 from New Look

Zebra dress, £39.99 Idol at New Look

Tunic, £17.99 from New Look

£20 from River Island

£15 from River Island

I saw a few other things I wanted too, but didn't get photos!

Up next, nail varnish post...
