Revlon Girly Nail Polish

Yes, I've bought another nail polish.

On Saturday, I went to Birmingham with my work friend, Erika. I'll be honest, we made the 1 hour journey to Birmingham, mainly to admire Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond The Pines! (which was great, btw) Birmingham was the nearest showing, shocking. We'd already been sad about missing Zac Efron in The Paperboy, due to there being NO showings anywhere near Shropshire...

So, we decided to make a day of it! We had a lush lunch at Revs on Broad Street, then watched the film, before heading to the Bullring for some shop browsing. I was very good and resisted breaking in to my savings to buy anything, only purchasing Revlon's Girly nail polish, as a little treat. I'd wanted it for a while and when I saw £2 off, I couldn't resist.

Girly is a gorgeous, well, girly, pink/lilac base with different shades and sizes of glitter.

I used 2 coats.

1 was a little too sheer, the base colour didn't really show.

A second coat added that extra colour and glitter.

This would be nice layered over a lilac or pale pink polish.

Removal was awful, as expected from such a glitter-filled polish. (A lot of effort when I'd only had it on my nails for just 24 hours! - I removed it to try out another recently purchased polish.)

This is my first Revlon polish but there are more that I have lusted after for a while, I just never buy from Revlon, not sure why...

Currently on offer, £2 off at Boots, priced at £4.49

Have you tried Revlon nail polish? What is your favourite?

Birmingham Haul

Hello Lovelies :)

A few weeks ago I went to Birmingham for a Thursday night away with my friend. Jo.

We planned to go check out the Selfridges Girls Night In event, but it didn't seem to be on :-( No treatments, no champagne and no cupcakes!

Anyway, we had a shop, ate a Nando's, then had a girly night out, followed by a little more shopping/browsing the following day.

We had fun :)

I treated myself to a few bits whilst in Birmingham...

Primark:

Excuse edge of bed!

My Little Pony Tee £6

Neon Yellow Top £5

Car Print Crop £6

You can see how I style the MLP and neon tops here :)

Nail Polishes in Holiday Fun (neon purple) and Magnetic (silver/rainbow glitter) £2.50 each

- I saw these on Lucy's blog a while ago and was excited to find the Angelica stand in Birmingham Primark :) So much choice! I have yet to use these, as I kinda forgot about them...I just got them out the bag and the purple was drying up :-/ So we'll see how they are and I'll report back to you all!

Urban Outfitters:

Mermaid blouse £25
I LOVE all things mermaid and this is beautiful!

I also picked up some random bits from the Spar!

Kerrang, just because.

Rainbow Drops, going back to childhood!

and WKD, going back to the early drinking days...hey, we needed some cheap pre-drinks!

I may aswell add this here, as it's not had a post to fit in to...

I got this blouse from Asda a few weeks back, just before Birmingham.

I saw it weeks earlier but wasn't 100% sure but waiting paid off, reduced to £5, had to get it!

Mum said she was horrified when she saw it hanging in my room but liked it on.

Here's how I styled it :)

I also picked up some of my usual purple hair dye, even though I'm still not decided on re-doing the purple yet...but it was on offer at £2.79 in Superdrug. The dye which I use is Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL 46 Cyber Purple. When my hair is dyed it looks something like this...

Not the faded out colour that it currently is!

But I am stuck on what to do...

Purple again, back to blonde, red, brown, ???

Help...

I still need to catch up on the lovely comments left on my previous posts but am currently in a rush to get ready for Lostprophets gig in Birmingham later! Well, I say later, Kelly is going to be at mine in 30 mins, AHHH!! Will catch up on comments tomorrow :)

Good Afternoon :)

I haven't got time to do a proper post today, lame, I know! I am about to enter a complete panic-rush in prep for tonight's gig in Birmingham! I'm leaving to drive there in approx 2 hours 40 mins and am still stuck between 2 outfits and I am currently feeling pretty crap too :-(

But still, I'm going to see Kids in Glass Houses!!!!

Woo!

This will be the 8th or 9th time...9th I think, that I have seen them and I still get excited every time <3

You Me at Six + Kids in Glass Houses + Mayday Parade + The Skints

Anyway, I have SO SO much to post, as always! I've done some naughty shopping recently and spent some of my funds which were supposed to be for my Birmingham trip next week...

So lots to share :)
