Primark Mini OPI Minnie Mouse Dupes

Remember OPI's Minnie Mouse collection? How about dupes at just £2 for 4 polishes?!

During my 18 polish spree in Newcastle last month, I was rather excited to find these super-cute nail polish minis in Primark. I had to have them. I also got another set, which I am about to try out.

The set includes 4 polishes: a bright Barbie pink, a shimmery darker pink, a reddish pink and a light pink glitter filled with hearts.

Primark's mini sets are a bargain, at only £2 for 4 polishes, you can't really go wrong. I never imagined they would be so good though, very impressed!

I decided to use all 4 polishes and created a lovely, cute look:

I will say, the hearts were a 'mare to apply! They just would not stay on the brush, so were difficult to get out. That is my only issue with the set.

Quick drying, with a great finish and just 2 coats used!

This is my second set of Primark mini polishes and both have been really really surprising in how good the polishes are, especially at such a bargain price.

£2 for 4 mini (6ml) polishes

Sunday Hauling

Evening All :)

Today I spent my afternoon shopping in Telford.

I didn't plan on buying anything but it seems when I go with my friend Aimee, I always come home with things!

Here's what I picked up today:

Skirt £12, Peplum top £8, Studded shoes £12, Tinkerbell Mitt £1, Slipper socks £1 - Primark.

Rise Against 'Endgame' and Young Guns 'Bones', 2 for £10 - HMV.

Yes, the skirt is a metallic gunmetal grey version of last years huge sell out black version of the faux leather pleated skirt, that every blogger and their nan most certainly seemed to own!

- I can see this being big news!

The top, I've wanted a peplum for so long and this shiny black/wet look one caught my eye. I love the 6 studs on it, adding to the rock chick edge.

The shoes, well, I've wanted nude shoes forever and these are studded - WIN. I don't really wear pointed or stiletto heeled shoes anymore but I love these.

The mitt and slipper socks, random buys.

The CD's, I have searched for Rise Against 'Endgame' so long! Just 2 more RA albums to get now (the very first 2!), I didn't know what CD to get for the 2 for £10, then spotted Young Guns 'Bones', so grabbed that as I've got into them recently and Gustav Wood is a babe.

Lots of nice new things, yay!

Here's some other fab findings of the day:

Before heading to Telford, I saw an email pop up in my Hotmail inbox from Lush Telford, about a VIP party for the launch of new haircare products, very exciting! Sadly, I missed the Emotional Brilliance launch party. So, I called Lush Telford, then headed in whilst in Telford and grabbed tickets for me and my sister :)

I'll be taking my camera phone along and getting some snaps to share with you all.

Very excited for next Friday evening!

Have you been hauling recently?

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I have had a great one, down to last night's lone gigging, Kids in Glass Houses.

Currently on a KIGH from that :)

Oh, such a cringer.

Weekend in Outfits #5

Hello lovelies

So this past weekend, I was lucky enough to have 4 whole blissful days off.

Friday I booked off work, I don't work weekends and Monday was Bank Holiday, joy!

I wanted to make the most out of my long weekend and fill it with funtimes :)

I decided to do another Weekend in Outfits post, to share with you all.

There's also NOTD's in here, as you all probably know by now, I love nail polish!

(This is a little pic/diary heavy...)

Friday: Town with Mum and sister

Friday was pretty chilled, headed in to town with mum and Donna. Had a little look round some shops, then got a Costa. Double Chocolate Creamy Cooler, yum.

Metallica top: And Finally at Topshop

Leggings: Primark

Spiked pumps: Primark (new, LOVE these!)

Wristbands: Download, Hard Rock Calling and my sister :)

Bag: Paul's Boutique

NOTD: Barry M Magnetics in Cosmic Glow

Saturday: Birmingham and Merry Hill

Saturday I was going to go to London but after much debate with myself, I decided to go to Birmingham, followed by Merry Hill Shopping Centre.

I went alone, as no-one seemed to want to do anything!

Had a great day :)

Did some shop browsing in the Bullring, then discovered The Square shopping centre, near the old Carling/O2 Academy, where my sister and I enjoyed many a gig in the past and lots of front row/all day queueing times! and meeting bands...and JARED LETO.

During my drive to Birmingham, rocking out to Kerrang Radio, they mentioned the Festival of Independents, which is currently on every weekend for a month or so. I decided to go check it out, in The Square. Micro-mini festival set up and a little stage with free live music. I stopped by and enjoyed the break from the rain, sat down and watched a really good band, Of Kings and Captains :)

I also discovered an amazing shop, The Oasis. Full of alternative fashion, vintage, tattoos, everything.

(It also appears to be where all the cute guys are at!)

I then had a nice walk around Digbeth, taking photos and exploring the cool graffiti, before heading to the Custard Factory, my old raving/stomping ground.

Oh, how I miss H.T.I.D Summer Gathering raves at the Custard Factory, raving until 6am, those were some of the best times!

Now, the Custard Factory houses a lot of shops, mostly vintage/retro - very cool.

After Birmingham, I took a drive to Merry Hill and did a little shopping there.

If you are ever in Birmingham, I recommend checking out The Oasis (in The Square) and the Custard Factory (in Digbeth) :)

Sunday: Road Trip: The Lone Adventurer Does North Wales

Sunday ended up being a totally crazy awesome day and night!

All by myself, again :)

Started off not knowing where to go/what to do.

Jumped in my car, started driving, considered driving to Reading and finding a ticket for the fest BUT figured that would be way too expensive.

Ended up going to Chirk, had a nice walk along the Aqueduct from Wales to England and back to Wales...

Drove to look at Chirk Castle...

Popped to Llangollen, had a little wander and grabbed a goats cheese tart for lunch...

Stopped by Chester for a quick walk round, taking snaps and went up on the clock bridge...

Then, the main event...

I went to check out the new graffiti (street art) on the Duke of Lancaster Funship in Llanerch-y-mor/Mostyn, North Wales. Amazing scenes!

I had one of those over-excited 'I CAN SEE THE SEA!!' moments to myself...

So decided to continue up North Wales coast...

Drove on to the beach in Talacre, mistake. Quickly reversed before getting stuck!...

Then visited Rhyl, where I got a Slush Puppie, had a walk and played on an arcade grabber...

I then decided to be crazy and drive 30 minutes further to Conwy...

Sadly just missed sunset but Conwy looked beautiful all lit up, it is a stunning place...

Had a walk round Conwy and grabbed some seaside chips...

Started to drive back, then went crazy and drove across to Llandudno...

 9:45pm, I parked up on Llandudno Prom and had a quick walk, taking in the moment...

I eventually drove 2 hours home, arriving home at Midnight.

That was a great road trip!

MTV crop: River Island

Black tunic vest: H&M

Leggings: Primark

Faux leather jacket: New Look

Boots: Asda

Bag: Paul's Boutique

NOTD: Barry M Magnetic Polish in Neptune Sea

Monday: Lazy Day

I woke up at 2pm, after a mammoth 12 hour sleep.

Went to the retail park, bought The Lucky One, as it had just been released, Helloooo Zac Efron.

I then got a Berry Hibiscus from Starbucks, yum.

and finally, I picked up my friend Burton and we went to visit our friend Jamie :)

Tee: Topshop (hand-me-down from sister due to her new skinniness!)

Maxi: Select

White pumps (not shown): Primark

So, there's my Weekend in Outfits.

I had a really good Bank Holiday weekend, despite spending the majority of it alone!

The likeliness of getting any of my friends to do anything that involves fun and getting out of town is highly unlikely, so I don't let that hold me back, I go ahead with my adventures :)

It's amazing how much fun it can be!

One of the best parts is being able to sing to your hearts content whilst driving, as loud and as bad as you wish!!

Hauling - More Shoes and More Nail Polish

So, I went hauling yesterday...

I got 6 nail polishes, not like I don't have millions of polishes but hey, a girl can never have TOO many nail polishes, right?

GOSH £4.99 each (3 for 2), Barry M Magnetics £4.99 (2 for £8), Burgundy Croc Effect £3.99
All Superdrug

Nail Art Set £1, Asda

£12, Primark. How amazing? I know every blogger will have these but I love them, very 'me'.

Love the mini spikes.

 So, 6 more nail polishes to add to my mahoosive collection.  I really need to get them all together, tidy and count them!

GOSH Holographic Hero is now available in Superdrug.  There's a 3 for 2 offer on GOSH, so I got 2 HH and Galaxy polish.  I have the original Hologram polish by GOSH but just had to get the new one, though it doesn't look as good on photos that I have seen online.  I will review it when I get round to trying mine.

Whilst I'm on the subject of nail polish, an addicts dream...

Models Own have just Tweeted about their new Mirrorball collection and OMAG...

In other news, it's BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!

I booked today off, so I have 4 beautiful days off, yay!

I was debating going to London today but didn't.  I went to town instead.  Then I decided I will drive to Manchester to stay over with my friend at her uni hall tonight but she is unwell, so looks like I'm not going, boo!

Hope you all have a great weekend :)
