NAILS: Newest Additions To My Glitter Collection

What girl doesn't love glitter nail polish?

I have recently added another 5 glittery polishes to my collection, and here they are...

Precious Gems

£4.50, River Island

Twinkie

£6, Urban Outfitters

(I would not recommend this, as sadly the stars are difficult to pick up on the brush and start to stick up on the points, becoming sharp and ending up curling up pretty bad! It was worth a try, sadly disappointed though.)

Magnetic

£2.50, Angelica @ Primark

and then, of course, there is my AH-Mazing Models Own Hedkandi glitters...

Ibiza Mix and Disco Heaven

£5 each from Boots (Boots currently have a 2 for £8 on MO, FYI!)

Also available from Models Own online.

The purple which I am wearing is Holiday Fun, from the Angelica collection at Primark, as mentioned here :)

Are you a fan of glitter polishes?

What is your favourite?

I have a load more and plan to do a nail polish collection post at some point, when I get round to finding and gathering all my polishes together :)

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:

Nail Polish in Twinkie £6

(Review on this soon! On first try I would not recommend, sadly! But I am going to give it a second chance...)

Selfridges:

MAC Creme Cup Lipstick £13.50

- I actually bought a MAC lipstick that isn't a Limited Edition/Collection one!

Yes, another MAC lipstick :)

HMV:

Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' CD £10

- Review Here. 

River Island:

NYX Nail Polish (yes, more nail polish!) in NPS139 Precious Gems £4.50

and I just HAD to have this when I saw it...

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 :)

(This post was live an hour or so ago, but I forgot my River Island purchases so had to edit!)

Boxing Day & Post Christmas Sales Hauls :)

It's finally here! My Boxing Day & Post Christmas Sale Haul post :)

I planned to get this up last week but have been so busy recently!

So, Boxing Day I was up and getting ready just before 5:30am, no...not for the Next sale, but to drive 1 and a half hours up North to Manchester for the sales with my sister!

It was dark, I was tired after only 2 hours sleep the night before and 1 hour on Christmas Eve (clearly too excited to sleep!) but excitement soon kicked in and I was wide awake and hyper :)

After leaving a bit later than planned, we arrived in Manchester just after 8am.

Here's me, excited on route to Selfridges :)

and here is my car boot a few hours later, we had a great day!

We had to head back to the car just before lunch to drop off our bags as we couldn't handle carrying things around any longer (especially the heavy perfume sets!). I said 'no more spending' after that, which I stuck to, not buying anything else...except for another Lush haul (third of the day, oops!)

I had my little Disney Princess notepad and pen in my bag, with the list of what I was looking to buy. See, I was good in that sense, I planned what I was going to buy and only things that I really wanted, once again except for the Lush hauls, for which my notepad just said 'Lush...LOADS!' :) Obsession?

Anyway, on to the actual haul...

Manchester Boxing Day Haul:

Selfridges:

Vera Wang Princess £24 from £47

Vivienne Westwood Naughty Alice £27 from £53

Lush:

(I will do a separate post on the actual products I purchased!):

Boots:

Soap & Glory The Bright Stuff £17.50 from £35! All we could find were TONS of the Yum at Heart set BUT, then I spotted a woman with this in her hand, clearly unsure whether to buy it...she then put it down and IT WAS MINE! :) I wanted this one, as I always wanted to try Wish Upon a Jar (which Donna recently paid £15 for alone!)

Minnie Mouse Scrub £1.75 from £3.50 - just cute!! 

Soap & Glory Scrub 'em and Leave 'em Mini (not in sale, just wanted for ages!) £2.35

Barry M Croc Effect Nail Effects (not in sale, but been searching for ages and found 1 left!) £3.99

Then these 2 I paid for with Boots Advantage Points, meaning they were FREEEE, thanks Boots!

Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Style Loving Hair Kit £7.50 from £15 (mainly wanted this for the clutch bag!)

Umberto Giannini Mini Glamourising Beauty Essentials £5 from £10

Accessorize:

 This wasn't on my list but was just really cute!

£4.50 from £9

Urban Outfitters:

Let's Party Pirate Tee £15 from £32

Wanted this when I saw it in Birmingham months ago, love the quirkiness and tie-dye :)

That is it for my Manchester haul :)

As mentioned, I will post about my Lush hauls in more depth this weekend!

Next up, a few days after Boxing Day, Donna and I went to Telford.

I didn't plan on buying anything due to my almost non-existant funds BUT couldn't resist a visit to Lush and a little temptation in Boots...

Telford Haul:

  

Lush:

 50% off at Lush :)

Boots:

17 Peep Show Mascara and free eye palette £5.29. See post and more photos here. Review and swatches to follow very soon.

Hometown Haul:

The next day I popped in to town with my mum and sister. I still hadn't found the MTV top that I was searching the sales for and when I walked in to River Island, there it was! One left, right in front of the doors!!

I also got a couple of other things, a Yankee candle, which I really wanted and a bag, which was an impulse purchase!

River Island:

MTV top £12 from £22

Bag £12 from £25(?)

Inside the bag

Lovely design!

 Amazing smell!

£7.99 from £15.99

So, now I am skint and in slight regret over my hauling but I got some nice things, most of which were planned to be bought.

Did you go crazy in the sales?

Also...'Celebrity Big Brother' has started tonight, like the last one wasn't so long ago!

Another bunch of Z listers getting paid hundreds of thousands to 'entertain' us.

Hugh Hefner's twin ex-girlfriends...celebrity? Anyone in the UK actually heard of them before?

and Frankie Cocozza...don't even get me started on him!

Natalie Cassidy is one of the most known in there for actually working, rather than being a 'celeb' for causing controversy and being in the papers! I must say, she seems genuine and I'm loving how well she has taken on BB's task :)

Are you watching? Find yourself asking why? Opinions?
*Rant over*
