Nailed It- Peach Melba surprise ;)

Just a quick post of my nails of the week :) The colours I chose were mentioned in my previous haul post.

I wore two colours, both by Barry M- Peach Melba and Black. What do you think?


I LOVE LOVE LOVE Peach Melba and LOVE the combination. I was just playing around with colours and taa-daa....I found it!!!

Oh and I also just do the same colour on all my nails, then use a glitter polish like Barry M Hologram on just one finger.

Hope you guys like it... And what are your favourite colour combinations?

Have a good week! :)

Shopaholic!

That is exactly what I AM becoming! 


The two most important things a girl needs after food and water are clothes and nail polish.
And I made sure that that is what I did! We always need necessities ;)


For clothes, I bought one of those smart blazers and two  simple tops all from H&M. I am really impressed with their Autumn/Fall clothing range, it is soo affordable, current and there are some beaut. pieces! 


Dorothy Perkins have a nice shoe collection and so I bought some flats for everyday. I got a black pair (which I did have to wear into and it HURT :( ) and a pointy tan-ish pair, which are really comfortable! :) They were like £16 each I think?! BARGAIN!!!




And I got a bit nail polish crazy!!! And really excited! LOL!
I had a few No7 vouchers (kindly given to me by my sister!) and thought that 'I can't let them go to waste' (LOL, any excuse to buy nail polish!) So, I purchased colours from their recent colour collection. Trust me I do not need ANY more nail polishes....I have soo many to use up, it is kind of becoming a joke... But sooo WHAT!!! :)


(L-R) Tangy, Jammy, Pinky Pure, Cheeky Chops, Peach Melba, Black, Hologram.

When I bought Pinky Pure 160 by No7 I thought, this won't suit me...but I am pleasantly surprised.. I think it looks okay. I feel a bit Barbie-ish but Barbie is cool, right?! :S This is what it looked like on (excuse the messy nail application!) I was soo excited to get this colour on!

FYI: No7 have changed the formula and brush for their nail polishes (for better!-thank God!) I was actually really impressed with the colour, application and how opaque it was. Well, there was one exception... Pinky Pure 160. It is a nice colour ( I love it!) but it was a nightmare to get on... It was streaky, quite watery and I had to put 2 thickish coats. It might just be my bottle... But do let me know if you had the same problem...


I also managed to get my hands on Barry M's Nail Paint in Hologram (No. 244). I was looking for this basically everywhere for months and I found it in my local Boots! *YAY*!!! I will be using this EVERYDAY!!! I really love it. But I did find it hard to get all the glitter specks on my nail evenly. Practice makes perfect! ;)


Ohhhhhhhh anddddd I almost FORGOT...I can't wait to watch Kim Kardashian's Wedding on E! tonight....waiting to watch this for ages!  ;) (yep, you got it right! I'm a reality TV/Kardashian whore!) Its on at 9pm!


Hope you are having a good weekend!

Nails: Barry M Nail Paint- Pink Flamingo

Well, summer is supposed to be here but typical England, the weather is weird! It's sunny, then raining then sunny. So, to cheer myself up I thought I would paint my nails to get into the summer swing (when it does eventually arrive!) and the colour I chose was one of my favourites- Barry M's 305- Pink Flamingo. I'm sure you have seen this colour like a million times, but I kind of forgot about it (whoops!) and when I found it, I HAD to wear it!



I love this polish firstly because the colour is sooo pigmented and bright- you don't really need two coats but I always slap 2 coats of every nail polish. Its easy to apply aswell.
I got this colour a year ago and they retail for about £3 and I got advantage points too ;) win, win, win!

Here is a picture with flash:


Without flash:


Its one of those colours that I can't really explain how it looks, but when you see it in person, you will LOVE it. It just amazing and so unique.

What do you guys think of Barry M?

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend :)
