NOTD and jac vanek


This is my current mani :). It's supposed to be spring and it's all miserable so i decided to do a brightly coloured mani to brighten up my day. That and i couldn't decide which colour to paint them. I found the yellow to be a bit of a pain to apply. The green went on like a dream. Each nail is 2 coats apart from the yellow which is 3 coats. Plus 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat.

As you can see i am still wearing my Jac Vanek bracelet. I totally love it. The only times i've taken it off since it's arrived is when i'm either washing up or in the bath.

Here are bottle pics of the polishes i used for my current mani, all Misas :).
from L-R: 145 Red Hot Mama, 135 Hanging with the girls, 182 Let's go Green, 194 Right here now no more later, 140 Double Date. One thing i love about misa polishes are the names :).



The 3 above pictures are photos from the Jac Vanek website, www.jacvanek.com . i just made another order since i'm totally in love with the bracelet that i already ordered. The shirt will be perfect for glastonbury festival this year :). I ordered the 3 things that there are pictures of. i'll have to take posing pictures of myself wearing them when they arrive :).

Ebay post :)


This is the pina colada body balm that i ordered from ebay. it's the pina coloda scent and it smells and tastes gorgeous! i only tested a bit out on my boyfriends hand but it gets his seal of aproval aswell. from first impressions i like it so much more than the cosmopolitan one!

This is the Urban Decay body powder menage a trois. they are only weeny... but as i'm building up my collection i don't mind. Especially as i think i was lucky to get a hold of them.
the flavours are cake, red hot, honey. Can't wait to test them out :).

This is Urban Decay special sauce in glisten. It came in the urban decay job lot that i ordered off ebay. i think it will be really nice on my eyelids with the right eyeshadow. i will put photos up when i've played about with it.

This is the Urban decay eyeshadow in shade stalker. I think it's really pretty. also came in the JL. will put swatches up when i've played with it.


This is the urban decay lube in a tube in shade Miami. also from the JL.

This is the Gingersnap Urban Decay body powder. i think it smells absolutly gorgeous. My boyfriend wasn't too keen... but i'm sure when i've worn it he'll change his mind :) (JL)


This was the last item in the JL it's the Urban decay perfume oil in 'Go'. my boyfriend really likes the smell. i'm not so sure. but i'll wear it around him and hopefully it'll grow on me :).

Got two lots of gig tickets aswell :).
Ellie Goulding that i won on ebay for June in the Sheperds Bush Empire. so so excited!!
and Dead Confederate at the Camden Barfly, also in June.
Gig fun is always good.... i fucking love going to see people live and i have over a hundred tickets to prove it LOL. need to have a proper count one day soon!

NOTD and other pictures :D


This is my current Mani... China Glaze Blue Sparrow. i bought it off ebay for £2.99 inc p&p. it's amazing! neon and glittery! everything i could want in a blue polish :). maybe it will last that my recent 2day max. in my defense of changing polish so often... i have so many new pretty polishes to try that i want to change as often as possible. it's 3 coats of blue sparrow and 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat.



This is my newest bottle of miss sporty polish... my dad bought it for me yesterday along with 2 bottles of their clear top coat. since it's still 3 for 2 i asked my dad to pick out a bottle of coloured polish since it was pointless not to and he picked this one out. good taste for a man :D!

This is one of my current loves! it's the G harajuku lovers perfume. it's the perfect thing for a dressing table since the bottle is adorable. my friend becca bought it for me for my birthday. it smells like coconut which i adore the smell of! I also love the fact that it's the limited edition snow bunnies bottle. i want to see what the other fragrances smell like since the little 10ml bottles are gorgeous!

This is a little tub of body butter that my mum got me for xmas. it smells really nice and is glittery. the photo below when enlarged does show that it is actually glittery. this is only a tiny tub because it came in a set with two others. i want to find a big tub of just this one as i love it. perfect for on the collarbones with the right top... and since it smells so good perfume isn't needed...

NOTD and other pictures :)


Firstly i wanted to include a picture of my compact mirror. Isn't it so cute! my boyfriend bought it for me from claire's :). i love it. i love hello kitty stuff and i take this pretty much everywhere i go :)

This is my other miss sporty polish! i like that it's glittery and girly and yet i can wear it when i temp in offices and things like that. plus it goes on amazingly! i totally reccomend miss sporty to everyone!

This is inside my Cherry Lemonade Urban Decay body powder. I couldn't smell cherry lemonade but i like it regardless. My boyfriend seemed to like it too :).


This is my current mani. It again went on amazingly... and i probably could have done it in one coat if i was better at applying it :P. it's quite a thick brush but i got used to it after a couple of nails. LOVE miss sporty polish!



This is my cosmopolitan body balm from Urban decay. I used it on my arm to test it out and wasn't majorly impressed.... didn't smell how i expected a cosmopolitan would... and while it tastes sweet it doesn't taste cosmopolitany... and application was weird... it came with a pad to apply it with.
i will use it and i have ordered the pina coloda one and i will also buy the mai tai one in the near future.
and maybe with a couple of uses the cosmo one will grow on me :)

Avon goodies :D and NOTD


These are my two new avon lipsticks. I love that they are heart shaped :D!
The corally coloured one is called kiss me. And the pinky coloured one is called be mine. There are swatches a couple of pictures below



This is another swatch of avon. It's an eyeliner in the shade 'Twilight Sparkle'. I love that it's glittery, it's what made me buy it :).



This is my current mani. 5 coats of 'pretty in pink' Misa shade 139 and 1 coat of clear. I like the colour of the polish but it was a bit of a nightmare to put on and needed lots of coats. i also feel it took longet to dry than other misa's that i have used.

Bottle pictures of my newest polishes


Here are a number of bottle pics of polishes i recently bought. the above one is £2 in primark. i like the shade of purple :). Never tried one of their polishes before but i'm a big fan of their makeup so i though i'd try it out. It's also UV but i have no way of testing that when i swatch it. Which i will soon

These are 3 miss sporty 'clubbing colours' and they are apparently quick dry. £3.98 for the 3 in Superdrug (buy two get one free). They do have names but the names aren't written on the bottle :(. I've used a miss sporty before and i was quite impressed with it. SO i look forward to trying these.

£2 from claire's. I do apologise for the terrible photo. Its actually a turquoise glitter in clear polish. I bought this because i'm a massive fan of greens. Plus i think in many occasions glitter topcoats work well.

These are both beauty uk. 99p each on a half price sale. The first one is called red. It's reddy pinky glitter and coloured glitter in clear from what i can tell. The second one is green with blue glitter in that doesn't show up in the photo.

Happy polishing times are ahead :)

NOTD, exciting post and shopping fun :)


This arrived in the post for me today. Cherry Lemonade edible body powder/glitter. Got it off ebay. Havent tried it yet but i'm really excited. hopefully my boyfriend will like it. If i like it i'll try and pick more up off ebay. It worked out at just over £3. So bargin!!

These are my two new River Island purchases.... Guns and Roses tshirt £19.99. I love vintage-y looking rock tshirts. so this makes me happy :). And this is my panda hat. £12.99. Katy Perry has this hat.. but in white... i preferred the brown though. Feels super soft and is nice and warm :)




Here are pictures of my Jac Vanek Bracelet. it arrived in the post today :). I think it's so cool! i must order a couple more! it was $9.99 with $6 shipping to the UK. i chose the love exists one because of the writing on it. I like the fact that i've only seen one in the UK before. My friend Charlotte has one of their tshirts and introduced me to the Jac Vanek website.






Above is my current mani. 3 coats of the vintage polish 29 'Blue Sea' and 1 coat of the clear with blue glitter stargazer. I liked the polish Blue sea on it's own but i wanted to add a little something extra and i found blue glitter worked with it really well
