NOTD and other :)



This is my current mani! 3 coats of China Glaze 'Aqua Baby'. There is a bottle pic on one of my earlier posts. and 2 coats of the miss sporty top coat. I'm pretty happy with it. i found it pretty much problem free to apply :).

Another fringe pic... although you can't see them very well i'm wearing my new Tarina Tarantino earrings. I'll have to put a proper picture of them in my next post

Heres another prague photo. It's the outside of the St Vitus Cathedral. Isn't it stunning!

Going to see Plan B in concert tonight.... i'm not one for rap music normally but i think he's really talented. wooooo!

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 :).

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...

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

NOTD and my vivienne westwood necklace.

I bought my vivienne westwood necklace when i was in leeds visiting my friend.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
£80 of beauty!



Bought a massive haul of Misa's recently and decided to paint my nails with no144 secrets.
it took quite a few coats to get it looking good (painting nails is not my specialty though)
very happy with how it looks though :).

apologies for any bad quality of photos as they were taken on my blackberry.
