Nails Inc. "Tate"

It was in my recent April favourites (here) and I love it so much that I thought it deserves its own special post. Plus, it's Friday so I can keep it on for 3 days!!! My school seriously sucks when it comes to "appearance" and what we can and can't wear. Does nail polish really affect our education? No.

Anyway, here's a few pictures of Nails Inc. in the shade "Tate"...

Keep in mind, that I only applied one coat! *gasp*

I'm going to be wearing this non-stop when summer comes around.

As for the price, it costs a pretty steep £11. I'd only buy expensive nail polish if it's a colour that I know I'd always enjoy wearing. You'd never see me buying a £10+ glitter or holographic nail polish because I know for a fact that I won't always like it. "Tate", however, is a whole different story. On the Nails Inc. website it's described as a "sophisticated" colour that brings any look together. I'm sure you could probably find a decent dupe, yet the quality of these polishes are indescribable (but I am going to try my best here). I only needed one coat to get a full, rich opaque colour which is fantastic. It applies so easily, almost as if it's a gel. Love, love, love! <3

Have you tried any Nails Inc. polishes? What are your favourites? I have literally just placed an order for the shade "Baker Street" - Beyonce's acclaimed favourite polish!

London's Westfield shopping haul

Hello everyone!

I literally just got back from Westfield shopping centre in London and I thought I'd show you what I picked up as, most of it, is interesting. I got some make-up items, art supplies, magazines and clothes :)

-

American Apparel opened up in the mall so I went in their first. I'm not a fan of their clothing per say but I did love their nail polishes. They were £7 each (ok, compared to OPI and Butter London) and some of the colours were really unique. I picked up this one in "Smoke Dazzle" as it remind me of a cheaper alternative to the Chanel Quartz polish.

Magazines were on my list of things-to-get. I picked up the latest InStyle with Drew Barrymore on the cover along with Company with Florence (and the Machine) on the front! I limited myself to only two as these magazines can be expensive - especially if you buy loads in one go like me!

Just before leaving I saw the MAC shop and had to go in. I didn't pick up anything from their Shop MAC, Cook MAC collection as I didn't want to spent too much money. Instead I picked up the things I needed. I got a new eyeliner sharpener (only £3!) and two new eyeliners. I picked up Fascinating Eye Kohl and Stubborn Brown Penultimate Eyeliner. I've tried Fascinating before and loved it, but I've never tried - or heard of - Stubborn Brown. I can't wait to try it!

Even though I didn't take art as a GCSE option, I'm really getting into sketching so I bought a small sketching pad and some pencils! If I like any of my drawings, I'll definitely show you guys!

The main reason why I went to Westfield in the first place was to get some new jeans! Whilst painting my dad's garage a few weeks back, I destroyed my dark blue Forever 21 jeans. I wasn't that fussed, they were only cheap and I was in need of a new pair anyway! I went into Levi's but didn't like any colours and also went into True Religion, and yet again didn't like any that I didn't have. So, I went into Gap and found these. They are dark, dark blue and are very stretchy. They are described as Jean Leggings and I can totally see why. I absolutely love them. As an added bonus, they were a quite reasonable price!

Also from Gap I picked up a t-shirt but I forgot to take pics!

Anyway, that was all I purchased. Me and my mum also went into the Apple store and preordered the new iPad for my Dad's birthday next month which was exciting. I have also just ordered a present for my mum for Mothers Day next Sunday - I hope she likes it!

I hope you're all having a great day.

Neal's Yard Remedies at Covent Garden

DOUBLE BLOG POST TODAY! Aren't you lucky.

I wanted to tell you and my new favourite face moisturiser, thanks to Marie Clare magazine. In their last issue, free with the magazine came a daily moisturiser. 

Neal's Yard Remedies Rehydrating Rose Daily Moisture.

It claims that it nurtures and replenishes normal skin and keeps skin in perfect balance.

Let's get one thing straight, I have combination/oily skin, so I expected this product to suck. However, I tried it anyway, and after the first application, I absolutely loved it. I have found that the smallest amount lasts all day and leaves my face so soft.

Get it here: Neal's Yard Covent Garden

I hope you liked today's reviews - the reason why I've done an extra long post today is that I don't think I'll have the the time to blog this week due to exams and school reasons - I'm also doing a sport event on Tuesday. I'll be back with more blog posts next Saturday, for sure.

Thank you!

OPI Love Me Tender

Hi there <3

Today's post is about nails (well, most of it)! Before I have to take it off for school tomorrow I thought I'd take a few pics and talk about my current favourite nail polish.

For weeks now, I've been using an OPI polish called My Private Jet. It's a deep grey with hints of burgundy and purple shimmer. One coat and it's a sheer dark grey yet after applying two coats generously the colour changes to a pearlescent purple. It's amazing! (Google search for some pictures; I can't find any of mine at the moment.) Every weekend for as long as I can remember I've been using this, so I decided for a change.

Looking through my collection of OPI's I rediscovered an old favourite of mine...

Love Me Tender is such a simple yet gorgeous colour I decided to paint my nails with it. Its coral pink colour with tiny gold specks make me love it even more than before. The colour looks different with flash and normal lighting so bare that it mind. I would definitely recommend this!

Here are some extra (pointless) pictures for your viewing pleasure:

Sorry for the rubbish picture quality, the flash wasn't working! Anyway, you have to agree it is such a pretty colour. 

I've just spent the last 5 minutes looking for a stockist that sells this polish - I purchased mine from eBay last year - and I can't find any. The only ones I have found are from China or Australia which isn't helpful. Sorry! For other OPI nail polishes check out Asos and BeautyBay - they have a huge selection!

Thanks for reading!
