NOTD - Primark Nail Foils

When i saw these in Primark i just couldnt resist, and the fact they were a £1 just made them all the more appealing - i mean i really had nothing to lose did i ?

They were the easiest things ever to put on, you simple find one that fits your nail, stick it on and file the excess off. Simples. They look amazing, and everywhere i went people were complimenting them!

The only problem is they chip SO easily. These lasted 2 days maximum before i had to take them off. To test things out when i applied them, i put a top coat on one hand, but it really made no difference.

Overall, i will definitely repurchase these, however ill only put them on for a particular event, as they don't really last making it pointless to put them on for the average day. I really recommend these, but id get there quick, they're never in stock for long!

NOTD - A Dotty Ciate !

Todays NOTD is Ciate (shade Bon Bon) which was free with this months Marie Claire (which wasn't filled with adverts like they usually are when you get a really good free gift!)

The simple nude with a hint of lilac is a really lovely colour which is very versatile, but i wanted a little extra something to brighten it up - and the pink goes really well ! 

The nail art pen was part of a huge set off ebay.

This polish doesn't have huge staying power, and lasted just 2 days before chipping. While I'm happy i received this for free, i don't think they're worth £11 - although i do have my eye on Jellybean from this brand!

Collective Haul

This haul is wayyyyyy overdue, but I've basically had some important deadlines for university, had to quit my job, and try and get everything organised, so its been a bit hectic the past few weeks!

These are my new love. They are £4.99 each, and they are the best thing ever! Ive already done a post using Magnetic Blue, but there will be many more to come !

These are stunning, the silvery lilac reminds me of a mermaid, its got so many colours in it, and although i wouldn't say its a typical spring colour, i can't wait to wear this and differ from the usual pastels you see at this time of year.

Denim has so much glitter in it, i can't wait to see if it appears the same on my nails!

Im currently trying to find an eye primer that compares to Lemonaid by Benefit, so when i saw this for £1.49 i couldn't resist! This was from Boyes.

I initially went into Boots to purchase the Maybeline Colour Tattoos every man and his dog are raving about, but that didn't quite go to plan! The 17 stand was right next to Maybeline, and seeing the 17 Wild Metallics Eyes in a realllyyyy similar colour (and a cheaper price) i opted for this. And seen as 17 were on 3 for 2, i couldn't resist picking up 3 things! 

These little nail art stickers were around £1, for 10 of these little sheets, each with different stickers! I got these off Ebay, and I've already tried some, so expect a post very soon! 

Ive been watching numerous videos and posts about Ciate nails and their new collection, but i just cannot afford £18 for some little beads. There are so many tutorials on YouTube, and one i came across said she bought the tiny beads off Ebay for £1.99 a packet, so i followed suit! The bags are really quite big, and have so much more in them than the Ciate nail polish bottle. I can't wait to give these a go!

These were around 99p from Ebay also, and they are nail transfers - I've never tried these before, and think they'd look really good over red or yellow polish. Stay tuned to find out!!

And finally...

My easter present.....

This perfume smells GORGEOUS. Im not actually a fan of Justin Bieber, but this was a gift, and the perfume is so sweet and fresh, i cannot stop wearing it!

For all you Biebster fans... 

NOTD and something a little pretty

These are my wintery nails with a hint of summer via nail art! The colour of the polish is most representative in the top image, rather than the bottom ones. The polish is Max Factor Mini in Boji. Onto the nail art, i picked up these stickers really cheaply (around £1) from Bodycare - i don't know if this shop is around the country or just where i live ! In the packet are 3 sheets of stickers, some are stars, some are flowers, and some are little designs like the ones currently on my nails. These are a really cheap way to brighten up your manicure, i personally love them !








This has no relevance to this post, but i saw these at the weekend and i know i won't be able to wear them for a couple of months but i loved them, and as a ballerina myself i love the design of these. For £8 from Primark, you really can't go wrong!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, only 4 more sleeps til the next one!
Lots of love
