Would You Like Sprinkles On That?






Nails Inc Pudding Lane, OPI My Very First Knockwurst



Two recent nail polish purchases I got are the Nails Inc Sprinkles 'Pudding Lane'  which is a beautiful teal shade with gold and black glitter particles in it, which you could wear just on it's own which will be amazing over the festive period.

The other shade I got was OPI My Very First Knockwurst which is from their Germany collection and to be honest there was not many shades from their collection which took my fancy apart from this one and also Berlin There Done That come Autumn time I am all for the nudes and dark shades.

My Very First Knockwurst is such a pretty pink-beige creme shade which applies like a dream and only needs two coats, I've been wearing it on it's own for past few days, then I thought I would spice it up and add the Nails Inc polish on my ring finger which I think they go well together.

Did you get anything from OPI's recent collections? What shades do you like?

Haul Time......





So I've been trying to be good recently and have a min spending ban, for nearly a month and then I was browsing on line on Sunday and before I knew it I'd just done quite a big shop , thing I find with online shopping is.... doesn't seem like real money haha.



NYX Eyeshadows in Gypsy and Sahara - I've heard such good things about Nyx shadows so decided to try a couple out and this was a NYX Duo and I've only been using them for a couple of days and so far I really like them,really pigmented and feel like velvet.

Daniel Sandler Retexturizing Primer-  I had asked on twitter what this was like, and so many people replied saying it was amazing, I had been using the Benefit Porefessional for so long and thought nothing would beat this WOW how wrong could I be? This is incredible feels like i'm applying silk to my face and the difference it makes when I'm applying my foundation is amazing.

Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet Mascara- Needed a new one and have used this before, I love big jumbo brushes as I love the look it gives.

Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush -  Never ever tried this before, but thought I'd give it a go, the jury is still out at the moment need to use it a bit more before I can give my real views on it.

YSL Touche Eclat-  Everyone and anyone knows this, I had one a couple of years ago and had never got round to re purchasing it so this time I did in shade 01.

Nails INC Polishes in Sweets Way Sprinkes and Paint your Pinkie-  Love both of these shades and can't wait to do NOTD posts on them, especially love the Paint Your Pinkie as it's for charity.

OPI My Very First Knockwurst - I wasn't blown away with this collection from OPI  if i'm honest but I do love a beautiful nude in the Autumn months and this is so pretty.

Thierry Mugler Womanity- This is will be in my top 5 perfumes ever, I love it, love the design of the bottle and how quirky the lid is and the smell is out of this world and last all day I swear to god it's wonderful I am no good at describing  scents at all so this is what they say 
Engaging, mysterious and unique, Womanity is full of contrast. It's built around the theme of the fig fruit, a powerful symbol of femininity, with an exceptional fig and caviar accord


 I also picked up got a lot of Elizabeth Arden skin care products but I think I will have to do a seperate post on them.
If you want anything done in more reviews just let me know.

Have you been on a shopping spree recently? what did you buy?

NOTD OPI 'Do You Lilac it?'




Now we been getting a few more sunny/warmer days I have been bringing all my Pastal shades and bright shades out as there nothing nicer than on a sunny day have a pretty shade of Nail polish on ya nails.

One of my all time favourite shades is OPI 'Do You Lilac it?' it is just the perfect pastal lilac shade,and I get full coverage with just two coats,during the spring and summer months I always find myself reaching for this shade and so far I have never got bored of it.

My all time fave top coat also is the OPI Rapid Dry Top Coat which is pretty amazing but I have ran out of that so at the moment I have been using Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat and oh my god it adds just enough gloss to make every shade look extra shiny I love it.

What Nail colours do you love during the summer?

L-R-Kiss me on the tulips,Re light ahead...where?,Suzi pedal faster,I have a herring problem,Fly,Dit it on em,metallic4 life,save me,are we there yet?,Gouda Gouda two shoes



.OPI 'Gouda Gouda Two Shoes'- From their Dutch collection is a beautiful muted pink with stunning shimmer in.
OPI 'Fly'-Is stunning I love this sky blue shade and love layering glitter over the tops of it, will look so nice on toenails come the summer walking along the beaches
OPI 'Save Me' -An amazing glitter base polish with lots of hologrpahic  strands in it,can either layer it up sand where it on it's own or add that extra touch to a shade .
OPI' Are we there yet?'- I've had this shade for a long time now it has been neglected quite a bit until recently when I have fallen in love with it, a gorgeous melon shade with a very subtle hint of shimmer in it.
OPI Metallic for life- I know isn't a very 'spring/summer' shade but I have been loving this a lot at the min so i thought I would just chuck it in for good measure
OPI Suzi pedal faster- Beautiful baby pink/lavender shade with hint of shimmer needs 2/3 coats to get full coverage though as very sheer.
OPI Kiss me on the Tulips- I'm wearing this at the moment it is a bright pink and looks bright in the bottle but once it hits the nails it has another level of brightness and I love it.
OPI 'Red Lights Ahead.....Where?'- This is going straight on my toes as soon as we get hot sunny weather this is an amazing shade a coral/hot red just automatically reminds me off summer
OPI Did It On Em- A beautiful lime green shade which again just reminds me of summertime.

I'm also loving my good ol faithful Barry M =Peach Melba,Blue Moon and Mint Green.
Obviously can never really see the shades that clearly in pictures, So if you want me to a specific Nail of the day post then just let me know and I will. 

What polishes are you loving?

NOTD- OPI 'Save Me'






Whilst I was shopping on saturday I stopped by our local Sally's store and picked up two new OPI polishes from the Nicki Minaj collection I got 'Fly' and 'Save me' and this morning was staring at Save me trying to decide if I wanted to wear it on it's own or to layer it over another polish after much dilly - dallying ( that saying always makes me laugh, My mum always used to say it to me as a kid 'Stop Dilly-Dallying') anyways I decided to layer it over OPI 'tickle my francey' which is a subtle nude with pink undertones.
And the picture was taken before I had removed the annoying strand of glitter from my cuticle! So annoying I didn't see it until afterwards

I personally think the glitter and the holographic sparkles in Save Me looks really nice on the nude base and makes it stand out a bit better and I'm glad I decided to layer these two shades together I'm sure I will again in the future.
Do you own any of the shades from the Nicki Minaj collection? What shades do you like to layer together?
