Nails, Inc

So, again it’s time for a Nails inc & diet coke promotion. If you remember last time, I got them all, and I’d love them all this time too. No shame in stocking up on diet coke for a free nail polish is there! I haven’t heard much about this promotion this time, whereas last time “everyone and their mother” was blogging about it!

This time I found out a little late, and when I went into my local Boots they only had the Cool Caramel colour and the Heather Grey. I was with the boyfriend, and didn’t want to appear too crazy so I just picked up the Heather Grey, and didn’t panic outwardly about the others being missing! I noticed the offer is on until February 15th so hopefully there will be some stock somewhere!

Here are the pics,

Obviously I like this colour…

MAC Love & Friendship, E.L.F Mod Mauve, Nails Inc Heather Grey

but they are all slightly different, honest!

I picked up Cool Caramel the next day, but I cant find it now!

I really wanted the Denim one, so I rang my brother this morning, and told him to check his local Boots for me, and he did and surprised me with this when he came round this afternoon

Happy days!
I would like to point out I am still not that much of a Nails Inc fan. The colours are really opaque though and easy to apply. They just don't last that long. I'm all for a freebie though, and at £2ish, I can't complain!

Does this offer tempt you?

SATC Nails

Now, you may have notices from previous posts I'm a little Sex and The City fan! I loved my Samantha inspired nails, and have worn them many times. For Christmas I was given a little nail set inspired by SATC, with a colour for each character. I was a little unsure of it at first, but now I love it.

It is a really cute gift idea for any fan, and I have enjoyed using them. I love how the colours match the characters! These are not necessarily the colours worn by the girls (I have to say I've never noticed Carrie with nail polish) but they definitely fit their personalities. There is also an extremely sparkly, glam nail file included.

Carrie

I paired Carrie's polish with Golden Goddess from ELF for New Years, in a graduated layer.

Miranda

 

Charlotte

This was originally bought from Boots, but is available a lot cheaper from eBay. Such a cute gift idea.
Also available from Boots are Sex and The City "the look" palettes for each character!
Honestly, put Carrie on anything and I want it!

Happy New Year!

Well, hello there! 

I can hardly believe I haven't posted since October! I just have not had any spare time, with work, Christmas, and such. Excuses, excuses I know, but there you have it. Anyway, no surprise that my New Year Resolutions start with blogging more. I of course have been keeping up with the community, through blogger and youtube, and hauling away happily, I just have had no time to photograph it and share with you. I am back now though, I have missed having my own space to showcase loves, rant, and randomly post!

For now, I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and I would like to wish you all an amazing 2011 (can you believe it!). I am hoping for a fairytale year, 2010 was amazing, and hopefully 2011 will be twice as good! We are only 3 days in and I love it already! 

Make the most of everyday, 

Love always

Still under the Spell

I have done several posts/videos about the lovely people/products at Spell cosmetics, and unfortunately this will be one of the last. It is exciting times for Spell, who are undergoing a transformation, and this means they are liquidating all their stock. There are some massive bargains to be had on the site, and of course I am about to place my order. If you want to get a piece of the action, do so quick, they are in the last week of the sale!

I am doing a preview haul now, as by the time I get the products to show you, Spell will be long gone in it's current form!

The blue eyes combo is a must for me, I don't wear enough of these colours and I hope this will inspire me. Plus I have wanted Filter for ages!

I love jewel tones, and this collection is lovely, and a bargain at $19.99

Also, I love Spells blushes, and am tempted to order a few more.

I wish all the luck in the world to the lovely Elle, and the team at Spell.

Jumping on the band wagon

So, I'm a little behind on the whole Etsy and sideways cross necklace things.
I had never bought anything from Etsy before, but I cam see an obsession forming! I am very impressed.

Here are some pictures, although I'm sure you all know what I am talking about.

I wanted to upload an outfit pic, or atleast a headshot wearing this, but my hair wasn't co-operating today... I really enjoyed wearing the outfit, and will post it when my hair behaves!

As far as my first experience with Etsy, it was perfect. Very fast, hassle free transaction. The seller was lovely and helpful, and it was beautifully packaged!
I am now becoming more interested in this type of jewellery rather than the cheap and cheerful accessories I usually wear, although I still have a love for that.

Some more things to add to my wishlist...

1 2 3

These can all be found on Etsy/Ebay, and are very similar to the higher end finer jewellery that is popular at the moment.
Etsy really is a hidden gem for things like this!

A/W at BooHoo

I wanted this post to be a haul, but with loosing my camera I don't feel right telling you about things and not showing pictures, so instead I am going to do a A/W 2010 wish list, starting with clothes from BooHoo. I have these added to my cart on the site, and am just waiting to finalise my order. The new website means that things are held in your cart, which is a feature I both love (convenience) and hate (spend too much money).

1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8

There are many things on the site I want, but I am trying to be restrained, for the sake of my bank balance! Of course some of these will have to be paired with tights now the weather is getting colder, but I cant wait to have some new additions in my wardrobe.
