Spring Red

Let's talk about Spring nails shall we? Let's face it, so far all I've seen are more pastels I can shake a stick at. And that's cool. I love a good pastel blue nail. Mint green? I'm down. 

But it's same-y. 

Spring Top 5 | Nails

Much like lips - a pretty obvious way to easily switch up your looks is via your digits. Spring is probably the easiest way for me to embrace pastel shades as I can never seem to find the right shade of mint knitwear...

Spring Top 5 | Lips

When it comes to lips and colour - it's the one part of my makeup routine that isn't strictly a routine; I switch it up on a daily basis usually dependent on mood and quite frivolously, the weather outside.

Now that we're in Spring (I think it's quite British to moan about the weather and discuss it, but seriously we had five days of Summer the other day...) I'd thought I'd round up five of my current favourites for this time of year...

Essie | Spring 2014 Collection

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I am a sucker for an Essie collection and when I saw the new Spring 2014 'Hide and Go Chic' colours, well. Wild horses and all that...

Spring Ready

I'm just one of those people that prefers autumn/winter over spring/summer. Despite that, I'm embracing the coming season (here's lookin' at you, March,) by switching up, adding and taking away a variety of products to put me more in a 'spring ready' mood...

Nuxe Spring Wishlist | Blogger Competition

There are types of brands that you stick with because you know their stuff just works. Nuxe is one of those brands for me, my favourites having to be the Reve de Miel range - lip balm, cleansing gel... the body cleansing gel too! It smells heavenly and gets the job done...

Top Five Spring Nail Colours

 Left to right; 17 Lasting Fix 'Glisten', No7 Stay Perfect 'Tangy', All About Nails 'Caribbean Coconut', Barry M 'Blueberry', MUA 'Shade 5'.

When it comes spring colours, I'm all for the pretty pastels and such like - but I usually like to go for a punch more colour like No7's 'Tangy' or Barry M's 'Blueberry,' so that when spring leads into summer - I am all set with my colours.

That being said, I like to keep the brighter colours on my toes - while the milder colours like MUA 'shade 5' and All About Nails 'Caribbean Coconut,' are usually on my nails - I find them more adaptable for what I'm wearing, and usually I can layer some glitter polish on top of the peachy colour when I want to add a bit of sparkle. 

And for special occasions I bring out the 17 Lasting Fix in 'Glisten,' - It has two tones, pink and coral with a gold shimmer. Perfect for a night out. Subtle and pretty, with glitter.

What are your favourite nail spring colours?


Have a great weekend!

Peace!!

april 'window' shopping

Just a few items I've been looking at for spring and summer. :)

I've noticed though, that quite a lot of things are selling out real quick, these days, or is it just me?

None of these things I actually need, apart from a new analogue watch and clutch (real leather, I actually want the american apparel carry all pouch - expensive!) - well, two out of four isn't bad. ;)

Oh and my job interview went splendidly and I've been invited out for a second interview! Yay!

Peace!
