BARRY M GELLY NAIL PAINT

Hello!

Recently, I have discovered a new Barry M range called Gelly Hi-Shine, This range comes in 12 different colours and has a Hi-Shine Gel effect to provide an extra glossy finish to your nails.

I got the nail paint in the colour Blueberry which is a bright blue, and quite similar to Boxer Shorts by Essie but a little brighter. Most of the Hi-Shine nail paints are bold colours, so of you're not a fan of wearing standout nail paint then you might not like this range, but there are a few darker colours that are in the Hi-Shine range which you may like.

I was abit weery when I got the nail paint in Blueberry because, the colour is much brighter than what I would usually wear, but I thought I would try something different and now I love it. I'm not worried about it looking too bright anymore, and as it is Spring people are starting to wear brighter colours, then again I would say this is more of a Winter colour because it is blue, and Winter is usually associated with blue.

When applying the nail paint, you don't need alot on the applicator as a little bit goes a long way, but you do need 2 coats otherwise the colour doesn't look as bright as it should do. Also, the colour glides along the nails nicely and doesn't look streaky at all. The great thing about the nail paint is that it drys quickly, as I have a short attention span when it comes to waiting for nails to dry, this is good because then the nails don't smudge and stay looking lovely.

I'm not one for enjoying painting nails, but using the Hi-Shine range has really made me enjoy it more. Not only because of the fact it has a fast drying rate, but knowing that the outcome of finishing my nails will look good, it gives me motivation to carry on with my nails and not give up half way through like usual. Am I the only one that gets like this when painting nails or do other people do this aswell?

If you're ever in a drugstore and see the Barry M range, I advise you go and look at the Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints. They are only £3.99 and leave the ultimate shine to your nails which is what most girls want! There is no need to apply a clear top coat as the nail paint is shiny enough as it is, and lasts for a long time with no chipping.

Thank you for reading, you can find the Hi-Shine nail paints in most drugstores-if there isn't a drugstore close to you then order one here. 

'SUGAR COOKIES' SEBNINI OF ENGLAND CANDLE

Hello!
 

How was your term break (If you had one)? As you know from my last post I went shopping, and last Friday-Sunday I went to Devon which is the home of my grandparents. I love Devon, it's such a cute place and very picturesque with alot of villages, and a beach.

Whilst I was in Devon I went to Sidmouth and went into the town. In the town there is a shop called Delderfields, the shop sells all sorts of things for your home and whilst I was in there I came across a candle range. The range is called Sebnini Of England with a large variety of candle smells on offer, but after smelling every candle (there was about 15) I found the one for me, it is called 'Sugar Cookies.'

 The smell of this candle is absolutely gorgeous, here are a few words I would use to describe the candle:

Yummy

Tasty

Gorgeous

Sweet

Heaven

Sugar

Cakes

Those words describe what the candle smells of, in more detail the candle is a very sweet scent-not everyone would like the smell of this because not everyone has a sweet tooth or likes the smell of sweet things, but I love it. It sort of smells like cake mixture with extra sugar for that very sugary smell I can smell. I was on the verge of eating the candle it smells that delicious, then I remembered it was actually a candle which is made from wax-this would not taste how I think it would.

Sebnini Of England has alot of different candles and each candle comes in a metallic tin with a coloured label around, and on top of the lid to match the scent. I wouldn't say the packaging on the candles are very decorative, but all that matters is that you like the smell of the candle.

Some of the other candles are:

Fresh Coffee

Lilac and Lavender

Asian Spice

Bluebells

Bubbles

Mango and Pineapple

Tangarine and Cinnamon

Victoria Plum

Sweet Vanilla

Lily of the Valley

Patchouli and Juniper

Lemon and Lime

Jasmine and Orange

Morning Dew

Strawberry and Melon

There were also some more candles but I can't remember them all. Another scent I really liked was the Sweet Vanilla, most people will know what vanilla smells like, but this was a very soft soothing vanilla smell-not strong and too over powering.

I've tried to find a link for Delderfields (where I got the candle) but there isn't a website for it, the only place I can find is here, not all the candles on the website are Sebnini Of England candles, but there are a few sold there.

If you ever see or hear of a place that sells the Sebnini Of England candles then I suggest that you go and smell them, maybe even purchase one.

COLLECTIVE HAUL

Hello!

It feels like I haven't updated in ages, but I did post something last Sunday-I think my brain is a little frazzled, and if you're on term break then I hope you're having a nice one.

 Last weekend, I went shopping with my mum and decided I would do a haul. If I ever go shopping and buy some interesting stuff then I will most likely do a blog post on it.

As you can see I got quite alot of things, and yes I did buy a tiara.

Starting from the left I got:

• Maroon zip up jacket-Topshop

• Cinderella tiara (for a friend's princess themed leaving party)-Disney Store

• Blue and purple frilly socks-Topshop

• Acid wash jeans-Topshop

• Nike air max 1's-Foot Locker

• Black and white striped crop top-Topshop

• Nail varnishes (will post a close up)-Topshop

• Gel insoles-Topshop

• Umbrella-Topshop

• Disco pants-Topshop

• Dollar sign earings (will post a close up)-New Look

• Chunky chain necklace-New Look

• Black jumper with spiked collar-Topshop

Currently, for school I wear a zip up jacket over my jumper, but the one I had previously was from New Look and literally provided no warmth whatsoever, It was just one layer of material whereas the one I got from Topshop is much warmer and has a soft layer inside which is extra snuggly!

I have been living in some blue leggings/jeans for ages now and decided it was time I got a new pair of jeans to wear, so I thought I would get some acid wash jeans. Some people don't like the look of acid washed clothes, but I really like the effect it gives off.

My Nike Air Max 1's took alot of searching for, but I finally found a pair in my size, you can buy them from Office, and they are quite pricey but so so comfy. The shoes are white with a purple/blue shiny bit and a red nike tick, the gelly air bubble is also red and there is a grey section on the shoes aswell. I have seen quite alot of people wear these shoes and I thought they looked nice, so I got some of my own. I have worn the shoes with black disco pants and a grey top with the chain necklace, but you could also wear the shoes with jeans-I would roll the jeans up.

The earrings and necklace look like this close up:

The earrings are gold plated dollar signs, aswell as the necklace. I've been on the hunt for a chunky chain necklace for ages and finally I've got one, I also found the earrings cute and different.

Some may say the necklace and earrings look chavvy but so many people about wear these sort of necklaces. Zoella owns one, and if you have a tumblr account and look at the fashion pictures then most people are wearing these sort of necklaces. Also, if you wear the earrings with clothing that isn't chavvy then they won't appear that way.

Whenever I go to Topshop I always buy a pair of socks and some nail varnishes. The socks I got are a deep purple and blue, and look like a galaxy with frills at the top of the socks. The nail varnishes I got are called Bees Knees and White Witch, I think I got the last ever White Witch though because it isn't on the website, and it was the only one in Topshop.

Bees Knees is a pale yellow colour, not as bright as yellow itself but a lovely summery colour. White Witch is a clear varnish but with white holographic hexagonal sparkles in, I would use it as a top coat for a plain white nail varnish as itself on a bare nail looks too plain and lost.

Overall, I like what I have purchased, and I was in need of some new clothes to wear!
