Recent bits... continued!

So not to drown you with my inane waffle, I decided to split this post into two.
Here goes part two!

 1. Nail art bits
Left: Poundland, right: eBay. I love the studs!

2: Bourjois polish remover. 
So. Much. Love. It works like a dream. However, don't use it with glitter because it's shredded the sponge so whenever I use it now I get little bits of black foam on my fingers. It's not the end of the world though. 


3. Nina Ultra Pro 'Punki Pink'. My camera has done the WORST job at capturing just how neon this polish is. My BlackBerry did an OK job, so the last photo is from that. 



It's soooo neon and I am in love! I know it's not a brand that's available everywhere, but Sally's beauty wholesalers stock Nina and it's so affordable. I didn't pay over £3 for this, but that's because my Mum is a trade card holder. Might be a little more for standard sales. 


I've used this polish so many times these past few weeks, so I can safely say it's fast becoming one of my favourite polishes ever! I've currently got OPI's I Lily Love You layered over the top and it's so so so cute. 

Last but not least, my three new Revlon polishes. 


I FINALLY got my hands on 'Sparkling' (right). So so so pretty. The other two, 'Sunshine Sparkle' and 'Demure' are also gorgeous, but only cost £1! I've had Sunshine Sparke on my toes for a while and it's lovely and summery, despite the weather being otherwise.


I hope I haven't bored you to death with my ramblings. Have you had any recent bargains?

Recent bits!

Apologies for my super long hiatus! I've been working all the hours I can get at work and I've been taking it easy in my free time. Since finishing uni in May I haven't written anything coherent so forgive me if this post waffles on or makes no sense!

Recently, I've been stocking up on my bargains and other bits and pieces. Rather than posting about everything individually, I thought I'd write one or two posts with lots of photos and a couple of reviews. Here goes!

1. Glossybox May Goodies!



I love love love the Berber Oil and the smell of the Nobel Isle shower gel. I haven't attempted to wear the eyelashes yet but they're lovely. I'm not sure on the Lolita Lempika fragrances; they're a little strong for me. Lastly, I've used half of one of the face masks and didn't find it that thrilling actually :(

2. New polishes!

I've been a little naughty and bought quite a few over the last few weeks, but they're all too lovely. 





LOOK AT THE COLOURS! Poundland strikes again. I've never heard of Chit Chat anywhere else, but Poundland seems to have loads of it. For the measly sum of £1 sterling, I got my grubby mitts on this super polish. It may be just me, but I reckon it's a pretty good almost-dupe for OPI's Rainbow Connection. I know it's not the same, but it looks it to me! The only thing I don't like is the awful smell this polish seems to radiate. Perhaps it has naughty formaldehyde in :( For the photos above I layered it over ELF's Desert Haze.

Another cheeky Chit Chat polish: 


The blue holo chunky glitter shouted my name! I couldn't resist. Again, the smell is atrocious but under a couple of coats of top coat it's fine. I haven't swatched this yet, but I'm sure I'll be painting my toes some time soon. 

3. Essie lovelies!


I know they're not the current ones but I picked these babies up in TK Maxx a couple of weeks ago. I've found out that the name on the bottle of one of them is wrong, so I have no idea what it's called :( 

I'm pretty sure 'Enuf is Enuf' (left) and 'Carnival' (right) are the correct names, but the middle one is definitely not 'Lovie Dovie.' I reckon that's why it's in TK Maxx. However, I purchased these three babies for about £9.99. 

This is a mighty long post so I will continue a little later!
