First post: nail polish

I have been blogging on Tumblr since June 2013 and now after 8 months I feel I need a little change. I thought I'd move my Tumblr here to Blogger with a new title. I am very excited, but I know it's going to take a while to get used to how things work here. I will still keep my old blog, so if anyone is interested they can still visit.

Last week I got my February Glossybox and promised to review my new Ciate London nail polish. It is a full size bottle (13.5 ml, RRP £9) Colour: Play Date.

I am very happy with this nail polish, especially the beautiful red colour. The cute little bottle with a black bow makes it even more irresistible.

This nail polish is very easy to apply and dries quickly. I'd only applied one coat and for me I thought it was enough. It is a bit thick but the colour darkens on nails. I prefer to apply several thin layers of polish than one thick one usually. It is a nice decent size bottle, but I don't think I would ever buy a £9 bottle of nail polish. A quick warning - my nails are not in very good condition and the skin around my nails is damaged. I have been a bit too lazy to take proper care of my nails and on top of this I've also lost my Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle Pen, so I definitely need to buy a new one and start looking after my nails again. My skin is very dry and is always peeling off around my nails. So for me, a clear coat of repairing nail polish helps to protect them.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck. My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair. Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
