Revlon Fast Dry- 730 Royal

Another Nail Polish that reminds me of Britain! The ROYAL family.

You can find this for as little as £1 on Fragrance Direct but I initially got this at the hospital where they were selling Nail Polishes to raise money.!

 

This is an awesome blue.! I had been looking for a navy/royal blue for a while but couldn't find one till this one.!

You will absolutely need to do 2-3 coats as it may be streaky.! And you MUST wear a base coat as it does stain.!

It also smells awful....but that's the price you pay if you want royal blue nails.

Are there any other nice blue nail polishes?

Zara Sale - Racer Back Dress

Okay, ZARA is one of my favourite shops as I think the quality of their items is just...phenomenal! 

Although their price tag may not be for everyone...but at least in the SALE you may be able to find something! Anyway here I found the most beautiful and unique Royal Blue Dress! From £49.99 down to £29.99.!.!.!

This dress is super thick, therefore it'll be a while till I wear this in.!. Plus it has an unusual print making it completely unique.!. And has pockets so perfect for those non-bag days.!.!

The Neckline appears to be a halter neck with a plunging neckline so it accentuates your shoulders and busts...but in a classy way.!.!.

Please excuse the terrible tan line!



Also because of the Racer Back I feel as though my shoulders and back just look....good? (Either way I love tops that are racer back especially for the hot summer says!)

The dress is a zip-up dress with a flap closed by press studs so as to hide it! Also the waist line has a string and is gathered/elasticated so it shows off your figure.!

Ideally this dress is great for if your heading to a Pool Party or Beach Party as you can easily take off or unzip (up or down) to show of your Bikini/Swimsuit.!.!

Half Polka Dot Nails

These Half Polka Dot nails look absolutely beautiful! It's just such a simplistic design but it can look so lovely. And I am not a fan of Polka Dots but this is actually really cute. It's also very versatile as you can use it with any color.! So there's one for everyone!

What you'll need is a toothpick (or a dotting tool if you have one. And two colors of your choice (preferably one dark one and a light one of the same color)

1. Paint your entire nail your choice of base color

2. Let that completely dry.!.!.

3. • Now with your choice of nail polish for the polka dots you can (like I did) add a dollop of it onto your hand or a piece of card?

    • Or you could use it straight from the brush but I feel like that may dry out my nail polishes....

4. And then with a toothpick (or dotting tool add it into the nail varnish and start adding the dots.



5. The size, distance between each one and height depends on your nail size and personal preference.

 

So have fun with it, try different colours and sizes and show me some of your attempts of these nails.!

GAP Sale - Polka Dot Jeans

As you guys may have realized I made the most of the summer sales.!. So of course I made sure I popped into GAP to see if anything caught my eye. And that was when I came across these gorgeous jeans.!.

These are the 1969 Polka Dot Legging Skimmer Jeans that are stretchy so its super comfortable and as its ankle length its perfect for the summer! (if your a little shorter these will be the perfect length for you, but I don't mind the length.)
I managed to get these in store from £39.95 down to £9.99.!.!.!.

Despite the fact that it is a Polka Dot Pattern I actually like it as its not very obvious due to the colors being  very similar! Plus the color's super cute!

So did you guys get anything in the SALE?

Poundland Haul (Nail Stickers & Charms)

Since the last time I popped into Poundland I found such amazingly cheap nail products I thought I'd go back and see what else I could find.! All for £1 each.!.!.

These stickers are of Dragon Flies, Stars and Flowers both in Silver and Black with little rhinestones. All very cute.!.!.

These Floral Nail Stickers are a little larger. I presume for when your nails are significantly longer or I guess for a strong bold nail? They come in predominantly black with some pink, purple and white petals. Very cute but bold.

And finally these 3D Floral Nail Charms with a rhinestone at the center. I am super excites about these two.!.! Especially considering how much I loved the last Aurora Nail Bow Nail Charms.

So have you tried any of these yet?

L'Oreal Paris Le Blush - Sandalwood Pink

If your looking for a universal blush this color may be for you.!.!.

I initially got this during Christmas time.. I know I know. It's very late but this is still available so you don't need to nag me. hehehehe.!.!

 

Here I have swatched the Blusher using the brush it came with (yes its rubbish but meh..) L'Oreal recommend it for those who are of a lighter skin tone however if you want a very natural and subtle blush this could also work for medium skin tones.

I also love how practical the packaging is, because its small, compact and has a mirror.!.! YAY! This is perfect for me as yes. I will admit. I am one of those girls who's doing their last minute Make-up and Nails on the train if I'm running extremely late. (Don't judge me.!. I know you've done it at least once.!.!.)

You can get this from Superdrugs or Boots for £7.69

KIKO Makeup Milano Haul

KIKO Cosmetics has been a relatively new addition to London high streets as I have only seen two stores so far. (One in Stratford Westfield and on Oxford/Regent Street) Both of which opened last year, so since I needed a couple things I thought I'd pop in and have a browse (plus the SALE signs were also a pretty good incentive) I got all these in separate occasions so excuse the difference in lighting.

I did end up leaving with a couple of things. The only item I got from the SALE was the 30 Days Extension - Daily Treatment Mascara for £3.90 down from £7.99.Which I think is very cheap considering its a treatment and most normal mascaras are more expensive.
Sticking to the treatment theme I bought the Ultra Long - Post Stress Treatment Basecoat 11ml for £4.90 as my nails are unsettlingly short and I needed a base coat so with this I'd kill two birds with one stone!

I also got the Quick Dry Nail Lacquer 10ml in the colour Transparent, as Top Coat as I plan to make plenty of nail art designs this summer. I got this for £4.90. Though it may be more worthwhile to get the Gel Look - Ultra Glossy Effect Top Coat for that price.

Do you remember that last summer I w's looking for a dupe of a particular eyeshade from an ELF Pallets. Well I think I found it and it is the Infinity Eyeshadow - 210 Satin Brick  for £5.90. I know some of you may think that is a bit expensive for an eyeshade that doesn't even come in a compartment, but to be honest I really didn't care as I have been dying to buy this colour.

Last but no least I got the Velvet Mat - Satin Lipstick in 609 (called Cherry Red online) although it isn't really very red, more purple-ish. I got it for £6.90 which is amazingly cheap for its awesome packaging and colour. (you'll see more in future posts.)

So have you gotten anything from KIKO lately? And doesn't their packaging remind you of MACs?
