Barry M Nail polishes // Autumn shades

Barry M have brought out an autumn gel nail polish range to add to their already gorgeous colour range.

I first seen them featuring in a few blog posts and thought the colours were just amazing.

They remind me of fallen leaves on a crisp autumn morning (getting all poetic)

These two colours I picked up were chilli & paprika , loving the names!

Application was great as usual , always a shiny & sleek finish.Another big factor in nail polish with me is definitely how long they take to dry , I'm the most impatient person ever and always seem to be doing something so waiting on my nails to dry is just a big no no , I've found with the Barry M gel range it drys so quickly!

Both of these were £3.99 and both Boots & Superdrug have deal on Barry M right now so definitely rush to the shops to pick up your new Autumn colours!

Thanks for reading!

Lipstick & Nail polish haul // Topshop

Recently I've picked up a few pieces from Topshop, I have been getting really into there lipsticks ,the packaging and the range of colours have just incised me in 

The first lipsticks I picked up were ohh la la// £8.00 which is a bright orange / Pinky colour which is quite sheer with the application , this is definitely a summer colour and really brightens the face, Along with another really summery colour is Innocent // £8.00 Which is quite a shimmery pink colour also quite sheer

I'm not usually into sheer colours and I think they wash me out and I think these were no different would definitely suit a darker skin tone.

Two that I picked up recently were Rio Rio // £8.00 , now this colour was right up my street when I picked up looked like a deep orange but after I took it home it was more of a dark red I don't know  what I was seeing in the store! but none the less red is my favourite lipstick colour and the application is just amazing.

Now the next on is a lip bullet Joyride //  £8.00 this is my favourite of all of them. On the stick it looks quite red but on application its quite a deep pink it goes on really flawless 

All lipsticks out of Topshop are currently 2 for £12.00 which is quite a bargain!

The nail polishes I got were 'All I need is aniseed' & 'Lost for words' both pinks , the All I need is aniseed is a deep pink with great application throne thing I was impressed by were how quickly they dried , this colour only needed one coat and it was good to good so this is great if you were in a rush , The same couldn't be said for Lost for words, a very pale pink that is sheer I had to put on three coats of this to get the desired colour but when it had dried the colour was just gorgeous

These two nail polishes were £5 each

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail paint

So this weekend I popped into town to get started on shopping for Mothers day (which I managed to finish! woo) whilst I was in boots searching through some of the make up products which my mum would like, I couldn't stay away from the nail polish section in Barry M and as soon as I seen these my heart just skipped a beat

I've been stuck to red for the past few weeks due to all my light colors turning gloppy or empty bottles, and I feel so gloom with red on whilst the bright sun was out to celebrate the start of Spring!so when I found these I knew they would be perfect for this season....and summer and they will go with almost anything! very happy find and even better that Boots have  buy one get one half price offer on and only £3.99 each,so I picked up huckleberry 404 and rose hip 402,So definitely hurry and take advantage of the offer!!
