It's my Birthday in less than a week!!

Hi!

I am sooooooooooo excited!! I am going to be 22 in less than a week. Birthdays are one of my favourite times of the year! I love being spoilt!! 

It's weird though, living away from home, i wont be able to see my friends, who i have for the last few years, but my mum and sister are coming to visit me which will be nice, as we are planning on going shopping :) And i get paid 3 days before too, so I can spend spend spend!!

I am thinking about buying a Nars bronzer, currently i have the Benefit Hoola, but i have totally hit pan, and really need to replace it, but i am not sure how the Nars compares...

I am also going to treat myself to a Sleek Palette, not sure which one yet, depends what they have in the Superdrug near me!! 

I will do a haul when i have got it all!!

Nail Varnish Collection...so far!!

Hi!

This is my first blog post!!

I have to confess that I am obsessed with nail varnishes. This is a bit of a shame, as I am not allowed to wear any fancy colours to work (although it doesn't stop me from buying them!!!)

Anyway... i haven't got that big a collection, yet, but i am hoping to acquire some more soon!!

I really like the BarryM nail paints, and try to buy at least one a month, i currently have 10 of them, and am just waiting until payday to get more!! I also have a few from the new MUA range at Superdrug, and a couple from 17 at Boots.

I think the BarryM are my favourite, because they are a nice smooth formula, and easy to paint onto my nails, even though a few of the colours stain my nails quite badly, even with a base coat on! The brush could be improved, and made a little wider, like other brands, but the pigmentation of them is good.

The colours i have are...



From left to right:
Limited Edition Pink, Burgundy, Bright Red, Red Glitter, Cobalt Blue, Blue Glitter, Lemon Ice Cream, Strawberry Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream, Crystal Clear.

From the MUA range at Superdrug I have:


Left to right:
Shades 18, 11, 1, 10, 3, 17


These are the 3 i got from 17 at Boots. they are called Knockout Red, Toasted Almond, Moonstruck. I really like the formula of these, and the brush is nice and wide, so only needs one stroke to apply. I think I might be buying more of these!! At only £2.99 each, they are pretty reasonable.

I will swatch everything at a later date, as already have my nails painted at the moment!

This is how I store them:


I have a little mini chest of drawers, which they fit nicely into!

Thats all from me for now, hope i didnt ramble too much! First post and all!!

Thanks for reading!
