Nails of the day: Revlon All Fired Up ❤

Hello beauties!
Today's post will be showing you my current nails. Revlon's All Fired Up is a vibrant classy red. I've always overlooked having red nails because I just see them as boring but I am in love with this colour. I love how glossy the finish is and how it compliments any skin tone. I just wish I didn't have to take it off tonight (school tomorrow!). You only need two coats for an extremely opaque colour and I would say the drying time isn't bad either. This can be found in any drugstore and I think costs aroung £5-6. Out of all the reds I've tried this has been my fave and I would highly recommend it.





The last photo is a bit random but I watched Clueless today and I had completely forgotten how much I love this film. It's like the original Mean Girls. Love, love, love. My nails kinda made me feel like I belong in the film too, isn't Cher just fabulous?

Speak soon,
Britt

Nails of the day: Essie Bikini So Teeny ♥

Hello! Today I have a NOTD post for you all :-)
I purchased Bikini So Teeny by Essie back in September but I've only recently started wearing it. This may come across as slightly negative but as soon as Christmas is over I just get so excited about Spring so I love pastel and bright shades!

This colour is super pretty, it's a lavender/periwinkle blue shade with a really, really fine micro shimmer. It is very opaque which is what I mainly look for in a nail varnish. Although I only own two Essie nail polishes as they are quite pricey (£8) they are by far my favourite nail polish brand. The brush is great too as its wide so it doesn't leave you with any visible streaks.
This was unfortunately a limited edition shade so its not available in stores anymore but I'm sure you can find this online!
Now onto some photos! Ignore the condition of my nails, they weren't filed very well, I know!




Have you tried Essie? If so what's your favourite shade?
Tell me in the comments!

Favourite nail polishes for Autumn/Fall!

Hey everyone!
So, recently I've been getting really into nails! Sadly, I'm not allowed to wear nail varnish to school but the second I get home on a Friday, I paint my nails! I love Autumn and I think that there is great selection of suitable colours for this season so I thought I would share them with you :)..

1. Barry M Dusky Mauve nail paint - I wore this over the weekend and it's gorgeous, quite different from in the bottle as it comes out more of a taupe with purple undertones.. But yeah, I love it! Dead on dupe for 'Paradoxal' by Chanel.

2. No7 Stay Perfecr nail colour in Totally Teal - This is such a pretty and flattering colour on all skin tones, it's such a fail safe and I really reccomend buying it. In my opinion it's more of a toe nail colour. Similar to OPI's 'Ski Teal We Drop' and Nails Inc's 'Portland Place'. :)

3.Dior Addict Vernis 570 - Really not sure why this reminds me of Autumn but it's such a pretty warm pink with gold undertones and is also a flattering colour on many skintones. This also has super cute packaging. This colour is sadly discontinued :(

4. Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Hip Hop - This reminds me of Autumn because it's bright orange! I'm thinking leaves and pumpkins. This is so affordable at only £1.79 and would look great on darker skin.

5. 17 Lasting Finish Nail Polish in Amaretto - This is just the perfect colour, it screams Autumn, it's a gorgeous dark golden red and will be on my nails all season! I love it :)

Own any of these colours of fancy buying them? Comment down below! Please also comment saying your fave colours for Autumn/Fall :)
