Barry M Hi-Shine Gelly Nail Paint in Papaya

Isn't this colour gorgeous?! I resisted these Gelly polishes for a while. Having swatches them in store I wasn't impressed with their drying time even with just one coat but couple a 3 for 2 offer with the need to own every coral ever and I caved. Who could blame me? 


Minimal tip wear on my lesser used digits since Thursday (today being Tuesday) although I did have to redo my index finger yesterday. 
I'm still not impressed with the drying time or the stability once dried but some good ole Seche Vite fixed that and these have lasted fairly well! Maybe Seche has just spoiled me... Ah well I'm sure I'll live!

    My problem with these polishes is that they aren't really Jelly's :( super pretty colour though!

      I think the key here is the G. The way I take it they're not traditional Jelly formulas that look like actual Jelly. Instead they're trying to buy into the Gellish trend (long wear & high shine) whilst sticking with traditional cream colours which is their speciality. Unfortunately they don't pull off anything near the quality & stability of Gellish and we've just ended up with slightly shinier versions of existing polishes.

"Brand New Mint In Box"

By
Of the ways to describe the most premium of items in your makeup collection "Brand New Mint In Box" should not be one of them. One of my most awful habits is buying makeup and then not using it and to my even greater shame it is usually with my most expensive purchases. There is an Alan Carr joke about the extortionate price of a Spanish Onion, the punchline is "when do you save an Onion for best?" This is kind of how I feel about expensive makeup. It's so pretty and so precious that if I get up the courage to actually purchase it, I'm then usually too scared to use it. The pride and shame of this habit is these two items from Dior.  The absolutely sublime Dior Skin Nude Tan highlighter which I purchased as a pre-release special edition from House Of Fraser TWO YEARS AGO has sat in box all tightly wrapped up only being shown the light to show off to my friends and family. Yes I do show off my prettiest of pretties to my friends and family...

No Halloween Costume Needed

By
It's become an accepted norm that once December 1st comes around the nations will don their snowflake print leggings and their novelty jumpers but so far the other seasons are lacking in their effort. Yes, Halloween is famous as being the single greatest costume day of the year but I need October to step and represent in the seasonal apparel game.  Thankfully retailers have heard my inner goth cry and have come up with some seriously cute Halloween inspired items. For those who love a slogan tee you have every variation of saying that could possibly be made by rhyming witch with bitch and if you don't say every one of with Emma Roberts' attitude then you need to watch season 3 of American Horror Story immediately!   Dressing with the seasons is clearly big money but it doesn't have to cost the world. Here are my choices of how to get into the Halloween spirit all under £30.  Boohoo Starting with my favourites because I can! I actually bought the f
