My Autumn Nail Polish Favourites



Hi everyone! Long time no see, Today i'm going to be showing you my favourite nail polishes for Autumn. I love metalic nail colours for Autumn as they spice up an outfit and look great for day and night. So lets get started.


17 Nail polish
I got this nail polish last Christmas in a set so I don't think you will be able to buy it separately. This is a gorgeous turquoise colour that looks similar to the nail polishes you'd find in Topshop. You only need a few coats with this and it will last for a few days.


This is a gorgeous glittery pink colour that would look great for nights out and for Christmas. I got this quite a while ago but I've managed to find it on the Boots website. The only problem I have with this is that it does take while to get off with nail polish remover as it does have glitter in it. This is also really long lasting as well.


I bought this nail varnish from Fragrancedirect.co.uk as it was really cheap, around £2. This is my first matte suede nail polish so I was intrigued to try it. It is a gorgeous burgundy/ wine colour that looks perfect with autumn clothes. However it does come out darker than it looks in the bottle, so you only need about 2 coats of it. This lasts around 5 days so it is long lasting. 


A purple shade for Autumn is a must have as they are really wearable! You can buy this from Superdrug. This is my favourite one from Barry M. As you can see it does have some shimmer in it which looks really nice on your nails. The swatch unfortunately came out much darker than it actually is so you might have to Google search for some swatches! This is a real bargain at £2.99 and is a must have for Autumn.


I absolutely love the colour of this and would look great with most outfits in Autumn. I also bought this from Fragrancedirect.co.uk. The quality is really good considering it was only £1.99. The brush is fairly small but still applies the nail polish evenly.  I would definitely recommend Calvin Klein nail polishes as you can find them on the internet for really cheap prices.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post!

Whats on My Nails #4




Hi everyone! Today I am wearing Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine in the shade 'Prickly Pear' Also I have used some of the Style Addict Nail polish from Avon over the accent nail which creates a really nice sparkle to it. This colour is perfect for summer and also lasts a long time without chipping! The formula is quite thick which gives a gel consistency and makes it appear more shiny.

 I only needed 2 coats of the Barry M nail polish to get the full effect. I would love to buy more of these Barry M Gelly Hi Shine's as they have a great formula and are reasonably priced.

You can buy this Barry M nail polish HERE for £3.99 and currently they have a buy 1 get the 2nd half price offer on some Barry M products.

Hope you enjoyed reading this!

Have you tried any Barry M gelly nail polishes?

Beauty Haul: Boots and Primark


Hi everyone! A few days ago I went into town to buy a few beauty bits and makeup. I used some of my birthday money and also ended up gaining a few more boots points, which is always good!


The first things I got were some nail polishes. I got 2 Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail polishes in the shades 'Lychee' and 'Prickly Pear' I've never tried these before and I wanted to give them a go as I've heard many good reviews on them. They were also buy 1 get 1 half price. I also bought my first ever Sinful Colors nail polish in the shade 'Easy Going' This was only £1.99 for 15ml!


Next I bought a Natural Collection Pressed Powder in 'Neutral' This was only £1.99 and I have just run out of my Rimmel Stay Matte one, so I needed another. I decided to give this one a try as its a bargain and the Rimmel one wasn't working well for me as I have really oily skin.

I then bought the Sally Hansen Insta- Dri top coat. I am very impatient when it comes to waiting for my nails to dry and I always tend to smudge the as well! This was a bit expensive at £5.99 but hopefully it works well.

I bought the L'oreal Micellar Solution as it was reduced by a third off. I saved £1.66 and I got it for £3.33. A lot of people have said this is a good product, so I decided to give it a go.


The last beauty item I bought was a deodorant (boring) I had just finished my Dove original one and wanted to try something new. I saw this on offer for £2. It has a really nice scent and is quite refreshing. I also know that Zoella from Youtube has the same one as she showed it in her vlog :) 


I also saw a stand that had free samples of the Sk:n cleanser. I picked one up and have already tried it. It makes your face really soft and exfoliates really well.

I also had a quick look in Primark and saw these cute earrings! I love the rose ones and the swallow ones. For £2.50 I thought these were a bargain!

Hope you enjoyed my haul!
