Oh barrym, how I love you…

Yesterday my legs just happened to take me into Boots on the way for morning coffee.  A little while later I emerged with these items (after paying, before the rumours start):   Amy x PS All the pictures were taken using my Samsung Wave…what do you think of the pictures?  There seemed to be a [...]

Thoughtful…Wednesday

Now maybe it is the 2 glasses of champagne or the skin tight skinny jeans…to be honest who knows or cares.  But tonight I heard 3 important things… 1.  People see you differently to how you see yourself.  How do you choose to see others vs how do you see yourself? 2.  Dont make excuses, [...]

Could it be an essie dupe?

So at the weekend I was showing off my lovely manicure – Essie A Splash of Grenadine. I had decided that I needed this colour in my life! And earlier today I tweeted wondering, had I found a BarryM dupe (Essie on nails) Well here are the results…can you tell whether I have Essie, BarryM [...]

Sometimes just nothing goes to plan

So yesterday I was meant to be working from home…but this bad boy kept popping up: Which led to an impromptu afternoon off…which led to a pedicure (OPI done out in deco) and new sandals.  Pretty eh?!Unfortunately I have some sad news to share.  The Dell Streak is no more.  I tried to love it…and [...]

In the mood for nude

I’ve just found this post in my draft folder… Puzzling as I could swear blind I had posted this before we moved house But it appears not…c’est la vie.  Hope you enjoy!! :o) I appear to have suddenly become slightly obsessed with nude nails!  Which is a shock because for a long time I was [...]

NOTD – Illamasqua ‘force’ (with a twist)

So to celebrate the launch of Illamasqua’s Body Electrics range they kindly sent me a nail varnish and an eyeshadow thing <— can you tell I was much more excited by the nail polish ;o) But I got it in ‘force’ which is a fantastic royal blue colour, a colour I like…it is just I [...]

NOTD: OPI Tickle My France-y

Well after seeing Lollipop26′s recommendation of Coney Island Cotton Candy I took myself off to buy a bottle as a New Year’s treat.  I had got it in my head that I wanted a nude, despite having been disappointed with nudes in the past, and having bought my bestie a bottle of OPI’s Privacy Please [...]

Could it be a dup for Chanel Jade nail polish?

Well after seeing a few posts about how glorious the Chanel Jade nail polish looks I wanted it…possibly even started thinking about using the ‘need’ word… …however, I have bought a Chanel polish before – £16 and it didn’t go on nicely, last well or look good so didn’t fancy making the same mistake again… [...]
