Going Rococo A Go Go

Orly's Rococo-A-Go-Go is from the Mineral FX range. Of all the polishes from the sales haul, this was the colour I was most eager to try. I have seen this swatched and heard of celebrities wearing it. But for me, it was the look of the colour.

Post Christmas Sales Haul (Part 2)

I was slightly delayed with this follow up due to my memory failing me and not grouping my two Lush transactions together to begin with. I am a bubble bar fanatic, I love them. If you've never tried a Lush bubble bar, you haven't lived!! They are quite simply that good. My favourite has got to be The Comforter, it smells like Ribena to me and I love that as it's definitely got good associations with my childhood!

My Post-Christmas Sales Haul (Part 1)

I set out for the post-Christmas sales with only two purchases in mind: Benefit's Glossytown lipgloss set and a Paco Rabanne Lady Million gift set. From the title of the post, you may be able to tell that I purchased a little more than planned....

My First Mavala: Electric Green

Mavala is a brand I've heard of and seen in stores; I had just never bought from it before. On a trip to Bluewater (yes, it's those fateful words again), I accompanied my sister to John Lewis. While she was making an enquiry at one of the cosmetics counters, I innocently wandered over to the nail polish section. I saw two ladies pouring over one of the sections and lo and behold, it was Mavala.

Petrol In Water Setting My Fingertips Alight...

With colour! As promised earlier, here are some swatches of the delightful Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Trio in the shade Petrol in Water. Now this is the shade I originally stumbled across on a blog, and went on the hunt for in Superdrug stores near and far. Eventually I ordered online when it finally came back into stock.

Eliza by Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique

This is a brand created by celebrity nail technician Andrea Fulerton and is sold exclusively at Superdrug. I came across it quite randomly when I stumbled upon a blog post about the famous Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Trio Petrol in the Water. That in itself is an amazing colour which I'll blog about at a later date. This is the first single colour I've bought from the range and I have to say I'm impressed.

A Midnight Star with a Shot of Silver

It seems to be all my recent posts are Orly ones! Yes I'm a fan, but it's more that being in a rush quite a lot recently, they dry the fastest out of my collection. This is a delightful colour called Midnight Star. It's a shimmery purple that looks as good in the bottle as it does on my nails.
