Soap & Glory

Hello beautiful people, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I had an amazing one as it is the first year that my daughter has understood what's going on!

Since Christmas I think I have had a bath every night, which is strange for me as I'm more of a shower person. The reason I have found a new love for baths is due to being spoilt with lots of Soap and Glory products. I always forget how much I love the Soap and Glory products, they are amazing, smell incredible and to top it off they aren't ridiculously expensive! I'm also a sucker for the packaging which is very cutesy and humorous.

I highly recommend Soap and Glory for all ages. I have sensitive skin yet Soap and Glory doesn't irritate my skin at all. The products are usually on 3for2 at Boots.

High End Beauty Wishlist

Oh to have lots of money! I thought I would do a High End Wishlist, I had to limit myself to just six products as I could have gone on..and..on!

I will also be doing a more affordable beauty wishlist before Christmas!

Nails Inc | The Ultimate Accessory Gift Set

Good Evening!

It was recently my 22nd Birthday and one of the presents I received was this Nails Inc Gift set from my lovely big sister! I thought I would share it with you as Christmas is approaching quickly and I think it's a great gift.

In the set you get 7 polishes, one of which is a glitter, five beautiful christmassy colours, a top coat and a nail file. I personally think all of these are lovely colours which is unusual as in most sets there are normally one or two colours that aren't so great!

1| Kings Road | Full Size £12.00

This is my favourite. It is one of the Nails Inc "Foil" textured polishes. This is a beautiful rose gold shade, I have been looking for a rose gold polish for ages but I have found some are too pink and some too metallic.  Kings Road is the perfect mix of both. It only takes two coats and it’s completely opaque.

2| St Ann's Lane | Limited edition (For this giftset)

This is a really pretty dusky pink colour. I love this as an every day natural colour.

3| Old Bond Street | Limited edition - Comes in the gel effect

This is a stunning purple/blue colour. This bold colour would give a great pop of colour to a plain outfit. It takes about three coats to make it opaque.

4| Tate | Full Size £11.00

This is a bold classic red colour. I think this is the perfect festive colour for Christmas. It is hard to find a classic red that is as chip resistant as this. It only takes two coats for it to be opaque.

5| Horseferry Road | Limited edition (For this giftset)

This colour looks black in certain lights but it has dark red undertones. I don't tend to like black polishes but the red in this makes it less harsh against the skin.

6| Derby Gate | Limited edition (For this giftset)

This is a pink chunky glitter polish. This looks great on top of colours, especially on top of Horseferry Road and Kings Road from this collection.

7| Caviar Topcoat | £15.00

This is dry in 45 seconds.  It makes your polish more chip resistant and is "enriched with caviar extract for a wet look professional finish"

 Overall,  I love all of these colours and will get a lot of use out of them. I have always been a big Nails Inc fan and personally prefer them to OPI. The prices are quite high but I think they are worth it.  They last on my nails without chipping a lot longer than cheaper brands.

If you are looking for a more affordable polish that still has a great colour range I would recommend BarryM polishes.
