My Top Six Winter Polishes

Hello everybody,

So we are now fast approaching winter, the last few leaves are falling to the ground and with winter comes Christmas. The shops have put up their Christmas decorations and Starbucks have started making their Christmas drinks and yes I am aware that I've used the word Christmas a lot but I'm just really excited! Now one of my favourite things to do at Christmas is paint my nails Christmassy colours so today I thought I'd share with you my top six nail polishes for the winter and Christmas 3 colours and 3 glitters. I might show you how to do a Christmas manicure nearer the time but for now let's get on to the polishes.


I'm going to show you the colours first

Now this one I actually have on my nails now as I'm writing this post it's a dark teal colour and it only takes one coat for it to be opaque the only bad thing is it does stain your nails if you don't put on a base coat first. 
The second is another deep colour except this one is pink. I like this because as it get colder and darker during the winter months colour ends up being sort of lacking in my wardrobe so a great way to add colour without spending a lot of money is by painting your nails. 
The last colour is red of course you can't paint your nails for Christmas without the classic Christmas red.

Now on to glitters...
The first is a glittery blue I like this one because it's got the combination of little bits of glitter with big bits and it goes really nicely with the teal colour I mentioned earlier.
The next glitter polish is silver. I love this nail polish because it goes with pretty much every colour. 
Finally the last polish I'm going to show you goes perfectly with red for Christmas; it's a gold glitter polish.

See you next time,

New York Haul

Hello everybody,

Today I thought I'd share with you everything that I bought while on holiday in America. So I went shopping on several occasions although i didn't actually buy that much. 


In Manhattan



The first thing I got was my Nike trainers that my parents bought for me. They are Nike free 0.5 in grey and Tiffany blue.

$100 from Niketown


I then had to buy some trainer socks as I didn't pack enough for the trip so I got these black and white mixed pack.

$5 from Forever 21

In Woodbury Outlet

I went into to Aeropostale and got three tops.
The first is this dark grey boy crop top that says where did all the fun people go? $6

Second is a very autumnal maroon colour floral crop top. $6


Last I got from Aeropostale a grey graphic top that's a lighter grey than the first one. $4


My Grandad, Rupert bought me this coat and its a black Hooded Parker. It's also really fluffy inside the hood and it keeps me nice and warm.
$70 from G.H.Bass & co.


I'm sorry that today's post is quite late and that I didn't take the photos myself I've just been busy revising for assessments that I've got all this week and next and it's been really dark here recently so I didn't want you to not be able to see the things I bought.
