Autumn Nails!

I suppose it's time for me to put away my bright fuchsia's and oranges and get out my darker more sultry colours for my nails.

L-R: Barry M 'Red Black' | Nails Inc 'Piccadilly Circus' | 17 'Chaperone' | OPI 'You don't know Jacques' | Models Own 'Grace Green' | Inglot '955'

I love muted pastel shades for this time of year, they add a pop of colour without being too bright. Subtle but eye catching against darker clothing, which we are inevitably going to wear at this time of year.

The ones that I have shown above are what I would describe as muted. They are the Models Own's 'Grace Green', 17's 'Chaperone', Inglots '995' and OPI's 'You Don't know Jacques'. I would have to say that all my Models Own polishes (all 4) are muted colours perfect for autumn. I got them last year around this time and can't wait to wear them this year, actually as I am writing this I have on Models Own's Concrete Mixer.

The Barry M 'Black Red' is a classic I think for this time of year, I remember last year there was a massive hype surrounding this colour in the youtube and blogging world and I can understand why, the deepness of this colour just says it all, although you need to apply even coats (3 at that) otherwise you get streakiness.

The last colour here is Nail Inc's 'Piccadilly Circus', this nail polish colour for me is an all year kind of colour, it's not too dark for summer and not too bright for winter. This has to be one of my all time favourite polishes (did I just say that?!)

These colours are just a selection and obviously there is no rule on what you can or can't wear, I just know that these are the colours that I will be pulling from my box whilst the weather is chilly.

What colours will you be pulling out? I'd love to know what you would recommend! Hope you beauties have had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend!

FOTD!

So I’ve never done one of these posts before (face of the day), so here goes. I hope y’all like it! I was just out running some errands and done this quick makeup look. (Please click on the images for better quality.)

It’s a neutral eyes, nude-ish lip and rosy cheeks look, nothing special but I thought I would share anyway. Sorry about the hair, slick back isn’t my greatest look but when I can’t be bothered and don’t care then this is the result.

Products used:

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC42
MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC42
Bourjois Bronzing Powder in 52 (used this to contour a tad…this product smell so damn good!!)
NYX powder blush in Mocha
MUA Palette in Heaven & Earth
L’oreal Extra Volume Mascara in Black
17 Mirror Shine Lip Stick in Belle

This lip stick is lovely. It is sooo moisturising, the colour pay off is relatively sheer for a ‘lip stick’ but you can definitely build it up to make it more pigmented.

I bought this on my trip to America but they now have an online store for the UK, very pigmented blush.

Now this little gem, I have to admit, I don’t use it as often as I should but for the price and the pay off it was worth my money. I used two colours which are on the bottom row, second and fifth colours in from the left.

See ya later Aligators =) x

Polish Post!

So after about 3 weeks off the nail polish (and it was hard…sooo hard) I have finally painted my nails in one of my all time favourite colours; chaperone by 17.

The 3 weeks was definitely needed as my nails were flaking and staining, not good. But now they are in the best shape they have been in for quite a while!

I love this nail polish because it looks good against my skin tone and it’s understated. The grey is nice and muted and the price is super affordable (£2.99 from Boots). I can’t get enough of it! It lasts for a good few days without chipping and it has good pigmentation with two coats.

What’s your favourite nail polish? =) x
