My top Four Favorite Nail Polish brands

Hello everyone! 

As you may know by now, I am obsessed and I mean OBSESSED with nail polishes. I recently wrote a post about OPI Alice through the looking glass collection where I touched upon my love for nail polishes. Writing that post made me think about my unnecessarily

large collection ((of polishes)), this oversized collection currently features 7 brands. Throughout many years I have tried many brands and wanted to share with you today my current top four favourite brands. 

OPI

OPI is a new found love for me. When my mother introduced my to the brand, I fell in love with the formula, the colour lacquer creates a gloss finish without even adding a top coat. The OPI formula also lasted a really long time which is perfect! 

Ciaté

When looking for glitter and sparkle I turn to Ciaté. They have the best collection of nail glitter, sequins and caviar in every colour you can think of. Their annual advent calendar features all the glitz and glam a girl could ask for, I seriously can't wait to see what this year's calendar looks like. 

L'Oreal

The cheapest brand in my top four, L'Oreal which is priced at £4.99 has upped their game this year with their polishes. The colours and tones featured in their collection reminds me of Essie's colours and at almost half the price you can buy twice as much! 

Essie 

I always used to treat myself to an Essie nail polish at the end of a University term or after a large deadline. The variety of colours made choosing one so hard. I am also loving their top coat at the moment, its formula adds longevity and shine to a manicure. 

So as you can see I LOVE my nail polishes and always on the look out to try more, so if any of you know of any brands that you love and think I should try comment below as I feel 86 isn't enough polishes for one collection haha! 

See you Sunday,

EASTER FAVOURITES

Happy Friday!
Today is another Easter inspired post. In appreciation of our Easter break beginning today we decided to share with some of our Easter favourites. From chocolate to décor, we hope you enjoy!

Nails: Recently we have been loving these pastel nail polishes from Ciaté. Nothing says spring to us more than pastel polished nails. These soft colours are a great way to start introducing colour back into your style after the darker winter months.

Spring Ciaté nails!

Chocolate: It wouldn't be Easter without an Easter themed chocolate treat (or two) now, would it?! Lindt bunnies are our personal favourite indulgence over the Easter period: they're (almost) too cute to eat!

Treat: As you may have already guessed from previous posts, we love to bake! And Easter gives us a great opportunity to do so, whether it being a more traditional Simnel Cake or taking advantage of Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs in the shops this season.

DIY: A cute and easy idea to brighten up your home or add some Easter decoration to the house is to decorate eggs. Easily created by painting, drawing on, dyeing or embellishing eggs, it's a small decoration but looks super effective! Have a look at our Pinterest board for more examples; we're obsessed with this idea this season!

Décor: We thought that floral wreaths were only used for Christmas, but after seeing this Easter wreath we couldn't help but fall in love! The use of decorated eggs in the wreath adds that Easter feel to the spring florals. This wreath would be the perfect Easter touch to your home over the holiday. (even our Mothers are thinking of getting one!)

Animals: For our final Easter favourite we going to leave you with some photos of cute Spring animals, because who doesn't love chicks and lambs?!
