Glitter & Sparkle Nails

With the days getting duller and the evenings getting darker,  bright and sparkly nails are much needed to brighten up our days! I've had both of these nail polishes a little while now, but decided to dig them out the other day to get some sparkle on the go.

Both of these are reasonably cheap, but the Barry M glitter (£2.99) tends to wear off pretty quickly. The Jack Wills one (£6.00) however is as good quality as Nails Inc, and lasts about three days chip free.

I painted my nails with my usual Nails Inc Basil Street base coat, then one coat of the Jack Wills Blue. The Barry M takes a few coats to build up to full glitter, but once you have finished I think it looks great.

Do you love glitter nail polishes in the winter? Can you recommend any good ones I should try?

Christmas!

Eeeek, it's that time of year again, the presents are getting wrapped, the advent calenders are slowly going down and the trees are going up. CHRISTMAS!

This is definitely my favourite time of the year, and this Saturday was no exception. The day started with a spot of Christmas shopping, before purchasing a brand new tree and fairy lights, digging out last years baubles and getting ready to put up the tree. I had the most perfect evening in, Chalet Girl on in the background with a Rekorderlig Winter Cider in one hand and copious amounts of wrapping paper and sellotape in the other.

As the days of December go on, the chocolate disappears from my advent calender and the presents mount up underneath the tree. 22 days to go!

 I got these brilliant embroidered stockings from a shop on eBay. They were a little smaller than I thought they would be - less room for stocking fillers :( - but nonetheless I think they're great. If anyone wants the link, please leave a comment below and I'll dig it out for you :)

Rekorderlig's winter cider is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone, I know they serve it warm in some bars but I'm not such a fan of warm drinks. If you're like me, pick up a bottle from your local supermarket and drink it chilled, it's like Christmas in a bottle.
