Barry M Hot Pink Nails

This Limited Edition Barry M Summer Nail Polish is just what the doctor ordered for my nails, it doesn't seem to have a name but it's a gorgeous Barbie hot pink that's perfect for those of us who are desperately trying to hold onto the last few days of summer and since I recently had my little boy nails transformed with the help of some acrylic I went out looking for some new nail polishes and this one immediately caught my eye. I love bright colours on my nails and this is definitely bright, I won't lie its not the best nail polish I've ever used and definitely not up to the usual Barry M standards. It's not very opaque and dries slightly matte but once you've applied a good few coats and a top coat (I applied Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat over the top which adds a great long lasting shine) it is a great summer colour and looks especially good with a tan (real or fake!).

Favourite Lipsticks

Hey guys,
Lipsticks are probably my favourite make-up product to buy, I love to wear them with just a basic make-up (foundation, powder, bronzer, bit of blush and mascara) to add a pop of colour and make the look a bit less bland, my make-up doesn't feel complete without something on my lips! So I thought I'd share with you 4 of my most reached for lipsticks, 2 summer colours and 2 autumn colours as the summer months are on the way out sadly.

1. MAC Impassioned - This is a vibrant pink that definitely adds a pop of colour to your look, this looks especially nice with black winged liner on the upper lash line or nothing on the eyes at all except some mascara which at college was my go to look almost every day.

2. L'Oreal Colour Riche Magnetic Coral - As I mentioned in a previous post this is probably my favourite colour for summer! It is a beautiful coraly orange colour and looks amazing with almost any look, I wear this during the day with only some mascara on the eyes or at night with a bronze smokey eye. On holiday I wore this colour almost every night with a dark smokey eye, it doesnt make you look as over done as a red lip could look with such heavy eye make up it just ties your look together perfectly.

3. Rimmel Starry-eyed - This wine coloured lipstick is exactly what I think of when I think of autumn make-up. It is a slightly bold colour but once you work up the courage to wear it you'll never look back, this with a winged liner and some strong cheek contour is a beautiful  but edgey look perfect for the autumn months.

4. Rimmel Kate Moss 01 - This deep red is a beautiful autumn colour and reminds me of Christmas! This shade looks best with a winged liner or smudged kohl liner on the upper and lower lash line, keep it simple. I don't have much more to say about this lipstick (mental block) other than I love it!

Here are some swatches...
