♡ ♡ Nail of the Day; Disco Lilac ♡ ♡

Hello everyone.
I haven't done a nail related post in ageeeees so I thought I'd share newly discovered nail combination that I absolutely adore and can see myself constantly wearing it for the next few weeks.


No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Lucky Lilac 50
Essence Nail Art Special Effects Topper in Disco Disco 11

I am absolutely in love with this combo at the moment, I've never really been a fan of glitter on my nails but I am in looove with the Essence Topper. The chunky silver glitter looks lovely over the No7 pastel lilac and I assume it'll look nice over any shade. It's a really nice quality polish, dries quickly and has a beautiful iridescence. 
I actually won the essence polish in the lovely Eyelyn's give-away recently so sorry UK followers, it's not available here *sigh*. I'm sure there are lots of similar top coats around though.

There will be lots of skin-care and hair-care reviews coming soon so look out for them!

What's your favourite nail combo? What's your go-to brand of nail polish?

'Til Next Time,

☮ LOTD | Etsy #1 ☮


Hello everyone.
If you'd like to know what LOTD is then read Louise's post here or mine here


I'm so sorry I missed yesterday's LOTD. It was a video one, which I found pretty tricky, but I went shopping in the afternoon with my mum and then felt not-so-great when I got home so I decided to cuddle up on the sofa and feel sorry for myself for the rest of the evening!

Anyway, I loooove Etsy and was very excited when I found out that Sunday's LOTD will be featuring it. It's a website (a bit like eBay) which offers a platform for sellers who make their own handmade products or sell vintage products. It's really lovely and you can find some lovely unique little items on there, and some perfect gifts.


I was scrolling through Etsy for the first time in a few weeks wondering what to feature, I looked at candles and bedding and jewellery but then I came across this! This item is a little lilac dinosaur plant pot for succulent plants. As soon as I saw this my inner-child was let loose. When I was little I was obsessed, literally obsessed with dinosaurs and I still have little thing for them especially since they make me feel all nostalgic. I have a few dinosaurs lounging around my room from my childhood which I now use to hang jewellery on. The obsession will never end. I love how this item is lilac and I have some cacti in my room that would look perfect in one of these. I think one of these would jazz up my desk!

Join the fun at Sprinkle of Glitter! And read Louise's post here.

Do you love Etsy? Or dinosaurs? (tehe)
