♡ Rimmel Metal Rush Nail Polish ♡

Top to Bottom - Pearly Queen layered over a pale pink, Pearly Queen alone, Royal Blue.

I had these lovely nail polishes for my birthday so I thought I would do a quick post on them as they are just so darn pretty and they are part of Rimmel's new A/W collection (and I kind-of wanted to try out my new nail wheels , how swish!)
I have the shades Royal Blue, a teal blue shade with a purple iridescence and Pearly Queen, a lilac pearl with a greeny iridescence. As you can see in the image above there are three shades swatched. I swatched Pearly Queen on top of a pale pink because its very sheer worn alone, you can't tell by the swatch but alone you can see the white tip of your nail beneath the polish (no matter how many coats) and I really don't like the look of it but as a top coat its really pretty.
I actually really love these polishes especially Royal Blue. The formula is really smooth which makes it really easy to get perfectly painted nails each time. The brush is also really wide which is something I look for when choosing polishes as I find it makes painting my nails quicker and easier.
I love the idea of these polishes that you can get a "two shades in one" kind-of look. When you move your nails back and forth the shades will switch, for example Royal Blue switches from teal to purple, which is why I think these polishes are extra special. I really want to get my hands on Purple Reign which is a berry shade.
I am also really liking the rest Rimmel's new A/W collection, I think they've really 'pulled it out of the bag'.

These polishes are just £3.99 (bargain!) and can be found at Boots.

What do you think of these polishes? Do you have/will you be getting some?

'Til Next Time,

My Christmas Wishlist so far! + a small update!

Well hello there, strangers. I'm so sorry at how absent I've been, and I've really missed blogging :( I've been totally swamped with school exams and revision and coursework, but everything is finished now until January so expect to be seeing me a lot more over the next few weeks! :-)  


and I thought I'd pop something a little more interesting than a short and simple update in this post, so I thought I'd share what I have my eye on for Christmas! 
1. Casio Digital Watch - Urban Outfitters - £30
2. Skull Ear Phones - Urban Outfitters - £15
3. Purple Velvet Corset - Topshop - £30

Wishful thinking I know, but just a few things I've been eyeing up over the past few days. What are you guys lusting over for Christmas?

And I'm on the look out for a nice winter coat, or parka but I can't seem to find any decent ones anywhere! If anyone could recommend any stores/websites etc that sell nice winter jackets/coats then that would be such a massive help! :-) 





'Til next time,

Topshop Wishlist for Autumn!



Just a quick post since I haven't updated in ages!
A few things that I'm lusting over for Autumn/Winter this year. I love the colours/patterns/styles and everything about clothes in Autumn so a shopping trip sometime soon is much needed! (Every item can be found at the Topshop website!)

Any requests on posts to do? Haul? Tutorial? Favourite beauty products? Anything :-) 

'Til next time,
