Big Hair Number 29

Okay, first things first - I've had a bit of a rushed week and with the sun going down mid afternoon these days my photography attempts last week were very weak.

Now, I know, I could take all my pictures on the weekend but in all honesty? That's not what this blog is about. I am not here to give you advice on fashion or make-up or anything. I'm just sharing my favourite stuff and that means, spare of the moment blogging. It's like grabbing my phone to text my BFF when a cute guy has just chatted me up in a bar. I don't wait until the lighting conditions are better to text "OMG OMG OMG" right?

(Note: I'm married. The text would probably be toned down a little!! ;-) hah)

So, I will only semi-apologise for the photos below as I do realise, they are a bit rubbish as I took them in the evening but hey, at least you'll know what this nail varnish will look like when you go out! :D

So, in today's post I am looking at my new favourite red friend! Let me introduce to you, Collection 2000's Hot Looks Fast Dry "Big Hair" (Number 29) nail varnish:

I've met him on my recent trip to Boots and fell in love ... I don't normally wear red nail polish. In fact, I think this is pretty much the first one I bought.It looks really nice. It's not too sticky, not too runny and does indeed dry fast.

Two layers of this pretty shade of red later and this was the result:

I think I should have applied a third layer but I was a little tired. It literally took less than a minute to dry and it lasted for a good 2 days. Mind you, I scrape my nail polish off or bite it off when I'm nervous or concentrating so a normal person can probably go a good 3-4 days without having to re-apply!

Right, this is it for now -  have a nice week my lovelies!

Some freebies...

Okay, as you could see from my previous post, I like free stuff. Well, some of my favourite beauty & fashion mags have been including little gifts with their publications lately. Glamour, Marie Claire, Red and Elle all had a little freebie included and although I missed out on the Glamour Benefit make-up edition I have managed to grab a copy of the other ones.

Marie Claire's current issue included a lovely shade of Ciate nail polish. I absolutely LOVE this pale pink colour and have worn it all week! I adore pastels, what can I say? :o)

Red magazine included this amazing mascara by Jemma Kidd in their July issue. I have tried it and it's really lovely. No lumpy residue and it definitely adds volume to your lashes. Gorgeous treat!

Elle Magazine included a fab Reiss vest top in their July issue - now this was unfortunately a bit of a disappointment for me because I would estimate that it's a UK size 4, which unfortunately I am not... so I can't do much with it.

Have a great evening and enjoy the week my lovelies!
