Review: Maybelline New york 'Color Show' Nail Polish.

One of my recent purchases has been the new 'Color Show' nail polish by Colorama- Maybelline, and I'm really glad I bought it!


The reason I was looking to buy a new nail polish to add to my collection was because I wanted something new for my new job. Also a colour that would help me feel empowered and reinforce that I can try new things. So the shade 349 Power Red- perfect. The price was great for my student pockets, a very efficient £2.99. Could not say no.
I was definitely not let down either. The coulour only needed a base, one coat and maybe a clear top coat to prevent chipping, depending on your personal preference.




It glided on very easily, the colour was very strong and bright, which was just what I was looking for to make a good impression in work, I would thoroughly recommend you to buy this! My only con is that I wish I bought so many more colours.

#1 Tuesday Trend's I'm Loving

Working in retail has really opened up my eye to how often stock and trends change and mix up. It's incredible to find out and learn what fashion pieces and staples that you (the customer) purchase regularly.

(all above from selectfashion)

This month I have been seeing a lot of Aztec based pencil skirts, monochrome, tie-dye and disco. With all this warm weather brightly coloured Aztec maxi's and crop tops are a popular seller. Alongside two strap sandals and plimsolls, I am definitely investing in a bold skirt and nude sandals to help my legs look longer!
Also Select are embracing the Disco trend, which is a mix of bright, figure huggging disco pants a la 1970's. Also I have recently seen lots of eye-catching a power emitting tiger prints on tasseled and cropped tee's. Which I have fallen dearly for, teamed with washed out denim shorts, bundles of chunky bangles, a tan bag + sandals and sandals (with ankle straps)- it would be the perfect beach outfit this summer.

Monday Moment #1

(We took advantage of the photo booths)

Monday moments can always be a day filled with tired eyes, moaning and obviously the Monday blues. But being the first day of the working week (Yes, Sunday is the START of the week of course, but that's still counted as part of the weekend right?!) Mondays can mold and shape how you feel and how the rest of the week pans out.

So I'm hoping to form a habit of making Monday a positive day and sharing that with you.
Today was the perfect day to start, it was lovely and sunny and me, my sister and dad went for some retail therapy and a cheeky McDonalds (not exactly healthy but hey-ho). 
So basically you guys should all try and get out and about when it's sunny, given Britain's slight disposition regarding the weather there is all the more reason to take advantage- slip, slap, slop, the sun cream and soak some rays- it's been proven that the sun boosts levels of serotonin - the body's natural happy hormone, and increases our absorption of Vitamin D! 

This is my little pooch Ted, he even has is own Twitter for you to follow haha!

My sister bought this purse from Domo Bags, I absolutely love the aboriginal print and bold red colour.
