Topshop Nails

Hiiiiiii! I hope you all had a lovely New Years! I had some friends over and we had pizza and played twister, all the usual things for 16 year olds ;) so one of my absolute favourite nail trends right now is chrome! I love it! I think it's a perfect alternative to glitter if you want something a little extra special and when it comes to chrome nail polish, Topshop is really on point. I adore the packaging of Topshop makeup with the doodle polka dots- super trendy and sophisticated. Here are my 3 favourites, I don't know what the names are though because it's not on the bottle and you can't tell which ones which on the website so sorry guys :( Topshop nail polishes are £6 which is very reasonable, especially because they're so long lasting and come in some really beautiful, unique shades.


My favourite chrome shade is the gold/olive green shade! The colour looks different in different lights and angles which is a really lovely effect.


I have some other shades from the Topshop range too, my personal favourite being the bright, electric blue in the middle (I think it's called AWOL, but don't hold me to that!).


Have you guys ever tried Topshop nail polishes? If so, let me know which shades because I'm looking to expand my collection ;)

Happy New Years everybody :)

Tiny Asos Haul

Hi guys! I haven't done a haul in forever (and that's not through a lack of shopping) haha! Last week, it was 20% off at ASOS and since it's free delivery, I thought it would be the ideal time to pick up a few beauty bits I've had my eye on.


Bourjois Happy Light Foundation 51 Porcelain Rose
After I saw vivianna does makeup review this new release from bourjois, I knew it was meant to be! Unfortunately, my local boots and Superdrug are very small and don't always stock the full range of products so I thought I better take my chance whilst I had it and order it from ASOS. I don't normally like dewy finish foundations, but recently my skin has improved a lot, probably because I'm eating better and drinking a lot more water, and it seems to be less oily so I can get away with lighter coverage foundations. Also, in the winter my skin can look very dry and dull so I am excited to try this product and see if it gives me the glowing finish it promises!

Bourjous Bronzing Primer
I was really intrigued by this products, a mouse bronzing primer, because there aren't really very many available apart from the Chanel one, which is a little bit out of my price range. So when I saw this drugstore alternative, I couldn't resist trying it out. I'm not sure if I will put this under or over my foundation or what application method will be best, but I can't wait to give it a go :)

Barry M Glitter Nail Polish Yellow Topaz
This one is a bit of a no brainer, I have loads of fancy glitter polishes, but I really wanted a simple gold/silver glitter to use over any colour and for £2.99 with a further 20% discount you really can't go wrong with Barry M and the formula of these polishes is incredible, especially for the price.

Do you guys have any advice on how to apply the bronzing primer? Any help would be very appreciated!
