Guest-ober is over!


Hello and happy Halloween! 
I hope you have all enjoyed my guest-posts this month as much as I have!
Unfortunately it's now over but I shall have a think what other month I can put Guest in front of and definitely do this again! 
I thought I'd take the time to thanks all the lovely ladies that helped me out this month and tell you all about why I am a regular reader of all their blogs :)


Helen is a Journalism student just like me and her blog is full of her amazing OOTD's, every single time I see one of her posts, I end up wanting to buy the whole outfit! She is such a profesh blogger, with regular posts, constant Twitter updates and this has meant that her blog is successful, and more importantly, trusted by her loyal followers. So I'm sure you already have, but if you haven't go and follow her blog, you will not be disappointed!


Laura's blog is one of the first blogs I ever followed! She writes really good reviews and I love her Nail art posts. She recently did some Halloween nails which were soooo cute, and I admire anyone with a steady enough hand to do nail art! I was so glad that she chose to do her Winter Nail Polish picks on my blog as it was really exciting for me to read as well as you guys! 




She is my name twin! Georgia's is a blog I regularly read because it has the perfect mixture of Beauty and Lifestyle. She writes such good product reviews but also mixes it up with lifestyle post which is a really nice way to get to know the blogger! I loved her skincare guest post, she wrote in so much depth about each product, I really felt like I learnt a lot! 


Every time Vanessa comments on my blog, or I get an email from her it makes me smile! She always seems so happy and excitable! Her blog is the same, she is a multi-talented lady who posts about food, outfits, organisational tips and her wedding Flower business! Her blog is always exciting whatever it is she's posting about, so go and take a look!


To round off the month of Guest posting we had Clare tell us the current trends that she was loving, liking and just not getting! Her blog is exactly what it says on the tin, a bit of beauty a bit of fashion a bit of lifestyle and I really enjoy that variety! I like the way she writes and whatever the post is about, it's always interesting! So do go and check out her blog too :)

So that's all for now, thanks to all these lovely ladies! I hope you've enjoyed reading their posts this month :)

Guest-ober 2 | Laura's All Made Up


Hello! 
I was super happy when I received a message asking if I would
like to do a guest post on this blog. So thank you Georgia :) 
Any of you who do already read my blog will know that I LOVE nail varnishes! 
So I just had to include them in my post. Hope you like it... 

So now Autumn is here, Winter will be just around the corner.
Frosty mornings, nights in by the fire, Ugg boots & winter coats, not to mention all 
the festivities, including Bonfire Night and of course Christmas!
Personally I love the A/W seasons, and the fashion and colours that come with it.
So I wanted to share with you my top 5 nail colours for winter...

Nails Inc - Reeves Mews 032
This is probably the brightest shade out of my top 5. 
I picked this colour because it is similar to the colour of our Christmas Tree.
I would describe it as a light Teal shade. The formula is thick and applies well to 
the nails, giving opaque coverage with as little as one coat! 
This was part of my the Nails Inc Catwalk Collection which I posted here.
This retails for around the £11 mark, similar to all Nails Inc polishes.

MUA - Frozen Yoghurt 
I bought this as soon as it was released on MUA's website. 
It's a pretty lilac-blue shade. Although I'm not too sure why it's called
Frozen Yoghurt? I've never seen a lilac yoghurt.
Unfortunately the MUA nail polish brushes aren't the best, so you 
do have to put a good couple of coats of the polish on to get a good finish. 
But just look at the colour you end up with.. Definitely worth just £1! - Link

L'Oreal Colour Riche - You are worth it 617.
This gorgeous nude-grey shade reminds me of frost/ice/slush.
I'd never tried any L'Oreal polishes before this one, but I'm so glad I did!
I love the bottle, its almost like a miniature because it's so petite and slimline. 
But all this just adds to the sophisticated appearance.
This literally applies like a dream! With a wide, flat brush, opaque in just one coat! 
For me they are a little pricey at £4.99 each, but definitely worth it :)

No 7 - Violetta 70
This is a beautiful deep navy blue shade with purple undertones.
Everything about this polish is just luxurious and classy.
The thing I love most about the No7 polishes is that they glide on the nail so easily.
They have a wide, flat brush and an easy to hold bottle shape. 
You really would only need one coat of this to give the desired finish. 
Although they're a little pricey at £7, Boots occasionally do a £5 off No7 voucher.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Teal-y Fast
Once again, this polish reminds me of Christmas trees. 
This is a multi-tonal Teal colour with a metallic effect finish. 
It was released as part of the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fall Collection 2011.
It applies completely opaque with as little as one coat, similar to a lot of metallic polishes.
I love the shape of these bottles too. Available on Amazon for just £2.49!
