Tonight I was trying to sort out my make up bag ready for holibobs on Tuesday and I raided all of my bags on the hunt for one particular nail varnish that I wanted. (It was a stressful and messy experience!) In the process I gathered quite a few 'lost' varnishes and realised I had a fairly decent nail varnish collection.
(P.S. I apologise in advance for the terrible photo quality, my phone is awful.)
 I like to try out new nail varnishes and i'm not snobby about brands either as I unfortunately tend to chip it all off out of boredom most days! (Bad habit, I know.)
My all time favourite nail varnish make is Barry M, they do such a diverse range of colours that it's hard not to love them. I recently bought a selection of pastel colours which are cute for summer...
The yellow isn't my favourite as I don't like the 'textured' effect but the others are gorgeous. From the left: - TNP2 (Station Road) 
- 279 (Bright Pink)
- 304 (Mint Green)
-308 (Berry Ice Cream)
- 306 (Blueberry Ice Cream)
My other favourites are the bright blue and pink varnishes from Primark that I featured in my first blog  post, so I won't say much more about them!
These two beautys came from a beautiful Ted Baker cosmetics set at Christmas. The pink is very subtle and gives a perfect natural nail colour and after a couple of coats the gold gives a really decent amount of sparkle!
Finally the randoms! These are the varnishes I tend not to use a lot but they end up coming in useful. The 3 tubes on the right are nail art pens from Primark, great for spots and stripes (silver, gold and mint)
The yellow I bought after the Barry M one, it's from Seventeen and is Lemon Tart.
The blue nail varnish was from a Sally Hanson Extreme Wear set.
Lastly the black is from Collection 2000 and is called Liquorice. 
I hope that this has inspired you to dig out your nail varnish collection and see exactly what you've got! You might surprise yourself :)
Phew! I've finally been able to relax this weekend :)
I've had a rather hectic weekend; after work on Friday I had an hour to be ready to get up to Brighton for a night out...Panic stations! (It was a nightmare, especially as my face just did not want to stop sweating.) This is what I ended up looking like, which tbh i'm quite proud of:
Tried to go for a dark red lip and live outside the box a little! (Barry M)
Also my flower crown is from http://instagram.com/summer_crown
After trawling the shops during the week I managed to find this little beauty to wear from New Look;
I absoloutely loveee it! It's super bright and summery whilst not being too short or see through :)
 Really enjoyed my night out in Brighton and did a hell of a lot of dancing which equalled very sweaty hair! However it came in useful the next day when I went out to Crayford dogs as I just sprayed and scrunched!
My gorgeous top was from http://www.spoiledbrat.co.uk in the sale :)
Overall I had a super fun Friday and Saturday and today my bf managed to find this gem in a charity shop...
 Perfect!
 

 
I thought I would do a 'what's inside my makeup bag' post. I like to keep things minimal and struggle with change, so it's pretty simple!
Inside:
  • Hoola bronzer by Benefit
  • Boi-ing concealer by Benefit
  • Thick and fast mascar by Soap and Glory
  • Sexy mother pucker lipgloss by Soap and Glory
  • Eyebrow pencil by Rimmel
  • Cream eyeshadow by Ted Baker
  • Deep red lipstick by Barry M
  • 'Beatnik' lipstick by Topshop 
I am also using Rimmel's tranlucent powder as a base at the moment.
 I'm looking to buy a new foundation and eyeliner whilst on holiday in Florida soon so hopefully my bag will be upgraded!

I really have to reccommend all of these products! They really do the job and turn my zombie face into something acceptable!
