Day One vs Day Five (Colour Sultry Sorrento)

Collection Solar Shine Polishes are my favourite nail polishes by far! I only wear these colours in rotation.

The perfect size brush which makes painting your nails easy. All the colours are bold with only two coats and the top coat dries quickly within half an hour. I love this as I am the worse of smudging my nail polish! Normally reaching for food! I do love and own most of the colours, except for a bright green (called Jungle Fever) which is not for me. They are all from the same vain with Mauve Haze and Dreaming Daze being very similar. Probably didn’t need both but I had to collect them all! I would like to see a wide variety of colours such as a bright red and a nude. Maybe even a glitter nail polish. The finish is shiny and was mistaken for being gel by one of my colleagues.

I have never had a nail polish last so long on my nails! I hate chipped nail polish so have to take it off once its chipped. I have taken a photo of my hand on day one and on day five to compare. As you can see hardly any chips just one on the middle nail.

At only £3.98 each, they are an absolute bargain!

What is your favourite nail polish brand and colour?

Love,

Food Friday's LSE Garrick Cafe

Every Friday, I treat myself to lunch out. Not only do I get to explore different places to eat but also it's nice to get outside on my lunch break.  So, I wanted to do a weekly post about where I eat and what I eat.  Today I went to eat at LSE Garrick Café. I have gone here a few times as it is often quieter than other parts cafes in London. LSE Garrick cafe as you would suspect is popular with students but is open to the general public. They offer delicious salads, gluten free cakes, cakes, pastries and teas. The café has large windows which not only make the place light and airy but also makes the perfect spot for people watching! A guilty pleasure of mine. I had planned to walk around afterwards but sadly it was chucking it down with rain. Today I had a: Sweet Chilli Salmon Salad, Gluten Free Bakewell Cake Slice and a Peppermint tea.  Costs: £8:20 Where is your favourite place to eat and what do you have?  Love,  E.x 

Advice to University Freshers Students

Congratulations to those who have received your A-Level result today. You made it! I hope you achieved what you wanted. If not you should still be proud of what you achieved as you worked incredibly hard. Though it sounds cheesy, it is true that everything happens for a reason, even if you can't see that reason now. I still remember my A-level results day. I didn't sleep at all the night before as I was so nervous! I got the grades to get into my first choice University, I was thrilled. Being the only one awake in my house, I ran upstairs to my Mum who was asleep in bed and woke her up to tell her! Then sat on her bed crying tears of happiness and relief. Before I get started on my advice for Freshers, I wanted to highlight that University is not the only option in life. Some people flourish better in a work environment than they do in an academic environment.  Research all your options and do what feels right for you. I know schools, a least from my experience and th...

The Low Maintenance Girl: Morning and Evening Skincare Routine

Welcome to part two of my first trilogy, The Low Maintenance Girl (yay!). Don't forget to check out part one for my low maintenance haircare routine . Here is my simple yet effective skincare routine for the low maintenance girl. I would describe my skin as a combination with the occasional hormonal breakout. All I want is clear skin!  In the morning I use No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser and my No7 facial brush. The cleanser is liquid in the bottle and comes out as a foam which can only be explained by magic! I move the facial brush over my face in circular motions. Before washing off the cleanser with a flannel soaked in warm water. This leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft and removes any excess oils. I then finish with Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day cream which has a light fragrance, sinks in quickly (I can almost feel my skin drinking up the hydrating goodness) and has SPF 15 to protect my skin from the sun. In the evening ...
