NAIL ACCESSORIES/TOOLS
Cuticle pens (Body shop & Superdrug own), nail clippers, bobby pin, cotton buds.

e.l.f and Body shop toe seperators.

That's it so far. Obviously I have removers and cotton pads, but they're not exactly interesting. 

I'm not sure which are my favourites, as it depends what mood i'm in although I am loving the Max Factor polish at the moment. It chips really badly but it dries really quickly and the colour is amazing so i'll be getting more of those after Christmas. They do have a deal in Boots at the moment, if you spend over £15 and get a free gift :] was tempting but I have Christmas dinner to pay for yet... maybe after?

What's your favourite brand and/or nail colour? Any tips on the tools you use?

Merry Christmas xxxx

Little haul ♥

Today I went shopping with my boyfriend and bought crazy amounts of goodies...not all for me though!

Right, on with the haul!

First we went into CEX and I picked up a game (which is not really that interesting) and the first series of Pushing Daisies. I've always seen the adverts and thought it looks quite good and for £6 I thought i'd give it a go. Has anyone else seen it?

Next was New Look. I've recently been really disappointed with New Look, both in price and quality but these bits weren't too expensive so I didn't mind so much.
The following clothes are all from the Inspire range.

First thing I bought was the Pink Bubble top. I have one in black already which is a size up so I can wear it as a dress. Teamed with a black belt, leggings and cardigan, it works quite well, so I did the same with this and bought it in a size up so I can wear it as a dress! This was £6.99 which i think is quite reasonable, as it doesn't shrink in the wash and can be dressed up or down.

I then picked up an Aztec Racer top, which was in the sale for £8 instead of £19.99, which I didn't think was too bad.
Last thing from New look was a Dandelion dress. This wasn't in the sale but wasn't that expensive at £17.99. I was a bit worried when i tried it on that it wouldn't suit my figure, as it's very floaty and the black dress/slip underneath the sheer material is quite figure hugging but it was perfect!
Next was Superdrug and i'd heard about some nail polish on Youtube that gives a strange effect but they never seem to have it in my local branch! I managed to find it today though, it's the 'Petrol in Water' trio by Andrea Fulerton. I've heard some mixed opinions on this, so perhaps a review?Last shop was The Body Shop. Oh my... I spent waaaay too much as usual BUT I did have a '£10 off when you spend over £25' voucher and a further 10% off from my card. I bought more of their Rainforest Radiance Shampoo which at £4 for 250ml may be a little much but it does amazing things to your hair! I also bought the conditioner which was £6 for 400ml and to top it all off, I also picked up some more of the Rainforest Radiance Detangling Spray which was also £6 for 400ml. I really would recommend this collection for anyone with coloured hair, especially if its slightly dry.Body butter was next on my list and I was honestly only going to buy one, but they have a 'buy one get one half price' offer so thought WHY NOT. I have tried a number of these butters but only really like a handful so I just bought the Mango and the Grapefruit butter. Both are lovely and really moisturise your skin after a shower :)
Apologies for the long haul, but hopefully you enjoyed it!
