Essie Saltwater Happy

Introducing the most summery autumn purchase ever. I picked this gorgeous shade up in Duane Reade when I was over in New York and pop it on as soon as my previous paint job started chipping, I don’t care that it’s October and this is very clearly a summer shade. IT’S GORGEOUS.

The colour needed two coated to be completely opaque and fill in the streaks but lasts pretty well once on – I wore mine for a week with miner chipping.

If you can get your hands on this shade before it’s off shelves completely! If you think about it, it’s a great winter shade – an ice cool blue!

Top - H&M // Hat - Accessorize // Trousers - American Apparel 

Boots - Topshop // Nails - Essie Mint Candy Apple 

So I'm gonna try a new thing... work outfit posts. Having a lovely workmate who is also a blogger is super handy to take outfit posts for each other so hopefully if we can keep it up, there will be a few outfit posts up a week. (I mean, I'm gonna give it a good go). So from now on, pictures in any WIWTW posts (not a mouthful at all) will be taken by Sarah from The Fashion Ache. Check out her blog, it's amaze. 

N.B I don't know why my disco pants look purple. The light's weird. Blame the light.

My 5 Go To Summer Nail Shades.

Left to Right

Essie - Mint Candy Apple // Leighton Denny - I Love Juicy

Nails Inc - Ebury Bridge // Nails Inc - Westferry Circus

Rimmel Lycra Pro - 312 Ultra Violet

Everybody has their go to summer nail polishes don't they? The pastels and the neons that are perfect to accessorise bright, light summer clothes. Well these are mine...

Essie - Mint Candy Apple - The shade that everybody loves! Even though I can go for just one coat if I'm in a rush, two coats look best. It's a colour that I find looks different on ever skin tone. 

Leighton Denny - I Love Juicy - This is my only Leighton Denny and I got this shade ages ago when I was given it at Instyle magazine when I was there for work experience. It's kind of hard to apply evenly and you definitely need at least two coats, but once applied properly it's the most beautiful bright neon-y coral ever! 

Nails Inc - Ebury Bridge - This is probably my favourite blue nail polish from my little collection. It's such a weird blue though, because sometimes to me it looks like a milky blue with a hint of purple and other times it's like a lilac-y blue. Who knows! On a negative note though it chips like a mother-mother so it's definitely a two coat jobby.

Nails Inc - Westferry Circus - the above negative applies to this baby. I'm guessing same brand same formula. But on a more positive note this is the most gorgeous coral there is! I actually bought the set of minis this came in just for this colour (true story - I'm that weird). I have the cult Barry M coral Peach Melba but it's way too light for my skin colour to achieve the look I wanted. I actually think it made my hands look odd. but that may have just been me. 

Rimmel Lycra Pro - 312 Ultra Violet - Ahhh my favourite nail polish formula of all time! Rimmel Lycra Pro polishes glide on with ease and you really only need one coat with this colour. It's striking without being too bright, it's the best summer bright lilac, not too milky, not too dark.

Rimmel London Lycra Pro Nail Polish - 341 Chic and Chearful £4.59

Hey Lovelies,

I got this nail polish the other day, it’s the colour 341 Chic And Chearful and I love it, so I thought I’d blog about it!

The colour reminds me a bit of Essie Chinchilly, and the formula is really strong. It says that it lasts up to 10 days, a theory I didn’t test as I took it off after 4, but it lasted those 4 days without chipping (I wore two coats and a top coat), so thumbs up!

The brush is really wide and full, so it’s really quick to apply… can you tell I really like it?

Have you tried any of the Rimmel Lycra Pro Polishes?

Hey Dolls!

I wore this outfit on the weekend to my aunties wedding, I was absolutely dying to wear it so when the occasion came I couldn’t get it on quick enough.

This dress such a bargain; I got it in the Topshop sale and is by the brand Love, it was half price at £20! I love a good deal!

Because the dress was so bright I just paired it with black and gold accessories.

Did you nab anything amazing in the sales?
