White is the new black this spring and what better way to wear it than on your nails?  I've never really been convinced on the white nail look as I think it can look quite washed out (and as it's such a bold colour you have to have the perfect mani!) However, recently I have been  gravitating towards them more but I still haven't found the perfect polish so maybe you could give me a couple of recommendations... 

On my nails is the Maybelline Colour Show Nail Polish in Winter Baby (£2.99) - this is quite a milky, white colour and not as opaque as I was expecting it to be. I painted three coats and you can still slightly see my nail through the polish, making it quite time consuming! But it did not leave streak marks which I definitely didn't want. The consistency isn't at all gloopy and I can easily do the 'one stroke' like Essie nail polishes. Once I had given myself the time for this mani, it ended up looking really lovely (my trick is to leave a clean gap between your cuticle and polish,) very glossy and looks long lasting too! 

Even though I love the look of my white nails I am still on the hunt for the perfect white polish. 

What are your thoughts on white nails?

I decided I would write a quick survey asking you - readers of my blog what you'd like to see in upcoming posts. It will only take 2 minutes and gives you the chance to request some posts! Also I won't be able to post this week due to being away for the whole weekend but will have loads for the month of April! 

You can access the survey here, Thank you for filling it in!

Usually  I don't have enough time to do a full face of makeup so it's more of a get it on and go sort of thing. My makeup evolves around the no makeup-makeup look which always helps when you want to lay in bed that extra 5 minutes. These are the trusty products that make me not look like a zombie but actually presentable in the morning. 

I start off by evening out my skin-tone to get rid of any redness. For the days where I don't want to be faffing around with makeup brushes and making sure I have the right coverage, I tend to use a bb cream. The one which I use is the Maybelline Dream Pure bb cream, I find that it works really well to give a light base, but as it doesn't cover everything I like to go in with my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. It masks all my under eye circles and pesky spots. However it does tend to look a bit cakey so I would definitely recommend to apply as little as possible. Finally, I like to set everything with a powder (I'm currently trying out the Natural Collection powder) so nothing slides around throughout the day.

For my eyes I like to keep it simple and usually don't bother with eyeshadow. A quick curl of my lashes, a good coating of mascara (Maybelline the Falsies) and a brown eyeliner (Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl in brown) in my water-line. This makes my eyes look a bit more wide awake well close anyway! I then like to go in with a pink lip colour (Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake) or just a tinted lip balm (Baby Lips in Cherry Me) to add some colour into my face. If I have that extra time I will add even more glow using the Soap & Glory Glow all out powder and the look is done!

How do you do your makeup when in a rush?
What blog posts would you like to see?

Sunday has rolled around the corner too quickly this week, why can't it be Saturday everyday? Today I'm having a bit of a lazy day and might be re-designing some parts of my blog. However that is irrelevant to today's post which is of course a lovely array of this weeks most loved products.  I only have three things to show you but they are all amazing!

I'll begin with body care which I definitely have a love for! I've been using the Body Shop Mango Body Scrub (£12.50) for quite some time now, I haven't seen a difference in smoothness of skin but I love how gentle the grains are. It effortlessly melts and turns into a oil like consistency which I then can just rub into my skin.

I had never really tried this brand but I have suddenly been loving it! It's the Lipfusion Infatuation Liquid Shine Lipgloss  ($29 for full size) . That's a mouthful! I have mine in first crush which is like a dark nude which for me is my lips but better. It has amazing pigmentation but doesn't feel sticky at all! However the tube does get very messy!

Last on my list is Malava Pure Diamond Nail Polish (£4.50). It's definitely safe to say I'm always seen wearing this nail polish over any colour! Well I am a sucker for a good glitter nail polish. It has flecks of green, blue and purple which bounce of the light like a disco ball! See it in use here.

Have you tried any of these products?

Matte nail varnishes are a trend that I have always loved and when Topshop released their collection I instantly wanted to pick some up. There are fifteen nail polishes so far ranging from pastels to bright colours. The ones I have to show you are Easy Peasy, Dress Up and Drink Pink. 

You apply these polishes like any other using a basecoat with two colour coats but obviously excluding the topcoat for the matte effect. Or you can add a glitter top coat to give shine and some prettiness! The nail polish claims to have extra long wear with a lasting smooth, matte finish.

I have to say the polish is semi-matte with just a little bit of shine compared to other matte nail varnishes. The texture is really nice and smooth with a kind of velvet feel to them. The application was very easy like any other Topshop nail polish with the thin to medium brush. These are the perfect polishes for any emergency's as they dry so quickly and you only need about two coats to get an opaque colour.

Even though this nail polish chips slightly I love all the colours and I need to get more! Overall I am really impressed with these as they are a high street brand and for £6 you can't really complain.

Are you a fan of Topshop nail polishes? Let me know what you think of the shades!
