Current favourites: nail edit staples

I have really been taking the time, recently to do my nails and wanted to share a few current favourites with you. 

I love nail varnish and have a pretty good collection but sometimes I honestly don't have the time.

Recently however. I have been taking those 10-15 minutes to just chill out, choose a colour and clear my mind as they dry.

Neutral tones and grungey feeling nails are an all year round favourite.
These have been my go to choices.

Current favs:

Barry M picks:

Grey and Blue from the Barry M classic range

Barry M is one of my absolute favourite affordable nail companies.

They always have large range of colours and finishes to choose from.

They also seem to last forever, I have had one nail varnish from their classic range for 10 years and it still perfect- no word of a lie. I t has only recently been replaced.

MUA pick:

Midnight is a really pretty metallic shade and only costs £1. 

MUA is a very trend led brand with a very low price point.

So it is great for checking out new colours without having to spend too much.

Essie pick:

Vested Interest  Is a really striking greyish toned teal green.

Essie is another brand that is of great quality and has excellent colour ranges.

The tones are always pretty cool.
They can be a little pricey but shopping online or going to TK Maxx like I did can save your a fair bit of money.

OPI pick:

OPI Brazil Collection - I Sao Paulo Over There

This is such a stunning colour and just adds something to an outfit, as well as making your hands look beautiful.

It is totally an understated statement colour.
Again OPI Can be pricey so look around. 

I also found this in TK Maxx for £2.99 or £3.99 saving over £7.

Primark pick (In Stores)

019 At 80p this is the cheapest polish in my edit.
 The colour appears a little different in the bottle.
Which is what attracted my attention but it is a pretty deep petrol denim colour.

Kiko picks:

226 Rouge Noir, 508 Rose Sand and 317 Dark Antique Pink from the Kiko nail lacquer range.

Kiko is one of those undercover cult beauty brands, that totally deserve the hype.

They have very affordable items that rival and surpass much bigger brands.

I will however say that without a top coat 317 does chip after a day or 2.
However it is still such a pretty neutral blush colour in real life.

What colours are you reaching for?

AW15: Basic style staples

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year.
The gorgeous hues and tones that are emerging from nature are beautiful to behold and so visually inspiring.

I love the variety of pieces that you can wear and how you can style them.
I am really into textured layering at the moment and this is the perfect season to do it and these pieces will definitely be my back drop/ mood board for the coming months.

As I mentioned in previous posts.
I am really into shopping my wardrobe, so these are some of my favourite bits to throw on and hit the road. Or possibly plough precariously through the fog!

Primark grey basic jersey long line cardigan (Boohoo alternative)

Primark black chunky cleated boots (Public Desire alternative)

ASOS maroon wide brim fedora (ASOS alternative & alternative)

Matalan grey faux fur gilet (Matalan alternative)

ASOS mixed metal boyfriend watch (alternative)
Oversized Tartan Scarf as seen in my Autumn style: Tartan and plaid scarves post (eBay)

Orange obsession

I have become quite taken with anything that is a shade of the l'orange grande. Lipsticks, blushes, fabrics, jumpers, shirts, dresses anything and everything. I have raided my dresser and wardrobe for my orange inspiration pieces to cheer myself up. What with the great British weather swinging between sunshine, gale force winds and savage rains it is time to make my own sunshine state! All shades of orange welcome (except tango tan-tastics no but really my eyes bleed) lol.

Pay day spring /summer fashion mood board

What better way to treat yourself  for being fierce, fabu and bossy? This is pretty much what I am feeling this month. I have already bought a few as my staples for the next couple of months. I am a little too happy that all of these are affordable and are very wearable bits and bobs.

I really love accessories and statement peices that can transform an outfit and are transferable from day tonight etc. They are also good if you are on a budget as nothing on here is above £50 and some are on sale!

I have a thing where I mix and match my clothes all year round so I will rock all my stuff together. It might be laziness but that's how I do and it also means I have a bigger style collection to work with.

  The colours, textures and patterns really speak to me plus it screams a big fuck you to the rubbish weather we are having in London (apart from today randomly).

Top tip: set yourself a budget for your season must haves, after statement buys purchase accessories. Unless your a student then spend, spend, spend and then eat miso soup for a month lol
