This post is the second part of my festive nail series where first of all I showed you my favourite Newlook festive nail polishes, today I'm going to show you my favourite festive nail polishes from other brands.
Starting with one of my all time favourite nail vanish brands Barry M I have two polishes that are perfect for this season. The first is called Amethyst Glitter which I can't seem to find anywhere which is such a shame but I know there will be a load of glitter nail polishes in the shops this season so you wont miss out. This is a spitting image of Multi by Newlook but the partials inside are a little bit more smaller so they might be a little easier to work with if you have quite small nails. The other Barry M shade is this gorgeous vibrant glittery gold which is so gorgeous and is such high quality. All Barry M nail vanish are great quality but this gold really packs a punch, this polish can be used by itself I just usually do one coat and then top it up after it has dried to really make it stand out. It is also a bright gold shade so it would suit any gold jewellery you were wearing. I am so in love with this shade.
Another brand which is amazing for nail polishes is Models Own which like Barry M you can find in most Boots or Superdrugs and has a huge range of polishes. I have two glitter polishes by them which are amazing, I find with most glitter polishes they last seriously long compared to normal polishes and these two are no different. The first is a bright blue aqua shade called Aqua Splash and is very unusual which is why I like it. This might be a little out there for everyday use but during the Christmas time if you have a gorgeous aqua blue dress this polish would look lovely with it. The other polish is a glitter black with super small silver glitter mixed all in plus slightly larger silver glitter octagons.
This month I haven't changed up my skincare or make up routine much meaning that I don't have many new favourites, anywhooo I do have a few items that I have been loving as well as the products I mentioned last month.
I have 5 beauty items and 4 random items so I'm just going to get straight into it...
Maybelline NY volume express turbo boast mascara
I bought this on feel unique at the beginning of the month after I sorted through my eye makeup pot and realised that most of the mascaras I had, I have had for quite some time so I threw all my olds ones away. Resulting in me have two mascaras which is just not enough! I've never used a bad product of Maybelline (so far) so I saw this one on the website and bought it.
It is a really good mascara, really good at giving my eyelashes some lift and great for laying up to make big lashes. My eye lashes never clump when I use this mascara and I previous said in My 'Go To' favourite make up items post that Rimmel Volume Flash Mascara in 001 Black was my favourite mascara, but this mascara is definitely much better! I find my Rimmel mascara does start to clump on my lashes now whereas with the Maybelline mascara I don't have this problem.
H&M 'Sweet Rose' blusher
I've been constantly wearing this blusher that I bought on the H&M website, it is such a lovely colour on my skin and doesn't look too much on my bare skin if I'm having a foundation free day. Considering it is only £3 I think it is a bargain and such a good product for its price.
Beauty UK Silver Glitter nail polish
This glitter nail polish has been my saviour this month! Like I've said before, working in a clothes shop ruins your nails especially if its sale season. So my nails have been looking really dry, cracked and broken. This nail polish has been great at covering my nails when they are looking really bad and because of the glitter effect, it doesn't matter that much if it chips off, whereas it would be majorly obvious if it was just a block colour.
FCUK Pure shower scrub
I have been living off this scrub this month for two reasons 1. I need to use it up so I can start using some new products and 2. It is really good at getting rid of dry flakey skin, it is rough enough to get rid of any horrible dry skin but it isn't too rough that it hurts when you use it. Its really been good at getting rid of my dry skin.
L'Oreal Paris Studio Silk and Gloss heat protector cream
This serum has been great at protecting my hair this month and it makes my hair so soft and shiny! People have been telling me all month my hair looks so healthy so it must be working!
My Made Fat Diary
If you haven't seen this show before then you are missing out big time! It is so funny and relatable to teenagers (like I'm not 20 in less than a month...) Rae, the main character tackles all the issues we think we're alone in dealing with like letting a boy see you naked for the first time (we're all been there before, never a easy thing). Plus the boys in it are sooooo cute! I love Finn and Archie :)
One Day and Leap Year (films)
One Day is a real tear jerker, I start crying before I'm even meant to because I know whats coming. I recommend everyone go watch it as it is such a good film, It is such a good more realistic love story and it gets to me every time.
Leap Year is more of a chick flick with a cute love story which is really funny, and the main lead is a quirky, cute Irish hunk ;) If your not attracted to the Irish accent already, you will be by the end!
And these are my February favourites :)
What do you guys think of the products and films?
Do you have anything to recommend for me?
