Nude Nails

NYC Expert Last Nail Polish

In Carrie'd Away

Nude nails are a trend for me, that will never go out of fashion. Its almost like your nails, but better. 

For spring this year, i wanted to find a nude that's light and with a pink/peachy undertone. 

This one from NYC is my idea of 'nude nail' heaven. Its ideal for everyday and is a great addition to pull together any outfit.

As far as the formula goes, The expert last range does exactly what it says. It claims to last for up to 10 days, but for me it lasts on my nails for roughly a week. Once dried it leaves a slight glossy finish. However, i always like to follow with a top coat.

The only bad thing i would about this colour in particular is that it takes a good 3 coats in order to achieve an opaque colour.

I would definitely recommend this polish if you are looking for a nude polish for spring.

You can purchase it from superdrug here for £2.49

Lazy Days Tip #2

Dry Shampoo

This has to be one of the oldest lazy day tricks in the beauty bible. On those days were your hair needs a bit of a refresh but you cant really be bothered to wash it, Simply spritz a dry shampoo through the roots of your hair and brush it through. You can also use it to boost the volume of your do.

This one from Umberto Gianini is my current fave. It doesn't leave a grey residue like some others and smells amazing. You can buy it at boots here for £6.00.

This Month I Have Been Loving- January Favorites

Ted Baker notebook

This is the cutest little notebook i think i have ever bought! I write in it 24/7. I mainly use it to jot down blog ideas, but i also like writing down my fave recipes too.

Real techniques buffing brush

I use this brush literally every single day to apply my foundation. I love te finish it gives and it blends amazingly. Its a diverse brush too so you could also use it for powders e.t.c.

Body shop room spray in pomegranate & raspberry

I usually spritz this all around my room when i first get up in the morning. It has a citrus undertone and makes me feel wide awake and energized.

Rimmel matte finish top coat

I have been experimenting with my nails recently and rediscovered this lovely product. I love that it almost instantly can transform your nail polish and give it a whole new look.

Collection cream puff in fairy cake

I really love these lip creams. Because of the matte finish they can sometimes be quite drying, so i like to pair it with a clear gloss or balm.

Nivea lip butter in caramel cream

Omg... I wear this lip balm all day, everyday. It smell like the most amazing sweets you have ever come across and feels so lovely and creamy. I love it so much, i have one for my bag, one in my make up collection and one by my bed!

Soap & Glory body wash in sugar crush

This body wash is my all time fave for the mornings. I'm more of a bath in the evening kind of person, however i do sometimes like to have a quick shower first thing in the morning. This is defiantly the perfect body wash for that.
