Barry M matte nail varnish review!

Yesterday I went to Exeter with my two friends to get our nails done! It was he first time I had gotten acrylic nails so the whole process was completely new to me. I am awful with my nails and have bitten them ever since I can remember so having long nails is something I'm getting used to! The colour I decided to have painted on was by O.P.I and although I do not know the exact colour it is very similar to Malaga Wine! But anyway I'm getting away from the point of this post! The reason I just told you that little story is because now that I have nice long nails I can paint them! I already had two of the Matte Barry M nail varnishs at home (Espresso and Crush) which I normally painted on my toe nails and so I decided to buy the other ones too!


My first nail varnish happened to be a Barry M number (however it was luminous green and kind of resembled sick) but none the less I have loved the brand ever since then, especially in the recent years that they have released special nail varnishes such as their chameleon and sprinkle looks! As some of you may know, in the last few months matte nails have been bang on trend and the ones from Barry M are amazing! When I first tried the product I was slightly worried about how they would turn out since while in the bottle and on the brush the nail varnish looks the same as any other kind however once dried on the nail you can definitely tell the difference!

Barry M Matte Nail Varnish retails at £3.99

The nail varnish lasts for at least two weeks without much chipping at all and needs such a little amount for each nail meaning that the bottle lasts forever! My current favourite is mocha since the weather (fingers crossed) seems to be getting a bit sunnier which means paler colours look amazing! I hope this review has come in handy and just a small disclaimer that all opinions are my own and I am not trying to alter your view on the product!

Ok until next time,
Lots of Love

February Wishlist

Another month another wishlist! You know the drill, links are at the bottom of the page and I hope you enjoy reading!
Don't grow up Sweatshirt £40 candykittens
Sweatshirts are the perfect slouching garment to have you feeling comfy even on the roughest of days. This one is from Jamie Laing's (made in chelsea) clothing line, candykittens. The quote on it is just perfection and the soft material would make any rough day better!

Reindeer onesie £34 down to £15 Topshop
 Its winter, we're all cold but what is a better way to warm yourself up then cuddling by the fire in your new extra fluffy onesie?! This one is especially cute as its a reindeer and not only that but its reduced by over half price! Proper bargain if you ask me!

Elephant safari skirt £12.75 Forever 21
 Maxi skirts are an easy way of looking dressy while at the same time keeping your legs sheltered from the wind and rain. This one has a lush pattern and would look great with a black vest and fluffy cardigan!
Sweatshirt £7.99 H&M
Sweatshirts are probably the comfiest things ever! They're just perfect for when you get home from school to chuck on and get cozy while doing your homework. This one in particular looks extra cute because of the bright turquoise colour!

Chambray Joggers £17.90 Forever 21
 I know nobody likes to exercise during those winter months but you have to stay healthy somehow and with these at least you will look good doing so! Mind you im not sure denim is the perfect material for going on a jog in so maybe you would be more suited to just watch some telly in them! shhh dont tell anyone ;D
Grey check contrast collared tea dress £25.00 River Island
February is the month of valentines day and with every valentines day comes alot of romantic nights out! This is cute and casual, the perfect combination for dinner with your loved one!

Mosaic moment trousers £16.75 Forever 21
There seems to be a repetitive slouch factor in this post but oh well! These trousers are very unique with their mosaic patterned print and I can imagine another cute garment to wear on valentines day perhaps paired with a loose silky black vest top and black blazer.

Pink colour block bowler bag £40.00 River Island
Oh how I wish I owned this bag! River island score top marks with this bright and springy bag, the colours add a pop of summer on a bleak winters day and trust me you can fit anything in this bad boy! absolute perfection!

Whimsical floral kimono £18.75 Forever 21
Kimonos are extremely in at the moment, lots of fashion and beauty bloggers have raved about them but it is hard to find one that can be worn with alot of items. As you can see from the picture, this one from forever 21 would look amazing with a black mini skirt and black boots. Great for nights out!

And that is all for todays post I hope you all enjoyed and leave me a comment below of what I should next do as a post! Thanks for reading!
