Festive Nails With Barry M Nail Paint

(left to right) Textured 'Lady', Limited Edition for Christmas Nail Paint 336 and Red Wine.

I picked up these polishes in Boots recently because I thought they would be perfect for the Christmas party season. The Textured white 'Lady' polish with it's shimmering glittering texture caught my attention immediatly and I had to buy it. Boots are also doing 3 for 2 on Barry M products at the moment so I had to pick up two other polishes naturally! The limited edition nail paint in 336 reminded me of Christmas tinsel so I wanted to give that a go and you can never go wrong with classic red at Christmas.





I'm absolutely in love with Lady, it's gorgeous and perfect for Christmas. It made my nails look and feel luxurious. In the pictures I have two coats on and I have to say I was surprised how pigmented it turned out to be. It applied very nicely and didn't have that glupy consistency that usually comes with most glitter polishes. I loved wearing it on it's own and also trying it with different shades to create different looks.

I have to say I wasn't fond of the Limited Edition Christmas polish in 336. I just wasn't happy with the over all look. It applied fine and dried with no problems. The colours are perfect for Christmas but I just didn't like the effect itself. It looked kind of messy to me and I had to take it off not long after wearing it!

What polishes would you recommend for this Christmas season, I'm on the hunt for more! MOOOOOORE!

Love,

Sarah

The Body Shop Luxury Advent Calender - The Best of The Body Shop Christmas 2013

Ding Dong..If I wasn't already excited enough about Christmas you should have seen my face when I seen The Body Shop Christmas advent calender in their Grafton street store in Dublin this week. I was invited along to see their new Christmas Ginger, Cranberry and Vanilla collections but the advent calender stole the show for me on the night.

With twenty four amazing products for €99 (Contents worth €126.30) I just could not contain my excitement. The packaging, the Gingerbread house, all the little doors and the shear size of it. Oh momma!

If you want to know what's behind each door keep reading on, otherwise tell me in the comments below how excited you would be to have this in your possession in the comments below!!

Isn't she a beaut! Probably the best advent calender I have seen in a long time! The advent Calender is also available in stores in the UK for £55 (contents worth £80). It might be worth mentioning too that there is also three version available. This is the Luxury edition, there is also a Deluxe edition which comes in a green box and an Ultimate version which comes in a gold box and cost more but unfortunately (for greedy people like me) they are not available in Ireland (Thank god says my bank balance!).
