Welcoming Spring

The past week has got me so excited for the next few months. As we enter into the wonderful month of March, let's hope its a better one that last year! With the sunshine making more of an appearance too, it really does boost everyone's mood and motivation. I spent some time at the weekend getting out some more bright knits and floral tops and giving my toenails for love before it officially becomes sandal season!

I've also had a slight reset and refresh to my beauty routine and wardrobe to make room for the more warm tones and bright pops of colour.. let's take a peek inside...

Nail Week: Semilac Gel Nail System Review

WELCOME TO NAIL WEEK! 

If there is one thing I am really missing since being in lock down, its got to be my regular visits to the nail salon. I loved going in every few weeks, having a chat, choosing a new nail design and just having that 1 hour out from normal life. However, its been a good thing at the same time because I have had more of a chance to do my own nails. When I was in high school, I was part of a Nail Club. In this club, I got taught everything to do with nails and those skills have stayed with me until now. 

Recently, I have been loving doing my own nails at home. This week I am showing you a gel system, gel colours and some tools that are an essential for doing your nails at home! 

Today's post is all about a nail system called Semilac. They very kindly sent over their starter kit* for me to have a play with. Spoiler alert - I'm obsessed!   

                                    

Spring/Summer Nail Edit '15

Oh BarryM, stop stealing my heart every so often with a new release. When I heard that they were brining out a range called 'Speedy' and it guaranteed to dry instantly? I was hooked. I waited a little while after they got released to see what other people thought of them, and then afterwards I popped into Superdrug and they were on offer for 2 for £7 - I basically couldn't resist and ended up buying 4, my favourite four shades. The shades I picked up, are ones that I think will be perfect for the spring and summer, they are bold and bright!

The Spring Edit|Nails

The sun has been making a few little appearances over the past few weeks and to me that means one thing, SPRING! I love the spring time because of the beautiful flowers that start to grow, the brighter and hopefully sunnier days and it's just a fresh change from the gloomy winter days! Spring time means some gorgeous nail polish colours that look beautiful on you. Most of these are pastel colours as I find them perfect for spring and then when you get into the summer, you have your more bright pinks and coral colours.

Essie Cascade Cool -
This is an all time favourite, I love wearing this as it is very cool toned and not to in your face pink. The formula of Essie polishes are amazing and this is the shade that started my obsession off.

Sally Hansen Good To Grape - 
A poundland beauty, this polish is for someone who doesn't like wearing pastels or still wants to have colour on their nails without it being too dark. One coat of this polish and you are good to go, great formula and colour that lasts ages!

L'oreal - Pistachio Drag -
I'm confused whether this is called Drag or Drag as everywhere has it different even the bottle! Since, seeing these on other blogs a few weeks about I just had to try one of the colours out and I went with the mint green colour because it is my favourite shade to wear in the spring time and I have it in so many different tones. Never used a L'oreal polish before and this so far has not disappointed me.

BarryM Rose Hip-
One that has been on my blog already, Rose Hip is the prettiest off white/pastel pink there is. It doesn't look too washed out and dreadful on your nails instead makes them look pretty and pink. Love the Gelly's from BarryM as you all know well, and this is another to add to my constantly growing collection.

BarryM Huckleberry -
This polish along with Rose Hip and another I don't own are colours that BarryM secretly came out with a few weeks ago, and to be honest are amazing. This baby blue colour is gorgeous and perfect for the spring time, I know ice cream colours were last year but I think they are adorable!
