Hey yall`! I havent`t posted anything in months. I really was going to decide to stop blogging because I felt my posts weren`t that interesting. Also,my blog was mainly a nail polish blog but now I`ve decided to focus on other subjects aswell. I want to post a variety of things on here. Whether its what lipstick Kylie Jenner was recently wearing or what trend was seen on the runaway, I want to post things about celebs, fashion, makeup and some random things aswell.

I hope you guys like my updated blog and I`ll be posting real soon!

XOXO, Leila....

China Glaze December To Remember

Hello everyone today I have a post about a polish I picked up from the China Glaze Twinkle Christmas collection. When I first saw the collection none of the colours were very unique to me but I really liked this one. December to Remember is an icy blue shimmer with pink, gold and silver glass flecks. It is so pretty and it reminds me of the movie Frozen for some reason!?!

(sorry for my uneven nails) lol. What do you think of this colour?

NOTD

 Hello everyone! For Valentine`s Day a couple of weeks ago I really wanted to do a jelly sandwich which is a manicure where you "sandwich" a jelly polish and a glitter together (I hope that makes a bit of sense).

I loved this mancure but my nails are really short right now ):

I used Essie Skirting the Issue for the jelly and Essie A Cut Above for the glitter (which I have feautured on my blog here) 

What do you think of this manicure and have you tried a jelly sandwich manicure before?

Layla Ceramic Effect Ce53

Hello everyone! Hope you have a had a good week.

Today I have a polish from Layla to share with you. I think Layla is an Italian International brand but you can find them on Amazon and I am obsessed with their nail polishes.

This one is from the ceramic effect line and it is in the number 53. 53 is a beautiful bright pinkish red jelly with lots of flakies in it. It reminds me of candy apples or some sort of candy which makes me love it even more than I already do. It is literally the bomb and I am obsessed with it.

 It looks way more amazing in real life I promise! If you don`t have this get it now!

New Years Day Mani!

Happy 2015!!!!!  Today I am going to show you the nail polishes I wore for New Years. I always wear something really blingy and glittery and this year was no exception. I decided to do a rose gold manicure and here are the polishes I used:

(from left to right) Orly Rage, Sally Hansen Twinkle toes-ty, Essie A Cut Above

My nails aren`t very smooth so it did show some imperfections but overall I really liked it!

What did you wear on New Years?

A England Briarwood

Hello everyone! I have spent most of my day watching some old Gossip Girl episodes, (tad obsessed)

Anyways so this polish is from A England which is an International or Indie brand (I amn`t too sure)

and this polish is called Briarwood. Briarwood is a really unique polish it is a burgundy and brown duochrome with holographic particles! OMG it is so pretty! And it is COMPLETLEY opaque in 1 coat!!

(sorry for the slight tip wear)

You can see in the first picture the polish looks more brown but in the second it looks more red. This polish is beautiful and I HIGHLY reccomend it!

Zoya Veruschka

Happy Christmas Eve! Today I have a Zoya Matte Velvet colour to share with you. The matter velvets were re-released a couple of weeks ago and I really wanted this one! Veruschka is a beautiful emerald green shimmer. When it is matte it looks like emerald velvet but when its glossy the shimmer comes out more. It was almost opaque in 1 coat but I did 2 for the photos below.

This is so pretty and festive and it definitely reminds me of a Christmas tree!

Barry M Jingle Bells

Hello everyone today I have one of the new Barry M Christmas colours to show you.

Barry M came out with 5 Christmas colours this year, 2 in Boots, 2 in Superdrug and 1 in Tesco.

The Superdrug ones looked the prettiest and I knew I had to have them, but I have yet to find the Tesco one. I picked both of the Superdrug ones up and this is Jingle Bells. 

Jingle bells has a clear base with gold microglitter, gold hexes, gold holographic glitter, gold stars and red shards, It is so pretty! I hate bar glitter but this is an exception.

I love this its super Christmassy I just wish it didn`t have bar glitter!

The names are so cute!! The colours are very interesting! It is quite an unusual collection. My picks would be Hello Hawaii ya? and My Gecko Does Tricks.

Now lets talk about pineapples have peelings too!  I think the colour is so strange and unique but I don`t know if it looks pretty or just weird! Not sure about that one!


Overall I think this collection is great and is different from an avaerage pastel-filled Spring collection! What do you think? What are your picks? And what do you think about Pineapples have peelings too! 

Orly R.I.P

Halloween is here!!!!! I am so excited! Today I have the perfect polish for Halloween.

I love this polish it is so pretty! I definitely recommend checking Amazon for this because its phenomenal! Oh, and have a good Halloween!

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain: A Milan Moment

Hello everyone! Today I have a post about a "moisture stain" from Revlon. I saw these at the drugstore a couple of days a go and I though I would pick one up. I usually don`t go for orange lip colours but this one spoke to me.

A Milan Moment is a beautiful pink toned pumpkin orange which makes it an amazing Fall colour.

This is very creamy and extremely moisturising.The only downside is that it has a slight sticky feel on the lips but nothing too major. I also love the packaging which is always a bonus! 

It looks slightly more pink in real life! Have you tried any of the Revlon Moisture Stains?

Upcoming Barry M collections

Hello everybody! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Today I have some exciting upcoming Barry M collections to share with you. I don`t think I have ever said how much I love Barry M. They are inexpensive but great quality. They are long-lasting, highly pigmented and super unique. So here is whats coming soon.

Barry M Autumn/Winter Gellys

This collection released earlier this month so you can already get these. They are 6 different shades from their Gelly line. I feel like Barry M has just bottled Fall with these colours!

Barry M Autumn/Winter silk

This collection has 3 jewel-toned that dry to a semi-matte (silk) finish. The colours look so rich and shimmery another perfect Fall collection. The collection has been released a couple of days ago.

Barry M Glitterati collection

This collection has 6 glamorous glitters that are packed with holographic glitter and a gorgeous shimmer. These have also been released a couple of days ago.

Barry M Autumn/Winter classic collection.

This collection consists of 3 classic sophisticated and chic nail polish colours. They are all creams and have no shimmer.

Barry M Autumn/Winter Aquarium collection

These two polishes will be added to the Aquarium collection that were released over the Summer.

There is one glitter which has some interesting glitter shapes and a duochrome.

Barry M Christmas collection.

There are 5 Christmas colours this year.

Moonlight and Starlight will be released on the 1st of October. Moonlight is a mixture of different glitter but Starlight has star-shaped glitter !!! 

Barry M nail box.

This is a box with 30 popular shades from Barry M which would be perfect for a gift.

Barry M Christmas Tree Jingle Bells and Twilight.

These beauties will be released on the 22nd of October. Christmas tree is Christmas in a bottle Jingle bells is a gold red pink and silver star shaped glitter mix. Twilight is a purple glitter!!! Omg I love purple nail polish but purple glitter is not a colour found easily so I can`t wait for that one. It will be released in Tesco on the 22nd of October.

I am beyond excited for these! What do you think?

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser 

Hello everyone!!!!! Sorry I haven`t blogged for a couple of days, I am in Germany right now and I was really busy over the weekend. (I know that is a lame excuse) Anyways back to beauty!
This has got to be one of my favourite moisturisers ever! I really like it because its not heavy at all (as the name may suggest) but it keeps you moisturised without looking like an oil slick.

It doesn`t have any perfume, colour or harsh chemicals so its perfect for even sensitive skin.

It also contains some vitamins such as vitamin E which can protect your skin from enviromental pollution and can prevent premature ageing.

What products do you use to keep your skin moisturised?

Revlon Buttercup

Today I was going to talk about a different polish but I heard that this polish was getting discontinued!
Revlon Buttercup is from Revlon`s colorstay line and it is the best yellow and my favourite yellow ever!
Its an extremely pale yellow almost white toned!
Yellows are notorious for their crappy formula, but unlike other yellows this one is opaque in just 2 coats

This polish is so light it almost washes out all of the white lettering on the front of the bottle!

what are your favourite yellows!
