Budget Holiday Nail Bling!

After seeing the OPI Muppet's collection, I felt the need to look for some sort of holiday, blinging, chunky, colourful nailpolish. I looked through OPI and Essie and just found nothing that was spot on - I was surprised myself when I saw an affordable, all blingin', all holiday nail polish by Mavala:

213 Pure Diamond

No, the packaging didn't have anything to do with it at all, of course not! :P

It's not as chunky as I first had in mind, and I still haven't figured out what to layer under it but in the end - it seemed to work out for the best as I absolutely love it!

The photos don't quite capture the rainbow reflection, or the fact that the nails aren't as see-through as they seem :( But it's definitely a toned-down wearable version of GOSH's Holographic nail polish that can be layered over anything or worn on its own for a subtle bling :)

The formula is also amazing with Mavala, as they are easy to paint, has a glossy finish, ridiculously pigmented (well obviously not in this case) and dries really quickly!

For £4.10, I think it's a great option for your holiday nail bling! I love Mavala because of the price and the amount - I don't think it's often that you use up a big bottle of nail varnish that cost you £10, so it's almost better that you get half the amount for half the price :)

What's your holiday season nailpolish of choice? :)

September Favourites :)

Did I say I'd get back to posting regularly? What a load of bollocks that was - sorry! :P

September was madness in calendar form. I went to Kyoto with my mom, I had university bureaucracy to deal with, I came back to the UK and am still in the process of adapting to city life (did anyone try to get on the Jubilee line today?! My goodness, I felt like I was back in rush hour Tokyo!), and I'm starting uni in 2 days! Madness in calendar form.

So I'm back now but not going to make any promises of consistent posting as I have no idea how long this madness intends to continue for! But October promises to be a great month with meet-ups and reunifications with some favourite bloggers - and the TOWIB event of course! :) Excitingggg tiiiimesss!

Anyway, enough babbling :)

My favourite blog/YouTube by far in September had to be Sandra's YouTube. She has such an open mind about products and doesn't just stick to cult products, so she brings in loads of products in her videos that I've never heard of before. She also has really good taste, and has massively enabled me in many of her videos! :) Sandra's also incredibly honest about products no matter how big the hype, and I feel like she's one of those people who doesn't just hoard and never use products, but actually has a reason for a lot of the products she buys which adds to her personality, and also kind of gives a hint as to why and in what situation I would want something :) She also has a lovely voice to listen to! :P

And here are my favourite beauty products of September :)

Were any of these in your favourites too?

What were your favourites? :)
