I Lurve My New Bag

Hey Everyone!

I had a little shopping day last Saturday and I found myself really loving what is in Internaçionale at the moment. Amongst other fab finds (coming up in my next OOTD post!), I got this gorgeous bag:
large brown leather handbag with gold fastening
It was on a special 'WOW' offer- reduced from £14.99 to £9.99 which I think is great. I have been looking for a bag for ages and now I have found the perfect one. It has a gorgeous chocolate brown textured faux leather finish (that was a bit of a mouthful wasn't it?). It will go with all my clothes, it is a great size and has lots of compartments inside. 
three compartments in brown handbag, middle one sipped
I think I've found the perfect high street alternative to a designer bag, which is great if like me you're on a budget and don't particularly like the thought of parting with hundreds of pounds for the real thing. Not too bad eh? 

What do you think of my new bag? Have you found any designer inspired treasures on the high street lately?

Polish Post 3

Hi everyone!

I've not done this type of post in a while so I thought I would tell you about one of my favourites at the moment which is w7 nail polish. I got a set of three for Christmas from TkMaxx (I think!) though I have seen them available online for £3.45 per bottle. 


3 large brown nail polish bottles with black lids
From left to right:
Metallic Mars
Metallic Venus
Metallic Mercury

Colour-They're all different shades of brown: metallic mercury is super-dense glitter, metallic venus has purple/blue tones and shimmer and metallic mars is an orangey brown with slight shimmer.

Consistency- My favourite- metallic mercury, has an amazing consistency. One coat and you're done. Metallic mars quite runny though and I think it would be better as an undercoat. Metallic venus has a good consistency too.

Brush- The brush works really well on my short nails and mostly the polish stays on my nail and doesn't 'leak' onto my finger.

Result- I love these polishes as they are gorgeous colours which I would have not considered buying myself. As mentioned, I am particularly impressed with the glitter one- you can see the results below.

Durability- As I've probably said in a previous post- I am terrible for biting my nail varnish off if I get the slightest chip. However, this stays at least a few days with no chipping even without a top coat so I resist the urge to bite it.

Rating- 10/10 for the metallic mercury, 9/10 for metallic venus and 6/10 for metallic mars.

Overall, I love these polishes and would highly recommend them. I am excited to try other shades of this brand. Have you tried w7 before? Did you like it?
