My Favourite Autumn Nail Colours

Navy – All through autumn and winter last year, I wore navy on my nails, and I’m loving it this year too. Its softer than black nails but still perfect for parties, and also looks great with a glitter top coat. My current personal favourite is No7 Stay Perfect in Betty Blues, which I bought last year.



1. No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Betty Blues - £5.50
2. Models Own In The Navy - £5
3. 17 Lasting Fix in Midnight Sapphire - £2.99

 Berry reds - Nothing beats a classic red nail, and dark berry reds definitely give this go-to colour an autumnal twist. My current favourite is Rimmel Rapid Ruby but there are so many gorgeous varnishes in this shade!

 

1.    Rimmel Rapid Ruby - £2.99

2.    Models Own Red Red Wine - £5

No7 Stay Perfect Damson Dream - £5.50

 

 

Dark green – I’ve only just tried dark green nails, but this colour is THE perfect autumn colour, I can’t seem to get enough of it! My only nail varnish in this colour is Racing Green by Barry M (£2.99, Boots) but I have recently spotted Emerald Black Beetlejuice by Models Own (£5, Boots) which has a beautiful shimmery effect so this is definitely going to go on my wishlist.

 

1. Barry M Racing Green - £2.99
2. Rimmel Green with Envy - £2.99
3. Models Own Beetlejuice in Emerald Black - £5

Todays Nails - Firework Inspired!

E.L.F Black Nail Varnish
Models Own Hedkandi Ibiza Mix

Happy Bonfire Night everyone! To celebrate this day, I've come up with this very simple, but effective, fireworks inspired nail design! I used a black nail varnish for the background and once dry, used the amazing Models Own Ibiza Mix glitter nail varnish to create the 'fireworks'

 

Hope everyone has a lovely evening. I'm full of cold, so looks like I will be sat inside watching fireworks this year!

What I Bought - Cath Kidston Deer Jumper

Today, I wanted to share with you one of my recent purchases – this Cath Kidston deer jumper from their Christmas 2012 collection.

 

 

It is a beautifully soft and chunky jumper which is perfect now that the weather has got so cold and the days are much shorter. I bought it in a medium which is perfectly slightly oversized to just throw on and snuggling into.

 

It is a little pricey at £70 but it will last for ages and see me through many winters. The deer print is absolutely gorgeous and by far my favourite Cath Kidston Christmas prints. Plus Bambi is one of my favourite Disney films so how could I resist this cute jumper?!

Autumn Days Are My Favourite Days

Happy Bonfire Night!

I can’t quite believe it’s November already – this year is going scarily fast!

Just got back from my local firework display. I was looking forward to wrapping up warm and going to see some amazing fireworks with my family as it was the first time I’ve actually gone to see some in real life for a few years rather than just stood in my window! I’m now sat curled up in my pyjamas watching the X Factor – perfect!

Now that it is Bonfire night, and we’re in the heart of Autumn, I thought I would dedicated a post to why autumn days are my favourite.

Of course I love summer and the sun and it does tend to make me feel better when the sun is shining, but there are things about autumn in this country which are really special and I love it!

1)     Autumn Colours - oranges, reds and browns

2)    Falling Leaves

3)    Warm boots

4)    Chunky knit scarves

5)    Long walks in a park with the sun shining and the crisp air

6)    Sat by a warm fire

7)    Layering

8)    Cosy knitted socks

9)    Long hot baths

10)  Snuggly warm beds with extra blankets

11)  Afternoons spent in little cafes drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows

12) Cute squirrels

13) Fireworks, bonfires and sparklers
