Roxy's Box of Tricks: sally hansen

I just got paid and so when my parents said they were off to the Royal Flower Show in Cardiff, I jumped at the opportunity to go with them to grab some new clothes and makeup.

My first stop, was Topshop to scour the sale rails. There wasn't anything that particularly caught my eye but just when I was about to give up, I spotted this little beauty:

Open Back Dress by Oh My Love- £12

Unfortunately, the sales assistant said they didn't have a disabled changing room (hmm remember my last post?) and I just went ahead and bought it in a size Medium, which is a little bit tight on me, but I hope to slim down into it.

My next stop was good ole Primark. I bought mainly home items but I managed to blag this beautiful dress:

Vintage Fields Prom Dress- £13

I absolutely love this dress, it's so cute and summery. I can't wait until the sun pops by Wales so I can wear it out.

Next stops were Superdrug and Boots, where I picked up lots of goodies:

Essie nail varnish in Aruba Blue and Turquiose & Caicos, Sally Hansen Double Duty Top & Base coat, Primark fruit fashion nails,

B. Pure Micellar Water, Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blush Flushed, YSL Rouge Pur Couture in No. 24 Blond Ingenu

Hope you enjoyed this post! Look out for the reviews of my purchases soon! :)

This is probably one of my favourite nail looks, just because it's so easy and looks fantastic!

I used Sally Hansen's nail varnish in Bewitched which, I found in Poundland for the grand total of (can you guess?) £1!! I was actually really shocked because Sally Hansen is such a good brand. I think this generation of bbloggers concentrate on newer brands and sometimes forget about good quality varnish like this one. Whilst the colour in the bottle is purple, after two coats on the nail it appears more of a black purple- the perfect base for Boogie Nights.

Boogie Nights is a bblogger favourite, and I can understand why. It's part of Model's Own Mirrorball collection and boasts large glitter flakes with a purple tinge. I find it a bit difficult to get the glitter/nail ratio right as the flakes can just stick together but too much glitter is never a bad thing!

The only problem I have with this look is when I go to remove it as the glitter takes some scrubbing to get it off! Apart from that, I wore my nails like this for a week and a half with no chipping!

What's your favourite nail look?
