NOTD - Nails Of The Day: Louboutin French Mani

Well, if I can't have a pair of the real deal, might as well be wearing it in some way right? Thought I would give my own twist to the regular (boring?) french mani and what better combination than red and black!

I used Barry M Black for the base and 17 cosmetics Knockout Red for the tips.

NOTD: Nail of the Day - Cracked Red

My friend Nada was over the other day and asked me to do her nails. Since she is really in the red nail polish phase, she definitely wanted a bright red. I decided to do with Knockout Red by 17 but wanted to make it more interesting so added a gold shatter nail polish (by OPI). We thought it looked great, what do you guys think?

OOTD: Saman's TOWIB Outfit

If you have been following the blog, you know I am visiting London and obviously didn't know that there would be an event to attend while I was here. So this was a really difficult one to put together! 

But here is what I wore:
Tshirt: Self-designed
Blazer: Primark
Belt: Primark
Skirt: F&F (at Tesco's!)
Tights (not pictured): Marks and Spencer
Shoes (not pictured): New look
Bag: H&M
Earrings: Silavat. Silver and Onyx (from Saudi Arabia)
Nails: Forever by 17 (closer look here)

I completed my look with a messy side bun just to add more of a feminine touch to the outfit.

Lipstick: Hot Lips by Eyeko London


If you were at TOWIB and didn't get to say, please say hello in the comments or on our twitter!

Westfield Mini Haul

Aneesa and I went to Westfield Shopping Mall yesterday at Shepherd's Bush in London. We had such a tiring but fun day walking around and checking out the sales. Although we didn't purchase anything major, we did pick up a few things so though we would post about it and share it with you guys.

First stop, Pull and Bear:
They had quite an amazing sale on, with a alot of the stuff starting at £2.99. Aneesa picked up a sheer top in a beige/nude colour and I got a very thin cardigan in a quite a unique shade of blue.

I made a quick stop at American Apparel because I have had my eyes on this nail colour for ages now! Its called Peacock (first one from the left). I will be swatching all three soon, but for now I applied the pink one which I really like!

We spent the longest at Boots for some reason! But I only got this 17 nail polish in the shade Forever (Best nude shade EVER!) which was a repurchase and a Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eyeliner in black.

We then passed by an NYS stall (for those who are unfamiliar, it is a brand for really good but affordable eyewear) and they were doing a 2 for £25!! So we both decided to get one each. Both of them are a 'wayfarer' shape. Aneesa's one (first one) is black with a floral inside and mine is a bit larger in size (since I have a round face) with a red tinted frame.



Just thought I would include this in this post as it is from the next day. Aneesa FINALLY found a bag (from Primark!). Its a really nice cream faux crocskin with light brown details and gold hardware. Perfect for uni!

Hope you guys liked the haul, its our first one, so we would love to hear from you in the comments below what you thought of it and what you think can be improved.

Thanks
Saman and Aneesa x
