NOTD: Nail of the Day: MUA Love Hearts

This is the first time I have tried on this colour since I got it by the very generous people at Superdrug in my goody bag at the Superdrug press event.
Now, ok. Let me address a major problem I have with this right now: the formulation. Considering that I have never even opened this before, I know this has not dried up or anything. The application is VERY streaky to say the least!
Anyway, I managed to apply maybe two or three coats PLUS my top coat (That save the day!)
It ended up looking great ofcourse, but I know I will think twice if I want to apply this again.
Was looking forward to a summery colour :(

So here it is:

NOTD: Nail of the Day: A bright french

I don't think I've done/had a french manicure in ages. But whats a nail of the day without a bright twist? Made it up as I went along but love it and it has lasted me a good couple of days too! 

Green: Misguided (got this free with a magazine a couple of months ago, not too sure about the name)
Yellow: Bourjois So Laque in Jaune Trendy 39 (This looks great by itself too! See here)

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?

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
