Nail Of The Day : Essie Wicked

There's nothing like your good ole dark red. Feminine, elegant and it just makes your hands look so.... ah.   Augustine (yeah you girl i know you're reading this) gave me this little gem as a Christmas present (the girl knows me well) and ever since it's been one of my favourite nail polishes to wear. 

Isn't it lovely? I'm pretty much obsessed with Essie's nail polishes to be honest and now that they are available at the Boots in Marble Arch (with a new apparently better, wider brush!!!!!!)............... My bank account is going to suffer. Because of revisions,(someone help me.) I can't really justify taking a 20-min tube ride just for nail polishes... Although I almost did it yesterday ! *slaps hand* I know it's bad. 

Back to revising the ever so interesting decolonisation followed by a little history on wester europe from 1945 to today. Oh and top that up with a little lesson on perception, culture, art... there's many more themes. Weirdly enough, philosophy is the funnest thing to revise. Okay, I should stop rambling about all this and dive back into my intense revisions. 

P.S I'm loving the rain. There's nothing like being sat at your desk with a cup of coffee revising your history while looking at the rain drops slide down your windowpane...

Hey girls,

Last week I caved and bought two items I am so deeply in love with. Haha ! That actually sounds weird but these right now are my two babies and I don't think I could live without them. I will do individual posts on them as soon as I am ready to review them and talk about them but for now just... admire them.

Yes, I have joined the band wagon and I am now the proud owner of the Jemma Kidd Light as Air Foundation ! I have been using this foundation for a little more than a week and... okay i'm just going to put it out there: I LOVE IT. As I said before, I will be doing a separate review on it so stay tuned for that.

Boy Oh Boy... I splurged on an Essie Nail Polish as well. You may have read it in my Sunday Post but over the week-end I received my first offer from a Uni which I never thought I would get an offer. To celebrate that I went from Selfridge's to Harrods to find the color I wanted! I was looking for the perfect light pink and  I found exactly what I was looking for. Neo Whimsical is the perfect light pink that isn't too light and not too dark either. Like I said, PUR-FECT. 

Do you treat yourself to stuff you don't usually buy whenever you get good news? It's the best way to give yourself a pat on the back ;)
