My Favourite Winter Nail Colours

I hate painting my nails but I do love having painted nails, because of this minor setback I usually get my friends or family members to paint my nails :). My favourite colours are these ones below, in no particular order. Enjoy :)xx

As with many other nail polishes I am not quite sure of the name of this Jessica nail varnish, or the price for that matter. I assume that the price would be about £7.50 like many of the other of the 7.4ml colours. It is a really nice deep red that spreads really nicely and is very easy to apply. It doesn't chip that much and dries quite well.

Next is a colour that I know next to nothing about, this is because it was a present from a friend for my birthday a few years ago. I think that it may be from boots though I am not entirely sure. It is looking a little battered but hopefully that doesn't distract from the colour. It is a really pretty and shimmery gold which is a great Christmas colour especially with the tiny bits of glitter. It is not the best quality but the colour is amazing.
This colour is another unknown brand/name/price from the same set as the one before. It's quite old but has stood up to the age (yay). The deep purple is a really nice dark winter shade that has tiny bits of subtle shimmer in it. It looks really nice to wear and has a really regal feel to it.

Now for my Barry M colours which I love as they are so well priced but such good quality. Firstly I have a normal one in the shade bright purple (inventive). It costs only £2.99 which is a great price as it lasts really long and is perfect for autumn/winter. It is really great if you don't want a shade that is too dark but you do want a pop of colour.
Finally my second Barry M colour. This one is not strictly a winter shade, however I really like it as it reminds me of icicles and snowy days. It is quite a cool shade but it is a really pretty blue. It is one of the 'high-shine Gelly' colours and I really like these ones as they last really long and take only a few minutes to dry they are also super shiny:). It is a great price only £3.99, overall I love it :D.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed xx

Accesorize 'Lovely Day' Eye Palette

This eye palette contains some amazing colours for every season. It includes summery creams and pale blues, to wintery navy shades and greys. It also has some really a shimmery gold and copper which are great for autumn and definitely my favourite shades. As well as these shimmery shades it also has some great matt shades.

I personally think that the picture on the website doesn't really show all the shimmer that well so here is a picture of my rather damaged palette.
Sorry for the rubbish photography

It comes in at £10 and with 32 different shades I think that's not to bad and it would be a great gift.  The only problem is that it is quite flimsy and the colours can may smash but apart from that I love it and definitely recommend it.
