My favourite polishes for 2013...

If you know me, you'd know that I have quite a vast collection of nail polish - I might do a post on it one day cause apparently I have a lot. But anyways, I picked out a few of my favourite nail polishes out of all the ones I have added to my collection this year, and here they are! 

Starting off with top coat! 

I personally think top and base coats are very important when it comes to protecting your natural nail and/or the colour/design on your nails. My favourite top coat has got to be the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat. It dries super fast which is great for people who can't be bothered waiting for nail polish to dry. 

 Moving on to more bold colours. starting from left to right, I have the shade "Chatroom Rendezvous" by China Glaze, "Avalanche" by China Glaze, "Out of the Blue" by Covergirl, "Blue Tiger" by Australis and "Exposure" by Essie.

The China Glaze ones are both the most recent ones, and I love them! I'm currently wearing "Chatroom Rendezvous" on my toe nails. It's a lovely deep red. "Avalanche" is an amazing holographic/futuristic nail polish that has a tint of purple in it. 

"Out of the Blue" by Covergirl is a great colour for spring or autumn/fall - it's not too dark but not too bright either, and "Blue Tiger" by Australis is great for autumn or winter as it's more of a deep blue shade. 

"Exposure" by Essie is great for summer or spring, or when you want to add a bright pop of colour to your outfit - it'll definitely catch people's attention! :) 

All of these polishes are great and easy to apply. I especially love China Glaze and Essie.

Next we have more pastel colours. I love wearing pastels around spring. So again from left to right I have: "Lilac Pastelle" from Revlon, "Absolutely Shore" by Essie, "To Buy Or Not To Buy" from Essie, and "Riviera Blue" by Mimco. 

I personally think Revlon make great nail polishes. They can be price-y but when you find them on sale, grab one! (I got all my Revlon nail polishes on sale haha). I love this shade as well, its a soft pink-purple colour which looks adorable on. 

I also love Essie nail polishes, although they can be too thin for some people, I don't really mind it. Essie can also be pretty expensive, so when they're on sale I definitely recommend trying one out. The two shades I have are also great on your nails. "Absolutely Shore" is a faint pastel green which is easy to pair with any outfit, and "To Buy Or Not To Buy" is a pastel purple (more purple than Revlon's Lilac Pastelle). For Essie polishes, I recommend putting on around 3 coats cause they can be quite thin. 

And lastly Mimco's "Riviera Blue." I didn't even know Mimco sold polishes until I was gifted one this year. I loveeeee love love this shade! It's like a dull pastel blue, something I'd wear in autumn and possibly spring. This polish also lasts pretty long

I hope this post wasn't too long for you (I'm sorry if it was haha) and I'll see you lovelies in my next post! 

My favourite tech find for 2013...

I'm not really a tech-savy person so don't expect too much haha. This purchase is one of my most recent purchases, and I decided to buy it because I'm going away on holidays soon, and because I'm so dependant on my iPhone, I though I'd better keep it charged and alive for as long as possible throughout the day. 
So I bought myself a portable phone charger!  It's quite convenient! I bought the 3000mAh Plox Energy Stick in pink (they only had pink available) It came with a double ended cord, and 7 different heads for various devices. 
It has 3 ports. If you turn it to the left, the one on the left will pop up, and if you turn it to the right the one in the middle will pop up. 

To check the battery life all you have to do is pick it up, or shake up and blue dots will appear on the side. If all 4 blue dots appear then it's fully charged (as seen in the photo below) 

To charge it, just plug it into a computer/laptop or an adapter with a usb port which you then plug into a powerpoint. 
You guys should check it out and let me know what you think! There's more to come on my favourite things from 2013. I hope everyone is doing well and ready for 2014, I'll see you guys in my next post!
