Review: Topshop Matte Nail Varnish 'Red'

I've always wanted to try matte nail varnish as I think if you get the right one it could have a really nice finish. I decided to try the Topshop matte nail polishes as I think the Topshop polishes last an acceptable amount of time and are just genuinely good. The colour I got was the 'Red.'

It takes about three coats of this nail varnish to get a good finish. The matte finish is also very nice. This colour would be really nice in the upcoming Spring as you are getting out of the dull winter coloured nail varnishes and edging a bit more to the brighter colour of Spring but not quite Summer. The nail varnish is quite long lasting and will stay on the nail for at least 4-5 days. The polish is £6 in stores but you could potentially save 60p (10%) using your student card but otherwise I do think it's worth the price because of the finish and the length it lasts.

I couldn't find this particular nail varnish online, I picked it up in store a few weeks ago so I would recommend checking in there. If not, online Topshop do an almost identical colour called 'Drink in Pink' which I will link below. 

If you wanted to do something a little bit different, this nail varnish could be paired with glitter nail varnishes. I thought it would go great with the 'Maybelline - Colour Show Brocades' in the colour Knitted Gold.

All of you probably know or remember the Zara 'city' bag and the craze that surrounded it. The bag was popular for it's pretty style and also for it's layout. It has a massive middle compartment with two zip compartments on each side. Many people liked it because it was convenient and a really good size. However the price could have been quite expensive for some of you. Zara have now released an updated version of the city bag with zips and new colours of blue and red, this costs £59.99:

However, the other day I was browsing in Primark and saw their very own copy of the old version of the city bag for only £12. It's a slightly smaller size, but almost the exact style with gold zips and two zipped compartments. It also has a shoulder strap.

So if you're looking for a cheap alternative of a very popular, very convenient bag, then head to Primark for a bargain!

First ever post!

Hiiiiiiii and welcome :),

So, after debating with myself wether I should do this for literally forever now, I've finally decided to give blogging (and maybe youtube) a go.

Blogging is something I've always wanted to try as just like most girls, I'm really into fashion and beauty. Also, I've been following the likes of Tanya Burr, Lily Melrose and Zoella on their blogs and youtube channel's for ages and every time I watch them or read a blog post I get the urge to start my own.

On my blog, I am mainly going to post my outfits, fashion and beauty items that I like or have enjoyed and other random things to do with different aspects of my life. Those could be anything from what I had for lunch to my favourite tv programme at the time.

My first proper, non introductory post will be along soon.
