NOTD: Essie Sew Psyched

This is my current go to nail varnish, although its rather autumnal I just can't resist wearing it now. I've been looking for the perfect khaki for awhile, but I've found most of cheaper brands were a bit too bright, not quite what I wanted, so I was chuffed when I found this Essie one. For me Sew Psyched its the perfect dull khaki with a grey sage green hint. As with all Essie nail varnishes it wears well and it went on extremely easily, it would look fine with one coat - I've done two.

What do you think? Khaki nails a good look or just a bit wrong?

NOTD Essie It's Delicate

As previously mentioned I bought this in a set of three Essie polishes for the bargain price of £9.99 from TK Maxx. It's a delicate and lovely sheer light pink, In the photo above I have applied 3 coats however if its a sheer look your going for this was beautiful in just one coat. The colour is really close to the well blogged about Fiji - however that's a far more opaque and slight more pinkish in colour, it's delicate is well more delicate looking. On top of this I've been using Barry M top coat and I've found it lasts really, really well. 

So far I'm extremely impressed with Essie polishes and its clear to see why everyone raves about them.

TK Maxx Nail Extravagansa

If you haven't already heard TK Maxx are really upping their game when it comes to beauty products we were just in there this morning and we found amazing cosmetic bargains from Stila, Pixi, Elizabeth Arden, Bourjois and more, there were also bargains from Garnier and Bedhead. Although I think bargain hunters had got there before us as there wasn't much left!

But what excited us most was their stand of Nails Inc, Essie, Andrea Fullerton and Leighton Denny nail varnishes!!!

They had a whole section of Nails Inc gift sets ranging from £9.99 to £24.99, with a mix of old season colours such as glitter, darks and summer brights. 

The above set caught our eye the most it would be a great present for any nail varnish addict, unfortunately we are both skint so couldn't justify buying the set when we have hundreds of nail varnishes already.

They also had ESSIE nail varnishes in sets of three for a bargain price of £9.99... we absolutely squealed with delight as we had been dying to try them out, they were all classic pink/red/manicure colours. This is the set that Rachel bought.

We also sneakily hand picked the nicest spring colours to make a set for a giveaway!

We definitely will be making more trips to TK Maxx for bargains!
