Mini London Haul!!!

Hey Vibrant people!

I was in London for four whole days last week. It was not supposed to be shopping experience, more of a sightseeing-and-visiting-friends-experience. However, I really couldn't help myself and just had to pop into some of the shops. I didn't really buy much but here is what I did buy:

The Superdrug in London was having a special Barry M offer, where any 2  £3.99 nail effects were for £6. So I bought another Gelly Hi-Shine in Key Lime,

 which is a lime-y green that is just perfect for spring and another Confetti Nail Effects in Liquorice,

 which is black and white confetti in a clear base. I notices that a lot of other brands seen to be doing something similar to this but in a "dots" or "sequin" sort of version. I definitely saw a L'Oreal one and a Maybelline one. 
When passing by Claire's, I saw this colour from outside (I know, the bottles are small so how in the world did I do that?),

 so I kind of walked backwards and into the shop  and purchased it. It does not have a name (or at least I couldn't find one so can please someone tell me, only if you live in the UK though because I know where the name is on the American one, where I can find the name because it is driving me CRAZY! Please...) but it is basically an extremely similar colour to Revlon Whimsical, which was limited edition (boo) so I was not able to get my hands on it, which is why I bought this instead. And at £3 it is an absolute bargain!

When we got bored of takeaways, me and my mum popped into Poundland for a quick snack and I spotted this. (Unfortunately, I was too excited to take a picture before opening it so I sort of placed them roughly where they had been and then took one...)

Now I have been behind a stamping kit for ages, but I really was not sure as Konad is not very readily available here in the UK and I didn't want to risk the fakes on Amazon. So when I saw this (for £1!) it was a lot like that moment in Ice Age 2 when Scrat (the squirrel) goes to heaven and spots the giant acorn and he sort of drops everything and ballerina-dances towards it. That was me! (don't know what I just said? Watch the clip here) I am going to post a little tutorial and how it was so keep an eye out and as I promised in my last post (here), I will be showing individual swatches of everything.

Mini Haul: MUA Nail Constellation and MUA Fur Effect Nails

So last week I saw a good few people wearing fluffy bits (my first impression) on their nails so after a bit of searching I found a cheap way to re-create their look. For less. Both the products are for £3 from superdrug so £6 altogether, but I had saved up £2 on my reward card do I only had to pay £4 (there, I've done the maths).

So first I got the MUA Nail Constellation in Gemini

So this is basically like Ciate's Caviar Nails, but much cheap. Gemini is very pretty and has purple, baby blue, pink and silver beads in it. I haven't tried it yet, but from previous experience I know that this manicure only lasts up to about 2, sometimes 3 days. But it is perfect for Valentines Day.

The second (and last) thing I bought was the MUA Fur Effects in Boo Boo Fluff

This HAS got to be the cutest name in history. Its a beautiful skyblue/waterblue and the longer I stare at it the more I feel like visiting the swimming pool. I haven't ever tried this before so I can't wait to try it, but I have heard that it only last for 1 day. Alas, there goes my dream of having fluffy nails all week long.
