Once in a Blue Moon

Today I found myself shifting through my little collection of nail polishes & once I spotted this lying at the very bottom of the bag I fell in love ( ugh, how cheesy!)! I completely forgot I had this polish & felt like I struck gold because it just summarized my mood today (woo!). I could only describe this colour as a milky blue (if that makes any sense?), it's quite a soft colour & isn't bold or intense on the nails. I really love wearing this colour with gold jewellery - It gives a little nautical vibe (ya gotta love it, right?).

The shade is 'Blue Moon' by Beauty UK & I must've bought this almost 3 years ago (pretty old!) but I'm sure it's still available in shops or drugstores. As much as I love this colour, the consistency of the polish was really watery and it took up to 4 coats to achieve the colour above! As well as this, it took forever to dry (bad if you're fidgety like me!)! According to the website, this polish costs £1.99 & so I guess the quality is reflected in the price. I'll definitely be looking for a similar shade by Barry M or OPI. I love it so much! 

Do you recommend any similar shades?

Snaps & Songs

This week I've been posting quite often & as I was short for ideas I thought I'd do a cute little 'week in snaps' post as I've really been making the most of the lovely weather! I've always loved photography & getting the camera out from time to time, but sadly due to exams, horrible weather (which often means terrible lighting) & procrastination (or laziness as it's otherwise known) I just haven't got round to taking many photos. So hopefully by doing a little post like this I can learn to get out & use my camera more than I have been!

That's 'Snaps' covered, now on to Songs! So basically, I thought I may as well add a little music into the mix and include songs I've been listening to this week. I'm constantly listening to music - sometimes I get a little 'set in my ways' & don't explore other genres or artists' music so, hopefully this post can encourage me to do that!

Bastille - Overjoyed // Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know? // The Vaccines - Melody Calling

The 1975 - Chocolate // Alt-J - Fitzpleasure

So, that's today's post! If you would like me to do more of these kinda posts, give me a little comment below & I'll see what I can do!

Do you like any of the songs or artists I've mentioned?
