Getting back to me - 2 outfits

Hello. ^^

I thought I'd post a couple of outfits I'd worn recently - it had been a while since I last dressed up. Not to go into too much detail, but let's just say I had become quite ill, so I was glad I was able to wear pretty clothes and feel more like myself again :)

A simple sweet lolita outfit I wore around the house at the weekend

Detail of the print of the dress and my shoes ^^

I wore this outfit yesterday to town to meet a very special friend of mine I hadn't seen in a few weeks. I was so happy to meet her; she really cheered me up. XD I guess I had been feeling a bit lonely?

What do you like to do to cheer yourself up? I'd love to hear lots of suggestions. :)

'Kate Spade New York by Nails Inc' nail polish review

I recently bought this month's GLAMOUR (UK) magazine. I have to admit, one of the factors that encouraged me to make the purchase (okay, maybe the sole factor), was the fact that it came with a free bottle of nail polish (Nail Inc) worth £11! And since the magazine was only £2, it didn't mind spending it.

The full polish is available in four different shades: black, silver, gold and red. I chose the red one, because I have such a penchant for the colour. It's a 10ml bottle, which is about standard size (I think). I was a little worried that the size would be compromised.

I used a standard basecoat and two coats of colour. This picture was taken a day after I had applied it and as you can see, it's already starting to chip. Which is actually not too bad for me, as I tend to find my polish chipping right away.

Other hand

When applying the nail polish, I found it glides on really well, almost too well; I found it difficult to not get it messy, especially with the shape and size of the lid. I like the colour, but I find that in artificial light, it looks a bit, well cheap, which is a bit disappointing. I've now worn the polish quite a few days and have found it's chipped quite considerably on some nails.

Overall, I like it, it's a nice colour and fair quality. But would I buy it again at full price? No.

Thanks for reading.
