Guest Post: Top 5 Nail Polishes by Charlotte from Charbuckss

Good morning my lovely readers :) Another brilliant guest post today, from the lovely Charlotte from Charbuckss! I love love love Charlotte's blog, and I think you should definitely go give it a look! Now onto Charlotte for a lovely nails post! 

---------- ♥ ----------

So first I must introduce myself, I'm Charlotte and I blog over at Charbuckss. It's a combination of my first and last name if you were wondering, and it just so happens to sound very much like a certain iconic chain of coffee shops. I live in Bedfordshire, England in a small and unexciting market town that I'd really love to get out of. I've just turned eighteen and have a love affair with nail polish. I blog about a variety of things, whatever's taking my fancy at the time really. I blog about nail art A LOT, I write recipes and I do a lot of lifestyles posts about my days out and holidays. In the past year I've managed to travel to Los Angeles, Barcelona and Poland, so if any of those places float your boat then be sure to check out my blog!

Thank you Anastasia for giving me the opportunity to guest post on your blog. Seeing as we're now in the lovely -ahem- season of Autumn, I thought I'd share my top five Autumn nail polishes (naturally). Now, just for the record, although Autumn is full of berry and nude shades, I'm never one to lock away my less 'Autumny' nail polishes. After all, sometimes the weather just needs a coat of bright nail polish to cheer it up!

The Top Five (L-R)

1. Models Own Peacock Green

2. Models Own Utopia

3. Models Own Beth's Blue

4. Models Own Betty Blue

5. Barry M Raspberry

It's a well known fact on my blog that I'm a lover (and slight addict) of Models Own nail polishes. So it was inevitable that the majority of my top five would be from that brand. I love the variety of shades, and the quality of the polishes. Beth's Blue and Utopia are two of my all time favourites, and are great for wearing all year round. Before I discovered Models Own I loved Barry M, and Raspberry is still one of the colours I still keep wearing, especially around the Autumn and Winter time. 

So, I hope you enjoyed this post and once again thank you Anastasia for having me on your lovely blog. If you do decide to check out my blog, then hopefully I'll meet you in the comments very soon! 

What are your favourite Autumn nail polish shades?

Thank you so much for this lovely post Charlotte, I love Models Own as well! 

What is your favourite nail polish brand?

Today me and my fiancé, David met a friend we hadn't seen in a looooooong time in town seeing as we're both free from university now and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to see if I can find black work trousers and shoes for my job trail/interview on Monday. I was lucky and found both of these items and also got a couple of things as well, oopsie!

These beauties are from New Look but I unfortunately cannot find them on their website. They were £12.99 and with the current 20% off for students I thought £10.39 was a very decent price for them but beware, they size rather big! I need at least 2 pairs of insoles for them but luckily I have a pair lying around already so bought a pair of foam inserts for £3.50 from Clarks. I think they'll be perfect for work, and everyday outings. 

Now, I am a sucker for anything with peace signs on and this cute ring was only £4 from Dorothy Perkins. They also had a student discount offer on at 15% so £3.40 was a decent price I think, especially as I'll get a lot of wear out of it.

Technic - Mermaid: this brand I have only found in Bodycare but at 99p, I couldn't say no. I already have an 'Ibiza Mix' like glitter polish from this make and I find it very pretty on anything I use it on, and easy to apply so I was very tempted by 'Mermaid' today and gave into the temptation. I will do a review of this once I'm able to apply varnish to my nails again!

Now we are hitting very late Christmas presents from my friend Sarah. I literally cannot wait for a spare moment to be able to read this. I have stopped myself watching the film so I can read this first which means I won't be able to watch the film for a good while. Oh well, uni comes first, right?

I adore Soap & Glory products, they are literally all I use so when I unwrapped this bad boy I was a rather happy bunny! The 'youcube' contains a 50ml 'Righteous Butter' body moisturiser, a 50ml 'Flake Away' body polish, a 75ml 'Clean on Me' shower gel/creme and a 50ml 'Hand Food' hand cream. I haven't tried the moisturiser or the body polish and I can't wait to get the chance!

For items I didn't actually need today I only spend £4.39 so I'm actually rather happy with what I brought home. 

What do you think? Do you use Soap & Glory? Have you read 'The Help'?

Lots of love,
