Nail Review Missguided.co.uk Splash Nude Polish

Autumn/Winter season Is here upon us and although fingers are mostly hidden in gloves & coat pockets, there is still reason to paint those nails!

I am always looking for new polishes to try and to my delight, Missguided have a brand new range of 6 nail polishes including a gorgeous nude polish called "Miscellaneous".

 "Miscellaneous"

I love neutral polishes, the nude colour  is well suited to the Autumn season.  The packaging of the product its very cute and like the gold italics against the black background.

 

The consistency is very nice and polish glided on very smoothly.  My usual technique is to firstly apply a thin layer then a second. It dried very well and though I was expecting it to smudge, it didn't! 

I do love how sophisticated the nude nail polish looks and can go with almost anything.  Unlike some nail polishes which don't always turn out like you had hoped (either too dark or too light).

Missguided nude nail polish is definitely nude and exactly the colour it is in the bottle! Fabulous!

(Also available in 5 other colours my favourites include Missbehave in cotton candy and Missunderstood classic deep red)

Available in six colours!

NYC in Fall 2010

 Me in MAC..uber happy!

I've just come back from visiting family in NYC and had an amazing time out there.  I visited my favourite stores Victoria Secrets and got the georgous Vanilla Coconut Passion.

Vanilla Coconut Passion Mist..divine!

This scent is one of my favourites, a soft warm vanilla with a hint of coconut once settled on the skin,  the perfect scent for crispy cool season of Autumn/Fall.

I also visited Ugg Store and bought a long pair in chestnut. brown.  This is the second pair of Uggs I have bought from the NYC store I seem to always buy them in New York!  Winters in London can be cruel so what better way to keep my toes warm and cosy with these beauties!?

I can't wait to wear my new Uggs this Winter!

The weather was surprisingly good for Autumn/Fall temperatures reaching 19degrees on some days so of course I had to make the most of it *wink wink*.

Jumpsuit - Primark

Sandals - New Look

Bag - Primark

Sweater - George, Asda

Shorts - Primark

I ♥ bows so this is definately one of my favourites from Christian Louboutins feminine and fierce all at once, they are the perfect statement heels and can be worn with  jumpsuits, dresses or skinny jeans and blouses instead.   If you can't afford the real deal, then there are a few good copies on the highstreet.

Very.co.uk has a great copy of Christian Louboutin bow sandals available in black, pink/cherry and purple.
