Fish egg accent nail with gold and glitter + new rings
I haven't done the fish egg manicure for a while, so I thought I can at least do an accent nail ;)

Stila Shine Lip Color SPF 20 in shade 04 Sarah - Review with swatches
Hi everyone,
This lipstick was another bargain. I paid £7.99 for a set of 3 Stila products, so it was less than £3! The normal retail price is £12! It comes with SPF 20 to protect lips from UV rays. The texture is creamy, non sticky and applies beautifully. The formula is very moisturising and leaves my lips really soft. It is a pale peachy pink colour. It looks very pigmented in the tube but goes on very sheer. It is buildable, but I prefer to apply it lightly for a natural look. It does have a nice, delicate vanilla scent and you can also smell the SPF a little bit but it doesn't put me off. It stays on for about an hour, so you need to reapply it very often, but I really don't mind, as it looks beautiful!
The packaging...oh the beautiful, beautiful packaging... I really like the attention to detail, the gorgeous flowery design on a sleek metal tube. Perfection!

NOTD: Nude + glitter + sheer top coat
I love nude and peach shades of nail polish combined with gold. It feels very elegant and classy.
I used nails inc. peach sorbet as a base, added a coat of Saffron's chunky glitter and finally two coats of OPI Care To Danse?
PS. Excuse my dry cuticles and a messy pinky :/ I keep forgetting to use cuticle oil :O

Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday dupe- Technic Carnival
Hello ladies,
First of all, I don't know what I was thinking buying DL nail polish. I bought Mermaid's Dream (£18) first, followed by the "Get this party started collection" for £28 (for 3 bottles), so it was quite expensive. I will do a review with swatches of the full set soon and share my thoughts. It was an impulse buy and I don't think I will spend this amount of money on nail polish ever again.
After seeing many dupes for "Happy Birthday" I decided to finally buy one, so I can show you the difference. I got the one from Technic in a shade called Carnival. I paid £2.07 for it including delivery (I got it from Amazon but it seems to be sold out now). I need to admit, they look very very similar. They are both multicoulour glitter nail polishes and that's enough for me to call them dupes ;) Happy Birthday has got more green and orange glitters and Carnival contains more blues and pinks. In the bottle they look different, but once applied they look very similar. Another thing I need to mention is the smell. Carnival smells really really strong and very unpleasant and gave me headache. DL Happy Birthday's smell isn't as strong and is manageable.
EDIT: I seen a few pictures of the Technic nail polish on other blogs and it looks a little bit different, I think that it depends on the batch, as I don't think anybody would attempt to make a fake of a £1 nail polish.
