Christmas Wish List!

Now I'm not really one for wishlists, especially publishing them and having people read them. I see it as being kind of greedy and it doesn't make me feel Christmassy at all. I see Christmas as, yes, a time for exchanging gifts, but also a time for spending with friends and family who I care about - I'm not a huge fan of focusing on the gifts although it's always nice! Since it's Christmas in just a few days, I thought I should make a post about this!

Drugstore Haul #1

So recently, I was a little bit naughty and had a splurge. Boots, my favourite "drugstore" in the UK, was having an offer where if you spent above £50, you received £12 worth of points on your loyalty card for every £50 spend and, naturally, I took part! It meant that I could stock up on some lovely products while reaping my benefits (or saving them for a rainy day) whilst I did so!

Autumn Favourites

So as it is most definitely Autumn, it's only right that I write a cheeky post about things I have been loving this Autumn so far! I love Autumn because you get to whack out all the cute knitted jumpers and it's an excuse to get all cosy and warm and light fires but it's also a sad time because it means putting away all my Summer clothes as there is no way I can feel comfortable wearing them, I get so cold so easily! So! Let's get straight into it...

♡ America - Sephora Haul ♡

I thought I would do a post of the products I bought in Sephora as I was able to pick up a mix of items there and I want to share them with you!

The I-Blame-Georgia Haul

Now, for those of you who follow me on Instagram, you'll know that the other week I finally met one of my best friends from there - Georgia (can be found on Instagram here and on her blog here). We began speaking about 4/5 months ago and have been so close ever since. We both decided that we needed to meet up for a shopping trip and so we set the date and when it happened, my god did we do some damage.

♡ America - Nail Haul ♡

I know I said this blog would be mainly about nails but, let's be honest, it really hasn't been has it? Haha! I just have so much else I want to write about aswell and I never realised how much there was swimming around in my head!

But finally! A nail post!

American Swap Haul!

As some of you may already know, I love doing package swaps with people who live in different countries to me because there are so many cool things you can get elsewhere that you can't in the UK! Or, at least, if you can get it in the UK it's horribly expensive to cover shipping costs. So I did a package swap with a lovely lady called Frederica, whose Instagram you can find here, and she was so generous! 

50 Facts About Me!

So I've had a few requests to do this post and thought it would be fun! Little did I know just how long this would take me! But at least you now know a little more about me... Enjoy!

Autumn Winter Wishlist

So, as Autumn descends, it's only right that I have a little wishlist of things I think would be perfect for Autumn and that I wish can one day be mine!

♡ America - MAC Haul ♡

So a lot of you have asked for my MAC haul to be next in the series of posts based on my trip to America, so here you go! During my trip, I visited three MAC stores - all of them in New York. One on Fifth Ave, one on Soho Broadway, and one on Times Square, and each time I walked out with a fairly sizeable chunk missing from my funds!

♡ New York ♡

So this post has been really hard for me to write because every time I look at my journal entries on the app Day One (really good for keeping a diary when travelling - get it!) I want to cry because I miss this holiday and this place and want to go back. But, alas, I am not made of money and can't afford such luxuries as and when I please. If there's anyone who would like to take me to New York again then please, speak up! Until then, we can live vicariously through my diary entries...

♡ America - Benefit Haul ♡

So Benefit is one of those brands which I never used to be sure about. Up until recently, I didn't own many of their products purely because of the limited colours available (and the price range!). But in America, the price is quite a lot cheaper so I knew that buying any items I was interested in out there would save me quite a bit of money!

Back to School

Although I'm now at University, I still get those "Back to School" nerves before term starts. I'm excited to see all my friends in one place, excited to catch up on everyone's holiday experiences, excited to start a brand new pad of paper and excited to wear any new clothes that I have acquired over the summer.

♡ Boston ♡

So, as many if you probably know, this summer I was finally able to go on the trip I've been waiting for since I was 11 - I went to America.

July Favourites!

So, as many people do, I've decided to post about my favourite products of July!

I've been super busy throughout this month, although I've still found time to somehow shop and spend more money than I should on products I really don't need but really want. Know what I mean? And it's only fair that I share my favourites with you, right?! Right.

(Not so) Mini Haul

So I've been a little bit naughty and have been spending money when I'm meant to be saving it for Boston. NAUGHTY SOPHIE. But in return I have obtained some lovely things! So it isn't all bad I guess!

And here they are..

♡ Q & A! ♡

Helloooo!

So recently I have had a mare of a time - three (yes three!) of my nails on my "swatching" hand broke really far down and as a result I've had to file my nails super short (for me).

I'm really unhappy with them at the moment which is why you're not getting a nail post this week - sorry! I'm waiting until they grow back a little :)

So, you're getting something a little different!

My current lipstick collection

Anyone who knows me well will know that I have an obsessive personality. This means that when I like something, I like lots of it. For example: nail polish, Cadburys Marvellous Creations (the jelly popping candy one) and all of a sudden - lipsticks.

I know I said this blog would mainly be about nails and I've only done one nail post so far, but remember I said MAINLY. It's nice to have something to mix it up. So prepare for the essay of a lifetime - literally.

Nail Inspo!

So recently I've been super busy.

As some of you may know, I'm at University studying to be a Primary school teacher. Unlike many other degrees, my course finished on the 26th June, which was about a month later than all my other friends and it meant that while everyone else seemed to be out having an amazing time I was stuck in lectures that were about depressing things (I have two 10,000 word dissertations to begin next academic year - eek!).

As well as this, it was my 21st birthday on the 27th of June, and I moved house on the 29th!! Busy busy!

I'll be doing a post soon about all the lovely things I did on my birthday and will probably write about the gifts I received too because I'm so happy about them, but today I'm posting about a one of the nail bloggers who inspired my favourite nails that I've done so far.

My current polish collection

As it stands, I currently own 73 bottles of nail polish (not including base/top coats).

This is the first time I have ever counted them up like this.

And I've just given quite a few of the ones I didn't use to a friend...

Oops.

I'll get round to swatching them all eventually (hopefully) but the breakdown is this...

Oh, hey!

So this is my first post. Ever. Yay!

I'm not used to Blogspot in the slightest so please bear with me whilst I get my head around it!

I'll be using this blog to post mainly about nail polish I own/want and maybe some other cheeky cosmetic treats - who knows!
