NOTD: MUA Nail Varnish in ‘Shade 3′

In my recent MUA haul I received this gorgeous nail varnish in ‘Shade 3′. The varnish only cost £1 and, like most MUA products, it has proved to be AMAZING value for money.
One thing I love about MUA nail varnishes (and my mum said this too so it must be true!) is that their brushes are really good quality – they’re not floppy like some cheap brand brushes, so the varnish goes on smoothly and evenly without making any mess. This varnish was slightly runnier than Shade 13 which I reviewed previously, so it took three coats to give completely opaque coverage. I was pleasantly surprised as well because it dried really quickly in just a few minutes compared to other runny nail varnishes I’ve used.
The picture above gives a really accurate representation of the colour of this varnish and IT IS BEAUTIFUL! It’s not often that I’m wowed by nail varnish shades these days, but I cannot stop looking at my nails at the minute. The best way I can describe it is it’s a bright dusky pink with violet undertones, with a shiny jelly finish.
Another great thing is that this varnish lasts – so far I have no chips or scuffs, and no peeling – perfect! I really can’t rate this nail varnish highly enough, I love it. Thanks again MUA for another fantastic product!

Summer Dress Bargains!

This past week I’ve treated myself to a few pretty dresses ready for late Spring/Summer, and all of them have been fantastic bargains!
The first dress I bought was a mustard and black belted skater style dress from Chiara Fashion. It cost £4.95 (plus p+p) in the sale.
I don’t usually wear yellow but this is a really lovely shade and, as an added bonus, I even have a nail varnish which is a perfect match!
This second dress was from Primark and cost just £3 in the sale! I swear Primark put some of their stock straight into the sale without trying to sell it full price first as I’d never seen this before, but hey, I’m not complaining! I think the button detail is really cute and the colours really stand out. The dress is even shaped at the breast and slightly fitted at the waist for a flattering fit.
My last purchase is my absolute favourite and the most expensive at £10 from Asda. I adore purple and bright colours and this dress was just made for me – it’s just so pretty! It is a similar cut to the Primark dress above and is made of light cotton, which is perfect for warm days. I may dress this with leggings and a shrug tomorrow though as I can’t wait to wear it.
And of course, here’s an obligatory changing room shot…
Which dress do you like best? Have you started your summer dress shopping yet?
