urban.

ana took my damn camera home in her bag (by accident) so i have to wait til tomorrow to get it back. hmph.
here are some shoddy photobooth shots instead.

shakuhachi* dress//uniqlo cardi//henry holland tights

so this dress i got in the urban outfitters sale came. it was £170 down to £80, and i was tempted. and then it went down to £40, and swiftly into my basket. i would never have bought it at full price, but there you go.

also:


...barry m nails (a closer inspection). must note, everyone bangs on about how good barry m polishes are, but this one took 3 coats to get an even, bright colour and is a bit runny, AND chipped after a couple of days. not largely impressed. but they did have lots of colours, and maybe it's the nature of the colour i chose (got a bright orange one too but haven't tried it yet)

* shakuhachi is a medium-high end label which is pretty cute - a little too cutesy in places but some nice jersey pieces.... you can see/buy pieces at urban outfitters and at asos, but my dress is sold out now.

Did you put base coat on under your nail varnish?
I have Barry M's Spring Green and I ran out of base coat, and decided to just whack it straight onto my nails...and they went yellow, I looked like I'd been smoking since birth :(
I know it's not just Barry M nail polish that'd do that, but it's dead annoying.
I would bleach it off, but I'm frightened of ruining my nails even more lol x

Cool dress, and £130 saving is amazing!

Know what you mean about Barry M - it takes rather a lot of the stuff to get the colour nice and sharp but the range is good.

The worst nail polish I've used is Boots 17 fast finish. I could do about 5 coats and the colour still wouldn't be opaque...

I have no recommendations for base coat, haha, I used to use some clear nail varnish I've had for yearrrrs (until it ran out, obv, hence the yellow nail 'mare)
I don't paint my nails enough to warrant investing substantial money on it, like.
Maybe Barry M do one...I've never checked =/
But yeah, stained yellow nails = vom, haha
