It's All About The Nails - Golden Rose

I have purchased new brand (well new to me) of nail varnishes by Golden Rose Cosmetics http://goldenroseuk.co.uk/ and were surprisingly AMAZING. Not only the price is amazing but the product itself. Hands down the most addictive purchase is Barry M when it comes to nail varnishes, around 4 euro a bottle and most of the time you end up purchasing three due to Boots 3 for 2 deals! Golden Rose Cosmetics are affordable and have great variety, the nail varnishes are around 5£.
I however found them on my Autumn travels in Lithuania when shopping in Drogas and one bottle cost me 1.50!! The check out lady though I was mad, being so excited about this product. These are my purchases, two different kind of finish matte and normal glossy varnish.


1. Golden Rose Matte - 07
2. Golden Rose Matte Velvet - 110
3. Golden Rose Matte - 10

The colors I picked are this seasons most wanted. I have never worn matte nail varnishes and it blew my mind how nice it looks when dry! The lighting in my room wasn't great but I have uploaded my favorite in better light.


My favorite shade is the 07, kind of burgundy color with a deep and dark finish. You will not believe how quickly it dries also, maybe its because they are matte.. or maybe its just because its a great find.

These are the glossy finish, like all standard varnishes. I picked a palette which goes together for mix and match kind of idea. I love putting two different colors together and even having every second nail a different color.


1. Golden Rose Care & Strong - 171
2. Golden Rose Care & Strong - 222
3. Golden Rose Care & Strong - 197

The great thing about this collection you dont need a million coats to have a nice finish. Regarding black nail polishes its hard to come across ones that dont need 3/4 coats before it looks completely black with a nice finish. With Care & Strong collection I found you need 2 coats max for a nice effect. 

Where to find them: 
I have been looking and hunting about for bargains and it seems your best bets are http://www.beautycosmos.com/0,224,golden-rose-matte-nail-lacquer.html for the matte finish polishes and http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_nkw=golden+nail+polish at a great price range starting with 3 euro.

Arthurs Day Special Part 2

This is an another option to Arthurs Days outfit, the night time option. For clubbing and other bigger night time venues.


1. Cream Boat Neck Blouse - Miss Selfridge
White blouses can be formal and casual. I love the boat neck, looks so good with the higher bow... Hair  pulled back, up in a bun... You get the picture! Priced at 21 euros on sale..

2. Ultra Moisturizing Lip Paint (lp156) - Barry M
So glad that Barry M cough up with the trend and released darker shades! With moisturizing cocoa butter so it doesn't dry out your lips. They usually are around 5 euro, but sometimes Boots do 3 for 2 and thats a reason to get 3 different shades ;)

3. Lacquered Tribal Ring - Forever 21
The honest truth is that it will probably make your finger green after washing your hands a couple of times, or if you have very sweaty hands. Yeah but isn't it pretty.. Priced at 3,90.

4. Black Stud Cages Sandals - River Island
River can do no wrong regarding shoes. These shoes will probably last you more then one night out in the town.. They are gorgeous and look even better in real life. Pricey but gorgeous 110 euros.

5.  Petites Black Skater Skirt - Miss Selfridge
This skater skirt is waist banded and with an elastic band, great material and could be changed from day to evening wear. You could wear it with pumps or high heels it would still look good. Priced at around 20 euro.

6. Lips In Legend By Louise Gray (Bright Pink) - Topshop
"Velvet finish lipstick to smooth moisturise and nourish lips.Velvet finish lipstick to smooth moisturise and nourish lips."
Yes, yes they would tell you that.. But the reason I chose another lipstick colour for the outfit was because it actually can accompany several colour palettes! Priced at around 12 euros, saying that its nearly as much as MAC lipsticks so yano...
