New Nails: American Apparel Neons

I picked up 3 of the new American Apparel Neon nail polishes the other day. I got Neon Yellow, Neon Green & Neon Orange. The other colours available are Neon Red, Neon Coral, Neon Violet & Neon Blue so you can have a whole neon rainbow on your fingertips. I must say I really love these colours! Kinda wish I'd bought all seven now. I'm definitely a bright nail polish person, I have hardly any dark colours in my collection but these 3 are unlike any others that I have. Even the brightest Barry M ones have nothing on these. Its not really apparent in the photos but in real life these are the exact same colour as highlighter pens. The yellow is especially bright. I'd not tried any of the American Apparel polishes before but I'm pretty impressed with the quality. The colour is opaque in two coats but I'd definitely add some Seche Vite or your other favourite top coat if you like a lot of shine like I do. The formula is fairly thick so a quick dry top coat is the way to go. Another good thing about them is that they are DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde-free. I spent a fortune on some Zoya polishes when I was pregnant just because they didn't have these ingredients. The American Apparel Neon nail polishes cost £7 each or you can get 3 for £17.

Hiya babes! I got back from London on Wednesday night and I'm really missing it already. I feel like I did more last week than I normally do in a month! On Friday I went shopping round Oxford Street and spent a ridiculous amount in Topshop, American Apparel, MAC & Illamasqua before having a huge pulled pork sandwich in my beloved Bodean's & a papaya bubble tea in my fave dim sum cafe in China Town. Then on Saturday I went with my mum & Chloe on a day trip to Brighton. I'd never been before so I was really excited to go. We had cupcakes from Angel Food Bakery in the Lanes and then went to the pier for some fish & chips. Chloe loved the wind in her hair, eating mushy peas & she got to meet her hero Igglepiggle haha. Sunday was spent chillaxing before another day trip to Oxford. That place is ridiculously touristy! I'd never been there before either but I won't be going back in a hurry. We had lunch in Jamie's Italian where I had a lovely burger with some polenta chips. My hayfever really ruined that day for me, I sneezed literally every minute we were there. People must've thought I was diseased!

On Tuesday I finally got to go to Westfield! We ate in Wahaca which is my 2nd fave restaurant ever (Bodean's being the first!). Gotta love a good taco. Reading back this entry its no wonder I've put on a few pounds! We saw Nick Hewer filming for the Junior Apprentice. I think they were running a flower stall but I only found that out after we left, gutted we didn't buy any when the girl tried to sell them to us. Should be interesting to watch, hopefully my face won't appear in the background! Then we walked around the shops. Finally managed to buy a MAC Ever Hip lipstick after going to 3 different stores in London searching for it. The girl there said they had loads left so if you're looking for one, head to Westfield sharpish. I also got a nail polish from Inglot. Actually in total I bought 6 nail polishes last week, I must be mental. I bought this pink skirt from Zara which was only £7 in the sale and all this awesome gold triangular jewellery from Gogo Philip as all their stock was half price. Anyone whos been to Westfield, did you go in a shop called Gilly Hicks? I'd never heard of it before but it was so weird, like an Australian Hollister on crack. I hate shops like these, how are you supposed to see any of the bloody clothes? As we were leaving I swear the girl at the front said 'Have a super awesome day you guys!'. Dear god...

Wow, could I look more depressed? Well to be honest that's because I am. If you follow me on Twitter you may have noticed me moaning about my boyfriend going in holiday. It would be bad enough if he was just going on holiday without me but he's gone to Malia with his mates. A land full of drunken whores. Fabulous. I swear he still thinks he's a single 20 year old rather than nearly 27 with a fiancé & a baby. He only went this morning but I miss him so much already. This situation definitely warrants my heartbroken shoes. They're by Fornarina who are probably only known for that horrific advert Lindsay Lohan did for them. But they actually do some nice clothes & all their shoes are dead cute. I got them free as part of one of those Carnaby Street discount nights which makes me love them all the more.

Speaking of London, thats where I'll be from Thursday onwards. So I suppose I do have something to be excited about. Can't wait to hit up the shops & Westfield especially. I've not been back home since April 2009 so it'll nice to go back to all my old haunts. I'm ready for some epic Bromley times & to see some old friends. It will also be nice to have some internet for a change. I'm currently writing this on my phone which is probably more effort than it's worth. Can't even read any blogs which is just rubbish & probably not helping my mood. Hope you're all feeling better than I am at the moment!
