Current Perfume - Paco Robanne Lady Million

Hello! So since Christmas I've been meaning to write a post on my new favourite perfume; Paco Robanne Lady Million.
I've been eyeing up this perfume for months now, testing it everytime I go into department stores, and I recieved it as a Christmas present!

I'm pretty sure the first thing that drew me to this perfume was the gorgeous bottle! It's very loud, gaudy and maybe a little excessive ;) - But I love it! I love the fact that everything about the perfume is gold - the lid, the glass and the perfume liquid itself! 

I recieved the 30ml bottle, which unlike the larger bottles, has a detachable lid. The other bottle sizes do not have a lid, but a button that presses down on top. I personally like the fact that this has a lid as I can carry it around in my handbag without worrying about the button being accidently pressed down, therefore leaking in my bag - Haha!

I'm not amazing at guessing scents but by smelling it myself I get strong sweet, floral notes. It's SO lovely and can be worn day or night, in my opinion!

The real scents in the perfume are: Fresh top notes of bitter orange, fleshy raspberry and neroli, followed by floral notes of orange blossom and Arabian jasmine and base notes of patchouli, honey and amber. So I guess I wasn't too wrong!

So that's that, all I can say is this is my absolute favourite perfume in my collection, without a doubt! This is the 'au de Parfum' and therefore is strong, and the smells lasts nearly all day! It's lovely, and is definitely one of those perfumes that you look forward to spraying everyday!

Have you tried Lady Million? If not, what's your favourite perfume at the moment?

Festive, Glitter Nails

So, Christmas is just round the corner, and I thought I would paint my nails these gorgeous festive colours. I two Barry M colours, 'Raspberry' and 'Yellow Topaz Glitter', and they work perfectly together, especially for this time of year!

I have tried to create a gradient glitter effect, inspired purely by a 'Sprinkleofglitter' video, that she posted a while back now! I have been meaning to try the technique out ever since watching it, but I thought Christmas was the perfect excuse! ;) 

The two colours I used, 'Yellow Topaz Glitter' (left) and 'Raspberry' (right)

 I started off by painting just one coat of 'Raspberry' to my nails, which is already gorgeous on it's own. I then, after waiting for that to dry, painting a fine coat the glitter polish from around half my nail, to the tips. After that had completely dried (very important!), I painted another coat of glitter from around a quater of the way down, to the tips. I then painted a very small amount again, only to the tips. 

How gorgeous is this glitter polish?! It's mainly gold glitter but has multi-coloured irridesent glitter in it.

My nails finished, baring in mind this photo does NOT do it justice!

 Anyway, that's my nails done. I loved doing this, and I do not have a steady hand, so am not brilliant at nail art, although anyone can do this! If I can, then you definately can. :)

The 'Pretty Quik' nail varnish remover, sold in places such as Boots.

 Oops, and I nearly forgot! If you've ever used glitter nail polish, you will know what an absolute pain it is to remove! This nail varnish remover is great as you just dip your nail in, swirl it around a bit and remove. No nail polish remover will get rid of glitter quickly, but this one is pretty good!
