Lazy Summer Days | Fav TV Shows

                  Hiya!
If your summer is anything like mine not everyday is full of adventure or even socialising... This post is my passing in some of my antisocial expertise and showing you some of my favourite tv shows to binge on during those days where all you do is sit in and drink tea. (aka my entire summer)
 
First up is Gossip Girl. If you somehow haven't watched this show I would make it a priority this summer to watch this incredible show. I don't want to ramble too much about this one but Gossip Girl is definitely one of my all time favourite shows. Even if you have watched it before why not take a trip down memory lane and re watch some episodes.. which is exactly what I'm currently doing. (psssh I talk more about GG HERE)
 
Desperate Housewives, I don't even know where to begin. DH is hands down my all time favourite show. It has the perfect mix of comedy, serious story lines, relationships and heart ache. If for whatever reason you don't know what the show is about it's based around 4 housewives living on a little suburban street called Wisteria Lane. It basically shows these women dealing with their families, friends and work life. The show deals with some pretty dark story lines right from the get go. There's always some sort of drama going on.
The show certainly isn't overly girly and due to the humour both girls and guys can enjoy it. If you need a new great show to get obsessed over make this it! Also thanks to there being so many episodes you certainly won't be bored this summer.
 
Next is The Vampire Diaries, another favourite with many. I've been watching TVD since it's premier and loved it from the start. I really didn't think it would be something I'd be into but it's became a firm fav. The story lines are super gripping and always leaves you wanting the next episode. If you like a show with some action but still a little bit of romance TVD is perf for you.
 
AWKWARD is again a show I watched from the very start and loved. From the adverts it seemed right up my alley and I couldn't wait to watch it. However the show was different to how I expected it and somehow turned out much better than I could have imagined! It's a slightly different take on the typical high school show, it's almost believable compared to something like 90210 where they wear heels everyday and drive incredible cars. If you want to watch something you don't have to think about or really concentrate on AWKWARD is the show for you. Also thanks to the episode only being 20 minutes they're great to watch while getting ready.
 
 
What are some of your favourite tv shows?
Hope you guys enjoyed!

Spring Nail Polish Favourites

               Hiya!
I'm so over winter. The beginning of March may seem a little early for a post about spring (especially with the weather in the UK) but I'm ready for sunshine, longer days and shorts!
These are just a few of my favourite spring nail polishes from my collection that I'm already wearing.
The first is an Avon colortrend polish in 'Very Violet'. This is a greyish-blue with purple reflects in it. I like this colour as it's different to many of my other spring colours as it's not a cream finish. It's also what I currently have on my nails as it's my newest polish.
One of my all time favourite colours is OPI's 'Pink Friday' from the Nicki Minaj collection. This is a perfect medium pink colour with a cream finish, which is my favourite type of finish (as you will see from this post). This polish does sometimes go a little bit streaky but it's worth working with as the colour's so pretty. It was from a limited addition collection but I'm sure you'd be abe to tract it down online somewhere.
Barry M have some great pastel colours for the spring but these are the 2 I have in my collection. The first is 'Berry IceCream', which is a light parma violet purple. It is again a cream finish but unlike the OPI polish it doesn't go streaky so it's quick and easy to apply.
The next Barry M polish is 'Blue Moon', this is very similar to Barry M's Blueberry Icecream but differs as Blue Moon has a very slight blue reflect in it which doesn't make it a cream finish. It's still a very pigmented colour, just like all the other polishes mentioned in this post.
Avon polishes are probably my favourite brand of nail polishes, all the colours I've tried have been greatly pigmented, don't chip easily and apply easily (except for one). 'Lemon Sugar' is the one colour from Avon I've had a slight problem with as it goes a little bit streaky but it's totally worth it as the colour is beautiful and makes your look tanner than you actually are (always a bonus!). It's also a really flattering yellow colour as yellow can sometimes be a hard colour to wear without it making your nails look gross.
The final spring polish I have chosen is Avon's 'Loving Lavender'. This may look similar to the Barry M polish but this polish is much more a true purple colour and is a good bit darker than the Barry M one. This again is a cream finish but doesn't go streaky and wears very well. 
 
I'm always on the look out for more nail polish colours so if you guys have any favourites, let me know!
Hope you guys enjoyed this post
Love, Julie xx
