#2 Minty Fresh

Today I enroled for college, woohoo! I'm finally doing what I've always wanted to do which is Uniformed Public Services Level 3. Its a course designed for those who want to join the Army, Navy or Police, which of course I do and I can't wait to get started especially after droping out of my A-Levels. So I spent my morning taking simple maths and english tests, paying the money for my course, meeting my tutor and having the horrific experience of having my college ID card picture taken. This card will never be seen to another single human being, it is just undescribeable how bad I look on this piece of plastic.

So when I got home I thought I'd treat myself to a bit of relaxation, which in my eyes is a good manicure! :-) I was out shopping monday with my boyfriend when he poped into Boots to buy some Hair Gel. When he was buying they gave him a £5 voucher to spend on their No7 brand, which of course is totally wasted on him, so i took this oppertunity to add to my ever growing nail varnish collection. Normally I am so predictable with what colours I wear they are usually dark colous such as Navys, Browns and Reds, so I went for what looked like a nice pastel baby blue; however it is very bright and sends shovers down my spine each time I look at it, I swear my fingertips are even cold because of it.. What do you think?!

It took 3 coats to finally get it to a good strong bold colour, and I found that actually the application brush was far to wide for my fingertips, but I'm very impressed with the total finish and the quickness of the drying.

This nail varnish cost me all but £2. The No7 varnishes are usually £7 but the free voucher took off a great £5. Now thats what I call a bargain!

No7 Stay Perfect in Minty Fresh 320

I'm still not to sure on this colour, as it's very different from my usual browns and reds. How do you think it looks?!

  13. No7 are such a bargain with the £5 off vouchers, don't think I'd pay the full £7 for them though - I recently picked up their new matte foundation with a voucher which I now love! xx
