When shopping's banned, you know what really cheers me up? Shopping. For smaller stuff.
I'm really sick of my sad little nail varnish selection, so I trundled off to the Mavala counter at my local beauticians in search of an update.
Being a small sort of place, they didn't exactly have the best selection. In fact I might be tempted to use the word 'naff'.
Pearlised everything, and almost all red, pink or suspicious brown. Luckily I managed to unearth a gem. Standing on its own, unworthy of an allocated spot on the naffstand, was a pot of 'Berlin' – a pale, grey shade (far left, below).
I love Mavala Minis; they come in millions of colours, and are small and cheap (under £4.00 each). After all, has anyone ever actually finished a nail varnish? Mine turn into weird, gelatinous gloop long before I reach the bottom of the pot.
I've got a couple of meetings next week that definitely require chic Lauren Conrad nails: now I need to put together a suitably chic outfit.
This was a thinly veiled excuse to post some more pictures of LC.
I painted my nails. It's pretty much the same colour as LC's in the pictures. longtallally.co.uk recommended Essie's 'Great Expectations' as a truly pale grey. I shall purchase it in due course!
ReplyDeleteMine are grey today too - Velvet Tuxedo by Ciate.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit too metallic to be as cool as LC's. OK, pearlised.
I am wearing it with pride though, simply because I bothered to put it on...
Me too! Every time I look at my nails I feel smug!
ReplyDeleteit looks beyond fab, darling....this is the first and probably last time you will hear me giving LC kudos :) great color!
