Dorothy Perkins sale

Today I had one of those moments where you think 'oh I'll just have a look in there to kill time' and end up buying something, oops!
Before christmas, I was in Dorothy Perkins and saw a couple of things a really liked and thought about buying, I had already spent a bit too much last month as I started my new job at Next, meaning staff discount, and bought a load of stuff from there, as well as all my christmas shopping, so couldn't really justify spending anymore. Anyway, fortunately for me and unfortunately for my bank account they just so happened to have the two things I had my eye on in their sale. The first one, a black japanese-style kimono type thing with some lovely pink flowers on it, was £24.00, reduced to £5.00! I think my jaw literally dropped when I saw it. I then spotted a purple dress I really like that was £30.00 down to £10.00 and after a very short trip to the changing rooms (didn't need much time to decide) I bought them both! :D So i'm now a very happy bunny and the proud owner of two lovely new items of clothing, here they are...

The Kimono:
Ignore the snake print top!

Sorry about the pile of clothes!

Not my mess I promise!

Nina Ultra Pro - Caramel Cream

Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple of days, i'm back on track now!
Today's Nina is a reddy/brown sort of colour, burgundy I suppose with a nice, gold shimmer - they sure do love their shimmer's, especially gold!
Unfortunately, from wearing this polish the last three days I have come to the conclusion that the gold shimmer likes to hide. I have not once been able to see any of it whilst outside, sunny or not. When I'm inside, you can see it a little bit but only if you're really looking for it, my camera actually picked it up a lot better than my eyes!
That said, I do really like the actual colour of the nail polish so it's not that much of a bummer although it would be nice to see the shimmer, it wouldn't stop me from wearing it. You can sort of see the shimmer if you look at the bottle in the pictures below.





Application was good, it needed two coats and doesn't take very long to dry, I love this brand! What do you guys think of the colour?

Thanks for reading! xxx
