Models Own Grape Juice and Pukka Purple
I've wanted to try the Ice Neon and Scented Models Own polishes for absolutely ages and on a shopping trip last week I decided to pick them up as it was buy one get on half price. I managed to use my Boots points to cover the cost so I practically got them for free!

I was quite intrigued about the Ice Neon polish and once I'd had a quick scratch and sniff of the lid of the Grape Juice polish I just had to pick it up. The lid included a little scratch and sniff tab and I particularly liked the scent as it reminded me of the scented gel pens I used to use at school. I had tons of the things and they smelt so good!

I love the shade of Grape Juice but unfortunately when it's on your nails the scent doesn't really stay around for long. You can get a faint whiff but I was hoping I'd be smelling grapes all day long. Unfortunately not.

I was a bit more impressed with the Ice Neon polish in Pukka Purple. The last thing you'd expect to see in a fridge is a nail polish, but apparently the Ice Neon polish can be kept cold in the fridge to improve it's neon-ness. I really love the colour and matt finish. I'd love to try some more shades from the range as they all look really bright and colourful. I kind of played it safe with the purple as I thought it'd look nice as an accent nail alongside Grape Juice.

They're both great novelty polishes, but unfortunately they couldn't withstand the washing up test and both chipped a little. I love both shades and I'd definitely recommend them! I'm really keen to try a couple more of the scented polishes, especially the apple one.

I can't believe I spent Monday on the beach in the boiling hot sun and by Saturday it was chucking down with rain!

I spent Monday with my sister and my niece in town having a delicious lunch and a walk along the beach. We stopped and sat on the sand and Daisy had a great time throwing it all around. The week went pretty quickly and on Friday it was my sister's 23rd birthday. I can't believe my baby sister is 23, even that makes me feel old! We spent Saturday afternoon in Bristol shopping and eating delicious burgers at GBK. It was really difficult to shop in Primark on a Saturday afternoon, however I did manage to pick up a nice dress so it turned out to be quite a success.

Today I went to the car boot sale with my parents, sister and Daisy. Holly did quite well and got lots of stuff for the new baby but I only managed to get myself a book! Disappointing. Holly and I are actually hoping to do a car boot sale sometime soon. I have so much stuff to sell and having just got a new wardrobe, I've recently had a sort out. Some stuff still has the tags on, oops!

How has your week been?

Good news! I've discovered a new iPhone app, and I think just about every other blogger has discovered it as well! I've been looking for something to print off a few of my Instagram snaps and I came across new iPhone app Printic.

You simply download to your phone and give it access to your camera roll, then you can print off your pics to your heart's content for just $0.99 each.

The instructions are really simple to follow and delivery was relatively quick too. Payment is also easy peasy and is all done through Paypal. You can order as many photos as you wish and they arrive in a cute little envelope printed in a Polaroid style. They're the perfect size for some of my teeny photo frames and I'd really recommend the app. I will definitely be using it more in the future!
