I'm no nail expert, but this is the way I like to remove stubborn glitter nail polish so I thought I'd share it with you guys in case you didn't already know this way. 

I have had the same eyebrow routine for 7 years so this blog post is WAY overdue, I really can't believe I've never spoken about this.

I have been loving opening my Ciaté advent calendar every day this month and I'm hoping to do a post on my favourite picks from the lot when I finish it. For this nail look I used two of the colours I found inside, Dangerous Affair and Ladylike Luxe. 

Last week I went to see what Nails Inc has in store for their future launches, but I had no idea how many new nail polish ideas I'd see. Normally brands launch with one big new idea, but we discovered about five at this one event. 

Another night on the sofa watching Made in Chelsea means another night relaxing and painting my nails. This time I had no idea what I was going to do so I headed upstairs to my nail polish collection, picked up a few polishes, a dotting tool and headed back down to my sofa and my onesie. 

Now I know this won't be for everyone, this is a luxury brand so naturally the prices are quite high. But I can't stress enough how amazing the products are so if this is within your Christmas budget then it is so worth it! My mum and I are big fans as I said and I've loved every Jo Malone product I've ever bought. 

Latest in Beauty got in touch to tell me about the advent calendar they have created with YOU magazine. There are only 10,000 of these limited edition calendars available, they are worth £210 and sell for £59.95.

The shadows in the palette are a mix of mattes, shimmers, satins, neutrals and brights so there really is something for everyone. If you haven't used Urban Decay shadows before then this is a great way to introduce yourself to the brand as it really shows off the amazing quality of their shadows.

If you follow me on Instagram (lilypebbles) then you'll know that I'm quite into nail art. Now I'm not saying I'm actually any good at it, it's just something I enjoy. For the past year I've been using the Model's Own nail art pen which is really good, but it is limited in colours. I thought it was about time I bought some nail dotting tools. 

GLOSSYBOX has just launched a brand new concept to compliment their existing monthly box and their occasional 'Flash Boxes'. It's called the Exclusive Edition and the idea of it is to delve into a beauty topic/problem even more and offer up the 5 products they recommend to help.

For someone who paints their nails every other day, I'm really awful at actually looking after my nails. I've slowly been forcing myself to take better care of my nails and although I'm still pretty lazy I am getting a bit better. 

I've stuck to the same perfumes for most of my adult life... so having these two in my life is quite exciting for me. Although these are not marketed specifically as Autumn perfumes, they are to me so that's what I'm calling them! 

Who needs chocolate eh? Ok... let's not go that far. To be fair Christmas is filled with so much chocolate anyway (anyone else hang chocolate off the tree?? We do!) so I'm more than happy to replace my Cadbury's advent calendar with this beauty. 

We went crazy for them because of their cute name, cute packaging and easy application, and now Clinique have updated the collection with the Chubby Stick Intense. These will be hitting counters mid November, just in time for the Christmas party season!

Rimmel are launching loads of great new products for A/W and these Metal Rush nail polishes are just some of them. They come in four shades that all change colour depending on the light. My favourite out of the four is 'Pearly Queen'.

I don't normally talk about press launches as it's the product that's of interest not the event, but in this case I just have to because it was so incredible. It was held in a tent in a London park in the middle of the day. It was so English and there were Hunter wellies everywhere!

I picked up this AA Neon Red nail polish quite a long time ago and haven't actually worn it as much as I thought I would. I was expecting bright neon but was a little disappointed as to me it looks more like a bright red, rather than a neon. Apparently it helps if you apply a base of nude polish underneath the neon, but I haven't tried that yet. 

Backstage was buzzing and in true Topshop style it felt fresh, new and exciting. Let's start with nails.... one word, nude. So many shows this season have done nude nails, maybe crazy nail art will be dead by Spring/Summer? For this show they used Topshop's 'Nice n Neutral' which is a very natural, skin tone nude.

The story behind the hair look for the Todd Lynn show was my favourite of them all. The Toni&Guy session team was lead by Cos Sakkas and was based on a 'wealthy woman on safari'. 

The Yifang Wan show was at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout at Freemasons Hall, a venue I've walked past hundreds of times but never been into. The building is gorgeous and historic, but enough of that... onto the hair!
