Review: modelsown- Blubblegum

Hey! today I decided to do another nail polish review on the modelsown Bubblegum from the Ice Neon collection. I thought that this would help some you make a decision on whether to buy this product or not, especially if you are a lover of nail polishes like I am. Apologies for the lack of posts these past two weeks its just that my computer was not allowing me to upload pictures, which is a definite no no in my books but now that its back on track I can blog a lot more now! 


I was really attracted to this collection: 1) because I have really been loving neon's these past few months and 2) because they are awesome for the summer time. I have been switching from this to the Barry M gelly nail paints this summer. I wrote all about the Gelly range from Barry M in my previous post if you would want to have a look at that. When I first decided to get this nail polish I thought it was going to be quite sheer and not opaque enough, to my liking. I was sooooo wrong about that, the colour pay off is incredible one coat of this and you are good to go, I have to say though it does dry matte so if you are not into that you can always just add a top coat which is what I do for the shine factor. It has great staying power for about 4-5 days which is a lot better than some others that I own. The price is much more the average nail polish price at £5.00. The packaging has a frosted finish and the aim of this was to be able to put it in a refrigerator, this is so that the fluoro can keep its brightness this does not affect the nail polish in any way I have kept mine in fridge ever since I bought it and it still works just fine, the consistency has not thickened at all as I though it would. I would have to give this product a 3/5 , I would have preferred the polish to have a shiny finish and for the price to be a little lower, other than that I don't really have anything negative to say about this!
 
I hope this quick post helped some of you. I talk you in my next post!

Camo&Neon mash up!

I put together this really cool outfit (well at least I think so), its slightly grungy with the creepers but you could also just wear it with combat boots or like the pair that I have shown below. I didn't take very good pictures of the full outfit, I apologise for that but I think you get the general idea.
white plain tank top: anywhere
camo over-sized shirt: New Look
Velvet (kind of) skirt: New Look
Knee High Socks: M&S
Neon Pink Mini Satchel: Topshop
Creepers: New Look
Laced up suede boots: New Look
Spiked Necklace: Topshop
Rose Gold Watch: Newlook
(sorry, I really can't remember the prices to all of these items but each of them are under £20.00)
I mean who doesn't love a bit of camo and neon in their lives so I decided to mash the two up in this outfit:









                               



I hope this gave some what an idea of how you could style camo or neon and I would love to know in the comments what you thought about the outfit. If you have any posts that you would like me to do just let me know in the comments as well and I would gladly do them!

Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel


Not going to lie I have been kinda slacking with my blog lately which is not something that I am proud of but I do have a perfectly valid excuse: I have been doing a lot of revising of late because I am in my final year GCSE's, and my exams are not too far away which makes me want to cry just typing it.

BUT, forget the slightly depressing part of my life; lets all take time to admire the these two gorgeous creations the Celine Luggage Tote Vs Cambridge Satchel two items that are definitely on my wish list, even though the price is SO of my budget. A girl can dream right?











I don't think that these two bags have ever been compared to each other because they are completely different to one another. The Celine Luggage Tote looks very chic and not very practical in other words it would need to be well taken care of especially considering the price which is $2,000 for the solid colour which could go up to at least $3,400 according to size. The bag comes in four different sizes, nano, micro, mini and phantom and after watching a fair amount of YouTube videos on reviews for these beauties it was all positive. A lot of the YouTubers said that they manage to fit quite a bit of stuff in there such as a laptop, Ipad, a book, purse and a phone all in at once this obviously goes for the phantom but for the smaller sizes you would want to be a more cautious with the weight of the items that you put in the bag because the wear and tear of the bag will not last very long. Overall, the Celine bag is definitely something that I would like to purchase when I have finances (LOL). My attraction for this bag definitely came from the Kardashian/Jenner Klan, I think even baby Penelope has a miniture version of it.

The Cambridge Satchel is so "London" and I am so obsessed with London fashion which is what attracts me to this bag even more. I was first introduced to this bag by the google chrome advert on TV. If you live in the UK you might know what I'm talking about if not just YouTube "Google Chrome Cambridge Satchel advert" and it should come up. When I saw the ad I was instantly attracted to the bag, let alone the actual story about how it all began and being a Fashion Blogger I found it really inspiring. After all the reviwes that I watched a lot of the vloggers said that the Cambridge Satchel is a very structured bag, one of the reasons being that the bag is made from real strong leather which I guess is a good thing because you know that it will last you a long time and the bag won't really lose it's original shape which is what I think attracts people to the bag in the first place. For some this might be a bit of a hassle if you are someone like me who just throws in whatever you need for the day and you are out the door.


As for me I don't really know which is my favourite, haven't made my mind up just yet but I would love to hear what's your personal favourite or you can just tell me about your all time favourite bag so make sure you comment below!

hope you enjoyed!
