SheLikes.com is a leading on-line shopping store, which offers women's fashion items including clothes, shoes and accessories. At She Likes you are sure to find all the latest catwalk trends as soon as they hit...

I'd never actually come across She Likes before, and I've never been one for buying clothes on-line as sizes etc always vary from store to store. I was offered something from their site to try out, so I opted for a safer option, and chose these beautiful Leather Look Gold Studded Slipper Shoes.

They are flat "Slipper" style shoes, which means they are super comfortable but also stylish at the same time. The  bold, gold studs really compliment the simple nude leather look. The rubber ridged soles are of good quality, and provide a good grip. They also have a small step heel, which I can only assume will make them last much longer than other "flat" shoes.

These shoes are so versatile, and can be used to dress up a casual outfit, or dress down a formal, dressy style outfit. I can tell I'll get a lot of wear out of them, I can even wear them to work at the office! 

Here's a quick outfit I've put together including them...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Bandeau Skater Dress! This is definitely going on my list for Pay Day!

Also, an added bonus, I received my shoes super quickly after dispatch, so no need to worry about long delivery times when you order! :)

Eye Candy London is a brand I've not tried before, but after trying out out this beautiful shade I really want to get my hands on a few more from the range!

Eye Candy London - Peppermint Dream is a creme shade of turquoise-blue with mint green undertones. The photo's above show my natural nails with a base coat and then two coats of the polish. As you can see, it offers completely opaque coverage with the 2 coats and finishes with a glossy effect. 

The brush is really easy to use for smooth application, and doesn't leave any streaks or patches. The packaging is simple, yet stylish and professional looking. The clear bottle makes easy work of noticing the shade inside, and you get a generous 12ml of product. 

This shade is so on trend for the upcoming Spring/Summer months. However, considering I live in the UK and we barely get any nice weather, I'm planning on wearing this shade to brighten up those dull, rainy days! ;)

You can purchase this and view the other polishes from Eye Candy at www.ohbeauty.co.uk
The price is £6 for 12ml (including free 1st class P&P with same working day dispatch if ordered before 2pm).

What do you think of this colour? & Have you tried any other Eye Candy polishes?

I was recently contacted by Born Pretty Store and asked if I would like to choose something to review on my blog. Now you all know by now just how much I love everything to do with nails and nail design. I was amazed by the amount of nail art, nail effects, nail varnish, nail tools, nail decorations etc they have to offer. Some of the items I'd never seen or heard of before, like this mirror/dazzle foil nail sticker.  

I chose colour #3 which is a pretty metallic light pink. At first I wasn't sure if I'd like the effect much, however I think it looks fabulous just used on one "accent" nail to compliment your other nail varnish. I paired it up with Essie's "We're In It Together" nail polish and they work so well together, don't you think??

The foil sticker came in a small plastic pot, which makes for easy storage, all you have to do is:
1. Unravel a piece of foil large enough to cover your nail and cut off. 
2. Apply a layer of nail polish(colour of your choice),wait for it to dry completely. 
3. Apply second coat, wait for it to become almost dry, so you can leave a gentle fingerprint.
4. Press the foil shiny side up, onto the nail and rub over using your finger or hoof stick. 
5. Remove the foil and the pattern will be on your nail. 
6. If a piece is not covered, apply coat of polish to that part and repeat from step 4.
7. Once you're happy, and nails are completely dry, apply top coat to protect the foil!

So simple, yet such a brilliant effect! And there are loads of colours to choose from so you can create so many designs, even mix up a few colours on each nail!

Each pot of foil costs only $2.99 (converts to around £1.96) & shipping is free worldwide!
