Manicure Monday - Posh

Boots having 3 for 2 on nail polishes is deadly to me. I was desperate to get my hands on some of the Revlon Parfumarie Polishes and picked only four polishes, this meant I needed two more, you know to get the best deal. So I picked up Revlon Treat and Boost and this Revlon polish in Posh.

This green is lovely, light and creamy, not too dark as many of my green polishes are. The brush and consistency make this polish easy enough to apply and it looks great. I have Seche Vite over mine so they look super shiny and have great staying power. This means I can't comment on how long this polish lasts.

What you think? Is this a green you can wear?

Cupcake in a Jar - The Cupcake Parlour, Redcar

Cupcake in a jar. We all dream of them. Some of us even get round to making them in their own home but not me. I'd never had one but always wanted one. One day Mum came across The Cupcake Parlour on Facebook, a local cake making business based in Redcar that produces so many gorgeous homemade goodies! Mum got me a large chocolate caramel cake jar which cost £8.50.

The presentation is gorgeous, layered with lots of chocolate, caramel and chocolate buttercream icing. On the top was a load of caramel sprinkled with little chocolate balls. The contents of this jar were gorgeous, the cake, caramel and buttercream icing were all amazing. I did find however that I could have done with more cake as there was a lot of icing which made it a bit sickly. I ate this over a few sittings and it has lasted so well not drying out but staying lovely and moist.

If anyone lives in Teesside I'd definitely recommend trying one of these jars, or any other cakes that The Cupcake Parlour do as I am sure they'd be just as tasty! From what I can see they just do orders on their facebook page so have a snoop at all the pictures of the gorgeous looking cakes!

Manicure Monday - Tara's Talons!

I was so pleased that Tara from The Tara's Emporium could attend my #BakerStMeet in Middlesbrough last month as I adore indie nail polish and the fact that she is UK based makes it all the better! When she came down she brought us all one of her gorgeous polishes but as some people didn't turn up we got more than one!

After my week of nail polish, the first polish I turned to was one of Tara's polishes. This one was my first pick and it is called Embankment. It is a gorgeous shimmery green filled with differently shaped glitter!

Tara's business recently turned one, so to celebrate she has brought out a birthday collection of nail polishes! As well as this Tara has recently expanded her business to include much more than nail polish. If you haven't already had a nosy at her shop then you must.
