End of season bargains ( Accessorize, Hollister, Urban Outfitters,...)

Over the past month I went shopping a several times. Maybe a little bit too much, but anyway, most of the things I bought weren't very expensive.
I kind of felt I needed some british decoration for my home, whatsoever, so walked into a souvenir shop and bought a big Union Jack (£5), a red telephone box miniature (£3) and a Keep calm magnet (£2). I found the mini Union Jack at Paperchase and it was reduced to 25 p, so I decided to buy two.
I saw some cute little england themed items at primark (mirrors £1 each, Iphone case reduced to £1, make up bag £3) and picked up nail wraps from topshop (reduced to £1).
I went into Accessorize where I bought sterling silver earrings (£4.50), a cross beacelet (£1.20), a necklace (£4.20), a nail art set (£2.40), some phone accs (£1.35),...
...bunny pj's (£11), scallop purse (£5), lip bookmarks (£1.20) and a golden phone wallet (£4.20).
I bought some earrings for friends as a present (animals £1 each, black £2 each), some more cozy socks (£2), and a pj top (£3) I thought would work well with the panda pj bottoms.
I also bought a black jumper (£20) and a makeup palette (£4) from urban outfitters, a hand cream (£2.99) from Hollister and a Cardigan (£29.99) from the label lounge at New Look.
Now some more random things I bought:
Frilly socks Primark (£1.50)
Nspa bodyspray Asda (£3 each)
Nspa bodyoil Asda (£2.99)
BarryM gelly nails Boots (£3.99&£1.99 buy one get one 1/2 price)
Jelly Beans Topshop (50p each)
Pocket posh sudoku& brain games( £7.99 each).
I hope you're having a nice January 2014

Topshop glitter nailpolish review

I bought this glitter nail polish from topshop in their end of season sale for £2.
The texture of the nail polish is quite gooey and not as fluid as normal nail polishes. I applied a base coat, 2 layers of the glitter nail polish( even though one layer would have been enough) and a top coat.
The nail polish dried very quickly and it adds a little edge to an everyday outfit.
The only trouble I had with this nail polish was that it started chipping off and when I tried to remove it, it didn't come off. I spent nearly half an hour trying to remove my nail polish.

Time to dry: 5/5
Intensity of colour: 4/5
Durability: 2/5
Removing nail polish: 1/5

If you are in a hurry, need nail polish lasting less than a day and don't mind removing your nail polish for a long time this might be the perfect nail polish for you. Otherwise: try and not use this nail polish. It's really annoying to get rid of it and it just looks good for one day ( This doesn't apply to the other topshop nail polishes).
