Essie Nail Creations by daniellekimsullivan featuring essie nail polish

Essie has taken over O.P.I as my favourite nail polish brand, the brush is perfect, the colour goes on opaque in two coats, it lasts for ages! Need I say more... 

I think they are also on three for two at Superdrug at the moment. I have a little Essie collection going on, my favourites being Tea and Crumpets a gorgeous peachy shade with a hint of golden shimmer, Licorice a true black that looks amazing on short nails, and Decadent Dish a rich red burgundy shade with red shimmer running through it. Here is a few Nail of the days that I have captured on Instagram. Don't forget to follow for more.... http://instagram.com/daniellesully

Lust List Beauty Edition

Lust List Beauty Edition by daniellekimsullivan 

This weeks Lust List has a Beauty theme, these are a few products that I feel I need at the moment. 

1. Up first is a product I actually already have, it is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I have this in shade 4 which is a little too pale for me at the moment as it is Summer so I am hoping to get a more suitable shade. This foundation is perfect for a night out on the town as it doesn't contain any SPF which causes that flashback white face. The creates such a flawless finish on the skin that isn't too matte and looks very natural. It's quite pricey at £34 but I would say the price is really reflected in the quality of the product.

2. Next is this perfect pink number from Nars. It is a Matte lip pencil in the colour Roman Holiday. I have been looking for a nice wearable pink shade that isn't too sheer, and according to Nars these lip crayons are very creamy, long lasting and are very vivid in colour. £17.50.

3. Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray has forever been on my wish list I should just buy it already!! Messy, lived in, undone, beach waves is the easiest look to wear, so salt spray is a constant in my hair routine. I have heard so many amazing reviews about this one! £21.50.

4. Essie's Mint Candy Apple is a firm favourite of many bloggers but I just haven't got round to purchasing it. However now I have used up all my other minty hues I've come to the decision I too must have this. £7.99.

5. I'm not very experimental when it comes to concealer, Collection 2000 and I have been going steady for quite some time now but I can't help wanting to cheat with this creamy concealer offering from Bobbi Brown. £18.50.

Summer Style

Jean shorts / Topshop / Topshop / Zara stone jewellery / Zara chain necklace / Forever 21 woven headband

As the weather has been pretty good for a British Summer (apart from a storm or two) recently I have felt the need to dig out my Vintage Levi cut offs and purchase a few cooler ensembles. I have been loving the cami with little shorts or skirts for casual or jeans and heels in the evenings. These Topshop cami's retail at £18 each, the fit is loose and flowing and the fabric drapes really nicely.   

I have also been trying to inject a little more colour into my outfits to give a more summery feel, Zara and Forever 21 are great for accessories this season like this lovely blue rosebud headband. 

What's your summer style inspiration?
