Marks & Spencer do holographic nail polish

Whilst out and about shopping in town I popped into my local Marks & Spencer and browsed their new make up and nail polishes. I had read on a couple of people's blogs that M & S do a holographic nail polish, and to my delight I found it!




Now at this point I don't know how well this applies, or wears as I haven't had a chance to put it on yet, so I will do another post on this soon. It cost £7.50 it is just called 'Rainbow' and as you can see from the bottle the holographic effect is quite intense, I hope this translates to the nail.

I also bought a hand soap for the bathroom and another nail polish from the older nail polish line. The soap cost £1 which is a bargain and I got the scent watermint, light and fresh which I like. The other polish is called bright aqua and is a green base with a light blue sheen and silver flecks. This one cost £3.





I wanted to take a quick picture of one of the make up shelves, but I was getting strange looks from the shop assistant, so it is a bit wonky.


I was impressed with the range at M & S, lots of fab colours and at a reasonable price. Have you tried any of the nail polish or make up range from there?

Frosted cranberry for the bathroom

At work we have a touch sensor foam soap dispenser which is a huge improvement on the old gel soap we used to have. However, a few ladies in the office find that the foam soap is quite drying. One our our sub editors seems to get hand wash and hand lotion for Christmas and birthdays each year, so much so that she brings some in for the rest of the girls in the office. This time she brought in frosted cranberry hand soap and lotion set from Marks and Spencer.


I love this set! The soap lathers very well with very little product, it produces a bright red bubbly lather. The scent is a very strong sweet fruity smell but cranberry doesn't spring to my mind immediately. The hand lotion is lovely and creamy but light and non greasy which I prefer. In the evening I cover my hands in The Body Shop hemp intensive hand lotion, but for the day time I hate heavy lotion, but this frosted cranberry one is very light and soaks in right away. The scent lasts a long time too which I like.




I would definitely buy this for home, I don't think my boyfriend would like it because it is is a sweet smelling soap (we usually use Carex which I find is quite a fresh smell). Incase anyone is wondering I am wearing Models Own nail polish in Lilac Dream :-)

What hand soaps do you love?
