NOTD: Leighton Denny 'Rampant Rose'


'Rampant Rose' by Leighton Denny has been a very regularly worn nail polish of mine for a while now. I absolutely love the colour of it, it's just so pretty.

However, it is a strange nail polish for me though - I can never put my finger on what colour it is! I know that it's called 'Rampant Rose' but the colour constantly looks different depending on what lighting it's in. Sometimes it looks like a dark red, other times it looks like a dark pink-purple colour, or a deep pink/red. Sorry for rambling, but it seriously looks different whenever I look at it!

The nail polish doesn't chip easily which is good, and the consistency is really nice. It's a creme, but it isn't thick and the application of it is really smooth.

Overall, I am really loving this nail polish at the moment.

You can buy the nail polish at Leighton Denny for £11

Make-up Crush: Kim Kardashian

Hands down, my biggest make-up crush is Kim Kardashian. Her make-up and face is always flawless and just on point.

Now, Kim Kardashian's make-up is normally either really glowy and bronze or involving a bold lip - however three things that she (or her make-up artist/glam squad) always, always use are heavy contouring, a lot of under eye brightening and a large focus on the eyes. It just always looks so amazing!






   

Some products that you can use to recreate her looks:-

Current H&M Wishlist

H&M

So I was just sat around earlier, browsing the H&M website, and that somehow led to me making a polyvore set of three outfits that I really want, and I thought I might as well share the fruit of my boredom with you all with added links to everything mentioned in the post, in case your money begins to burn a hole in your pocket!


Outfit One - (Left)
I really liked the top/dress and took it from there with the outfit. I think that with the shoes the outfit would be perfect for going out or something a bit out of the ordinary. If you pair it with some white or grey converse though, you can wear the outfit casually as well. A nice red lipstick with it would bring the outfit to life, and take away from all the black.

'Thorn of a Rose' Dress - £14.99
Wet-look Leather Treggings - £24.99
Black Wedges - £19.99
MAC 'Ruby Woo' Lipstick - £14


Outfit Two - (Middle)
I loved this dress as soon as I saw it, and it just screamed Springtime to me (I wish the weather did that these days!). I know we're not having much of a Spring at the moment, but a girl can still dream! Wear this outfit with a nice pink lipstick just adds to the nice spring/summery feel out the outfit.

Safari Print Dress - £19.99
Beige Faux-leather Bag - £24.99
Dark Beige Ballet Pumps - £7.99
MAC Betty 'Girl Next Door' Lipstick - £15.50



Outfit Three - (Right)
This purple dress with a black peter-pan collar is so pretty and simple. Paired with a nice pair of polka dotted tights and black ballet pumps, the outfit is perfect for any occasion! A nice lipstick to go with the outfit would be Chanel's Rouge Coco in the iconic '#05 Madmoiselle' - one of my favourite lipsticks. 

Purple Peter-Pan Collared Dress -  £14.99
Spotted Tights - £6.99

Black Ballet Pumps - £7.99
Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick '#05 Madmoiselle' - £24



What do you think of the outfits? Would you change/add anything to them?

What's on your wishlist at the moment?

Thanks for reading!
