I love a good nude polish on my fingernails. It's simple, elegant and a colour that compliments every single outfit. And every single skin tone.

When it comes to the festive period, people generally shift towards darker colours. Choosing dark reds, purples, greens to keep in line with the festive colour palette. However, that doesn’t mean we have to leave the nudes outside. 

The great thing about nude colours is that there are so many. The colours that come under the 'nudes' palette is browns, beiges, pastel pinks, whites, and light greys. 

I’ve chosen my top 5 nail polishes that are perfect for the festive period:

1. Essie, Matter of FictionThis pink has a slight sparkle to it, making it the perfect festive pink.

2. Barry M, Cashmere- Usually with such light pinks, they get darker after the second coat. However, this one keeps it's lightness, maintaining the barely there look.
3. Nails Inc, Cornwall Gardens- Grey used to be the colour that was avoided. Now it's not and instead, is a perfect colour to wear. Grey nail polishes nowadays contain warmer tones, meaning it is much more complimentary.

4. Barry M, Almond- It's slightly darker than the Nails Inc one but looks just as great in the cold outdoors.

5. Models Own, HyperGel Naked Glow- This shade is more of a beige colour and it's a gorgeous nude. Perfect for this time of year.

Ted Baker is a brand I adore. Their designs are a mixture of class, femininity, and elegance all wrapped in beautiful pieces of clothing and accessories. I never thought I would be fortunate to be able to afford a Ted Baker item, especially not before 25. But life is good, and with an outlet just around the corner and added student discount, I decided to treat myself to a little something. Because we all deserve to treat ourselves every now and then, right?

Stuck between two beautiful purses, I finally came to a decision, choosing a purse that I felt was the epitome of Ted Baker. It is a classic Ted Baker design, simplicity at its best. And also, one that represented me and my style. I think elegance goes a long way in the world; its classic beauty.


The purse is a soft and subtle nude pink, detailed with a rose gold/ copper bow on the front and a pocket on the back. The inside is a gorgeous rich plum color with plenty of space for all my new cards. Oh and the lining, (if you didn’t know about Ted Baker lining then you need to), matches the nude pink with printed classic Ted Baker bows all over. I love the simplicity and this purse is beautiful.
