OOTD

Last night me, the boy and his family went out for a meal to the lovely Birchwood Farm in Castleford (behind xcape).

I was exhausted after a busy day and work and literally had 5 minutes to get ready.

I decided to put on my New Look Inspire Bird print dress. I know this dress has done the rounds within the plus size circle, but look at it! Its beautiful!

I actually got mine from eBay for the bargain price of £10 inc postage.


I wore it with my Next Leggings and flats from George at Asda. I also had my denim jacket with me but didn't wear it as it was too warm.

I also got a new nail polish this week! Its from my beloved Barry M and is like a peppermint green!


Just before I go I have to show you some of the desserts that are available at Birchwood Farm.

GIANT CHEESECAKE!




It was so big I took half of it home!

Max Factor Max Effect Mini Nail Polish


I love Nail Polish! I have the whole Barry M collection. But whilst on an early morning brows around Boots I came across the cutest nail polish I have ever seen and had to buy it! (I am on a shopping ban, but had points on my advantage card so it doesn't count, Right?)


Max Factor's Max Effect Mini Nail Polish. Its sooo cute in its mini bottle and with its mini brush! The price isn't quite as cute though. The mini's retail in Boots for £3.99. Yes, that's right £3.99!!! (You can can a full size of most nail polish for that amount!).

Compared to a full size Nails Inc polish its tiny!

The range of colours that Max Factor do is amazing! They are very bright and vibrant and very on tread for autumn. But that's really where the 'pros' of this polish ends.





I had to use three coats to get an thick, even coverage. And although the polish dried very quickly I found it very watery and runny. I also found that it is not very durable. I painted my nails when I got to work at around 8.30AM and by 14.30 (now) it has started to wear on the tips of my nails.

I think I'll stick to my Barry M's for a little while longer!
