London Photo Diary

As I mentioned on Sunday in the Week in Pictures post, there was going to be an actual,proper post about my last London trip. And what better way to do that than in pictures! I could also use a thousand words to describe each picture, because I'd have the inspiration to do so, but I think this paints a much clearer,faster and literally more colorful image.

1. You have to start at Baker St. 2. The slight fish&chips fail 3. My favorite photo of the trip

4. The Globe: destination of our 3hr walk 5. Mother of all bagels 6. Sunset from my window

7. What a glorious sight 8. Hey box,aren't you a Tardis? 9. Joanna Streetview

                        

1. Few things beat St.Paul's in grandeur 2. Becoming very british very fast 3. My favorite place on the South Bank

4. Nightwalks 5. My little SouthBench 6. Ben being Ben

7. Was preparing for greatness,wasn't that great 8. Transylvanian Vampires in the middle of Hampstead 9. The begin of a beautiful sushi friendship

1. I take sushi friendships very serious 2. Soho: bucket of inspiration 3. And Pimm's

4. My most used: feet and the south bank bench 5. And then came chocolate 6.And some more

7. And let's not forget a bit more chocolate 8. The last snack on the tube 9. Attempting artistry at night

Summer Color Alert - Barry M Greenberry

Oh how I've waited to get my hands on this polish! Ever since I first saw the the Gelly collection I knew I had to have this one. And right I was! The second I put it on I couldn't stop staring. Even with my unflatteringly short, nay, very short nails, it looks good. A task many a polish has failed before.Let me show you what it looks like first.

This is, of course, one of those shades that will never photograph in its true color. I can tell you it's slightly greener and a lot brighter. Basically, it's an absolute summer must have color.

Two coats have been used this time, like with most of the other polishes from the Barry M Gelly collection. I got 4 in total and will be showing you the swatches later this week.
Can't really say if it has more or vastly more shine than other polishes. I can say that it is shiny in a very lovely manner and that it lasts incredibly well. Prickly Pear for example, a pale lilac from the same collection, has endured 5 days on my nails, including a plane trip, which is where most polishes fail. It's also a reason I hate painting my nails before a flight, because I know that by the time I land, much of the polish will have flown away also.This had stayed on with no top coat and on longer nails.So that in itself is very impressive.

What can I say, I'm immensely happy I've got my hands on this glorious thing. Do you like it as much as I do?

Week In Pictures # 21

Hello Hello and welcome back to your regular Week in Pictures schedule! This week was half London and half home, so it will have some London pictures in it, but stay tuned because next week the London Photo Diary will be up in its entirety. It was really really lovely to meet up with Grace and Kat who almost gave me a chocolate happy stroke in Liberty.

A respectable Monday begins with Pimm's O'Clock / And continues with rose lemonade.Delicious.

One cannot ignore Ben / The coconuts that almost killed my friend

Liberty London: What a department store should look like / And then the chocolate began...

My OCD was very content with this display / Shakespeare...and his floating head

The INCREDIBLE creations I got to wear yesterday / With the less than comfy shoes and the overdose of energy drinks

Those shoes! So much detail / Happy conclusion of a summer night

Hope you had a great week and a better one to follow! And stay tuned for the humongousness of London pics I'll have up next week
