I am going to be doing a more of a personal post today, I really love to read blog posts like this so I decided to do one of my own today. The A-Z of Me is where bloggers write something about them for every letter of the alphabet. I thought this looked like a really good idea so that's what I'm doing today.

I always have my nails painted when I'm on holiday and in the school holidays because your not allowed to wear nail polish at school. So today I thought I would show you a few of the nail polishes that you could paint your nails with.

Barry M is a really good nail polish brand, I like all of there colours and they seem to last well on my nails. I have three different ones I am going to show you today. The first two being from the 'quick drying' range. These actually do dry really fast which is good because I always manage to smudge mine. Anyway my first colour is called Freestyle which is a light pink colour. This looked really pretty on the Barry M counter so I thought I would pick this one up. Next is a light purple lilac colour called Lap Of Honour, I have had this one for a while now but I love it. Lastly from Barry M I have one of there 'molten metal' nail polishes, this one is in the colour Ice Pink. This is a gorgeous pink copper which would look lovely paired with Freestyle.

Next is this bright coral colour, this looks so pretty on your toes, I love it! It is the Rimmel Rita Ora Nail Polish in Oringina. This is so pretty and I have been wearing it on my toes quite a bit. These next two are from a brand called Cairuo and I have two nail polishes that are perfect for Summer. The first one is a really nice orange colour in the shade Orange 24. This looks really pretty on your toes but also on your hands. Also from Cairuo is a bright pink colour this is called Rose 30. It is very bright but also very pretty. The last nail polish is from a brand called Cherry Tree and this one is a light lime green colour. This is different to all the other colours but I think it would look incredible with a tan.

So that is my 'Summer Nails', I think all of these colours are so pretty and I will try and wear them all, even though they will probably come off in the sea and pool.
 

As it is the Summer holidays most people are going on holiday, so I thought I would show you everything I will be taking in my makeup bag when I go on holiday. It was quite hard to choose what I want to take because I don't want to get there and wish I had bought something, however I am happy with everything I have chose.
The Face:
For my base I am taking the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, I am taking this in the shades 1 and 2 so that I have one to match me once I'm tanned. This is a really good coverage concealer and I do like however it isn't my favourite as it can be quite cakey and hard to blend. To set my concealer in place I am using Rimmel Stay Matte, this is my favourite powder, I love it!

I then have the Seventeen Define & Conquer Contour Kit for contour/bronzer. I really like this contour kit because I really like the colour for my skin tone and it's got good pigmentation. For highlighter I am taking my Lottie London Shimmer Squad which is so beautiful, I have a review up here.
The Eyes:
On my eyes I am taking the Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette, this is my favourite palette at the moment and I decided to take this as there is a variety of eye shadow looks you can create with this. I am also loving the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara still so I am going to take this with me also.
The Lips:
I am going to take 3 lip products on holiday. First I am taking my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London which is a beautiful light brown nude which I love. Next is the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 03 which is a peachy nude colour. This is a really pretty colour and I love how it feels on my lips. And lastly I am taking my favourite Mac Velvet Teddy lipstick, this is my favourite lipstick as the colour is my perfect lip colour.

Brushes:
I am going to take my brushes that I got for Christmas, these are so soft and I really like using them. Also I am taking my eyelash curlers which I use every day.

That is everything I am taking in my makeup bag when I go on holiday. I love all of these things and let me know what you are taking if you are going on holiday and if you aren't have a great Summer holiday anyway. And if you are going on holiday where are you going?
