Calvin Klein Perfume Set

I recently wanted to expand my perfume collection but I didn't where to start. My friend is a big fan of the Calvin Klein perfumes so I thought, why not?
This set contains 5 bottles that are between 4ml and 10ml.
I've already used the Obsession Night and Eternity but I just loved the bottles so much that I've decided to keep them. The bottles still smells really nice too.
Obsession Night
This scent is so nice. It smells quite mysterious, if that makes sense, with hints of orange to make it zesty but also vanilla to sweeten it up.
CK One
I associate this smell with sport and exercise (probably why it hasn't been used much -haha). For me, it isn't sweet enough as it is quite woody. Some people like that, but I don't. It also has notes of orange and lemon too to give it 'zest'.
Euphoria
Euphoria is definitely my favourite. It is a flirty scent that is filled with floral and fruity smells.
Eternity Moment
This one also smells nice has it is quite flirty too. However, I prefer Euphoria because this one only smells flowery and sometimes that can become overpowering and too much.
Eternity
Again, this is also a floral fragrance. It's quite similar to Euphoria although the smell of this one has been added to a woody note that has matted it down.

I hope my descriptions haven't been too baffling, what perfumes do you wear?

French Manicure

Today I thought I'd show you how to achieve a French Manicure the easy way without having to apply false nails. I got given a The Color Worshop French Manicure Set for my birthday a while a go but never got round to using it. I think that having a good French manicure is an all time classic that matches every outfit - perfect for on holiday!
The Color Workshop French Beige and French Pink 
 After you've applied the base colour (I chose French Beige) you need to apply the tip of the nail.
 This is done by using white nail varnish and also (optional) a white nail pencil. Instead of buying an actual French manicure sticker guide you could just use half a hole re-inforcer sticker, these can be found at WHSmith.
 Finally, finish the look off by applying a top coat. This keeps the nail varnish in place so that it doesn't chip as easily and therefore lasts longer.
 What's your favourite look on your nails? Are you a fan of the French manicure?
