Act like a Woman, Think like a Man.. FASHION!

Hey dolls! Is it me or is this week REALLY dragging. Bring on the weekend! I just need to catch up on sleep and gym sessions!

So.. I was watching the Jennifer Hudson/Ne-Yo/Rozay video for "Act like a woman.." I fell IN LOVE with Jennifer's stylist & make-up artist. The outfit is something I would love to wear as well as her hair & make up.. just so spot on!

I couldn't find a better up close pic than this one above. She wears a gorgeous pair of black boot type heels to accompany this outfit. Gorgeous!

Kim Kardashian wore a very similar style last year, I blogged about it as soon as I saw it lol
I love this look!
I'm a big fan of curling my hair & smokey eyes when I dress up for a night out etc So these looks really appeal to me. P.S. Jennifer Hudson looks so damn beautiful! Good on her!


Lotsa love Leesh of UnLeeshd x x x

NOTD.. Avalanche!

I really dislike this part of the day, knowing you have to set your alarm and wake up to that dreaded Monday morning feeling!
Hoping the weather is nice tomorrow, that usually motivates me to get up for work lol.
Anyway, I fancied painting my nails this evening so I decided to go for this polish I bought off Kaushal of www.Beautyfulfilled.com.

I love China Glaze polishes! This one is called Avalanche.


This polish is gorgeous, it's a lush dark purple, with a beautiful metallic finish. I used 2 coats, but a 3rd would be even better I think.

No Flash.

With Flash.
My favourite colour is purple so I'm a big fan of this polish.
What China Glaze shades have you guys tried? Any good?
Hope you guys have a lush week ahead, hope it goes extra quick :)

Happy Birthday, Kourtney!

Some of you Kardashian fanatics might already know that it was Kourtney Kardashian's Birthday yesterday..

Thought as a big fan of hers I'd dedicate this post to her!

I've always mentioned how Kourtney is my STYLE ICON! I love the majority of outfits she chooses to wear, her make up style to her hair!
My taste is very similar to hers which is probably why she's my favourite, she is the cutest mum & I can't wait for little baby girl Dash Disick to enter the world (I'm so soppy when it comes to babies, probably because I look after them all day, everyday..SHO CUTE!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOURT!!
Lotsa love Leesh of UnLeeshd x x x

NOTD.. Because I'm worth it?

Evening :)
My nails are so badly painted.. I painted them after work yesterday & as I waiting for one hand to dry, I was falling asleep so they look AWFUL haha..
I love this shade!

This is shade 607 by L'oreal. I paid £4.99 for this from Boots. I really think its worth every penny! :)
It's so easy to apply.. 2 coats is all you need.


It's nearly the weekend people! hehe hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow.
I will post again at some point this weekend :)

GUEST POST. Paint Up and Polish for Life.. By Jackie Clark

Hi dolls, when Jackie contacted me about the subject matter of the post she wanted to post on UnLeeshd.. I said YES straight away. I love the thought of 'picking yourself up when you're down'

If you like this post you can contact Jackie on Twitter: @JakieClrk. Jackie works for the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance. Thank you for contacting me Jackie. I love the messages behind your writing.



Paint Up and Polish for Life.

Are you a woman struggling with a cancer diagnosis who feels like she can use a new paint of coat on life? Why not try nail polish and enjoy having some cute cuticles.


A simple act like painting her nails can refocus a woman on her femininity and innate beauty.

Yet maintaining ties with current trends in fashion and beauty can serve as a wonderful way for a woman not to lose herself as she faces the biggest battle of her life.
If the idea of a full makeover is overwhelming, there are small and simple ways for a woman to maintain a sense of style.
The reason why a manicure is such a wonderful idea is because it an easy and time efficient way to pay a little attention to your own needs. A manicure may be the absolute last thing a woman has on her mind while battling cancer, yet it may be just the thing she needs to renew her sense.

All it takes is a simple drug store bottle of nail polish and her husband, friend, or children to elegantly apply the nail polish as she sits back relaxes. The soothing human touch paired with adding bright, beautiful colors can be a truly transforming and healing experience.
After endless appointments with doctors and treatments following the cancer prognosis, hands that provide a beautiful touch can be a refreshing change.

No matter how much she faces, painted nails tell the world that she has not lost count of her value as a woman.
Being pampered is a great way for a woman to ease back and allow herself to be treated as a princess, even as she struggles with one of the many cancers woman are faced with including mesothelioma from asbestos exposure.
If a trip to the salon for a manicure simply isn’t in the budget, then a woman can still enjoy the same blissful pampering at home.
When facing a daunting diagnosis and the subsequent treatment options, it is easy for a woman to feel overwhelmed.
As inconsequential as it may seem, a manicure can really brighten up your perspective. Let’s face it, there is nothing fun about cancer. Yet, in the midst of your darkest emotions, brightness can be found in the form of gorgeous, silky nails.


One of the first things a woman allows to fall to the wayside is her personal upkeep and beauty.
