Nubar - Midnight Glory

Hello Everyone

Happy Easter! Hope your all enjoying the holidays :-) Back to Nails today. Here is a Nubar polish I've had in my untrieds for a while - Midnight Glory.

Flash

Natural Light 

This is 4 coats of Midnight Glory, a light sky blue with a pink to gold (with a slight hint of green) duochrome effect. Has a very ethereal feel to it. The name doesn't match at all, nothing 'Midnight' about it? Still a extremely pretty polish. Applied well and the layers built up nicely although 4 coats and still a slight visible nail line. Love Nubar duochromes, they are the best.

Have a great weekend

Fashionista - Custom Eyeshadow Palette

Evening Everyone

Thought I would show you a fab eyeshadow palette I recently purchased. Luckily a Fashionista stand has appeared at my local Superdrugs, much to my delight. I bought one of their Custom Design Palettes as Superdrugs was running a 'buy 3 get one free' deal. Here are the four shades I picked.

Double Take: Golden Dragon

Double Take: Bella

Auburn Glow

Sultry

I'm not really a eye shadow connoisseur but I thought these applied quite well, very soft  in texture and quite pigmented. The Fashionista stand had a good selection of colours too. It was so hard to choose! The individual eye shadow's cost £4.00 each.  With the Custom Palette deal I got all four colours plus the mirrored palette free at £12.  You can also mix and match with their blushers too.

Has anyone else tried the Fashionista range? What's your verdict?

Color Club Bluetopia + NYX Wild

Hello Everyone

I'm currently completing my university papers for my final submission. It's killing me, why I ever chose to do a degree is beyond me?? So if I go missing in action and I haven't posted in a while you know why, I'm slogging my guts getting my essays done. Anyhoo I thought I would share with you a recent layering combo I've been sporting. I think I've said it before but procrastination is a wonderful thing.

First up two coats of Color Club's Bluetopia. A rich black inky blue, be warned though you need a base coat with this one.

Then one coat of NYX Wild, here it is on its own. A sheer blue with green shimmer.

Together = A pretty combination.

I liked this mani a lot. If you was using NYX Wild on its own, you would a 3-4 coats for a full opaque look. Layering it over a darker color I think is much more effective. Any dark colour would do. Plus Wild is very cheap, about £1.99. I got mine from Fragrance Direct online here.

Anyone know of other pretty combos I could try?

Enjoy

Glitter Gal - Copper 3D Holographic

Hello Everyone

First post of official 'Spring' and it's so warm here in London. Loving it. Today I have for you another Glitter Gal holographic polish, this time Copper.

This is 3 coats. Not as opaque as some of the other holos in the collection, still rather pretty don't you think? Copper 3D holographic is a light rose copper holo. More of a rose then copper. The holographic effect it quite strong, stronger then my camera would pick up.

Hope your all enjoying the sunshine where you are!

LA Girl Metal - Metallic Olive

Hello Everyone,

Hope your all good. Today I have one of the LA Girl Metal collection colours to show you - Metallic Olive. Got this a while back from Beauty Base in Westfields Stratford. I picked up this and one other which for the life of me I can't remember the name of??

Flash

Natural Light

Excuse the purple stained cuticles. This is 3 coats of Metallic Olive, a forest green metallic polish. Very similar in finish to LA Colors - Catus. The metallic finish is actually made up of tiny shimmer particles, giving a flecked textured look. Formula gave me no issues and was a total bargain at £1.99.

What do you think?
