BARRY M MATTE NAIL PAINT IN CRUSH.

 BARRY M MATTE NAIL PAINT IN CRUSH - £3.99.

It's coming to my favourite time of the year when you can wear your deepest/darkest shades (not that this doesn't apply to me all year around anyway). Although I have been wearing a lot of pastels this Summer... Essie - Bikini So Teeny being my favourite. There's one thing I wish I could do sometimes and that is to neatly paint my nails. I just haven't got the patience to sit still and always end up smudging them.

What I love about this nail polish is the matte finish. I didn't really think I would like it that much and thought it might look a little mucky/grubby on the nails. It turns out that it's my favourite finish and now I want to buy more and more. Isn't this shade (Crush) amazing though? I love me some Oxblood! The longevity of this nail polish is about 4/5 days which isn't too bad at all. Could this be my new 2014 holy grail nail polish? We'll have to see! What is your favourite brand when it comes to nail polish?

I'd also just like to say sorry for my lack of blogging this month. I've had a lot going off in my personal life, which meant me putting everything before my blog for a while. Things are slowly going back to normal so I'm trying to get a few posts scheduled now so this doesn't happen again, but just so you know I am alive haha and I hope you're all well!

Maybelline Color Show - Burgundy Kiss.

 

 (this picture was taken on the 5th day just to show you how good it still looked on the nails)

 

I'm loving my winter nails at the minute especially this 'Maybelline Color Show' nail polish in the shade Burgundy Kiss. It's like my favourite shade for winter time. I'm wanting some winter boots a similar shade to this. Has anyone seen any anywhere?

 

When I applied the first coat, I wasn't impressed what so ever. It looked really thin on the nail and it was quite hard to apply, I don't know if that was due to the brush being a bit floppy or the nail polish consistency. They didn't look the best after one coat, in fact they looked really tacky...

Then after applying the second coat they looked so much better and had a lovely shine to them. They did take a little longer than say a Rimmel nail polish to dry, but not that much longer.
I don't know about you but, I can never paint my nails without smudging! It really annoys me haha. When the nails are fully dry I just pop my hands into a bowl of warm water and the bits that have smudged onto your skin just peel off. It's so much easier than trying to remove with nail polish remover and a cotton bud. I always end up taking half my polish back off when I do that.

Now I'm not your typical girlie girl that goes and gets her nails done every month. If I do get them done it's for a special occasion (birthday, wedding etc.) So when I find a nail polish that doesn't chip after the first day, I'm amazed! The polish lasted on my nails for 5 full days without one single chip! Holy friggggggg. I've just reapplied the nail polish as I'm writing this to try it again. The polish is only £2.99 and you can purchase it from your local drugstore. I picked mine up in Boots when I went shopping last week.

Have you tried this nail polish before?

It's such a gorgeous shade <3

Rimmel London - Rapid Ruby

 

 

 

When the colder season's come in I like to wear a lot of darker shades on my nails such as deep reds, purples, browns, greens, midnight blues and black. It's just nice to tone it down after the Summer too.

The nail polish is by Rimmel and is one of their 60seconds polishes in the colour 320 'Rapid Red'. Personally I think they could of given it a better name, but hey ho! It's a deep shade of red kind of like a true blood red if you know what I mean? 

Quite lot of people say that it's an exact dupe of the colour by Chanel - 'Rouge Fatal', but I don't own this shade to give you my own opinion I'm afraid. If that's the case though it's a hell of a lot cheaper at just £3.69 a bottle for 8ml. Usually on 2 for £5.00 in Boots as well.

With an easy and quick application, how can you fault it?

 

Pro's

• Gorgeous shade
• Easy application
• Dries really quick
• Cheap as chips to buy

Con's

• I hadn't had this bottle that many months and it decided to go gloopy. I've never experienced this before with any of my Rimmel nail polishes. So I'm going to put it down to a dud bottle and see how I get on with my next one.
• It's not that long lasting, especially without base & top coat. (This could be due to me chipping them typing on the keyboard though).

 

But it's so cheap and such a gorgeous shade that I don't mind a tiny bit of disappointment.

There's some gorgeous Revlon and Essie colours in at the moment too. I think that's what I need to have a splurge on next time.

 

What's your favourite A/W nail polish?

What nail polish brand is your favourite?

If I were to answer that one it would have to be a toss up between China Glaze, Nails Inc. & Essie.

 Oh & I apologise for the fuzzy phone picture too.

nail me.

Evening bloggers!

how the hell are you?

well I've had a quiet weekend this weekend Zzz! I know -_-

I went to see the new film with Tom Cruise in it 'Oblivion' little did I know that it was a 'Sci-Fi' totally not my thing at all. Call me dumb but I still came out of the cinema clueless of the story line.

 

Anyway...

 I thought I'd write a little blog about my favourite nail polishes at the moment.

 

Number 1.

Has to be Barry M - Silvery Lilac 324

you can purchase these from your local beauty stores

superdrug/boots etc.

It's a kind of galaxy colour.

 

Number 2.

Chine Glaze - Frostbite

I got this one and the one below from my local hair salon Sallys.

A little bit more expensive than your usual polishes but they last a lot longer and don't chip as easy.

This is quite a bold colour, probably not everyone's taste.

 



 

Number 3.

China Glaze - Four Leaf Clover

Purchased from Sallys.

I must have wore this colour most out of all my polishes.

I love green!

Number 4.

Models Own - Juicy Jules

I purchased this polish from Boots.

This looks awesome on its own (takes quite a few layers) or over the top of other colours.

I must admit it is a nightmare to get off your nails! that's my only down point about it.

I was surprised that I liked it to be honest I'm not really a fan of glitter and girly girl things.

Number 5.

China Glaze - Peachy Keen

This was also purchased from Sally's as mentioned above ^

Perfect for Spring/Summer.

I've only just realised that 3 out of 5 of my fave's are China Glaze :o

I think it's due to the fact that they don't chip so easy or peel off & the bottles are bigger so they last even longer!

:)

This has to be my all time favourite nail tool!

I don't actually know what they're called I just referrer to them as my 'dotting tools'

I got them off eBay :)

Only cost me £1.99 too.

I adore polkadots and these tools make them so easy to do!
