Favorite 2012 Products

Welcome to my best 2012 products! I didn't really know what to pick but I managed to come up with a few! These are just based on things I've mentioned the most in 2012 and things I reach for everyday. These are actually all bargain type things and nothing is overly expensive. They're all things I would repurchase again and things that I think are quality, good value items.

Makeup 

These items are things I definately use everyday. All of these items have lasted me a long while and most are no where near empty!

Max Factor Facefinity Foundation
This is only a sample and although the shade is quite a bit lighter than me, I enjoy using it. I always use a bit of bronzer anyway so the foundation doesn't change anything. I really like the coverage and you don't need a lot. I like how the sample has lasted me 4 uses and I still have the chance to use it one more time! It's quite a thick foundation but I really like how it applies. I definately have enjoyed using this for the last months of 2012 and I will purchase the full size.

MAC Nicki Minaj Viva Glam
This was my first MAC lipstick. I really wanted a bright pink lipstick and at the time, this was perfect .. it still is! I obviously don't use this every single day because I like using it for when I actually go out. For £14 I can see this lasting a long time so it's definitely worth it. I've really enjoyed using this in 2012 and in 2013 I really hope to expand my MAC collection.

Natural Collection Natural Loose Powder

I use this everyday. I use this to really top off my foundation to give me a non cakey look. It's lasted me a long time and I still have quite a bit left! The best part is - £2! For a long time, I needed something that stopped me being so shiny and greasy and oily. It drove me insane! This is the perfect everyday product.

MUA Lipstick
This color is RED! It's really smooth and moisturizing but very bold at the same time! I love how I can create a lipline with this too.

Maybelline Color 24 Hour Tattoo Eyeshadow

I love this as a base, or even as a simple day look on its own. Its really creamy but pats onto the eye perfect. I can create the perfect day or night smoky eye with this and I really want to collect all the shades!

Chit Chat Bronzer
Yes, this is a Poundland goodie.. I know a LOT of Bloggers who rave about Chit Chat bargains! I absolutely love their stuff and I'm not afraid to admit it! I think this gives a perfect glow without being overly noticeable. Its not shimmery and it gives the right amount. I have two of these and I use them everyday!

Boots Essentials After Sun
Random! I use this as a makeup primer. I picked this up in Green Park, London when I was burnt on my back in the summer *memories*. Its so cooling and I had a lot leftover so I thought to use it as a moisturizer under makeup. It gives the perfect satin finish base and I use this all the time under foundation/loose powder. £1.

Maybelline Colossal Cats Eye Mascara

Everyday mascara. I love love love the wand and it's not clumpy. My lashes get separated with the equal amount of product. It's lasted me since Christmas 2011 which is great. I love Maybelline mascaras, I think they're the best in the shops. 

Maybelline Studio Drama Gel Eyeliner

This eyeliner was purchased in February, 2012. This was the first gel eyeliner I tried. I got really drawn in when the advert came on and I knew I had to try it! At first, I thought £7 was a bit ridiculous but looking back it was a decent purchase. It's lasted me ages and defines the eyes perfectly. I also use this everyday too!

Chit Chat Juicy Lipstick

Chubby stick dupe! For £1 instead of £16 I think this is a brilliant bargain. The color is so so so deep *look in my Blog profile picture* and really makes my lips bold. I love how it applies, smooth and creamy. This is the first one I bought and for Christmas I got the whole 6 collection! I seriously love them and they give me the amazing amount of color with a moisturizing bonus!

MUA Black Liquid Eyeliner
This is my everyday eyeliner. I seriously love the fine tip and how it creates a perfect cat eye. Because of the wand, it's perfect to get to the lashline and doesnt smudge.

MUA Lipstick
This color is RED! It's really smooth and moisturizing but very bold at the same time! I love how I can create a lipline with this too.

Nail PolishesThese shades are ones that I think were worth purchasing and ones that I haven't nessacarily worn 24/7 but ones that I love in my collection.

NYC High-Line Green
I can't explain how much I love this! It applies well and takes ages to chip. I've only worn it a few times but it will be a NOTW soon!

NYC Oh-Soho-Sweet
After ages of looking for the perfect nude shade, I finally found it! It's very light and basically unseen but it's great for school or for college if you need a nail polish but one that's not neon ha ha!

NYC Lights Camera Glitter

I love NYC. I really want to collect more nail polishes and I really hope to! This is the perfect glitter that I was looking for, for ages too because of the big particles. It doesn't go gloopy either so it stays smooth for days!

LA Color Fuji Purple
I love this and as you all know, I love LA colors nail polish. Every trip to London I pick up a few and this one was one of the nicest! I love all the LA color, colors but this one is such a classic hot pink. I don't really like hot pinks but this one is an acception!

KIKO 
I'm unsure of this shade but I bought it from Westfields. I was looking for a navy blue for ages and this is such a thick, matte, navy blue. It doesn't chip for ages and I want to check out more of the KIKO shades. 

Other

Lovely Mint Story - Treaclemoon

I always see the Treaclemoon products in Tesco and I'm really into these types of bubble bath/ shower gels. They're a lot like I Love.. products and I think they're great on the purse. I love this mint one as it's really fresh and always reminds me of Winter! It's lasted me a long time, probably because I have so much to use up!

Primark Spring Blossom Candle

This candle got me really into candles! I love this smell, its very overpowering when you smell it but when lit, it's subtle. I love jar candles and at a small price, this is great for an everyday candle because you can light it everyday without repurchasing at a high price. I only paid £1 so I will repurchase!

I hope you enjoyed this post and sorry if I've been a little repetitive..

Christmas Week | NOTW!

Hello everyone!
So today might be the day you all do Christmassy designs on your nails - its Christmas Eve! I promised to show you my nails and show you what designs I managed to do from my recent post. I only picked the easiest and best designs from my nail wheel, some I wasn't quite impressed with, so the ones I was impressed with I attempted them on my nails! Sometimes I think that designing on nail wheels is much easier than actually doing them yourself. 

So yeah, that's my NOTW post.. I know it's only small but I'm not quite sure what to put as I explained the nail designs in my post the other day, which you can read - here - if you wish.

Christmas Week | Nail Designs

Hey everyone! Recently, I feel like I've been a bit sparse with my posts.. I haven't given up with Blogging at all! I've been blogging, but I've just been scheduling posts ready for the right times when they need to be up. I've also been doing a lot on Youtube (Christmas week) with uploads everyday, so I haven't had anything to blog on here, because they're mainly tutorials! I have loads of things to show you in the upcoming weeks too, including a Christmas & Birthday haul which I'm really excited about. I've also been doing Blogmas on here since December 1 so I didn't want to overdo the posts!

So instead of rambling, I have a post for you today! I hope you all like it and find it quite helpful! I put together a few nail designs and some that are really easy to do. I'm not very arty so I sometimes find it hard to do good nail designs, purely because I can't draw in real life! But using nail art pens it makes it a lot more easier, I really like using nail wheels to do lots of designs, it gives me more ideas on what to do for my own too! I'm also thinking about doing Nail Tutorials on Youtube once I get my tripod, then I can film one, because at the moment I have no idea on how I'd film it?! I hope you lot would want me to start doing them, if so I will!

I don't really know how to explain the designs and things so I'll just make a small list of what designs are what L-R and what nail paints I used!

Candy Cane 
For this one I just used LA colors white nail polish (Energy Source) which is such a good white color, sounds stupid but most white nail paints I've tried are very gloopy and don't dry for agessss! I really liked this as a base then I used nail art pens in red & green to draw lines, luckily they were straight! You could add glitter on the top if you wanted, I left mine plain!

Christmas Pudding

I wasn't sure whether to do this or not, I saw this image on Google and it looked quite complicated, but it was really easy! I painted the nail with Vivid Purple by Barry M, which I'm not overly keen on , but it's a nice winter shade. I then let that dry and with the nail art pen i draw a squiggly line from one corner, to the other. I then filled it in, let it dry and drew holly on the top! I also thought that drawing the Holly would be difficult but it wasnt.

Christmas Jumper

The Christmas Jumper is quite controversial! It is classed as 'tacky' by some people, but I think this year many people have one or two added to their wardrobe! Personally I think they're quite cute and add a cute touch to Christmas. I never got to buy one this year and last year I had some Christmas Leggings, which reminds me - I haven't worn them this year! *they might not fit.. oops!*. I think this was an easy design to do and I really like it, tonight I need to paint mine for Christmas and I think this is the design I will do. I painted the nail with Rimmel 60 second nail polish in Passion and let that dry. It's such a thick, matte, glossy red - I really like it but its nearly empty, so it's quite gloopy! I then let that dry and with white nail art pen I added designs on the top in triangle, lines and dots. I think this is one of the best designs I done, considering I'm not arty and neat, ha!

Christmas Lights

Christmas lights ARE a Christmas Essential! I think EVERY household needs them so why not have them on your nails too?! These were really easy, I painted my nails in Energy source and then added a black squiggly line on the top and did small shapes in color for the lights!

Santa Hat

I love this one! I didnt paint the nail for this one, I just used a red nail art pen and did a triangle shape, then I put a bobble on the top in white!

A Bow

This one is ok-ish, it's not the best but I suppose you lot could try it better! I painted my nail silver using an MUA shade, I don't know what it though.. then I used a tutorial online to do the bow, I'm sure you can find one online.. I'm not really great at explaining things and I cannot explain for the life of me how to do it!

A Snowman

I love this snowman/snowscene nail! I painted the whole nail with Kiko navy blue color, then i drew on a snowman figure with white nail art pens, then I decorated the blue paint with snow!

Presents

This is quite a bad one! Its really simple, draw square boxes in color and add white lines! I just don't think its as good as the others.

Snowflakes

These went a bit wrong, I can't draw snowflakes, but I tried!

Christmas tree

I like this one! I like it because it turned out right and I think its a simple nail but would really work well on the accent nail. It was simple to do and you lot should all get it really easy if you can draw Christmas trees!

Snow & A Ribbon

This is really cute, I think the big glitter particles are quite 'snow' like and decorative with the bow. Not my best design but it's quite pretty!

Holly

Simple! I'm sure holly is simple to do so I don't need to explain this one! 

Big snowflake

Failed snowflake.

Candy Cane

I love this one, I'm definitely going to use this tonight, when I do mine! I painted my nails with High-Line-Green by NYC which is a big fave of mine. I then did a white nail art oen in a candy cane shape and topped with red lines! Just make sure everything dries before you do the next step, or things may smudge!

Santa's belt

Santa is the main part of Christmas;-) so by adding a Santa belt to your nails adds a great part to Christmas! Paint your nails red, then do a bubble type shape for the belt and add a black rectangle on after, when dry.

Reindeer

This one is slightly difficult. I rushed mine and it ended up quite ok but it was a bit tricky! I did an oval shape going from the bottom of the nail to the middle. Then I added the ears or whatever they're called in the reindeer world;-) Use a brown color. Then I added eyes and a mouth!

Coca Cola Lorry

We all know the Coke lorry, so I used the logo on my nails! Paint red, then write 'Coca Cola' in white! My writing looks a bit dodgy here!

Cracker

This went really wrong. I think I slightly rushed this as it was the last nail I had to do. 

So I hope you liked my little guide of Christmassy designs and colors etc. I'm off to do mine now, this post took me 3 hours to do! I was making Christmas cake while trying to attempt this post! So at 19:10 I can finally go and paint mine! Tomorrow I'll do a NOTW post showing you mine! I also need to post my Blogmas up soon too! 

Feel free to show me your designs and photo's of yours, I'd love to see them!

Christmas Gift Guide!

 Essie Winter Collection |  OPI Skyfall Collection | New Look Cake Stand | Lush Snow Fairy | Lady gaga; Fame | Naked Palette

Hey lovelies♥

So its that time of the year again! Hot water bottles, rain, snow, frost, ice, Christmas movies, Elf, Presents, Busy streets.. the list is endless but thats what makes Christmas so special! We all complain about doing 'the Christmas shop' but really, on the 25th when we see our loved ones open their presents and receive something that they've been wanting all year or have seen many adverts about, we all do cartwheels and jump for joy inside, because it makes the day special by giving, not just receiving. 
The only problem we all sometimes make.. giving someone something that they don't want, or do not have an interest in.. Obviously because this is a Beauty/Food/Lifestyle blog these are beauty gifts, so before these inspire you to go out and spend,spend,spend, make sure that the person receiving these actually has an interest in the products listed! 
Later this month I will be doing 'Christmas week' full of Christmassy things, just like I did with Halloween week. I decided to do this early, just because people are shopping quite early this year and I just thought this would be a better time to do it, than a week before Christmas.
So, without further ado, I will sh and get on with it!

Essie Winter Collection | £9.95 | ASOS
I spotted this and thought it was a great gift! Slightly under £10.. just! Which makes it a great gift for a friend or for a stocking filler. It's also a great gift for people that are unsure of what they want or if you're unsure of what shades and brands they like. Personally, I have never tried Essie but, I am trying some soon for Christmas! I didnt put this on my Christmas list *why* but I will do now! I think its just perfect for the people I listed above and think its great for this season; as its Winter!

OPI Skyfall Mini's Collection | £13 | John Lewis
I put OPI on my Christmas list, not these mini's collection but just one of the Skyfall's. I'll be doing a haul & review so dont worry!
I have never tried OPI, I dont think they're sooo overpriced, I just havent managed to purchase one yet. But, I think this is a great gift for the same reasons listed on the gift above. I think the product is great for beauty hoarders and people exactly like myself! It's also a great gift to have, being a collection, and something that is fairly new. The shades are also wintery too! Perfect for Christmas!

Cake Stand | £9.99 | New Look 
This is a slightly different present maybe? I have actually asked for this, both as a cake stand for all my pretty decorated after-Christmas cupcakes AND for my makeup storage! Its multi-use and very girly. I'm planning on storing my eyeshadows on this, as all of them are all over my makeup desk untidy. This is an excellent stocking filler for any age, even if you cant find something for Mum and she loves baking, or if you have a neice who bakes or a Sister that keeps makeup in the same way! Its multi-purpose and a pretty thing to have around the house! 

Snow Fairy | £3.50 | Lush
Perfect stocking filler! For my 'stocking fillers' I have these wrapped up and put under the Christmas tree, I call them my 'small presents' and I normally get two big presents to open too. I HAVE put this on my list this year, I've never tried it before so I cant comment on the scent but everyone writes great reviews about it, so I'm basing my decision on them! Obviously making sure the female you're buying it for uses bath things and shower gels etc, because if not, it wont be put to good use! It's great for the price and really adds a lovely touch and something nice to open. Its also from the Lush Christmas range and only comes out once a year, so get it while you can!

Lady Gaga; Fame | £49 | Lord & Taylor.com
This is another one that I havent tried but all reviews are good. Obviously check the reviews before buying but really and truthfully; I dont think you need to! It's a celebrity scent which some people are fussy about *personally, I LOVE celeb scents!* and I cant really see why, but people say this isnt like 'A celeb scent' its like a designer scent. The whole 'black perfume' really put me off at first but now I cant wait to try it, although its not on my Christmas list for this year!

Urban Decay; Naked Palette | £36 | Debenhams
Perfect reviews, shades for everyone, Urban Decay. Thats all I need to say! I don't have this palette and was debating whether to spend a whole £36 on it, I do want it but I don't really know whether to actually buy it. We all know its a good palette but I might just get the Undressed palette by MUA first.
This is a perfect gift because all the shades suit everyone. Nudes & Brows are versatile and suitable for any skin or hair color, its all about how strong or light the color is blended/ lip color. The naked palette is perfect for any teens or any adults in the family, just because its something anyone who loves makeup would be happy with opening. 

I really hope you enjoyed having a read of my gift guide, I might do 'Gift Guide 2' in a few days time, but I just thought I would do this one as I was having a bit of a scan about on the internet and thought it would be a great idea. I know I havent tried most of them, but I know a good gift when I see one! ;-)
My Blogmas Day 6 will be up in a minute too!

What do you all want for Christmas?

Are any on the list?

NOTW | Black & White Ombre!

Hey lovelies♥

So my last post was a nail post too, but since Saturday I've done my nails  again. I did something quite new, that was pretty popular this year; Ombre.

Last year 'Crackle' was a good trend for nails, I only bought 1 crackle polish because I wasnt into the trend sooo much, I liked it but it wasnt something I'd rush to the shops to buy. Then this year, glitter has been quite popular, and recently, really recently, the 'electric' or 'magnet' type polishes are popular.. and yes, they're on my Christmas list!

But the trend that I've really liked is Ombre! I was planning on getting my hair 'Ombre-d' but I didnt really want to dye it again, I really miss my natural hair, although its getting there.. anyway.. clothes, hair, nails etc have been following the Ombre hype and this is the first time I've actually tried doing it. I always thought it would be a bit difficult, but its not.. it just takes quite a while to make it look neat and not gloopy and doesnt chip quick.

To do this I chose 2 colors and a top coat to make it shine! I really like these two colors together (metallic navy and white). The dark color looks shimmery black, maybe a hint of blue, its hard to decide! I didnt use any 'branded' nail polishes, I just used one I got out of a gift set type thing last Christmas.

Ill do a step by step of how I created them, I hope I explain easy enough..

♥ Apply a clear coat first;  
I'm sure you all have one in your nail polish collection! This isnt essential, just helps the polish to glide along and not stain the nails if you're using wintery colors like I am! If not, skip this step, its purely up to you!

♥ Apply your first color; 
So this for me was the navy blue color, apply it as you normally would paint your nails and wait for them to dry.

♥ Get yourself a sponge applicator; 
These can be bought in packs of mini ones for £1, they dont cost a lot! If not, you can use a sponge that you would apply foundation or concealer with. 

♥ Using the applicator; 

Using the eyemakeup sponge use another color to do the ombre. In my design, I used white. First, paint the color onto the tip of the nail.. dont be neat, it doesnt matter! Then, using the sponge, dab the color in. If the color fades, add a bit more to the sponge and keep dabbing. Its quite hard to explain, but just do it until your happy and it looks a little bit like I did!

♥ How should it look?
Try and get it so the tip is quite bold and the parts going downwards toward the cuticle are quite faded..this is ombre!

♥ Using the clear coat;

When everything is dry, make sure its not going to smudge. Then, apply your clear coat, just to make sure everything will stay in place. 

I tried to make this as simple and easy as I could, I'm rubbish at explaining things so I hope this helped. I might make a video of it in the New Year or something, my video schedual is crammed at the moment, so any extra videos (unless urgent) will be in March, haha!

What colors are you going to try?

Nails Inc Review | Glamour Glitter

Hey lovelies♥

                                         
Ahhh, Monday again! ..well, Tuesday now! I'm after midnight blogging haha! 

I mentioned a few days back, well, a week! That I purchased Glamour magazine. I purchased it purely for the freebie, but I did purchase it for the magazine too, just for you Cheryl! 

I think its a great magazine and the nail polish is brill too. So, I'm going to give you a review!

At first, I didnt quite think it was worth buying it and I didnt think it was worth the £11 mark in stores. Then I realised that the glitter polish 'Glamour glitter' was the Glamour magazine exclusive, so this one isnt available in shops wheras the other 3 colors (navy,red and nude) are.

I really like the small-ish particles. Please note that I added NYC 'lights-camera-glitter- with this, for the blue/pink larger particles, but the golden color smaller particles are used with the Nails Inc polish.

I used 2 coats of the Nails Inc polish because it adds a heavier layer of glitter, but if you wanted sparse glitter, this would be perfect!

In the bottle it looks very bright and gold but really, its not like that at all. Its simplistic over any nail polish shade, personally, I think black looks best! But then, this is YOUR choice.

I've tried a few glitter polishes before, all being simple drug store brands like LA Color and Barry M. These have been great for the odd Pound or two, but I have realised why this one is different.. because it leaves my nails smooth! Normally when I use glitter polishes, they feel quite rough on the nails, even though they are sparse particles AND use a clear coat underneathe! The Barry M one does this a lot! 

I'm now happy with my selection of what freebie I should have chose, I was a bit disheartened that I didnt get the red or navy one, but I suppose this one is a one off with the magazine! 

Its also great for the Christmas party season!

I hope this review wasnt extremely loooong, but I just wanted to give an ok review as I hardly do them anymore!

Lots of love,

hope you all had a good weekend,

♥

Glamour Magazine | Freebie | Nails Inc

Hey lovelies♥

As you ALL must know, Nails Inc were doing a freebie in Glamour Magazine UK this month! (November issue) and is it me or have ALL the Youtubers and Bloggers been going crazy over this freebie?! I think its a good freebie, purely because Nails Inc doesnt quite 'tickle my fancy' and to get a free one before Christmas is great, just to decide if I would actually buy this for myself for a whole price of £11.

I dont think I would pay £11 for Nails Inc, I have two other nail polishes from them, they were also free with Fabulous magazine a while back. 

They had an option of Red, Black, Glitter and a nude color. The other colors were nice but I thought this one stood out the most. 

I wasnt actually going to get the Glamour magazine with the nail polish because I dont really collect magazines (although I have now told myself I'm going to collect Glamour mag) but after visiting ASDA very early on Saturday morning to get some christmas goodies, I thought why not, and picked it up.

I havent actually read the magazine yet, or tried out the nail polish, so I will be having a read tomorrow or the next day and sometime this week I will be trying out the nail polish with a NOTW post.

The glitter looks really pretty BUT on other people's blogs it looks very sparse glitter. This is why I wouldnt pay £11 because its sparse glitter whereas the £3 Barry M glitter and the £2 NYC glitter arnt sparse, they're very big particles. 

I'll have to try this to properly review it, but all I know is that is gold glitter and they're sparse, I'll paint them soon and keep you updated with a proper review!

Ill post the review sometime this week because this magazine wont last forever because its monthly.

Have you all bought this? What one did you buy?

My Nails Of The Week!

Hey Lovelies!

So I thought I would go back to my normal posts of 'Nails Of The Week!'. I havent done these in ages because I went on a blog/youtube break AND I didnt paint my nails for a while because they become so dry..dont ask me, I have no idea!

So this week on my nails is Ciate 'Wait Until Dark' and LA color 'Treasure Island'. 

Ciate costs £8 but this one was £1.50 in my local shop! I did a post a while ago on this. The LA Color one was £1 in Westfield; Beauty Base. 

The Ciate one is really nice and has a different color but its a bit drying and really made my mum's nails in bad condition. I like the shade but if I was to buy a Ciate polish I would'nt opt for this color, just because its not really me. I LOVE the LA color one though! Such a pretty sparkly color! 

Hope you like them!

..Another Bargain!

Last post of today you lovely lot!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

..Best bargain I've ever bought! Couldnt believe it!

I went into my local shop last week, just to pick up some milk and they had a shelf full of things they were getting rid of. I saw these bottles and they're so recognizable, I knew they were Ciate straight away! If im right, these are £9 each.. i got them for £1.50! These were from the Marie Curie magazine from a few months back, now I have them for a small amount! So happy, been wanting Ciate for ages! 

My Fair Lady and Wait Until Dark are the colors and Mum is wearing Wait Until Dark at the moment and its not as purple as it looks, its like a misty purple/brown with shimmer. I need to try My Fair Lady!

So happy with these and they apply really nice and quickly!

Lots of love..

London Haul!

Okay so as you all know I went to London last Saturday. I picked up quite a few beauty bits so im going to show you them now and the clothing tomorrow. Sorry if this post is extra long aha.

I bought quite a lot!

So first thing Im showing is this.. this is really lovely! I started collecting candles a while ago and stopped, shame because you can get some lovely ones for hardly any cost. I love decorating my room with pretty ones and as im swapping rooms nearer to Christmas or whatever, these type candles will really match in. 

I bought it from Primark for just £1! Its a lovely medium size so good for the price.

I really like the packaging/jar. Its not tacky and looks really pretty and girly. It suits the title of Spring Blossom.

I really like the smell.. its quite strong but once it burns it might not be as strong as it smells out of the jar.

I picked up this pretty bracelet for £3.. I love it! Been looking for one, for ages.

I love the beads on it.. Its more pink in real life but I think the camera didnt pick it up.

The beads are so pretty and for £3 im made up! I think they did another color but I cant remember... check out Primark if you want one!

I picked up some pretty makeup bits that didnt cost a lot too!

Available in Poundland/Savers. Im not a cheap skate or whatever but I love a bargain. I saw on someones blog that these are available here and they're like a dupe of the 'Clinique Chubby Stick' Im going to review these more on another post anyway, so shh!

Autumn shades!

They're really smooth! Great for £1.

Looking forward to trying them out. Really pretty shades!

Finally bought it! Like the products above, I'll go into detail about this in another post but this is part of the haul so I'll show you. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr. 

Shade-On and on Bronze. I picked this shade up because you can build it up for day or night. Amazing for £5.

 I picked up and Eyeliner from Beauty Base, only £1 so i thought I would try it as I love Beauty Base!

Not amazing packaging but I didnt really expect that.

Its really light but liquidy.. such a deep black.

Dont know about the applicator quality yet, I'll tell you soon!

I picked up these! £1 each from Beauty Base! Different shades..soso pretty.

Sassy Sparkle - Good for summer or winter nail effect.

Fiji Purple - good for winter as its a deep purple shade. Its got a hint of pink too.

Goddess- Such a pretty bronze color, big & small glitter particles and is great for autumn.

Shock- Good for summer and autumn as its a satsuma/mustard color. Never bought a shade like this before!

A different, but pretty range of colors. Ill have to add these to my 'Nails of the week' videos! Ill be painting them soon!

What ones your favourite?!

Last thing! I got these free in Westfield: Stratford as I was passing a Nivea stall near Forever21. So, anyone living there or visits there, remember to pass by! They seem good to try out!

Have you bought any of these recently?

Lots of love..
