Luna Love - Space Dust | Rimmel London Swatch

Wanted to start this off with a quick thank you to the beautiful responses I received after my last post. I was obviously a little nervous about posting it but I appreciate all of your kind words, so thank you <3

Moving quickly on because i've got a beautiful polish to show off today! Now I won't lie, this isn't new. It's also been swatched a million times, but in the words of Icona Pop.. I don't care, I love it. I picked this up the other day in Boots as a freebie (thank you 3 for 2!) and it really was an unintentional find. Luna Love is part of Rimmel London's Space Dust collection, and is the only one that I currently own. In the bottle it's a gorgeous deep magenta pink, with insanely sparkly pink and subtle blue shimmer. I'd forgotten it dries to a texture finish, which was a nice surprise for me as i'm still loving the texture craze. I've provided photos with and without top coat, let me know which you prefer!

And here's a couple with top coat.. It really lightens up the pink and makes it pop! Plus I think it brings out the blue glitter a little more, which you can see in the direct sunlight photo. The topcoat I used is my new trusty Claire's Accessories - Gel Top Coat!

That's it for today, pretend you haven't seen this polish before and revel in it's beauty with me :)

Some nail art posts coming up soon so keep an eye out!

Bling It On!

Hi there!

Did you find your camera cord? I hear you ask.

Why yes, i sure did!

Here's a couple of snaps of my previous manicure, although this was after a days wear at work so the gems didn't stay quite the same.. *pouts* But i still think it looks okay, not used to that much sparkle on my nails anyway! The polish is Sand Effect - Claire's Accessories, and shown is one coat. I love sand effect polishes and Claire's have released four colours now, all of which are stunning. The gems are also from Claire's and are currently in the sale for only £1.50, with a range of colours.

On to the photos!

Literally drooling at the sparkle of that polish!

I actually think i prefer the gems a little more toned down, so either way i'm happy! Should hopefully have start forming a routine soon for when i'll be posting, so keep an eye out. Much love to everyone!

New Year, New Manicure.

Hello you beautiful people!

So i thought i'd be all sneaky and post a manicure today and surprise you all with how quickly i got a post together. HOWEVER. Things haven't gone my way today at all. And so even though i've got plenty of photos, and was happy with the way it turned out.. i can't for the life of me find my camera cord. So i'm afraid i only have this picture from Instagram to share with you all. But be assured i'll post about the look properly once i've found it.. the polish is too beautiful to settle for a phone picture!

I'll try and get more photos up soon.. hope you all had a better new year than i did!

All That Glitters Is Gold!

Hi there!

Today i have a really quick and easy manicure to show you.. that looks super glamorous! I used three polishes for this look and it took me less than an hour to do, and that's with a coffee break :P

To create this look i used these beauties..

W7 - Gold Dazzle

Barry M Texture - Countess

Max Factor - Fantasy Fire

Want to see photos now? Yeaaaah!

 

I know that Countess had been swatched eeeverywhere lately so i popped over a light coat of Fantasy Fire to bring out some red glitter as well. I then dabbed on some Gold Dazzle with a makeup sponge and voila.. super glitzy autumn nails :)

As much as i love the texture of this polish i had to pop on a topcoat, and i definitely prefer it this way. It really makes the glitter pop!

Which do you prefer? :)

£1 Polish Wednesday.. ish.

Hi guys!

As promised here is another £1PW post, just ignore the date today :P

This is another polish from Claire's Accessories, and was the first ever leather polish i purchased! I'm quite a big fan of textured polish, and ended up buying all of their collection. It's just so simple to pop on your nails, and really doesn't need any extras to bling it up!

This is three coats of the beige leather polish, and it's really easy to apply. Because it is such a light shade it did need three for full coverage, but the darker colours only need two. I think this is a great idea for a manicure for those in a professional job where bright nails aren't encouraged.. It's muted but still with a little something special. Plus you'll spend all day stroking your nails because the texture feels awesome!

What do you think, worth £1? Because this is old stock you might struggle to find any now but they have got leather polishes in their new style, with an added navy colour which is on my to buy list! I have got a polish from work to show you soon.. trust me when i say i actually squealed when i got it in delivery!

Bye for now! Becky x
