♥ Turquoise Pastel Polish & Glitter

Today I'm going to share a polish I really like. I have shown it before but since everyone is sharing their spring and pastel polishes, I wanted to show that you can find great quality ones, for hardly nothing!

This is £1 from the brand Gabrini, I've shown it before:
-The polish (here)
-The polish+glitter (here)

This is two coats (even though one coat is almost covering enough), with NO top coat.
Look how glossy it is?

This is what the polish looks like!

Here is the second version, using a La Colors (also £1) polish on top. I used two coats this time, in the old post (the one I link in the beginning), I think I only used one.

Here is with a top coat on, Seche Vite.

So glossy!

La Colors Mint green glitter polish shade: Treasure Island

& Gabrini Nail polish "summer edition" shade: 107

 

 How do you like these, 
do you try cheap brands like these, or do you automatically think they wont be any good?

♥ First Video Tutorial- Pastel Leopard Print Nails

Hi Everyone!

So I've just done my first video tutorial. This one is on how to create leopard print nails, this is the second time ever I've done it, the first time is the one that you can see in my header.

This time I used a slightly different method to create them.

If you like it, pleae give a thumbs up :)

I hope you liked it! Also, it's only my third time using iMovie so I really hope that the tutorial is good enough to understand. Was really struggling to place my camera as well to show my nails, so I ended up placing it awkwardly on a pillow on my bed lol.

I finished of with Seche Vite top coat.

Was the video ok?
Have you made leopard print nails, if so, share the post with me :D

& did you use another method?

♥ Colourful Make up

Here's a little colourful make up I did a while ago.

Is this picture moving in for all of you,

and if not, which browser are you using?

 

My eyebrow isn't done and I know there's like a gap between my lashes and my eyeliner, oh well it was just a quick thing.

 All these colours are from my E.L.F palette.

What do you think?

Here are some of my recent buys, what do you think?

Army pattern jacket, similar to THIS urban outfitters one

Tylor the Creator top (rapper), I've been wanting a Lil' Wayne one for so long (used to be a major fan), but that top just feels a bit too hyped/mainstream now.

Levis denim shorts, Im putting studs on these!!

Ring with chain from Dorothy Perkins (I've shown this on Instagram)

Golden stud earring from D.P.  And no it's not that strecher earring some "Rock- People" have, it's a normal earring :)

♥ Purple OPI & BF Sparkles

For this I used two coats of OPI "Grape Set Match", one coat of BF (Beauty Forever) Sparkly Polish in shade 19 and one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Now to the pics, as quite often, my camera would not work with me (focus) and I actually think the iphone 4s pictures came out nicer!? What do you think..?

Taken with my iPhone and posted & edited on Instagram

 

This is one of those cheap nail polish brands (read: 80% of the polishes I own) for £1 at my local hair shop. I really like this combination but the funny thing about this glitter polish is that the colour is a bit misleading, as you can see the glitter is silver. The glitter polish on it's on has a slight purple tint but not enough to matter.

What do you think?

♥ Catherine Arley Holographic Pink Polish

Catherine Arley Holographic Pink Polish

Quite a long while ago I order this Catherine Arley holographic polish from Ebay. It got lost in the post so I never received it. I told the seller and she was so nice and took my word for it, and sent me a new one immediately. I would really recommend her if you want to buy these polishes (link)

Anyway I love it, its soo nice. Despite the shimmer, the colour makes a nice every day colour since it's not very bright.

This brand is so cheap for a holographic polish and I think it's Bulgarian since the seller is based in Bulgarian and from researching I've noticed it's usually available on Bulgarian websites.

It's around £4 excluding postage, so I really recommend THIS seller if your in Europe.

Here is a direct link to the polish I ordered click :)

I used three coats, but they dried quickly and I finished off with Seche Vite top coat so I didn't have to sit and wait :)

 This is what it looks like & most of the ingredients

Have you tried holographic polishes, if so link your post, I want to see :)


And what do you think of my one?

♥ Sleek Pout Paints Mash up

I have done a review on the Sleek Pout Paints before, HERE. If you've followed my blog you would know I almost always use that pink shade (the one in my header) and thats because I absolutely love the pout paints. I have now bought another shade and thought I'd do another review.

This is why I love them:

-You only need a tiny drop of it
-Its really covering and pigmented
-Even the lighter shades are very covering and your lips look moisturised
-Mix them together to get different shades
-The ingredients are very good for a lipstick/lipgloss, Sleek Pout Paints ingredients:

Polyisobutene, Polybutene, Castor Oil, Bees Wax, Caprylic Triglyceride, Silica, Butylated Hydroxy Anisole, Glycol Distearate, Sweet Almond Oil, Octyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitamin E, Squalane, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyiglycerin, Fragrance

May Contain: Titanium Dioxide Cl 77891, D&C Red 6 Cl 15850, D&C Red 7 Cl 15850, D&C Red 27 Cl 45410, FD&C Yellow 5 Cl 19140, FD&C Blue 1 Cl 42090, Iron oxides (Cl 77499, Cl 77492)

The shades I've used in the pictures above are: Sleek Pout Paints Mauve Over, Sleek Pout Paints 156 Peachy Keen. So in the pictures are each colours unmixed, one mix between them two, and ombre lips.

What do you think of the Sleek Pout Paints.. have you tried them?

If you've tried the OCC Tars, which one do you prefer?

♥ DIY: Sweet Orange Lipscrub

I know most of you probably know how to do this since it's not at all complicated. But I thought I'd show those who don't know, and reminds those who do. I also thought it would be fun to show my own version :)

• I used a lipbalm travel jar from Primark (it comes in a set of 3 lipbalm jars and three lotion bottles, for £1). 
• Fill the jar half way or a bit more with Castor Sugar
• Pour Jojoba Oil so that you just about cover the sugar, if theres more space, add more sugar & oil subsequently.
• Finish off with adding Sweet Orange Essential Oil

 Alternatives: You can use: salt instead of sugar, although I wouldnt, any other oil instead of Jojoba oil, Fragrance or any other essential oil (like Peppermint Oil) instead of Orange Oil

Hope you liked this. Do you use your own lip scrub or do you prefer the Lush ones?
