Nail Polish Collection #1 'Nails Inc'

Decided over the weekend I was gonna do a post on my updated nail polish collection but that would be far too picture heavy so I am still going to do it but over a few posts and by brand, so today is Nails inc.......

L-R- NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL,WESTBOURNE GROVE,BELGRAVE SQUARE

Think these three are my favourite for the summer months nice vibrant shades and a lovely glossy finish love them.

L-R REGENT STREET,OLD PARK LANE,DOWNING STREET

I got this on a whim one day I was in town one day and in a mood to spend money so popped into Debenhams and just got these, I do actually really like them I must admit I don't use them as much as i should as there are other polishes I like more but they are still nice :)

L-R VICTORIA,DRAYCOTT TERRACE,ST JAMES ST

I got these a free gift when I got the three metallic shades and I must admit I LOVE Draycott Terrace and St James st and have got a lot of use out of them

 

L-R Basil Street,Porchester Square,Hampstead Gardens,Victoria

These are definetly my winter shades I especially love the dark mustard yellow shade of Hampstead Gardens and the nude Basil Street :)

So they are my Nails Inc polishes and overall i do really love them,just wish the lids didn't get so mucky so quickly.

What do you think of Nails Inc polishes?

'Spring Nails'- Revlon 'Guava'

With Flash

Recently I have really liked the Revlon Top Speed Nail varnishes, It all came about as good Old Boots has their 3 for 2 offers on and I had heard some good things about the Revlon Top Speed Polishes I have to say they have lived up to their hype and I love them, they are fast becoming my favourite drugstore brand of polishes. When I got some on the 3 for2 I picked up 'Guava' 'Cupid'and 'Poppy'

The shade I'm wearing in these pictures is 'Guava' which is a stunning coral/peachy shade and so pretty for the Spring/Summer months, I used 2 coats which applied like a dream and obviously the name gives it away but they dry very quick, me being me I did manage to have an itch and smudge a nail whilst it was still a little wet though!

I love this shade really do think it is a pretty colour and will look amazing with a tan when on holiday.
You can buy these in Boots and they retail for £6.49 in Boots and at the minute they have their 3 for 2 offers on, YAY!

What Nail polishes are you liking at the min? Have you tried the Revlon Top Speed ones?

L-R-Kiss me on the tulips,Re light ahead...where?,Suzi pedal faster,I have a herring problem,Fly,Dit it on em,metallic4 life,save me,are we there yet?,Gouda Gouda two shoes

.OPI 'Gouda Gouda Two Shoes'- From their Dutch collection is a beautiful muted pink with stunning shimmer in.

OPI 'Fly'-Is stunning I love this sky blue shade and love layering glitter over the tops of it, will look so nice on toenails come the summer walking along the beaches

OPI 'Save Me' -An amazing glitter base polish with lots of hologrpahic  strands in it,can either layer it up sand where it on it's own or add that extra touch to a shade .

OPI' Are we there yet?'- I've had this shade for a long time now it has been neglected quite a bit until recently when I have fallen in love with it, a gorgeous melon shade with a very subtle hint of shimmer in it.

OPI Metallic for life- I know isn't a very 'spring/summer' shade but I have been loving this a lot at the min so i thought I would just chuck it in for good measure

OPI Suzi pedal faster- Beautiful baby pink/lavender shade with hint of shimmer needs 2/3 coats to get full coverage though as very sheer.

OPI Kiss me on the Tulips- I'm wearing this at the moment it is a bright pink and looks bright in the bottle but once it hits the nails it has another level of brightness and I love it.

OPI 'Red Lights Ahead.....Where?'- This is going straight on my toes as soon as we get hot sunny weather this is an amazing shade a coral/hot red just automatically reminds me off summer

OPI Did It On Em- A beautiful lime green shade which again just reminds me of summertime.

I'm also loving my good ol faithful Barry M =Peach Melba,Blue Moon and Mint Green.

Obviously can never really see the shades that clearly in pictures, So if you want me to a specific Nail of the day post then just let me know and I will. 

What polishes are you loving?

October Faves

L-R 17 Purple Haze, Benefit Do Tell

Vaseline Body Lotions- I am obsessesd with these, in these cold winter months I find my skin gets so dry so I always make sure I moisturise it all the time and you can not beat Vaseline body lotions especially the Aloe Fresh Hydrating one leaves my skin feeling amazing and the smell is amazing fresh cucumbers sooo good!

O.P.I Muppet Collection - I think this is one of my favourite collections around at the min, I have Divine Swine which is a gorgeous purple glitterfest with huge silver chunks of glitter like nothing I have owned before and I love it, I also love  Excuse Moi which is a stunning deep red fine glitter polish and Pepes Purple Passion a lovely deep plum with hints of glitter in it which is perfect for winter, I also have their AMAZING Rainbow Connection which is beyond amazing but will be doing a post about that. Also loving my nude shades as well I have been wearing a lot of Nails Inc Basil Street which is a beautiful toffee shade.

17 Lipstick 'Purple Haze'-Jst a pretty deep plum shade which a lovely glossy finish which is perfect for autumn and winter and I have not got a shade like it, leaves my lips feeling so moisturised afterwards as well

Benefit 'Do Tell'-  I have had this shade for a while now and always thought it was too dark for me, but now in these colder months I have grown to love it and Benefit lipsticks just glide on I love them

L'Occitane Hand Creams - I got one of these free in my Marie Claire magazine and then I mentioned to my lovely Mum how much I loved it and two days later there was one in the post for me where she had gone and bought Marie Claire and sent me the Hand Cream, bless her. My fave is without a doubt the Hibiscus Flower one, and I have just purchased the full sized ones on their website before they end as they are limited Edition as they really are amazing and leave my hands nice and smooth

I can not believe i is November already Just madness! Hope everyone is well! And what are your faves from October?

Adore Miss Guided Splash Nail Colour :)

Hi Dolls :)

How are you all? So this is just a short blog tonight as really tired so gonna chill and watch some DVDS.
Anyway i got Cosmopolitan Magazine today and with it got afree Miss Guided Nail Splash, I personally have never heard of them before o didn't know what to expect but i made sure i got the Nude shade as i always get bright pinks,Greens, and Reds or dark blck and blue so tought i would go for something very different and the outcome? I love it!!!!


This brandof Nail Splash as it is called is amzing only need one coat or 2 if you like it extra thick and it drys litreally straight away. What Brands of polish are you liking?

** N.O.T.D**

 

Son on Saturday i got my Marie Claire Magazine and with it was a Ciate Nail Varnish in a bright vamp red colour wish to start with i wasn't too sure about as i normally like bright pastel colours or blacks and nudes never been over struck on reds, but the packaging and the design of the bottle itself with the cute little bow on it made me give it a go and i was pleasantly surprised, My nails are quite short at the min so thought it may look a bit odd but it didn't and all i needed was one coat and that gave it enough colour and shine where else with some nail varnish's i have to use 2 or 3 coats, This colour is called 'Mission' and in the light can look bright red or in certains lights looks orange, The pics were taken on my Blackberry so not the best quality which i apologise for

 

See in this light and angle i think they look more orange than the vamp red

 

And then here think it shows them more red

 

 

I love the dainty bow on the bottle think it a really nice extra touch.

 

If there was one thing i didn't like about it, it would have to be they took a while to dry where i like my normal nail varnish's to be quick drying ones so i can do my other hand straight away with this i had to wait a while. I went on Ciates website to have a look around and have to say i fell in love with the varnish's they have so in the future i will be ordering them online. Also if you love ya magazines like me go and get Marie Claire to get your free Nail Varnish and inside you get a code for 25%  off ya purchase on ciate online!
