Superdrugs Mini Haul

Hiya!

Recently I went to my local Superdrug's to look for the new Kylie Jenner SinfulShine collection and luckily they stocked it!

I wanted to purchase all 8 colours but I couldn't justify buying them all at full price so I thought I'd just wait for a deal to come on before purchasing them but I did manage to get 2 shades and the top coat. 

Kryptonite

When I first saw this on the display I feel instantly in love with it! This gorgeous teal colour made me want this collection and it didn't disappoint! No words can describe how beautiful this shade is and Kylie Jenner did an amazing job of using this shade to promote this collection. 

Kommando

This pretty nude colour is so cute and not as sparkly as I thought it'd be. Its so subtle but the sparkles make it very elegant; its an amazing everyday colour. I found that the formula for this shade was harder to paint on as it was thicker than Kryptonite.

I haven't used the topcoat yet as it seems as if its just a regular topcoat; it didn't say whether it's needed or not. I used the polishes on its own and it still gave an amazing shine after just 2 coats and the colour came out beautifully. I do hate the brush as its so small but that means that its perfect for nail art.

I am definitely going to purchase more of these polishes as I love how beautiful the shades come out.

As I was about to go and pay I spotted that Barry M had made 2 Superdrug exclusive nail paints. I managed to get both shades.

Carnival Couture

This shade reminds me of Tiki Hut from the coconut fusion range. The colour is darker than shown on the bottle but it's such a nice shade of brown.

Festival Fever

I LOVE THIS! It's bright and vibrant. This shade reminds me so much of Superdrug! 

I have always been a Barry M fan as the brushes are thick and makes painting so easy. I love the tops of these polishes as its a shiny silver lid; the lid is textured and gives it more grip. 

I am now on the hunt for the Barry M Boots exclusive polishes although I am disappointed that they didn't pick a blue shade to match the Boots logo. 

What new polishes do you love?

Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint Review

Hiya!

Finally a post that's not about food! lol! 

I am so excited to share with you Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint! I ordered all 9 colours from Superdrug as they had an offer on where you can purchase the set for £25! These polishes are infused with coconut water and coconut oil which hydrates and nourishes the nails. 

I absolutely love how pigmented they are and that there's a range of colours from nudes to spring/summer shades. They kept to the classic BarryM bottle but changes the lid which is like a shiny bronze; it kind of reminds me of the skin of a coconut.

I tested out surfboard and I wasn't too happy with this formula. The others painted well and was smooth and easy to apply but with this shade I found it very thick; I'm not sure whether it was just the bottle I had so I will purchase this shade to see. I painted 2 coats of this colour and it came out well; the finish result was shiny and smooth but best of all was that it didn't have a strong smell which is what I look for in polishes as Z can't stand the smell.

I wore this for about 3 days before it started chipping but it was only small chips so I just filled in the small chips to make it last a little longer. I'm not 100% that the polish worked but it did something to my nails as my nails have become stronger! Normally by now my nails would chip with my polish but even pressing down on them is tough. I followed the instructions and painted the polish straight on so that the coconut oil and water could start working and maybe it did. I'm not saying it absolutely worked but it did something. 

What colour do you love for spring?

Models Own Haul

Hiya!

I'm extremely sorry for the lack of posts as Z caught the flu and so did I. It's been the hardest week for us both but we're getting there.

Models own had a sale recently with everything 50% off! I went absolutely crazy and had to cut out a fair amount of polishes from my basket so I ended up with just 10 bottles.

I loved every bit of the packaging especially the cardboard sleeve that goes outside the box; its very vibrant and the colours used make me want to party! The tissue paper inside was fun with little doodles and writing.

I made a purchase of 6 HyperGel polishes and 4 Colour Chrome Polishes.

Colour Chrome (L-R) - Pearl NP262 , Blue NP242, Gold NP238, Rose NP236

Twilight HyperGel (L-R) Jet Black SG036, Everyday Grey SG035, Heather SG042, Cashmere Rose SG037, Loganberry SG038, Teal SG046

I love the Colour Chrome polishes as it was something different. These polishes are prefect for stamping but I had thrown all of my stamping set out a couple of years ago because I just couldn't find a good polish to use with it but after I had recieved these polishes I went back onto ebay and bought stamping plates and sets.

I found that the polishes did leave streaks but the colour is so gorgeous and very pigmented! 

I have purchased a few HyperGel's before but I think they've changed the formula as its so much easier to apply and it's not as thick. I absolutely love how smooth it goes on and how quick it dries. My favourite shade right now is Loganberry. Its not to red nor purple and it gives my hand a pop of colour which suits this season. I had trouble with the formula of the Cashmere Rose as it was very thick and so it was hard to paint onto my nail and the Teal polish wouldn't come off my skin until I scrubbed it but the colour is so amazing. I just love it!

Overall I am extremely happy with my purchases and I cannot wait to get more!

Models Own Diamond Luxe

Hi!

I'm so sorry for the late post but Z got ill and he becomes very clingy! I can't even go to the toilet without him screaming mummy! lol 

anyways..

I recently bought the Models Own Diamond Luxe Set from House of Fraser on offer and I cannot explain how excited I was to try them out!

 Shades of the Diamond Luxe (L-R): Pear Purple NP221, Trillion Taupe NP224, Asscher Blue NP225, Heart Red NP218

As Valentines was just around the corner I thought I'd try out a simple nail design using just Models Own polishes so I used the Diamond Luxe Heart Red NP218 & Pastel Pink NP033.

Valentines Nails 2016

The Diamond Luxe Heart Red was easy to apply and I only needed one coat! The brush was wide so all I needed was 1-2 brush strokes on my nails. I love the sparkle from the polish and the colour! I'm not a big fan of painting my nails on colour so I painted a pink heart and small dots using the Pastel Pink NP033. 

What do you plan for Valentines Day this year?
