Sinful Colors

Hi everyone,

Sorry this is late, my computer has finally given up! I've been so excited since I found out sinful colors had arrived in the UK, I went straight off to so many boots only to find they'd practically sold out at each one, but I finally got a hold of some!

Nail Junkie- This one surprised me, I liked it in the bottle but on the nails I love it! Plus the name completely drew me in, I am a complete Nail Junkie. It's a jelly polish, green and packed full of holographic glitter in green/gold and silver, I can see this becoming a new favourite, I'd go with 2-3 coats.

Kissy- A green-blue jelly with tons of gold shimmer, this one is different to anything I already have, for the price I thought I might as well pick it up. I thought it was alright with 2 coats but it might be the best with 3.

Mint Apple- This one I was most excited to pick up, due to my mint obsession! It's a shimmery green, the shimmer is gold which makes it very different to any of my other mint polishes, I like it but I can't say it's my favourite. It's good with about 1-2 coats.

Pink Glitter- I was desperate to get this one, but every boots I went to was sold out, so when I saw one lurking on a shelf the other day I grabbed it quick and I love it, it's a jelly glittery pink, the glitter is holographic and it also has a holographic shimmer to it, I like it with 2 maybe 3 coats.

Glass Pink - I picked this one up as I don't really have anything like it, It's a very sheer polish which I wasn't really expecting, it's a lovely shimmery pink colour, but I think it really needs 3-4 coats until its opaque.

(All the swatches are 2 thin coats)

I can't wait to get my hands on more! The colour selection is really good and the wear on them is amazing for £1.99, I had Mint Apple on for 5 days till it started to chip with no topcoat!

I'm extremely impressed with these and will probably end up with even more, you can get them in the UK finally here.

Have you tried Sinful Colors? What do you think and which are your favourites?

MUA Power Pout

Hi Everyone,

I'm back! Sorry for the longer than expected break, I just didn't know what to blog about and got in a bit of a blogging muddle. But yesterday I ran out for these, The new MUA Power Pouts, Ive been desperate to get these and they've reignited my blogging ideas! 

Runway - This is the red of the group, Id say its more of a orange based red, I struggle with reds and with orange so I'm hoping this will be a colour that will suit me, because I fell in love when swatching it.

Irreplaceable - This one is a Baby Pinky Violet, This is quite a nice colour for spring and just a natural pink kind of look for the daytime too.

Crazy in Love - This has to be my favourite from the whole collection, probably joint with Broken Hearted, Its a lovely Raspberry Red/Pink Colour which I kinda wish I had back around the winter time and not spring, But I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of this one.

Justify - Is the Orange of the group, I'm not a big fan of orange lips as I just don't think they suit me but I love this colour, It might sway me to the orange bandwagon!

Rendezvous - Rendezvous was the one I was most scared off, But it happily surprised me, I thought it would be one of those nudes that just washes you out. But I found it was more of those my lips but better shade, Its more of a peachy nude.

Broken Hearted - This one is one of my favourites from the whole collection, Its a lovely dark pink, One of my all time favourite lip colours, so I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this one!

I wasn't expecting these to be quite so pigmented, which is a plus. They have a really nice minty smell and taste but that doesn't last too long I found. They feel really moisturising on, I wasn't expecting it at first, They did keep my lips moisturised for quite a while, Which is a achievement with my super dry lips. Plus the colour range is pretty good and varied.

I love the packaging, The only downside is the lid isn't very secure on some, My Runway has taken a hit for the worse after being dropped... oops. So just watch out, I'm not sure if it is just my one though. 

Overall I think Ive fallen in love with yet another lip product... oops :/ . 

These are great value though at £3 and are available here.

Have you tried any of these? Which one is your favourite?

Sorry for the Mini Break!

Hi Everyone, 

Sorry for the lack of posts, I feel bad even if I have just missed one. I'm stuck in a bit of a beauty blogging rut and just don't know what to write about. However I think Ive come up with a few ideas over the past few days so hopefully there will be a new post tonight or tomorrow. Sorry again!

Spring Nail Polish Picks!

Hi Everyone,

Today I thought Id share my favourite nail polishes for spring time, with a few classic kind of spring shades and some that are more fitting for the Spring 2013 Trends

Firstly is GreenBerry by Barry M, As you may already know from my last post, I'm a HUGE fan of mint nail polish, So there's no surprise there's one in my Spring Picks! GreenBerry is from the Hi-Shine Gelly Range, Which is great for that Gel Nail look and its just a classic Green spring shade which can be worn every year!

o

Next is also another spring shade that pops up every year, The Baby/Pale Pink, This one is Nails Inc Elizabeth Street. This is a really sheer polish, Id say the most sheer out of all of them. (all swatches are 2 coats), this could also be used in a french Manicure way too.

This is Jo'Mina (Not sure why it says Jo on the Bottle) by Illamasqua and this is a great pastel but bold Lilac/Purple nail polish for Spring. Its a really easy shade and goes on perfectly with 1-2 coats.

Metallic Manicures seem to be quite a trend this year, So Ive chosen Rage by Orly, Its a amazing rose gold sort of colour, which I love to bits (Was my prom choice). I did seem to smudge it somehow looking back at the swatch (sorry), But its perfect in just 2 coats and dries pretty quickly too.

Another Huge trend this year is the Neutral Manicure, Ive chosen My Vampire is Buff by O.P.I, This is a bit of a different neutral its a bit grey-ish in tone, It goes on ok in 1-2 coats, It may need 3 though. It is limited edition though so if you like it grab it fast, I struggled to find it too.

Lastly is Bubblegum by Models Own,  This is to tie in with the Neon Trend that seems to be popping up around spring time as well as summer, This colour also dries to a matte finish (another trend), I'm very sad as I write this though as I just smashed my bottle of it, So I'm off to get a new one :( , It goes on like the others in 2 coats as well.

So these have been my nail Polish picks this Spring, You can find the links of where to get them all here:

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in GreenBerry £3.99
