My Favourite Spring Nail Polishes

Hullo Ladies

I haven't talked about nail polish in ages so I thought I'd do a post on my favourites for Spring, these are polishes that I've been loving in the last few weeks.

Even though this is a "Favourites" post, these are in no particular order. 

Leighton Denny - Plush Pink. I'm wearing it now and it's my favourite pink polish. It's gorgeous and goes on really nice and smooth. Usually I get fed up quickly with a nail colour and change them day to day but I just love the way this looks that, shockingly, I keep it on for days at a time! 

 Nails Inc Sprinkles - Pudding Lane. I love Nails Inc but this must be the most interesting one out my (rather large) collection. It's so amazing and I love it for when the suns out and I can show it off at its best. 

GOSH Special Edition - Lavender Love. I don't know if you can still get this but If you can find it in your local Superdrug I suggest picking it up. It's a gorgeous lavender blue. It's beautiful on the nails.

Ciate - Bon Bon - I don't know if this is in the actual range as this came free with a magazine about a year ago (sorry!) It's a gorgeous nude though and I believe Ciate have a few of those in their line. It's a very warm toned nude which I seem to prefer. 

 

Maybelline SuperStay - Mint For Life. I decided to buy a mint polish a few weeks ago for Spring and picked up this. I really like the Maybelline Nail polishes and will be picking up some more in the future. I love this colour and will probably be wearing it throughout Spring and Summer. 

So those are my favourite Spring Nail Polishes. 

I'm off to go paint my nails with Pink Plush!

Hope You Are All Having A Great Weekend :-)

Barry M Nail Paints

Hullo Ladies,

I have added a few new Barry M Nail Paints to my polish collection today which I bought from Superdrug.

From L- R Strawberry Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream and Copper.

Blueberry Ice Cream is a lovely light blue, I love blue colour but realised last night that most of the blues in my collection are dark and I only had one light blue, which was a shimmer, this caught my eye this morning and I picked it up straight away :)

Strawberry Ice Cream is a light pink that is quite sheer on the first coat giving you a natural french nail but on the second coat it becomes more opaque and like the colour in the bottle.

It looks like Barry M has brought out a few new shades too and this is one of them :) I love it, you can layer it to have the same colour pay off that is in the bottle or you can use it sparingly as a top coat over another colour or bare nail to just add a bit of shimmer.

So this is my Barry M Nail Paint Collection so far.

From L - R Berry Ice Cream, Peach Melba, Strawberry Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream, Cyan Blue and Copper.

I love the formula of the Barry M nail polishes. I have tried higher end brands and some of them are not nearly as good as these polishes. For just £2.99 it's an inexpensive way to have gorgeous nails :)

What is your favorite Barry M Nail Paint?

NOTD - 17 - Lasting Fix - Toasted Almond

Hey Ladies,

For the last few weeks, I feel like all that has been on my nails are pastels or bright colours. So because its the day after Easter I decided to try something different.

I actually had forgotten I had this colour until a few days ago when I found it going through some of my old school things. I checked on the Boots website and it's still on there so people are still able to find it.

It's called Toasted Almond and its a lovely metalic taupe. I find it quite hard to describe and I havn't seen anything similar before.

This is just two coats and it drys very fast.

I love the 17 polishes, they are great quality and inexpensive. It's been on all day and I havn't suffered any chipping yet so I'm very pleased with that :)

Have you tried any 17 nail polishes? Do you have a favorite?

Thanks, Linzi xx

REVIEW - Maybelline Nail Polish in Mermaid Blue

Maybellines Mermaid Blue Nail polish is a bright metalic blue, It gives an amazing effect to the nails that is very eye-catching. Everytime I have worn it I've gotten compliments on how interesting it is. Blue nail  polishes are my favorite right now, light blue, dark blue. It doesnt matter, I love them all.

There are many nail polishes like this out there, I think nearly every brand I looked at in Superdrug the other day had an equivalent to it. The day I bought this I was looking at the GOSH nail polish in Ocean but I found this to be an amazingly close match to it and this was cheaper and because I'm still saving for that laptop this seemed more like the sensible buy.

I love the packaging, when I picked it up my mams verdict was that it looked "funky" so there you go, how could I not buy it? :)

One coat held up well but I applied two just for luck, It lasted a good two days on me without a top coat before it started chipping.

This is the type of nail polish that I wouldn't mind wearing during the day or on a night out. I think It's very adaptable and would look lovely with a nice sun dress or even some skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

These nail polishes are £2.99 each.

Thanks, Linzi xx

REVIEW - Nails Inc 3 Piece Black Crackle Collection

 Hello Ladies,

                      This is a review of a set of Nails Inc nail polishes I bough from QVC last year. Its a crackle set, with two normal colours and a crackle colour.

This is a lovely set that can be worn for either a special occasion or casual wear.

"Old Queen Street"

This is a lovely colour to wear on your own if your brave, for me it's quite hard to pull off and due to my shaky hands It ends up going everywhere.

I love the way the black crackle looks with this colour. It's quite elegent and can be used for both a night out or everyday wear.

"Cambridge Terrace"

 I love this colour, it's one of my favorites out of my whole nail polish collection. Recently I have worn it on just two nails and put a lovely bright pink on the remaining nails. 

Sorry for the chipped nails, I took the picture just before I repainted my nails instead of after :(

"Camden Crackle Topcoat"

This is a great crackle that looks amazing on all the colours I've painted it over. It dries down matt but if you want it glossy just add a top coat. This is the only crackle polish I have tried. I might pick up the Barry M ones or the Models Own to see if there is any difference.

Nails Inc polishes can be quite expensive but I really want some then I buy from QVC so you get more for your money :)

What crackles do you like to use and what colours to you put with them?

Thanks, Linzi xx
