NOTD - Barry M Polka Dot Nails

I used Barry M Turquoise Blue and Barry M Bright Pink. I created the polkadots with an opened bobby pin x

NOTD - Nail Rocks

I received these in one of my recent Glossy Boxes and was so excited to try them.

They were really difficult to put on and I took them off soon after! I couldn't get them filed down properly and the edges were very ragged.

Such a pity as they do look lovely if done properly!

Have you tried Nail Rocks? What did you think?

NOTD - 17 Magnetized Nail Polish

Love this nail polish, goes on really well and easy to create an effect which looks stunning!

This is the First brand of the Magnetized type polishes I've tried, but am really impressed by it and can't wait to try the other colours!

Christmas Nails

Rimmel Fruities - Cranberry Zest

Rimmel - Fruities Lasting Finish - Cranberry Zest

Love this colour! And does smell fruity but not for long. Dying to buy the strawberry pink next!

Barry M Love

Barry M is my most favourite brand when it comes to nail polish! I currently have 15 of their colours, and I plan on working my way up to getting the whole range. At only £2.99 for nail paints and £3.99 for the nail paint effects, it's not an impossible task!

My fave colours so far are:

308 - Berry Ice Cream

 

306 - Blueberry Ice Cream

      293 - Grey

       279 - Bright Pink

Which ones are your fave, and which colours would you recommend I get next?

Missguided - Teal

I picked up the August Cosmo, which came with a free Missguided Nail Polish. I chose the teal colour.

It needed 2 layers, but went on nicely and is shiny. I love the colour!

Manicure & Pedicure

 I had my first manicure and pedicure on Thursday night (I know, right?!) and I am so amazed at what a difference it has made to my nails!  This is something I am definitely going to start doing on a regular basis!

This is the colour I chose, It's O.P.I's Pamplona Purple!

MUA

Following on from Superdrug...Superfail, here is my review on the colours I did end up getting:

MUA Shade 15. The first photo is without a flash, second with the flash. Neither of the photos do justice to the colour, it's a bright pink with a hint of coral. I really like the colour, and will definitely be using it again.

 

 MUA Shade 5. I really like this colour, but I hate the nail polish!! I don't know why the pink was so different to this one, but as you can tell by the photo, even after 2 layers it was blotchy. The nail polish is extremely watery. The good thing about it is that it lasted forever with no chips. Does anyone know a similar colour from a different brand?

Superdrug....Superfail!

I recently blogged about a promotion Superdrug were doing, Finger Paint: Free Nail Polish, where if you bought 2 500ml bottles of coke, you would receive 2 limited edition MUA Nail polishes.

Last night I went into Superdrug in Wimbledon, looking forward to receiving 2 new polishes. What a disappointment! I grabbed my cokes, and noted the tag underneath them showing the promotion. I looked around and couldn't see any nail polishes, so thought maybe they were with all the other MUA products. But they were nowhere to be found.

I located a Superdrug person and asked where I could find the nail polishes, but she had no idea what I was talking about. I then had to show her the tag underneath the cokes showing the promotion. She then called 2 other Superdrug supervisors and asked them, and they also knew nothing about the promotion.  I was then told to just choose any 2 colours I want from the MUA display.  I said to the Superdrug lady that maybe she should call someone to find out about the promotion as I might not be the only person to come in and ask about it. She just shrugged her shoulders and said 'Well why can't you just choose the colours you want'.

Very unhappy with this, and even though I did get 2 nail polishes, I'm not happy with the colours as I already have similar colours and there isn't a big range in the MUA catalogue, and I was meant to receive LIMITED EDITION colours.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Pulsating

I bought this colour ages ago, but never got round to using it, and now that I have, I don't know why I never used it sooner! I love the colour! My phone camera picture doesn't do the colour justice though, it's really bright and has a purple shine to it which you can't see in the pic. I need to start using my digital camera to take photos!

The colour did need 2 coats though, I found that one coat was a bit wishy washy.

MUA: Free Nail Polish!

Superdrug and Coke have teamed up and from the 16th February, with every purchase of 2 500ml bottles of coke (£1.19 each) you will receive 2 limited edition MUA Nail polishes! These are worth £2 each!

Barry M: Grey

I love this colour! It's called 'Grey' (not very original) by Barry M.

I really like using the Barry M nail varnishes as all there are so many different colours to choose from and they are all so vibrant! I only ever need one coat for an all over good finish!
