Hey Guys,
This is a long time coming, I have been doing a lot of shopping recently and have accumulated a fair amount of stuff, that I want to show you all. I did think about doing a video on youtube, but chickened out.
I'm going to begin with my first little splurge on nail products. Then the rest should be in another post as I seem to have gotten a large amount of nail things.
First of all from my work.
I kind of got a stash of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish strips. I have six of them in total as, I tried a set out and fell in love with them. So I pretty much got one of each kind that my work had.
I got 2 of the french Mani ones in Polka Party 006 and Silver Lining 002. Both of which are like normal french manicure but with a twist in the tips which are a bit different from the norm. Which I love.
I also got Animal Instinct 440(Pink zebra), Tweed-Le-Dee 550 (grey tartan), I Love Lacey 480 (red based with a lace over lay.) and Check Please 235 ( Black and White check). These cost be a mere £1 in Bargain Buys.
Another thing I got at Bargain Buys and another Sally Hansen product, that I seem to have just went gaga over. I bought 3 in one day without even trying them out. The Sally Hansen complete manicure Glitters. I think these were from the Christmas range as these have some very Christmas feeling names. I have 20 Fa-La-La-Lavender, 30 3,2, 1derland and 40 Midnight Glitz. These are all a clear base with loads of sparkle.
The last few things from my work is a nail rock glitter thing, that has a polish and a glitter to push into it. Lastly is a NYC glitter top coat in Gramercy Glitz. These also cost £1.
A random purchase from Boots is the Models Own Matte Topcoat, that cost £5. Another polish I bought from Boots is the Rimmel Salon Pro Kate collection polish in Punk Rock 711.
From Claire's Accessory I bought a few polishes. These all vary in price, but I got mine from the Claire's discount outlet in Livingston. I got Frost bite, a blue and white glitter strand top coat. School day, a black and white small glitter top coat, Shiver a light blue, white and silver nearly iridescent top coat. I also got Hundreds and Thousands, coral splatter effect and a white neon
green. These all range from £2.50-£3.50.
Lastly and just the other day, I was browsing in Next, when I came across their own brand nail polish and fell in love instantly. I got 3 glitters, as I seem to be becoming a major magpie. I got one of the " Bling Top Coat" in Golden ticket, which is a clear top coat and has flecks of different coloured gold, from rose gold and yellow golden. I also got a "Holographic Glitter" in Night Fever and a " Matte Glitter" in Pixelated Purple. These cost £3 each and look absolute gorgeous. I can not wait to test these out.
I will do proper reviews on these in the near future.
What polishes have you bought recently and any that I should try?
Until next time

Hey Guys,
Thought I would show you what I have on my nails today. I've went a bit mint/pastel green crazy over the past week or so.
So I have the Ps Love nail polish on in the mint green colour £1 from Primark, on top of that I have the matte effect top coat also £1 from Primark, I have done a pink glitter accent nail which is Birthday by Barry M for superdrugs 50th anniversary. Which is a beautiful pink based pink white and purple glitter. Then lastly I threw on some of NYC Disco Inferno top coat on my thumbs just to jazz up the matte effect on my nails.
I really like this look and one can not have enough glitter on my nails.
Bye Guys
Marion.
Hey Guys,
I was going to wait until I done a few themed weeks, one being all about the eyes. But I have decided that it just could not wait.
As a girl, I can be prone to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to glitter, so when I found out that Collection had a line of glitter eye liner I had to check them out. Although I do remember when they first came out a while back, they released only a few colours. Now they have a lot of colours, near enough 10 shades I think.
So whilst out a couple of days ago, I decided to pick one up, as I had watched a youtube video, where they are being duped for the Urban Decay heavy metal glitter liners.
As I have a few really old Urban Decay liners, I thought I would do a little review on both of them and I also found a 17, starry eyes glitter liner.
The Urban Decay, Heavy Metal liner £13-£14 get them here
I got these in a set of 3 quite a while back for Christmas, although I can only find 2 of them. I have Baked which is a bronze glitter and Stage Dive which is a lovely green colour. These dry quickly and I used to love putting these on top of a black eyeline to give a cat eye look extra ooomph. As these have a clear base to them, they can go on anything really. They do have a gorgeous range of colours, everything from pinks and purples to golds and silvers.
The Collection Glam Crystals are around £2.98-£2.99 buy here
There are around 10-12 shades in this line, I found that Asdas instore had a lot more shades than anywhere else. I have the shade Va va voom, which is a pink, green and it has a hint of gold and silver in a clear base. This looks amazing with a cat eye, this is by far my favourite shade. It dries quickly and stays put. The shades range again from pinks and purples to mixed colours and silvers, golds.
The 17 Starry Eyes, you get these from Boots.
I can't find a link to these, but I know I only got it last year, so they should still be instore. I got mine on an offer with my boots advantage card. This seems to have a dark base and a dark silver/gray glitter. I love this for when I want full on sparkle, I also love that I don't need to put on a normal eyeliner first.
These are only 3 of the many glitter eyeliners out there on the market. These are amazing to add just that extra bit of sparkle to any look. I would recommend the collection one, as they are so inexpensive and they do last a long time. So you should all go and try them, I'm not sure if they are anything like the Urban Decay ones, since my UD ones are a bit too old for me to say they are dupes or not.
Have you got any glitter liner favourites, leave a comment to let me know which ones.
Until next time
Marion
