Claire's Accessories Scatter Nail Polish Review

Hey Guys, 

Another nail polish review for you all. I do promise I have other things to review, but this is just a wee quicky as a fellow blogger has let me borrow some of the other colours to show you of this particular brand of nail polish. When you think of Claire's Accessories you don't always think of nails and beauty things. But this polish is definitely a winner. You can buy them here

The Lowdown.
These polishes you can only get from either in store or on the Claire's Accessories, they are currently on sale for £1 and there are plenty more colours. Than the 4 I have here swatched for you. The polish has a mixture of white and black glitter, strands and large particles within the base colour. I have pink splatter, blue splatter, green splatter and orange splatter, they are all swatched on a milky coloured nail polish base, except the pinky, which has the pink on its own.

The good.
Great variations with glitter chunks. 
Good selection of colours available. 
Cheap
Last a long time with a top coat

The Bad
The base colour does not come out as pigmented as you would have thought. 
It only being available in Claire's, it would be good if it was available in more stores. 

Summary.
I love these polishes, so much so that I have just put an order in to Claire's Accessories, online store. Although I do wear a white nail polish underneath them, but it is totally worth it as they are gorgeous. I am in love with the orange one and the pink one. As they go nearly neon. 


Have you tried these? What do you think of these? Is the splatter effect for nails a trend? Let me know in the comments.

Barry M Aquarium review.

Hey girls,

Another nail post this week. Sorry about all of these nails posts, but I have a cold sore, so cant really show you good pictures of lipsticks and new lip products I have recently got. Which is a bummer to me, as I am a complete lip maniac.

Back on to this post. Barry M have been on form recently with their new nail products. I recently have bought a load of new nail stuff from Barry M. I can't seem to stop buying new colours and types of finish. So keep a look out for posts on them.

Aquarium, is a collect full of duochrome nail paints, there is also 2 glitter top coats. I recently seen them in my local Superdrug and seen they had a deal on them. Buy 2 polishes for £6, which I snapped up, otherwise they are normally £3.99 each. 

I got Mermaid which is a blue, green and gold chunky glitter in a clear base, this will make a gorgeous top coat for dark coloured nail varnish and I can not wait to test it out. I also got Pacific, which is a green, blue oil slick colour, it is gorgeous. Its more like a teal in the bottle, but in different lights it is different colours. It kept me amused for a while at work. Its a beautiful polish. Although the swatch is not doing it justice. So I will take a picture next time it is on my nails. 

These last a long time and managed to go unscathed whilst I was on the tills at work. I love these and might indulge my lust for them and buy the rest of them.

TK Maxx Beauty Bits. Blog Haul #3

Hey girls 

Just a quick post on the few wee bits I bought in TK Maxx and tell you about the bargains they have in the small beauty bit they have. To me money off of anything is a bargain. But I managed to get a few things that really have wowed me. 

I got 2 Butter London nail polishes. I got a gorgeous Rose Gold colour called Champers. It is a very stunning colour, it has very fine glitter particals through the polish. This normally goes for around £14 and I got this for £4.99.... Bargain. I also bought my friend a red one which is just a classic red, which everyone needs in their collection, this is called Saucy Jack, which again was £4.99

I also picked up a pack of 2 Orly nail polish, I had never tried this brand, but has heard a lot about them, from Zoe, from Mamafulzo on Youtube.I got a navy blue, called In the Navy, its a beaut. I also got Cut the Cake, which is a silver sparkle polish, I think you would need a few coats of this to show up, but I can not wait to try. These cost me, just £4. Which is an absolute bargain. 


I also picked up a Good Things Stay Clear purifying Cleanser, this I have been eyeing up in Boots and Superdrug, but had just not been able to justify paying £5, when I have a Soap and Glory one in use at the mo, but when I seen it for £2.99 in TK Maxx, I knew it was meant to be, corny I know. But oh well. 

All in all I spent £16.97 and the normal retail price would have been around £50. I saved myself a ton of money and got my friend a wee gift. 


Where do you girls go bargain hunting and have you found any worth sharing? 

Nail Paint by Barry M

Hey girls,

Sorry, I've not been able to blog a lot recently, but I have just started a new job. But I may do a updated life post.

On with this post.

Recently I have been buying an awful lot of nail polish and lipsticks but this post is dedicated to some of my newer Barry M nail paints.

I have bought some of the new pastel shades of the Gelly Hi shine nail paints. I had seen the advert for these in my local Tescos and knew I just had to have some of them. Luckily for me, they had a offer on them. I bought 2 nail paints for £6. I got the gorgeous pastel mint green colour, called sugar apple. I also picked up the pastel blue shade named Huckleberry. I love these a lot so may have to get the other pastel colours they have.


These are the perfect spring colours, which I will be wearing all spring long.



A while ago I bought some glitters from Barry M, just before Christmas. I left them at a friends house and recently got them back. I think these were in a glitter polish collection called Jewel glitters ( Don't quote me though). I'm sure I got these on offer as well at Superdrug, I'm all about my offers. I got amethyst jewel, which is a multi colour glitter that looks gorgeous on and looks brilliant as a accent nail, as does the other one Ruby glitter, which is a black and chunky magenta glitter polish that looks amazing on top of polish. 







Have you tried any of these and what were your thoughts? Let me know in the comments.

Barry M Silk Nail Paints

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Since I have not heard much about these new released nail polishes from Barry M. I thought I might as well do a quick post on them. 

I bought mine from my local Tesco store but these will be released in Boots and Superdrug too. It cost me £3.99 and I got the shade Meadow, which is nice pastel green colour. 

This is what Barry M says about this collection on nail paint. 
'Silk's beautiful matte sheen gives nails a luxurious chic finish. In a collection of pretty pastel shades inspired by nature, its the perfect polish for a fresh take on spring.'
In the collection there is 6 pastel shades, from green, blue, pink and purple to 2 nudes. As Barry M says, these will be perfect for the up and coming spring and summer seasons. 
The Colour I have is Meadows and its a pretty pastel green, with a pearl sheen to it. It is not my usual nail colour, as I am all over the dark and matte shades just now, but I think I might get a lot of wear out of it when the right season comes. 

I will post a swatch picture of it once, I get it on my nails. 

Bye guys.

Festive Glossybox: December Edition

So its this time a month, when people either hate or love their glossybox. 

For the past few months, I've not blogged about mine as I wasn't too pleased about the things I had received in the boxes. I also wanted my blog to be a happy place where I don't slate things, so I thought for the best I just wouldn't blog about them.
But this month, it has changed not only was the box a festive shade of silver, the products are actually good enough to want to write about it.

Bejewelled Christmas Glossybox Included:

Inspiration By Seche

Seche Nail Lacquer
Glossybox say:Highly pigmented colour for one coat coverage, satin smooth application dries quickly. Available in 33 fashion forward shades. 
The colour I got is 'Inspiration' its a pinky coral colour. Which to me looks kinda cheap on my nails. But it could look amazing on darker coloured skin or on tanned skins. Its a full sized bottle we got in this months Glossybox, 14ml and it cost £9.95, from the overall feel from other people who got the box, there is a few colours floating around as a friend of mine got a slate grey colour, which I would have preferred. 





                                           Rituals- Magic Touch

Glossybox says: We are proud to feature a Rituals bestseller: Magic Touch, an ultra-rich whipped body cream that intensively nourishesand firms th skin. Combining rice milk, antioxidants, the indulgent fragrance of cherry blossom and velvety smooth texture. Price 200ml-£15. The 70ml sample we got is worth £5. 
I'm not a huge fan of body butters, as they leave my skin feeling sticky which Im not a fan of. But I will most definitely be trying this one out, as I love the smell of Cherry Blossom. 









Lemon by Mary Greenwell Eau de Parfum
Glossybox says- What we love most about LEMON is that unlike most citrus fragrances, the fresh citrus notes last on the skin. Price of this varies the full size is 100ml and costs £90, 50ml- £60, Purse spray- £30.
This does smell nice and fruity, but I don't think Id buy it just because of the price. Im sure there are probably similar ones out there for less.

Sebamed Anti-Dry Night Intensive Cream
Glossybox says- All products in the Sebamed range are pH neutral and contain high-quality active ingredients, which cleanse and nourish the skin without attacking the skins natural protective mantle. Sebamed protects the skin, calms flare-ups and restores equilibrium for improved elasticity- the perfect companion for these cold winter months. Full size is 50ml £9.99
I love, love, love this product. I tried this the first night I received the box. I woke up with the softest feeling skin in the world. I'm most definitely going to buy the day cream and the night cream. I would recommend this to anyone, who suffers from dry skin.





Sleek MakeUp True Colour Lipstick

Amped True Colour Lipstick

Glossybox says- With shades that brighten and flatter your skin tone (essential during the winter months when complexions can be dull) and vitamin E enriched formulas, Sleek MakeUps true colour lipstick range is a party season essential. Full size: 3.5g-£4.99
I freaking love this product. I have been pondering for a while now weather to try some of the sleek lip products, as they are more known for the eyeshadow palletes. The colour was AMPED, which is a matte finish blue toned bright pink. Think Nicki Minaj style pink. But I do love it and may get some more. 









Also this month, we got a free bonus gift of an own brand glossybox blusher.
Glossybox Blusher in Glossy Pink
Glossybox says- A colour intensive powder blush, velvety feeling with long-lasting colour that flatters all skintones. I must admit I got a bit excited about it, as I am always on the hunt for the next best thing in blusher land. 

I must admit this has been my favourite glossybox in a while, but its even better when I got to pay for this using my glossydots. 

Anyway guys thats all for this post, I shall see yall in the next one.
