NOTD - Make Up Revolution Boy Needs Girl

Boy Needs Girl

If you seen my last post on my Make Up Revolution haul then you will know that I picked up one of their £1 nail polishes. At £1 there were so many polishes I could have chose but I was restrained and chose a gorgeous pale baby pink called Boy Needs Girl. I have been wearing this all week and I received so many compliments about it and people asking where it is from. One thing I wasn't a massive fan of though was the formula of the polish. The polish went on a little streaky and it took 3 coats to get an nice even, opaque finish. It lasted well on my nails though, with only a few chips after a couple of days wear.

Overall I like this polish, I love the price, the compliments I got while I was wearing it and the colour! It is a great colour for summer and I think I will definitely be picking up some more colours from the range!

NOTD - Nails Inc London

This polish is from one of the collections that Nails Inc did with Coke a few years ago. The formula is amazing as with all Nails Inc polishes and you only need one coat to get an opaque finish. I love how long lasting these polishes are as well and wearing it makes me wish I owned more Nails Inc polishes. Maybe some investment is needed.
Any colours you would recommend??

NOTD - Barry M Kingsland Road

 

Kingsland Road is part of the Barry M Textured Nail Effects range and you can pick them up in Superdrug or Boots for only £3.99. 

Kingsland Road is a lovely summery pale pink and great now that the weather is getting that little bit nicer. It took 3 coats to get the effect that I wanted but you could probably get away with only 2. I was a little unsure of the way the polished look with the textured finish but after wearing it for a few days I grew to like it. It lasted well on my nails and I would probably buy a few of the other colours in the range as they are nice pastel shades!

NOTD - Essie Delicacy

Delicacy is the one and only polish I own from Essie but I have to say after wearing it I will definitely be purchasing some more! It is described as a sheer, shimmery soft pink but when I applied it, it looked slightly more white with a lilac shimmer to it than pink. I applied 3 coats to my nails and it was quite sheer but I think it still looked good. It applied really well and I really liked the formula.

I will definitely be getting some more colours, are there any you think I need in my collection??

NOTD - Barry M Prickly Pear

 

 Prickly pear is part of Barry M's Gelly collection and I am really glad I picked it up! It is a gorgeous pastel purple which is perfect for spring (whenever it finally decides to show up!).

I needed to use 2 coats to get it opaque and it lasted well on my nails. I love the finish that you get with this polish as well as I love shiny nails! 

Overall I really like this polish and I would definitely like some more from the collection!! 

NOTD - My First Attempts at Nail Stamping

I have always want to try out Konad and nail stamping but I have never had the extra money to splash out and buy the stuff that you need to do it. That is until I was in my local Poundland and spotted this nifty little kit for.... you guessed it £1! At that price it was too good a bargain to pass up!!

 

I decided to give it a go today and see how I got on and I have to say it was really easy to do. Well that is once I remembered to take the film off the plate (bit of a blonde moment!) I think I need a little bit more practice at it so I can get the design where I want it but for a first attempt I think they look not bad!

 

I used O.P.I's Pink Friday and No. 7 Hot Pink

NOTD - OPI Pedal Faster, Suzi

Pedal Faster, Suzi is from OPI's Holland collection and is a gorgeous pink with tiny specks of silver glitter through it. 

Before applying this I thought I would be there for a while as it seemed quite a thin consistency. I was pleasantly surprised though when it only took 2 coats to get it to look like this. It could probably have done with another coat but I applied this in a hurry as I was going out and I thought it looked fine like this. 

It was lovely having this on my nails as it made me feel nice and summery!

NOTD - Eyeko Nude and Chi Chi

I have worn these two polishes together before (HERE) but this time I thought I would do a different look with them.

The last time I applied the Nude polish it wasn't too big a deal that it was a little opaque as I was applying Chi Chi over the top of it so you wouldn't be able to notice it. This time though it was a nightmare to apply! It took about 5 coats to get it to look like this and you can still see through it slightly.

 I do really like these two polishes together but the opaqueness of the nude polish just puts me off using it again.

One good thing about these polishes though is that they haven't chipped at all, which is really rare for me!

Both of these polishes have now been discontinued by Eyeko but there are hundreds of similar polishes out there if you want to give this a go! 

NOTD - No7 Poolside Blue and OPI Last Friday Night

On my nails this week I have been wear No7's Poolside Blue and OPI's Last Friday Night (from the Katy Perry collection) on my ring finger.

Poolside Blue is so opaque, I only need one coat of the polish and it dries really quickly. Last Friday Night just gives it that little extra sparkle! 

NOTD - NYX Rainbow Sparkle

I thought I would put something a little bright on my nails to try cheer myself up seen as we're now well on the way to it being winter! 

As you can see the colour on my nails has come out slightly darker than the shade in the bottle and it's not very opaque. I think the next time I wear this shade I will put a white coat of polish on first and then apply rainbow sparkle. 

I love it though, it brightens up my day when I look down and see it!  

NOTD - Models Own Coral Reef

Yesterday I was having a little rummage through my nail polish collection and found a whole load of nail polished that have been a little unloved recently! 

So to rectify this I thought I would do some NOTDs for you all! 

I haven't done many NOTD posts recently so it will be good trying out all the old polishes that I have forgotten about.

So today I am sporting Models Own Coral Reef!

It's a gorgeous, summery redy/coral colour.

It is quite opaque and it dried really quickly which I love!! Think I will definitely need to try out some more models own colours!

What ones would you suggest??

NOTD - Eyeko Nude and Chi Chi Polish

Today's NOTD is courtesy of Eyeko!

This is 2 coats of their Nude Polish and then 2 coats of their Chi Chi polish. It did take quite a while to do but I think it looks great!

This is the first time I have tried Eyeko's polishes and they are not too bad! They apply really well but I felt it took about 5 minutes for each coat to fully dry.

This isn't going to put me off though as I really like them, I also have their Rain and Cosmic Polishes to try as well!

Gel Polish NOTD

Some of you might know that I have recently moved from Glasgow down to Kent. I moved about 4 months ago and I haven't had the chance to get back for a visit so seen as it was my Mum's birthday last weekend I thought it was the perfect excuse!

I had taken a set of fake nails with me to put on for going out but my Mum suggest that I try a gel manicure as she had gotten one a couple of weeks before and she loved it!

I decided to go for a hot pink polish with a glitter coat on top!

What you think.......

They have lasted not too bad. I took them off today and I was a little disappointed seen as they should have lasted another week. I think it was more to do with the woman that but them on, rather than the polish.

I would definitely try these again.

They would be excellent for going on holiday.

Have you tried them?

I'd Like Some Mint Choc Chip and a Little Parma Violet Please!! NOTD

What with all this good weather we've been having I thought I would have a wee look through my nail polish collection and find something fitting! 

This is what I came up with...... 

I love these colours and I think they go great together!

I have had the polish on for 24 hours now and there has been absolutely no tip wear at all.

I love 17 nail polishes, I think you get great colour pay off and the price is great!

NOTD - Nails Inc & Diet Coke Perfect Plum

Nails Inc & Diet Coke in Perfect Plum.

This polish has amazing coverage, this is 2 coats but I could have gotten away with only 1. It's also a little less red than it looks in this picture, it was really bad light when I took it. This is the only polish I've picked up from this promotion, still trying to decide wither or not to get any more.

Have you picked up any??

xx

NOTD - W7 Sheer Pink

I've had this polish sitting in my collection for ages and never tried it out, so glad I've finally given it a go cause it is a gorgeous baby pink! This is 4 coats but that's just cause I messed up the 3rd coat, you can get away with 3.

NOTD - Barry M Instant Nail Effects!

I know you've seen so many posts with this nail polish but it's just so amazing I had to show you my NOTD!

I used a gold polish that I picked up at poundland which for £1 is really really good! Then I obviously added the Barry M Instant Nail Effect polish on top. I think it looks great and I was complimented on my nails while I was at work by a customer.

Have you tried the instant nail effects?

NOTD - Collection 2000 + 17

I was in town the other day and got very excited when I went into Boots and the 17 stand finally had there matte top coat! I've been looking for it for ages but every time I was in they never had it so I'm so pleased I've finally managed to get my hands on it.

I decided to team it with Collection 2000's Hot Looks in Vogue which is a gorgeous blue colour.

And this is the results...........

Sorry for the rubbish picture!

NOTD - Nails Inc New York

This is one of the free Nails Inc. polishes that you got with Diet Coke. I realy like this colour, it's a bit of a change from all the pastel colours I have been wearing recently.

NOTD - W7 Silk

I really like this colour in the bottle but once I put it on I was a little unsure about it but it's growing on me. It's a peachy nude and I wasn't sure if it suited me. I've had it on for 4 days now though and I'm starting to like it. It's slightly darker in really life than it looks in the picture but it took 4 or 5 coats to get a decent colour pay off. It hasn't got one chip in it though which I am quite impressed with! I've got another 2 W7 polishes to try and I'm looking forward to trying them now seen as this one has lasted so well. Think I might be purchasing some more!!
