Thank you for looking,

NOTD: Croc nail effect

Hello sweet readers,


I've been trying out Barry M Corc Effect nail paint for the last few days and I'm so in love with it.
I don't normally go for dark nails but this is just perfect.
I really like this crocodile skin effect nails.
I've worn this for a few days and it stayed well trough out my work shift, which is so rare, most nail polishes don't survive longer than couple of hours.
The only thing, you need to give enough time for it to dry and I would recommend using a top coat as well.




I used George Molten Metals in Chalice as a base, Barry M Croc effect nail paint & No 7 stay perfect top coat.

What do you think about this affect?

NOTD: George nail polish from Asda

Hello lovelies :)

I recently got couple of George nail polishes from Asda and am happily wearing one of them today.
The seem to be good value for the price, there is a choice of shades and bottles are not too big.
This is the first time I wear it so I'm not sure how good it's going to wear, but sure I will do a review on these nail polishes.

NOTD: Glittery grey

Hello lovely readers :)

Today's post is about another manicure of the day :)
This time I've added glitter again. Again I thought it would be prettier with it.
I found grey nail polish in the house that I pretty much never used because on it's own it seems dull and boring and by adding glitter to it, it looks more interesting and quite nice actually, considering I'm not always a fan of glitter :)
I hope you like it too..))




For this manicure I used some budget nail polishes from NYC and Beauty UK.
I don't think Beauty UK nail polishes come in this size anymore, I had this grey nail polish from them for a while but never really used it as it seemed boring and dull. I've also seen many similar to NYC nail polishes with silver and chunky blue glitter in drugstore. I especially like the combination of small silver and chunky blue glitter in this nail polish :)

The last picture is just lovely roses given to me from my other half :) Aren't they gorgeous?

NOTD Essie Marshmallow & China Glaze Snow Globe

Hello lovelies!

I actually received Essie Marshmallow nail polish through the post today and decided to try it out :)
Marshmallow ended up being lighter than I thought.
 It's more of a cream white, great for french manicure.

I took me 4 coats to get an opaque colour.
To the tips I applied China Glaze Snow Globe.
I just thought it looks quite nice.



Products I used:

China Glaze Snow Globe, Essie Marshmallow, Barbara Daly clear polish
We shall see how long Essie will last and how will it wear and I will do a review on it. 
I really like China Glaze glitter nail polish. I'm thinking of purchasing some more.

Thank you for reading.
I hope you all are having a great day.

No 7 Cheeky Chops nail polish & matching lipstick

Hello everyone,

Boots are currently doing £5 off vouchers on No 7 range and I decided to try their nail polishes as it seemed a good value paying £2 instead of £7.

I like pink lips & nail so I went for Cheeky Chops which is a bright warm pink coral nail polish. The colour is beautiful and I think it changes in different lighting leaning either more pink or coral.

I think this is a great shade for summer and I really like it.

Before I purchase a nail polish I usually run around the store compering it to other shades, and from what I've seen, I found No 7 shades quit unique compare to other drugstore brands.

I also found this shade is quite similar to MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick which I'm so happy about.

The quality of the No 7 nail polish was good. I really enjoyed the application process as the application brush in this nail polish is wide and rounded at the end. It was very comfortable to apply, I'm impressed. It dries fairly quick, but not the quickest. 

I applied 3 coats to achieve an opaque colour.

Now, the lasting power is great for me, just because most nail polishes don't last more than a day, so something lasting more than a day is a wow for me :) No 7 nail polishes survive a day at my work without chipping which is so impressive, because not many nail polishes do.

Overall I really like the quality and the colour of No 7 Cheeky Chops nail polish. 
I think it's just a bargain for £2 if you can get hold of a voucher.
Honestly, I think I'm even willing to pay a full price if I really like the shade :)

Have you tried No 7 nail polishes?
