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.

Oh GOSH! :) (Review, photos, swatches)

Hello everyone! 

Today I nipped to Superdrug.. with no intention of buying anything.. but I couldn't resist.

This time it was a GOSH!

I think they have a few new products there, eye shadow quads, lipsticks, lip glosses, eyeliners etc.

I originally wanted their waterproof eyeliner in a different shade to what I've got, but after seeing couple of new products I could not hold myself from getting them too.. and they also had 3 for 2 offer on GOSH brand in Superdrug.. So here we are :D

Things that I got:

GOSH nail polish in 009 Bright Idea,  lipstick in 150 Kitten Pink & waterproof velvet touch eye liner in Metallic Brass

 

 First, Bright Idea nail polish from GOSH.

 All I have to say is - I'm so in love with this colour and formula. 

How gorgeous is this colour? I'm a huge fan of neutral nail polishes for every day wear. 

And this colour is brilliant, creamy nude, not to light like Essie, not a dark nude, not orange.. just pure perfection in my eyes anyway..

I thought I would compare it to other nude shades so you can get an idea of the colour :)

GOSH Bright Idea nail polish

 This nail polish is a limited edition apparently :( I feel like I need a back up of this.. 

The most amazing thing about this nail polish is that I needed only 2!!! coats to get an opaque colour!

Even with some more expensive brands you sometimes need more coats.. and especially nude colours tend to be very sheer.. 

I would definitely recommend this nail polish if you like nudes and you better get it now as it is a limited edition and once it's sold out it's gone :(

Now is the lipstick.

 I compared it to other pinks I've got as well.

 As you can see they all look pretty much the same.. warm bright pinks...

GOSH Kitten Pink is in the middle.

Ithink it is very close in colour to MAC Viva Glam Nicki but less neon and more wearable, and also more creamy. The pigmentation is wonderful. So I would say if you thought Nicki was too neon bright, or you want a cheaper alternative, GOSH Kitten Pink is the one. 

Looking at how many pink lipsticks I've got I think I've got to stop buying them lol 

 Out of them all, in terms of shade, I think my favourite is Nyx Fig, as it is the most wearable out of the all, which I can pull off to work, for instance, whereas the rest are well out of my comfort zone but still great :)

 And.. Finally..

GOSH waterproof velvet touch eye liners

The top one I've had for a while and have used a lot (It need sharpening, sorry for that)

These are great eye liners. They last a long time but there are longer lasting eyeliners.

But I still think they are great quality for a drugstore brand.

They are very soft and velvety, so easy to apply.

They look wonderful on waterline too, though you would have to reapply for an intense effect.

They are also great for smokey effect as it is so easy to blend these.

I would say these start to smudge after 8 hours of wear which I think is pretty good.

Metallic Brass shade is gorgeous. 

I can see how it will look wonderful with a smokey eye or on a waterline.

I quite like some products from this brand.

I really wanted some of their blushes for a while but they seem to be sold out all the time in my local Superdug.

I better check them somewhere else.

What do you think about GOSH brand? 

Are there products from this brand you really like and would recommend?

Would you like to try products from this brand?

Please share.

I'm curious to know your opinion xx

Thank you for reading.

I hope you found something useful.

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? 

Thank you for reading,

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.

MAC Viva Glam Nicki & No 7 Cheeky Chops

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?

Thank you for reading,
