And so it's here - 2015! Such a futuristic date when you think about it .
Well I might be a few days late to the game but as they say - better late than never. So I'm going to have a few posts up rounding up my top TOP beauty favourites. Just a few products, otherwise we'd be here for ever.
This first post in the series is a little tribute to a few nail polishes.
Let's go!
In no particular order, first up is BARRY M.
Three very different polishes, loved for different reasons.
First up is the beautiful Silk nail paint in colour P E A R L 4 1 1. I really wanted white nails that would look quite subtle - and this one fit the bill perfectly. Just like stated it's silky with a lovely sheen to it adding that something to your nail. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the drying time. You think it's dry, it looks dry, it f e e l s dry, but it may not necessarily BE dry. But as long as you take your time you should be fine.
Next up is the gorgeous Gelly Hi Shine in B L U E B E R R Y 4 1 0. This one I saw on Zoella's nails over a year ago now, in one of her summer videos. And I just fell in love with the colour. The fact that it stays shiny even when dry is just a bonus really because the colour in itself is just transcendent [ big word but had to be used ]. I couldn't find it for ages but once I did I didn't use anything for weeks on my nails.. Until my third Barry M favourite, C Y A N B L U E 3 3 5. This one was a bit of a surprise really. I thought it looked nice in the shop but when I tried it on in a different light I wasn't too sure about it. It's not the sort of colour I usually go for. It's very vivid and radiant, and as it goes to blue hues [ my favourite colour] it's not as cool as blue usually is. Long story short, I had to give myself a day or so to get used to it, but am I glad I did! I think it's quite a statement colour. And it also stays rather glossy, and to make it sound practically perfect - it doesn't chip for AGES. Definitely one to try if you haven't already.
Okay so that's there, now time to round it off with my last two nail choices.
It's time for REVLON. Brand I came to love in 2014.
5 7 0 V I X E N is a colour I could not live without past year. It was the one I would reach for when feeling melancholy and down in the dumps - which was often due to lack of sun in England haha. It's so rich it made me feel royal each time I had it on. Those sort of burgundy, rich reds were very in Autumn/Winter 14, and I really get it. It is quite a festive colour but I think it's also very versatile. Let me explain: it makes any dull outfit look chic, completes any glamorous look, and just altogether makes you MORE YOU [note the hint of humour] One downside - chips quite easily without the base coat. Which brings me to the final product of today - 9 6 5 M U L T I C A R E b a s e + t o p c o a t. Now, I was never too bing on top coats, and not always used a base coat either - purely because of laziness. However once I started I couldn't stop haha. It prolongs your nail polish life to put things straight. You can do all sorts - housework to artwork, this bad boy won't let anything chip [for up to a week for me] There's not much else to say on the subject. Just give me a shout if you try any of afore mentioned products and let me know what you think!
Enjoy the first days of 2015! Until the next post!
