NAILS: Instagram Nails

Hey guys and dolls,

I have a tendency to paint my nails on occasion. But I don't always post on my blog what I put on my instagram. So I thought I'd put up a collection of those unseen nail looks here.

Midweek Manicure: China Glaze

Hey guys and dolls,

I don't frequent Sally's often but when I do it's usually so I can get some OPI or China Glaze products.

 
They had 3 for 2 on China Glaze products and I couldn't help myself. You know what I'm like when there's a 3 for 2 deal on.

China Glaze: Ruby Pumps & Glitter Goblin

Hey dolls,

CHINA GLAZE

Disclaimer: On the day I decided to take my pictures the lighting was a pain in the butt (working when it felt like it). They didn't look this dark on my camera but luckily you can still see the products :) I'm trying new ways and settings to take my pictures, its a working progress but I'm getting there :)

These are my first ever China Glaze polishes I've ever bought (shock horror, I always used to use my sister's ones)

GLITTER GOBLIN

£4.29

The name of this polish is very fitting,, its like a glitter goblin sneezed into the bottle (I know that sounds gross but its the best I got haha).  This polish reminds me of a 70s disco. I can imagine the women all dressed up with a polish like this on their clothes, make up or outfit, all glittered up to the nines.

At first I wasn't sure about this polish but I've really grown to like it. To get it opaque and even it unfortunately needs 3-4 coats. The good thing is it doesn't feel all thick or goopy with all the layers.

RUBY PUMPS

£4.29

The first time I heard about this polish was in one of FleurDeForce's vlogs, and I fell in love with it mainly because it reminded me of The Wizard of Oz. Its not showing up in the pictures but this is such a glittery ruby red nail polish. And it doesn't have that annoying bitsy feel to it, you know where you can feel the actual glitter particles (like glitter goblin).

You need 2 coats to make it an even finish.

The best thing about these polishes they dry pretty quick. I will definitely be buying more China Glaze nail polishes in the future.

What are your favourite China Glaze nail polishes?

OPI The Amazing Spiderman mini collection + some essentials

Hey dolls,

The other week I went into Sally's when they had a NO VAT day. Those are the best day cos you can get so much for so little. I got quite a "few" items. So keep a look out for those blog posts coming up.

 Spiderman Mini Collection - £6.40

 L-R: Into the Night, Number One Nemesis, Just Spotted the Lizard!, Your Web or Mine?

Swatches:
(The writing under each name is the description on the box)

 Into the Night

This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.

 Number One Nemesis

Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.

 Just Spotted the Lizard!

Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green.

Your Web or Mine?

The perfect pink for sticky situations.

Each nail polish requires 2 coats to be nice and opaque. 

I wish I had bought the full size bottles of Into the night, Number one nemesis and Your web or mine cos I really like them. I'm not a fan of Just spotted the lizard. I might have to pop into Sally's and pick them up.

Essentials

I'm really into looking after my nails and wanted to try some new products. Here's what I picked up.

China Glaze Nail strengthener & Growth formula - £5.19
I've started using this as a base before my base coat. I have seen a slight improvement in my nails. I'm gonna keep using this for a while and see how I  get on.

OPI Top Coat and OPI Natural Nail Base Coat - £4.85 each

I've always wanted to try OPI top and base coats but never got round to purchasing them. As everyone knows you need a good base coat to stop staining and a good top coat to make your nail polish last longer. I think that these are gonna become fast favourites of mine.
