MUA nail polish review


Nail polish is the one beauty item i have too much off so it only seemed right to get more.  MUA nail polish is only £1 so i couldn't have expected a lot and that's where you are right.

I have the shade frozen yoghurt which is a pretty purple similar to OPI's A Grape Fit! but unlike OPI i found it to just apply really badly streaking on every coat.

  On the plus side drying time was amazing it honestly took 1 minute to dry completely in-between coats.

My brush was frayed as well so i was disappointed. For £1 i am complaining a lot, aren't i?
Another problem i found with the MUA nail polish is that although it is nice square packaging it doesn't close right as you'll see in the picture (not important but it annoyed me a lot).

Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stains

I have had these for a while now and I can safely say that i honestly adore these.  They are really pigmented and last for around 6 hours on my lips. It is not the cheapest at £7.99 but they have lasted for ages and i haven't had to wound it up again.  I wear Lovesick most days and i tend to only wear crush at the evening as it is so intense.

Lovesick is a vibrant hot pink which really brightens your face and crush is more berry toned and gives you the vampy vixen look which was THE trend for A/W 2012

Compared to clinques chubby sticks (i knew you were silently comparing them in your head) i think that these are an absolute steal.

Vintage nail art tutorial

Hi everyone so a couple of days ago i got some dotting tools from amazon and so i had decided to do a bit of nail art.  Granted it isn't the best but for my first ever go , i think it is quite swish.



For my background colour i used rimmel peppermint
For the base of my floers i used revlon classy
For the detail of the flowers i used rimmel cranberry zest
For the leaves i used a nail polish which i made myself using graffiti eyeshadow from urban decay. ( if you want a tutorial let me know in the comments below.)



I even made a little visual aid for this tutorial ( i have a new found respect for graphic designers everywhere)

1. Paint your nails a mint green base colour
2. Paint some pink blobs (they don't need to be perfect) using a dotting tool
3. Paint the outline red with a swirl leading into the pink
3. Paint green lines on either side of the flower for leaves

Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial

What nail art have you been wearing?
