Butter London Disco Biscuit

Hi Everyone!

 

I haven't tried many of the nail polishes from Butter London before, I own Muggins and Teddy Girl and like them both but have always felt that they are a little over priced! Anyway, I decided to give Disco Biscuit a try as I love the name and how it looks in the bottle! Disco Biscuit is described as a 'Hot pink glitter' polish.

 

I began by applying 2 coats of OPI Matte Nail Envy as my base followed by 2 coats of Disco Biscuit. This polish has a jelly-like finish and is, therefore, a little on the sheer side. On a plus point it does dry quite quickly. I finished off by adding a layer of Seche Vite Top Coat.

 

 

 

This polish is really pretty and lasted well. It reminded me a little bit of OPI's Flashbulb Fuchsia.

You can purchase this polish from Butter London for £12

Essie Fiji

 

 

Hi everyone!

 

First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of posts recently! I have now finished my studies so can devote much more time and attention to my blog again!

 

Essie Fiji

 

Today I applied one of my favourite nail polishes, Essie Fiji which is a gorgeous strawberry milkshake colour. It's fairly easy to apply but is quite thick and can be a little patchy. The polish is fully opaque after two coats which is great. I love this kind of pinky-white colour as it is a great 'go-to' polish and perfect for spring/ summer. It is fairly similar to OPI Mod About You and Butter London Teddy Girl, both of which I own, in my opinion Fiji is the best of the three due to opacity and durability on the nail!

 

Zoya Trixie & OPI Disco Ball Sparkle

 

I also used two coats of Zoya Trixie with OPI Disco Ball Sparkle to create a sparkly, silver accent nail, and finished off with a layer of my favourite top coat, Seche Vite!

OPI The Spy Who Loved Me - Review & Swatches

Hi Everyone!

 

First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of posts over the recent months. I have been really busy starting back at university after a fairly long break so haven't had much time to spend on my blog. I'm hoping that now I am settled that will all change!

 

Anyway on to the nail polish! Today I painted my nails with one of OPI's new polishes from the James Bond Skyfall Collection. I choose 'The Spy Who Loved Me' which is described as a 'romantic red with sparkle'.

 

I began by applying 2 coats of OPI Matte Nail Envy as my base followed by 2 coats of The Spy Who Loved Me. The polish applied smoothly and evenly and was more or less opaque after the first coat which surprised me a little as you don't always expect that after just one coat! I finished off with a layer of Seche Vite Top Coat.

 

 

This polish is really bright and eye catching and is a nice change from the usual darker shades that you tend to see at this time of year!

 

Let me know if you recommend any of the other polishes from the collection! I can't wait to see the movie!

 

You can purchase this polish from Look Fantastic for £11

Orly Rage Nail Polish - Review & Swatch

Hi Everyone!

I decided to apply a metallic shade to my nails today and went for Orly's Rage nail polish which is a beautiful rose - gold colour with a slight silver flash to it.

I began by applying a coat of Seche Base followed by 2 coats of Orly Rage. The polish is more or less opaque after the first coat but I found that it was a bit patchy when dry in places, this was, however, corrected with the second coat. I finished off with a layer of Seche Vite Top Coat.

 

 

I love this polish! It's great any time of the year and the metallic shade is bang on trend right now!

I purchased the mini size (5.4ml) bottle of this polish from Effortless Nails for £3.95
