Zoya Nail Polish | Review

Any nail polish addicts out there like me?

If you are one of those people, then this post will be perfect for you..

 

I am going to be telling you about a Zoya nail polish I have been loving recently..

For those who don't know what Zoya is, they are a nail polish brand which do an amazing range of nail polishes in beautiful shades and nail accessories.

Want to check out their website? Feel free to open this link - www.zoyapolish.co.uk

 

The shade I have been raving about lately is 'Payton', it is a stunning purple colour with lots of tiny bits of sparkle mixed it, perfect for all us women who love a bit of shimmer here and there.

 

 

 

This shade can be worn all year round, it works great for summer, as the shimmer will glisten in the sun, and the dark shade is ideal for winter for those more dull & darker days.

 

This nail polish took me about 5-10 minutes to apply, which is amazing for me as I normally end up having to do lots of layers before the colour is strong. This polish is super pigmented and the first layer applies so well, therefore you only need to do around 2 layers. I did apply a layer of topcoat, however, this polish dries soooooo shiny that you could probably get away with not applying a topcoat at all.

 

I love the shape of the bottle, the rounded top is modern and funky. The bottle is so much comfier to hold, as there's no sharp edges.

 

The only down side to this polish personally, is the brush, its to long for me and a little on the thin side. I like short & wide nail polish brushes, however it did work well for the more longer nails. This is something I can get over, and defiantly wont put me off using this polish time & time again.

 

These polishes value at £10.50 from the UK website (prices may vary), which I think is a bargain, there is so much product in such a tiny bottle and the quality is insane.

 

Thank you for reading, I hope you will consider this amazing brand.

 

 

 



Models Own | Polish for tans

Happy Easter everyone! Today I have a swatch post for you all about the new models own nail polish collection called Polish For Tans and it pretty much says in the collection name what the polishes are for but I will explain anyway, the vibrant shades of polish are suppose to enhance your tan and make it stand out and it does just as it says! 

So here is my swatch picture:

                   

Green: Flip Flop

Yellow: Bikini

Coral orange: Beach Bag

Neon pink: Shades

Barbie pink: Sun Hat

Hands down these are the best nail polishes I have tried by far, the colours are just beautiful and still look good without a tan. I love the names of each shade as they all relate to summer which is the season I would mostly wear these colours. These polishes are only £5 each and are so worth the money (although I won them). Another thing I love about models own nail polish is that the polish bottles are bigger than most bottles I own therefore your really getting your money's worth and they will last you a long time if you use them wisely.

Here is a link to the models own website where you can find and purchase these polishes, they also have some more beautiful colours and patterns, I especially love the speckled egg collection which I am so eager to try: https://www.modelsownit.com

O.P.I Royals Collection Review

 

Hi girlies, Today I have an O.P.I nail polish review for you all. So when baby George was/Prince George was born there was a competition on twitter with Marie Claire magazine. There were sets of the O.P.I Royal collection nail polishes to give away, to enter you had to guess what the name of Kate and Wills baby would be before they announced it and thanks to my mums lucky guess I was one of the winners! I won these last year so I've had them a while but I love every one of them there such good quality, the only thing I hate about O.P.I is that the nail brush is so wide and its hard to paint your nails without going the polish going onto your skin. Anyways enough of that let me tell you what the names are incase you want to check them out as im pretty sure you can buy them seperatly.

 

The first nail polish (silver) is called BIRTHDAY BABE, I dont think this set is an official set, I feel they have just got the royal colours and put them together which I dont mind. I love this colour, its nothing special but its a colour that will go with pretty much anything.

 

The second nail polish (gold) is called GLITZERLAND which is a really glittery polish and you only need up to two coats if not just one.

 

The third nail polish (white) is called ALPINE SNOW. This is my favorite colour out of the set, the down side to this colour is that for me I have to do atleast three layers to get an even colour.

 

The forth nail polish (red) is called GOT THE BLUES FOR RED, this colour is so dark but in a good way, its a very nice red which is nothing like any other red polish I own. Its such a good polish if you wanted to spend a bit of money on a decent polish that will last and be of a good quality.

 

The last nail polish (blue) is called DATING A ROYAL. Its a very dark blue but so pretty, Its not my favorite colour as I dont tend to wear blue polish a lot but im getting use to it. Ive not used this one much but it is a really good quality polish for if you like blue.

 

I love all O.P.I nail polishes and I can't wait to try more out, im thankful that the people of Marie Claire gave me the chance to try these colours out and the brand for the first time. Im very impressed with the quality of them and the bottles are pretty big so you will get your moneys worth out of them.

Ide deffiantly recommend this brand to anyone!

 

Comment below what your opinions are on O.P.I and if you own any shades....

Models Own | Lip Stix

Hey there!
          This morning I went to do the last big of christmas sale shopping. I had a £10 Boots gift card from christmas and I spent it today on a product ive been waiting to try for so long. And TA-DAAAA, I took this opportunity to buy not one but two of the Models Own Lip Stix which are basically chunky lip crayons, they cost £5 each which is a reasonable price.
 Here are some pics of the shades I chose and bought.

 

 I chose these shades as I don't tend to buy many pink lipsticks so I thought ide start off my collection of pink's now. Beauty Blush is such a pretty, barbie like pink and to me it would suit any skin tone. BUT I am such a big fan of purple lip products hence the reason why I bought this lovely lilac shade called Purple Pleasure, It applies a lot lighter than it looks, its almost a pink colour, infact in the picture below it looks very pink. I normally go for dark purples if I am choosing a lip product but im sure I can find ways to make it work!

 

I am obsessed with the texture of these stix, they are so smooth and mositurising, I have used a lot of lipsticks that have been very dry on my lips but these do the complete opposite. I normally apply a base before putting lipstick on such as a lip primer or vasaline to make the surface of my lips smoother for applying lipstick but I didn't have to do it with these.

I would deffinatly by more and may even try to get the whole collection as they are super cheap compared to other cosmetic brands.

 

Top swatch: Purple Pleasure

Bottom Swatch: Beauty Blush

when swatched these lipstix look very pigmented.

In Boots at the moment when you buy two or more products from the brand Models Own you get a FREE glitter kit worth £10!!! This made me very happy as I now have the chance to try out Models Own's nail polish which Ive hear a lot of positive things about.

 

Comment below if you have tried any other Models Own products that you would or even wouldn't recommend as I will be sure to shop with them again.
