Revlon Colorstay - Rain Forest

Hey! Can you believe it is already Wednesday, it's really depressing how quickly time is flying and how much closer I am to my first day at work in just under 3 weeks. Sigh!
Anyway I was in Cardiff on Monday and I came across a jam packed Revlon stand in Boots. They had the new Colorstay range which took me by surprise when I saw them as I didn't realise they were coming out over here.

Well lookie here!

I could have easily picked 10 polishes to add to my stash but Revlon polishes are a bit pricey for a drugstore brand in my opinion so I allowed myself one as I had a £2 off voucher. It was a difficult choice but I came away with a gorgeous forest green laced with glass-fleck like shimmer that shows some multi-chrome characteristics in the bottle. Unfortunately the shift is not really noticeable on the nail but if you look hard the green flecks do look aqua coloured at certain angles. Still this polish is stunning and if you're a green lover like me I think you'll agree!

Here is Rain Forest.

Can you see the shimmer at the bottom of the bottle

I'm glad my local Boots doesn't have a Revlon stand like this because if this is the quality we are dealing with then I'd be bankrupt. Thank you for reading! x

TGIF - Westfield and Matte Nails

Today I took a little trip to Westfield (SB) with Mr PD for some lunch and a spot of shopping. First off I visited the new Models Own bottle shop and picked up a few of the new Hed Kandi polishes which were sold out in my local Boots.

I love the bottle shaped stand and the sales advisers were lovely and friendly. 

I then went into Topshop (this store makes me feel old with its uber young and trendy customers) and these rings caught my eye.

I thought they'd be great for when I swatch the ChG OMG collection. Mr PD said he'd buy them for me if I wanted them but at £8.50 I said no and also the small size was still way too big for my fingers!

In TK maxx (not in Westfield) I found a bottle of Essie Matte About You for £3.99. I have a bottle of ELF matte polish but it's a bit rubbish which has put me off mattifying my nails in the past but I thought I'd give this a go because it's Essie (my first one) and the quality and finish was bound to be better right? So glad I did because my Glitter on a Blue Moon mani looks amazing matte. What do ya think?

Revlon - Facets of Fuchsia

Unless you have been hiding under a rock you'll no doubt have heard Facets of Fuchsia is the poor (wo)man's Bad Romance (Deborah Lippmann). I'm one of those poor women ;-) so I can't do a side by side comparison for you but from looking at pictures I can't really tell them apart? Who's going to know, I won't tell if you don't!

Here I have applied 2 coats and a coat of Seche Vite. I probably should have painted another coat because the black jelly in which the lovely purple/magenta glitter sits looks a bit patchy.

***Due to a lot of interest in this nail polish I have taken more pictures using my DSLR which represents the polish more realistically!

Another coat of Seche Vite perhaps?

Wearing this take me back to my goth days at college. I'll definitely be wearing this over the autumn and winter months!! Love it!

Thumb with no top coat, a little patchy and bumpy
At the moment Boots have £2 off Revlon polishes so if you fancy grabbing this beauty it'll set you back £4.29.
