NOTD - Vintage Bling

I cannot seem to get enough of LOOK Beauty Nail Pop polishes and with £2 off at the moment (plus my NUS discount) I've been slowly buying them up one by one. At £2.70 a polish I can't really say no to what I have come to discover is a high-quality, hard-wearing and long-lasting brand. Should I scoop more up before my no-buy kicks in?

Vintage is a creamy turquoise that resembles Color Club's New Bohemian but has a much better formula. Only 2 coats required for that perfect glossy finish whilst its counterpart requires 3. In terms of a drugstore dupe of Essie's Mint Candy Apple this is pretty close too, it's just a little more blue but I don't think anyone will notice!

Along with Vintage I also picked up Bling, a rose gold pink (is that how you would describe it?) glitter. Containing fine and larger hex pieces I have a feeling it's similar to the newly released Barry M Pink Silver Glitter. Here I have used it over Vintage to create some glittery tips!

Have a great weekend! x

Nail Pop Juice

Hey ladies, today I want to share with you a gorgeous polish from Look Beauty.
This is the gorgeous Juice from their Nail Pop range. It is a coral that leans towards pink. I'm not huge pink fan but I prefer pink corals to orange corals as they're so much more versatile and compliment my skin tone. I have a few Nail Pop polishes and I love every single one, they apply beautifully and last several days with minimal wear and chipping. This particularly polish is not 100% opaque as after two coats you can still see my nail line but this does not bother me because it's so hot.

Nail Pop is available from some Superdrug stores or from here. Priced at £5 each they're in the upper price bracket of drug store brands, however, there is currently £2 off, so go grab some you won't be disappointed.

Nail Pop Kimono vs. Chanel Peridot

Less words more Pics. Enjoy

Chanel Peridot - Index and Ring finger. Nail Pop Kimono - Middle and Little finger

All the above photos were shot in the usual manner, in my light box under a daylight bulb. The following photos were shot in natural and direct sunlight light

I don't think I need to tell you there is a difference between to the two because from the pictures it is fairly obvious. Hope this was helpful!

Nail Pop - Kimono (Peridot-esque)

Brrrr it's so cold here in the UK I can barely feel my fingers as I type so this is going to be short and sweet! Today I want to share with you Nail Pop Kimono which I picked up with Pearl Effect ( blue flakie) a couple of weeks ago. It is said to be a great high street alternative to Chanel Peridot but with a much stronger green tone. The formula is spot on requiring only two coats and with hardly noticeable brush marks. Wear wise this is fantastic. I expected it to chip quite easily but I was impressed that even after washing dishes with no Marigolds there was hardly any wear!

Now on to the pics...

(Available from Selected Superdrug Stores - £5)

Divine! 

Peridot was generously given to me for my birthday so I can do a comparison if anyone wants one. 

Bye for now.

Nail Pop popping!

Happy Monday!

I've seen these Nail Pop polishes by LOOK Beauty on other UK nail blogs and have been wanting to try them since their release however I pretty much gave up hope of finding them after visiting several larger Superdrugs in London to no avail. I know they have them in Westfield Stratford but I refuse to go there again! So you can imagine my surprise when I saw them in the pokey store in Marble Arch! I picked up Kimono which is said to be very similar to Chanel's Peridot and Pearl Effect a lovely blue/purple flakie which I want to show you today.

OPI Siberian Nights and LOOK Beauty - Nail Pop Pearl Effect

The flakes shift from blue to purple but you do need to be in the right lighting conditions to witness this.  

I love it. I love it because it's very subtle.

The formula is so so. It dries quite slowly and you do need about 2-3 coats to get a decent coverage and to minimise bald spots. I still love it though.

That's all for now! xx
