Nails of the week - 14/10/2013

This week I decided to go for a rose goldish kind of colour, which so far I am loving! I feel it screams fall although is interchangeable into different seasons. The products I used were:
the 17 base coat I always use

 

Rimmel Salon Pro in '378 Posh Trash' - £4.49
I love the formula of these nail polishes and they give such a gel-like finish. I love them! Although I normally go for the Maybelline color show polishes because in my opinion, they Rimmel ones are on the higher scale on the highstreet nail polish scale. But still, amazing formula and beautiful colour!

Maybelline Color Show in '649 Clear Shine' - £2.99
This is my typical top coat now so I'm not going to bore you with another mini review. Its just an amazing top coat that gives a beautiful shine!

I then finished off by adding 3 gems to the top coat before it dried to add a little sparkle!

Review: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex Mascara

So, I was in Superdrug last week and they were having an offer on Rimmel that if you spend £10 or more on nail polish you get a free mascara. I easily spent the £10 on my nail polishes and collected my free Rimmel Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex mascara, so I thought I'd give you a review of a product I wouldn't normally think of buying.

The mascara can be a little clumpy and hold your lashes together so I use a eyebrow and lash comb from Costal Scents (BR-C-LC) to separate my lashes and give a more full effect. This mascara has a good staying power and does not flake to the touch. It also makes your lashes feel nice because of the lycra in it. Here are some pictures of how it applies, what it looks like and a picture of my lashes before and after I comb them out.

Review: Rimmel Space Dust

Rimmel Space Dust in '003 Aurora'

This is now by far one of my favourite nail polishes even though I've only had it a day! This is a perfect kind of rose gold colour that I adore! This is also great because it give great glitter coverage, only 2 coats are needed for a full glitter effect which is amazing because most glitter polishes only give little glitter coverage. The polish has a variety of sizes of glitter which also gives better coverage. All of the colours in this range are beautiful and I would highly recommend them!

 

When you apply the polish it feels a little like your painting them with a sand because of the fine glitter, but it still applies smoothly. The finished result feels slightly rough, but I'm sure with a few layers of a thickly applied top coat, that it should even out. I only applied a layer of my top coat and it still feels rough, but I got used to it very quickly.

 

This is definitely a product worth trying if you love the effect of glitter polishes (although trust me, it doesn't look too sparkly on your nails, I promise you!). Fab new product, much needed in the nail polish world!

 

You can find this nail polish for £3.99 at: Boots - link and Superdrug - link (free delivery until Oct 22nd!)
