Barry M | Black Multi Glitter Nail Polish

I was overly excited when I spotted this at the Barry M stall in Superdrug. I was heading towards a mint green colour but I think I made a good decision. I've not worn a black nail polish since I was going through my "emo" phase in secondary school. Since this has multi coloured glitter I thought it would be more glamour than goth.

I applied it as I was sunbathing and that was a bad decision, somehow the pure sunlight made the polish somewhat gloopy and didn't apply well. 

I'm going to re-apply again at some point, maybe with a few colours painted a pastel colour since I'm loving the pastels! Check out my other blog post on pastel nail polishes :)

Anyway, it turned out thick and bubbly and I tried ever so hard to apply using multiple thin layers. I always find that works best. 

I'm not going to insert a picture of my nails as they turned out so badly but here's a pretty picture of the bottle. It can be purchased from most Boots and Superdrug stores at £2.99 each. Superdrug have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment so I may have to stock up!

My first MUA products.

I've seen a lot of MUA products floating around YouTube so I decided to check it out as they seem rather spiffing and oh so affordable.

I've only bought two items and I can honestly say they are unbelievably good quality for the cheap price!

First product that arrived was the eyeshadow palette called Heaven & Earth. I've been looking for a brown/natural palette for a while and didn't want to spend nearly £40 on the Urban Decay Naked. 

The pigmentation is really good and is very buildable. There's also a colour in it that I've been using for my brows so it's multi-purpose. At £4 you can't really argue!

The second product was a first for me, a BB cream. As I've never used one before I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I figured it would just be like a foundation but lighter coverage. I was wrong, this BB cream is very much like a foundation but it conceals and makes my skin look smooth. I didn't have a need to use my concealer at all. Such a lazy product and I love it! I'm still in love with my Rimmel Wake me up foundation so I shall probably just switch between the two. Also at £4, this BB cream is fantastic value for money.

Both can be bought here and also in Superdrug if you can't bear to wait for delivery.

Pretty In Pastel ♥

I've been loving pastel nails recently. Especially the blues and pinks. 

Even though the weather has been shoddy I still think you should release your inner Summer you.

I've been particularly liking the random colours, i.e. painting your nails all blue except one or two pink. I've done this in the picture below and I love it! 

Excuse the poor attempt at painting my nails, I'm no expert.

The blue is by China Glaze in colour 1030 Kinetic Candy and the pink is by Barry M in the colour 309 Strawberry.
