Nails Of The Week!

Hello my lovelies!

Not the most exciting colour this week but still gorgeous.

This is Miss Sporty's Electric Beige.

I've filed my nails down! They're still long(ish) but so much shorter than they were. I've done this because they were catching on things and it flippin' hurt!

Few Small Purchases

A few presents for some upcoming birthdays :)

Clinton Cards:

I love Blue Nose Friends, their adorable! Snail teddy £5, Keychain £2.50, Elephant charm £1.99 and the card was £1.50

Close ups, dorrrr the snail! I want to collect them all hehe

These are a few little extra presents for some friends. Skittles and Starburst from Tesco. Mini magnetic letters and rubber chicken are from Hawkins Bazaar £1.50 and £2. The chickens for a guy friend who is easily amused lol

Watermelon lipbalm (smells gorgeous) £2 from Hawkins Bazaar, Miss Sporty nail polish in Peaches £1.99, Collection 2000 nail polish in Show Off £1.79.

Miss Sporty nail polishes are great and you really can not go wrong for the price. They currently have a 3 for 2 offer across the range so you could get 3 nail polishes for £4!

My nails are now long enough to show swatches and I am going to borrow my friends camera so I can show you the colours of my nail polishes. I'll start off with my Asda ones then Miss Sporty, then Collection 2000 and then carry on with the rest.

Miss Sporty Studio Lash Mascara - Review

I really like Miss Sporty products - I use their concealer most of the time and their nail varnishes are my favourite to use.

Last year I bought their Studio Lash mascara (£2.93), being the first plastic brush mascara I used... and the last. I've said before that I prefer 'proper' bristled brushes because they give volume and comb your lashes when applying to prevent clumps. I find that with plastic brushes, they give no volume at all and clump because the 'bristles' are plastic which makes them quite thick.

This being said, I gave it to my mum which it then sat in the bottom of her make-up bag for months and months. Earlier I decided to re-use this mascara to see if my thoughts had changed, now that I am into make-up and have a better view on products.

To me, my lashes looked very clumpy and unnatural after applying. It made my eye lashes look thick, plastic and fake. Some people may like the big fake looking lashes, but I myself, do not.

So do I still dislike plastic brushes? Defiantly!

On to the next point: The formula of the mascara - It was still wet after 10 minutes! Even now after 20 minutes it feels quite tacky.

I review products I either love or hate and normally they are products I love. If a product is nothing special then I don't review it because you want to know what is really good or what to stay clear of, not the 'mm it is alright' products - They won't help you decide to buy it or not.

I don't think I have ever done a bad review, this being the first because I can not name 3 products I hate - it rarely happens.

Zodiac & Electric Beige

Zodiac & Electric Beige

Zodiac

Electric Beige

As you can see, these colours are gorgeous!
Their from Miss Sporty & are £1.95 a bottle.
These both only took one coat which I think is pretty darn good for a lower priced brand & Electric Beige had few chips by the end of the week.

One down, Five to go

My sister kindly picked me up Collection 2000's Hot Looks nail polish in BMX Bandit:

With Flash

Without Flash

I would say that the second picture is true to what this polish looks like. The first one looks more blue than what it is. I love this colour and the polish itself is really good. It dried so quickly! Which is a good thing :)
There are five more colours from this collection which I want.

There is a colour from Miss Sporty which I am also going to get on Saturday. It is like BMX Bandit but more vibrant and a gorgeous blue/purple colour:

Miss Sporty nail polish's are £1.95.
I have quite a few from this brand and I love them. You should check out the other colours they do:
