PRETTY YOUNG THING

Today I thought i'd share the latest release from Rimmel. They have just released their new Super Gel Polishes and have some gorgeous shades. I haven't used them yet so can't fully review them but I just thought i'd share the new release.

It's a two-step process so you paint the colour on first and follow with a top coat for superior colour and shine that lasts for up to 14 days. Easy to apply, it dries like a regular nail polish, no UV lamps needed.


 As usual Rimmel products are on 3 for 2 in Boots so head on over and check out these what beautiful shades they have brought out just in time for the summer. So go and check out these gorgeous shades and i'll review them once i've given them a go! 

I've been meaning to review these for ages! I didn't use to wear nail polish because I worked in a restaurant and wasn't allowed, I work in retail now which means I get to paint my nails more often.

I love having gel nails done because they last for ages and are a lovely smooth finish however gels can work out expensive and tend to leave my nails abit worse for wear so I try to use nail polish in between having my gels done.

These Seventeen Gel colour polishes are great because they are really nice and easy to apply. The brush is lovely and the finish is nice and smooth. This polish tends to last a few days.

They come in so many colours and it's such an affordable product at only £3.99 ! Theres some gorgeous colours that would be perfect for the Autumn/ winter such as Mocha-tini and Backcurrant bomb.

I was kindly sent these Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints to review! I love the Gelly range from Barry M. I think the nail polishes are really good because they create this gel- like look and they dry alot quicker than normal Barry M polishes.

The Confetti range from Barry M is available now in superdrug and boots and comes in 5 different shades which you can see here and here. The shade I have is Sour apply, it's a clear top coat with light blue and yellow flicks of confetti in. I think the colours are nice and look great teamed with Barry M Gelly in Guava! The confetti texture isn't 'TOO' texturised as i've found sometimes glittery polishes can be really textured and the flecks get caught on things but this isn't the case with this polish.

Aswell as the Confetti polish I was sent two brand new shades from the Gelly range, Passionfruit and Guava. Passionfruit is a gorgeous orangey/coral/red shade and Guava is a lovely turquoise.

The Gelly polishes apply so nice! They really look like you have Gel overlays. I think they dry really nice and appear really smooth. They dry really quick which is great for me because I hate waiting for my nails to dry. I applied two coats and my nails looked amazing.

I'm abit gutted that the polish did start to chip after 1-2 days but if your like me and change your nail colour all the time it's fine and if you just did little touch ups the polish actually lasts quite well.

I think they shades are great especially for my holiday! They are very summery :) I'm loving the new colours and the confetti range I want the Marsh mellow shade!


You can buy these from boots and superdrug! Theres links above and the polishes retail at £3.99.

The other day I picked up the Topshop highlighter and this pretty pink nail polish. I really wanted to start using highlighter and have looked at the Topshop one before. I think the Topshop make up brand is good but I've only really used eye and lip products not face products. I picked it up anyway and paid £9 with student discount which compared to the Benefit Watts Up Highlighter at £23.50 is nothing. The Packaging is gorgeous - the only issue is its white and its not going to be white for long! I'm keeping it in the box at the moment but we all know that doesn't last long. The actual highlighter is good, I've been using a foundation brush to apply it under my brow, down the center of my face and then using it to define my cheeks along with my blush. You can only really see it in certain lights but thats the point of highlighter to highlight these areas. I really like the product and have used it everyday since I bought it, the only negative is it has NO MIRROR ! I know this isn't a major issue it's just not ideal if you wanted to apply this quickly and you didn't have a mirror handy.. I'm really glad I bought it and really want to give more Topshop make up ago.

The nail polish is called powder. Its a baby pink with a little bit of shimmer in it. I would prefer for it to be abit more shimmery but its a nice neutral shade for when you don't want much colour on your nails. This is the first Topshop nail polish i've used and I love the brush and the handle size because its really easy to use. I used about 3 coats of this but it is a light shade. I really liked the colour and I picked it off so can't really say how long it lasts but it stayed on for a couple of days without any chips.I really like the packaging again and can't wait to buy some more Topshop polishes. I do think the topshop polishes are abit pricey this is a shimmery one so was £6 but the standard shades retail at £5 and thats for 8ml but the models own polishes are £5 for 15ml. Would you spend your money on the Topshop polishes or Models own ?

Have you tried any Topshop Make up ?

I picked up these polishes at the clothes show and I couldn't wait to try them out
I've never used the Barry M Gelly polishes and really wanted to try them out. I've been wearing the Prickly Pear shade all week. I love lilac nail polish so I was so happy when I found the did it in a lilac shade. The actual polish is really nice and goes on the nail nicely you don't have to put loads of coats on. I will be picking up some more colours of the gelly range. It also dries really quickly.
The models own Clothes Show Exclusive was something I really wanted to pick up and I actually forgot about it when I was actually at the clothes show but I just so happened to pick it up, I liked the colour and that it was glittery and didn't even notice until I was doing this post that it was the clothes show exclusive. I've been wearing this with the lilac and its a really nice combo.
I liked the look of Juicy jules as i don't have any just silver glitter polishes and the pearly queen is a nice shade and I think with a glittery polish on it will be lovely for those christmas parties.
