Models Own - Velvet Goth Collection!

Hey all,

Almost Friday...WOOOOOO!!

I have good news, I finally invested in a good phone...okay my iPhone 4s wasn't that bad but damn...the Samsung Galaxy S4's camera is da bomb! lol :D

I knew I had to wait to get this phone to photograph the Models Own Velvet Goth Collection I got last week. They are a bunch of glitters, in a coloured base which dries a little matte. I didn't add any topcoat to my swatch because I don't mind the slight grittiness to it and I love matte!

OH! And I really love the fluffy texture on the bottle tops! :D reminds me of the fluff thingie powder for nails!

Here are my swatches :)

First up is Obsidian - It is a bunch of silver glitters suspended in a black jelly base, really super shiny and I love that the glitter is so dense in this polish and the rest of them! I have two coats on without top coat

Next is Valerian - A deep blue jelly with some silver, blue and fine black glitters in it. Easy coverage again in two coats without any topcoat!

Third up is Amethyst - An amazing purple jelly which I absolutely love! I can't get enough of how nice the glitter looks in the purple base! It contains purple and silver glitters in it :) no topcoat again!

Next is Sardonyx - Again, a major fan of this red jelly base! I would love just buy the jelly bases alone because they are so rich in colour! Contains fine black and red glitters! Two coats and no topcoat :)

Last but certainly not least, my absolute favourite of the collection Absinthe - A beautiful deep emerald green colour with fine green and silver glitter and large green hexes. This is just a WOW for me! I really really really love it! :D two coats and no topcoat :)

I do love this collection a lot, these are my first glitters within a coloured base and I am defo not disappointed!

What do you guys think!?

Don't forget I have a give away running :) check it out HERE

Thank you all for reading! 

Bye for now!

Barry M - Matte - Crush w/ Gold topcoat!

Hey Ladies,

My exam is over! It was bloody tedious...those examiners are so evil!

Anyway, I swatched Barry M - Crush which is a deep red colour and such a bonus that it dries matte!

I have two easy coats on and I have to say Barry M have it covered when you wanna have two perfect two coats! I am loving all their polishes and I really can't get enough really!

I did add NYC - Gold Topcoat over it just to see how it looks and DAMN! it's da bomb! Really adds an elegant touch to it!

Here it is :)

Goldyyyy!!!!

I really do like it with the gold topcoat on! What do you guys thinkies!?

SparRitual - Determination!

Hey Ladies,

I hope you are all having a very merry Christmas. I don't celebrate Christmas but it is such a lovely day of the year, I love all the Christmas lights and all the effort every one goes to, to make their family and friends have a good day :)

Today I have a swatch of SpaRitual's - Determination from the Odyssey collection *Press Sample*. It is a range of lovely matte polishes! I do love me a good matte polish, just love the texture and rubbing it on my upper lip :D lol

Determination is a matte black colour, it does exactly as it's suppose to. I have two easy coats on and there was a bit of streaking...thankfully it evened out after the second coat! Drying time with mattes are pretty damn fast and it was completely dry to the touch in 2 minutes or so! 

Here it is :)

I do love the matte touch on this polish :) There are cheaper alternatives like Barry M - Espresso which is also matte. In my opinion this polish is more matte :)

I added a bit of a goldy touch to the polish using NYC - Gold topcoat!

Really brings out the black! Gold and Black are just so darn elegant together!

SpaRitual polishes are available at Sparitual (UK), Feelunique.com and SpaRitual (US), retailing for £9.75! 

Thank you for reading :)

Bye for now!!

British Nail Blogger Get Rubbed!

Hey all :)

Just a really sexual post for you all :P Name courtesy from Emma over at Em's Little Corner

This is gonna be the weirdest post you may have possibly ever read...but I am not the only one that does it! I'm talking about that lip rubbing thing most of us do absentmindedly! rubbing your painted nails on your upper lip just to get a feel of the polish you're wearing!

Ever do that? I do it with all types of nail polish I have, must be something I do when I am stressed or nervous because it really makes me calm LOL

Textures, dotty nails, glitter, satin/metallic and matte nails! Those are my 5 favorite polish and nail art finishes! 

1. Texture - feels amazing to feel the grittiness on my lip! its actually so soothing :) my favorite has to be O.P.I - Pussy Galore (very fitting name for this post!) Sometimes I even lick it so I can feel the grittiness on my tongue!

2. Dotty - When I have a spotty design on my nails it creates a really awesome 3D texture on my and when I rub it on my upper lip I can feel the bumps!
Here is an awful example with a lopsided bow! 

3. Satin/metallic polishes - They are so smooth and fell really good! Really glides along my top lip! Sometimes I press my tongue on my nail because it just slides off!

4. Glitter! - OMG! The best feeling texture on my lips! The bumps caused by glitter really fills any needs on rubbing! LOL

5. Matte! - Soooooooooo smooooth!!! Really feels smooth and just awesome! Has to be my favorite type of finish to rub along my lip! Especially the new Barry M ones! I want them all :D 

So here you go! These are all of my favorite finishes that I like to rub on my upper lip! Do you guys do this too!? What are your favorite polishes?!

Thanks for reading!

Don't forget to check out the other rubbers! 

Bye for now!

Swatcher - Barry M Matte - Espresso and Caramel!

Hey ladies!

Almost Friday :D YAAAAAY! 

As you all know Barry M released some new Matte polishes a few weeks ago and I decided to buy two of them. The two that really appealed to me were Caramel and Espresso....Espresso because I was in the Halloween mood and that was such a fitting colour! I used it in my Vampire Bites post (HERE). And then I have been looking for a perfect skin tone colour and when I saw Caramel I just knew I had to have it!!!! 

I am EXTREMELY impressed by these Matte polishes! They are very Matte and very smooth and really great coverage as well as no chipping and fast drying times! Seriously perfect in my opinion :)

Here is a swatch of Espresso:

Just perfect!

Next up is Caramel:

REALLY matches my skin tone! My favorite!! :D

What do you ladies think? I really think they are worth the money :D

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!
