My boyfriend always complains that I take ages to get ready on Saturdays before going out...I can't help not wearing any make-up. It is my way of relaxing and getting prepared for a saturday out ;)

other nail polishes..Eyeko Rain, Pastel, Petite, Vintage, Military and Vampira Nail Polishes and Barry M. Dusky Mauve and Mushroom

I was out with one of my friends in the Topshop flagship store in Oxford Circus and I, of course, stopped at the Barry M. counter. While I was quickly browsing with my eyes the nail polishes this vision appeared to me: DUSKY MAUVE! 
At first I thought it was the mushroom one but then I was immediately taken by the purple shimmer in it. Beautiful.
I couldn't not buy it. Especially with the student discount of 10% :)

Here below is a comparison between the two nail polishes by Barry M. and a review of the Rain Polish by Eyeko that got so many compliments last week in my office. I thought of spreading the word and make everyone know of the beautiful opaque colour pay off that you get with some of the Eyeko Nail Polishes. 
As I have already mentioned in my YouTube video, the only regret among the nail polishes is the Vampira:  it is a bit too subtle to be a glitter nail polish. I prefer either a really sparkling and shimmery nail polish or a really opaque one. (without even considering that you have to spend a good 10 mins to remouve a glittery nail polish!:( Anyway..I hope you enjoy my pics and comments...xxx

Elf Nail Polish Mod Mauve Review

I got this nail polish in the mail on Monday when I got back from Italy and I LOVE IT! 
I was looking for a mauve nail polish and since I have been into dusty colours lately I thought of giving this colour a try. I got this for £ 1.05 from ELF (www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/) and even though the consistency is quite liquid and light, I think it is definitely worth the money. 








TO SUM UP....
Colour: great dusty-rosy-pink
Consistency: liquid-lightweight 2-3 coats for a deep colour (2 coats in the pictures)
Cost: usually £1.50 great value for money


I used my "sache vite" top coat and it hasn't chipped so far (3 days).
