Barry M Instant Nail Effect Nail Foil Varnish

Hello my lovelies, 

I am so sorry for my long absence - I have been feeling very low and just not in the mood to blog but will try my best to get back to regular blogging :)

Anyways, when surfing the net I came across these beauties:

What Barry M says.........

"Instant Nail Effects foil is an amazing addition to our Nail Paints. It is applied like any other Nail Paint but with a luxurious foil finish previously only acheived from a salon manicure. It only requires one coat and is very quick drying."

What I say......

These look AWESOME - I will definately be picking these up to see how they fare against the ever popular 

MINX effect - I really hope that they do not disappoint!

Whilst the silver shade is my current fave, I am hoping that they will expand the colour selection as they have done with the cracking polishes.

They are priced at £3.99 each and you can pick them up here

Thanks for reading - I hope you are all having a good September so far!

Hiatus and Etsy Finds on Heartsy

Hello!

First of all, thanks to my new followers - I really appreciate it :)

Also, I just want to say sorry for my extremely long hiatus - I have had a few personal problems recently but i think I am back on track now, so hopefully will be back to blogging as usual!

On to the pretties!

I recently came across a site called Heartsy, which, each day (apart from weekends it seems) posts some really good deals from Etsy stores, for example, buy a $40 voucher for a particular seller for $10.

Using this, I came across this amazing seller on Etsy, which you can find here

The store is named The Little Fox and has some beautiful art prints, necklaces and paper goods - they are part whimsy, part story book, part slightly creepy/cute and I highly recommend checking her out!

I have ordered 3 necklaces so will be posting pics on these when they arrive.

If you are interested in Heartsy, please click on the following link to find out more - yes, its a referral link and I will get $5 credit when you sign up but you automatically will get a $5 credit too :)

I have come across some great sellers on here and the service is totally free - this is in no way a sponsored post or anything like that - I just thought I would share with you guys who may like it!

They also have a VIP service you can sign up too, which is pretty worthwhile too.

If you would like me to do a more detailed post, just let me know.

Models Own & Wah Nails - Smash Up Polish Release!

Hello lovelies!

Now, I am a massive fan of the Barry M Instant Nail effects 'shatter' polish, so was super excited to see a similar release from another 'high street' brand:

This is Model's Own up coming collaboration with Wah Nails, aptly named 'Smash Up', which seems to give the same effect as the Barry M one but with a lot more colour choice.

Excited, non?!

These will be available exclusively in Boots from April 20th (black and silver only) and there will be a full launch on the Models Own site sometime in April, so watch out for that.

The silver may be a dupe for OPI's upcoming silver shatter polish, as part of their Pirates of the Caribbean range.

The price will be £6, which I think is quite affordable (not for me though, as I will be buying all of them haha)

What do you guys think?

Will you be purchasing?

MAC Disappointment..........and Success!

Hi guys!

Having sold some stuff on Ebay, I decided to treat myself to something from the MAC Wonderwoman collection, so decided to opt for the Amazon Princess blush.

The day came when the little black box was delivered - cue excitement when opening the package until i saw this:

Hmm, looks quite dusty, right?

Well, this is why:

The blush was totally destroyed - I was both upset and furious, as at £21, this was by no means a cheap product.

So, my partner called them and they offered to send another free of charge and advised I can keep this one.

So, today, another black box arrived and look what was inside:

I was so reluctant when opening this but was pleased when i opened the compact:

Although I was really disappointed and upset at first, I am impressed that MAC managed to sort this out in the space of 2 working days for me.

However, after this error and a previous error when ordering some of the Marcel Wanders collection from the site, I am very reluctant to use the site again (although the service was excellent when I ordered the Venomous Villians collection from there).

Also, do you guys have any ideas on what to do with the broken compact?
 

I was thinking of crushing it up and using it as one powder blush and then cleaning up the compact and using that as a mirror?

What do you guys think?

Do you have any other ideas and also, what are your experiences with using MAC online?

USA Swapsies!

Hello ladies!

I absolutely love anything to do with the US, in particular their amazing beauty products!

Is there anyone out there who would like to participate in a UK/USA swap?

It doesn't have to be a large amount, just a swap of a few drugstore brands each way.

Please let me know :)

Hello!

I dont know about you but I am itching for this baby to be released:

This is the Givenchy Le Prismissime Yeux from their Summer 2011 Acid Summer range.

9 bright summery shades in a hot little limited edition package? 

Yes please!!

I CANNOT wait for this one :)

Also, whilst I'm ton the subject, having this would also be nice:

Vernis, Please! Nail Lacquer in 'Acid Orange'

What are your thoughts on this?

Hugs
