Nails Inc Sprinkles Collection

Hey guys!

I've been waiting for this release for a while, so am super excited to be able to finally order some!

I'm talking about the new collection from Nails Inc, which is the Sprinkles Collection, which is perfect for Spring/Summer.

There are 4 shades inspired by ice creams/cupcakes, which are all super cute and have equally cute names:

From left to right, we have:

Pudding Lane, which is a aqua blue shade with medium blue and gold glitters

Sweets Way, which is a milky white base with light blue, pink and silver glitters

Topping Lane, which is a candy pink base, with medium blue, hot pink and silver glitters

Sugar Lane House, which is a beige base, with black and silver glitters

The first 3 are my faves and I will be ordering some tomorrow, so watch out for a product review when they arrive (may take a couple of weeks, as I am pre ordering them).

I would say that these polishes are pretty unique right now, so I am happy to add these to my ever growing polish collection.

What do you guys think of this collection?

Illamasqua Naked Strangers Collection

Hello!

Sorry for my long hiatus and being such a bad blogger!

Today, this popped in to my mailbox and I thought I'd share:

The collection consists of these 3 nail polishes (as well as some nude blushes and lip glosses), all priced at a very specific £12.15 each (this may just be pre lauch, as the RRP is £13.50)!

Here are the details, including site images:

'Monogamous', which is described as a 'creamy flesh pink, matte finish'

'Faithful', which is described as a 'coppered metal, metallic finish'

'Swinger', which is described as a 'glistening platinum gold, metallic finish'

I would say 'Swinger' is my fave out of the 3, as nudes arent really my bag, although I like the look of the nail art in the first image - what do you think of this new release?

For more info, check it out here - the UK release date is 31st May.

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely UK weather today :)

Gareth Pugh for MAC Cosmetics

Hello!

How are you all?

I am super excited about this collection, due for UK release this December.

The collection is quite edgy (for MAC,anyway!), with some really nice pieces.

As you can see, its quite a comprehensive collection, with something for everyone - my faves are the nail polishes and I will definitely be trying to get these babies:

I LOVE duo-chrome polishes and these look fabulous!

The shades are (from left to right):

Inert : Creamy mid-tone greyed nude (crème)

Hyper : Deep blue with violet pearl (frost)

Ascension : Grey with blue violet reflective pearl (frost)

There are also some graphic false lashes, which I think are awesome:

What do you guys think of this upcoming collection?

Freak like me..............

Hello!

Hope you are all enjoying this glorious weather in October?!!!

Anyway, speaking of strange happenings, look what I found, just in time for Halloween - my fave time of year!

When I saw this I was delighted!!

Its the new fragrance by Illamasqua, aptly named 'Freak'.

I love the bottle design, with the little silver snail slithering up the side of the bottle but what about the fragrance?

They say.......

"Freak is a concoction of dangerously exotic unconventional flowers which Illamasqua has unashamedly blended together to celebrate the night…

The notes for the unisex fragrance feature black davana, opium flower, belladonna, poison hemlock, datura, queen of the night, frankincense, oud and myrrh"

Sounds intriguing and I really wanna try it!

This débuts this month and will be available in 75ml Eau de Parfum for £59

What do you guys think?

Will you be treating yourselves?

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!

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 Quite Cute Collection Spring 2011

Hi guys, 

Sorry for the lack of posts lately - I have had some personal stuff going o, but hopefully can get back to some regular posting now.

MAC Wonder Woman

Hello lovelies!

I am so excited for the MAC Wonder Woman collaboration!

I know a lot of people are not really liking this collection but i am super excited about it :)

Here are my picks that I will be (hopefully!) purchasing when it arrives in the UK (March 2011):

Its worth noting that most products in this collection are super sized, compared to the regular versions, which may mean they are slightly more expensive than the regular version of the product, where applicable - to me it is worth it, although something to think about if you're on a budget:

Blue Make Up bag - this has a cute blue and white star print inside!

Also available in red

'Amazon Princess' Blush Duo - this a lovely magenta pink on one side (the larger side) and a berry shade with gold shimmer on the other!

Lipstick in 'Russian Red' - I know this is a permanent but I sort of collect the MAC collaboration lipsticks, so will be trying to get this one :)

(The other shade pictured is 'Spitfire', if you're interested)

Also, I may get this - I love the colours but the reviews have been mediocre, so will see:

Eyeshadow Quad in 'Lady Justice' - I may buy this purely for the name ha ha

What are your thoughts on this upcoming collection?

Will you be purchasing anything?

Sleek Molten Metal

Hi guys!

What do you think of this new release from Sleek?

Molten Metal Duo

Sleek say:

"Molten Metal is a highly pigmented metallic cream eyeshadow duo.

The palette consists of 2 gloriously rich and highly pigmented metallic creams that ignite the skin with intensity. The formulation is soft and fluid-like allowing easy application."

This looks very similar to the Illamasqua Liquid Metals, although for £6.99 for this little duo, they are a lot more purse friendly.

Its available here. 

I will be picking up the Molten Metals - what do you guys think?

Hugs
