Tip Top Cuticle Oil ♥

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend ! Today I'm not going to show a new colour, this weather this past week has been hectic on my poor hands, they are super dry and I even broke a nail. :( Over this weekend , I went out to buy myself a new Tip Top cuticle oil ( Clicks was having a special on them.. 20% off ! And I needed some as the other cuticle oils wasn't even helping my poor cuticles !! Eeeck !! ) This is really the liquid gold of all the cuticle oils out there .. Its worth EVERY SINGLE CENT ! It's very oily, usually I only applied this before bedtime, but my cuticles are SO dry , I am typing with it on, and my cuticles absorbs it within seconds. Scary.. Just goes to show how dry they really are. I'm on day 3 of cuticle oil, and while I'm starting to see a small difference, I know in a few days they'll be as good as new. :) That's how great Tip Top cuticle oil works. Honestly, everyone should have this cuticle oil in their house /...

Tip Top : Lemon Fuel

Hi everyone ! Today I have a pretty nice colour from Tip Top to show you. I won this as a prize last year on their Facebook page, and the last time I wore this colour, got a few people that LOVED this colour. Honestly, I'm not a yellow person ( I hate the colour actually ) but this colour I do love. :) And with this gloomy cold weather, it's a nice colour pop. Excuse the short nails , hate it when a nail breaks and decided to make them all short again .   Nail Booster Protein Base Coat (Yellow ) and 2 Coats Tip Top Lemon Fuel  Tip Top Nail Booster Protein Base Coat As part of my prize, I also got the Nail Booster Top Coat , this one was Yellow.  This one contains Honey and Vitamin E. Fantastic Base Coat . And it does help your nails grow faster. The colour might look very yellow in this base coat, but it does dry clear with a light yellowish tint.   2 Coats Tip Top Lemon Fuel  Tip Top Nail Booster Protein Base Coat Both these products r...

Sorbet : Firming Hand and Body Age Control Lotion

Hi guys. Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend so far ! I bought this lotion a few weeks ago, and since then have been majorly impressed. The lotion is not too creamy and oily, so you can easily put it on and continue working on your laptop or do whatever you were busy doing. And it smells stunning ! And the best part - The firming and age control in the lotion. A lot of people tend to forget about their hands, and only use firming creams on their faces etc.. But your hands age just as fast, if not faster. This lotion is perfect for that . :) I use mine before bed too, and put on a extra layer and some cotton gloves to keep in the moisture before bedtime. The perfect weekly treat for tired and dry hands. The range also includes a Firming body lotion, a hand and nail cream, firming body wash , firming foam bath and then the product I'm using of THIS range - The Firming Hand and Body Lotion. The Firming hand cream is really nice too, I just prefer lotions during...

China Glaze : Haunting

TGIF ! This week was seriously too long ! Today I'm showing you guys China Glaze Haunting . Its a nice dark grey colour (even though on the colour swatches it's supposed to be a lighter grey .. o well ) with the most awesome light silver glitter sparkles in.  Formula wise, it was great to work with, only needed two coats . :) 2 Coats China Glaze Haunting & 1 Coat China Glaze Fast Forward  In sunshine , you can see the sparkles of glitter :)  More sun photo's . :) 

China Glaze : Ghoulish Glow

China Glaze Halloween Collection L-R : Its Alive , Ghoulish Glow , Black Mesh and China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat I bought this awesome set a while ago .. mostly for the fact that I couldn't get the Ghoulish Glow on its own, and I SO badly wanted to try this novelty polish... Whats not to love about a polish that glows in the dark ?? 2 Coats Tip Top Fairy Dust, 1 Ghoulish Glow  and 2 coats China Glaze Fast Forward Firstly, I still had on the Tip Top Fairy Dust, this Top Coat didn't alter the colour at all (as you can see ).. It might look yellowish in the bottle, but the purple stayed the same. I did apply 2 coats of China Glaze Fast Forward over the Ghoulish Glow, as the Ghoulish Glow makes it look a little matte.  1 Coat Ghoulish Glow, and 2 Coats China Glaze Fast Forward at night time. :)  So the results are in , a GREAT glow in the dark polish. Was worried with applying the extra top coats, it won't work, but it worked great . :)  The best...

China Glaze : Naughty and Nice

So the first China Glaze colour I tried out was the Christmas combo one : Naughty and Nice. Such a strange colour to be honest. Its suposed to be more reddsh.. But it turned out REALLY really dark on me .. Perhaps it was the Matte topcoat, but even before that , it was really dark . Still.. It was an awsome colour to have on ...  2 Coats China Glaze Naughty and Nice and China Glaze Matte Magic topcoat  I had to take a photo of it with my cuticle oil bottle in hand, as the actaul colour in the bottle made my hand look ghostly .. Eeeckkk.... It was really easy to apply the colour , which for such a dark colour is really awsome. Usaully you need tons of coats to get it even .. this only took two.. 2 Coats China Glaze Naughty and Nice with China Glaze Matte Magic ropcoat  Actual bottle : China Glaze Naughty and Nice  However.. This colour had its downside... I have to say, to date this was seriously the HARDEST colour to get off. I really struggled to get thi...

Loving my new goodies !!

First off, I have to say, after reading other nail sites, I had to try the China Glaze for myself !  Here are some of my first goodies I'm trying out... First off , was one of the Christmas sets of China Glaze. Bought this super cool set. It contains Naughty and Nice ( the colour will be my first feature colour too, although I'm still a little two minded if the colour is actaully more red or purple - the website classifies it as a deep red.. I found it more purple-ish  ... ) , Peppermint Cuticle Oil, and Mrs Claus... It looks like such an awsome colour .... Next one was another set they had on special. It contains Evening Seduction and Inner Beauty .. Such pretty colours ! Then my NEW favourite product.. China Glaze Orange Cuticle oil.. It smells devine ! It doesn't even make your cuticles too oily.. Though I would recommend applying in the evening before bedtime, as oily stains on everything isn't cool ! So far I'm really L.O.V.I.N.G...
