Revlon ColorStay : Wild Strawberry

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a fun weekend !!! Mine was quite relaxing . ♥ Today I'm showing you another of the Revlon ColorStay colours. This colour is called Wild Strawberry. This is such a rich intense bright pink . Really such a awesome girly colour. The ColorStay polishes has a great formula, goes on very easy and smoothly. The polishes also generally last about 4-5 days before chips really pop up. I used two coats of Revlon ColorStay Wild Strawberry in the photos below - I even added a little fun accent nail -   For the fun animal print inspired nail art , I used Revlon ColorStay Passionate Pink for the animal print dots, and lined it with black nail polish . ♥ What do you think of this pink ?? Hope you have a happy Monday ! #This product was send in exchange for my honest opinion # 

OPI - My Vampire is Buff meets Nails Inc Marylebone ♥

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is having a fun week so far ! Can't believe its Wednesday already! Today I have a fun mani to share with you guys. I have been lusting after OPI My Vampire is Buff since FOREVER ! and been drooling over swatches of this beauty forever. When I finally spotted it , I knew I NEEDED this colour , and I'm so glad I got this beauty in my collection. This is really a PERFECT creme nude colour, and I love how amazing it looks on me . For this look, I painted all the nails (except the accent nail ) with two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff . Then I used a nail art brush and drew a triangle at my cuticle line for a fun half moon mani look with Nails Inc Marylebone. I then painted two coat of Nails Inc Marylebone on my accent nail. I LOOOOVVVVEEE these two colours together, it looks so soft and girly . Let me share the pics with you -       And here is a photo of the polishes I used - I hope you love this mani as much as I do ♥

Mint Mani for Talia Joy Castellano ♥

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is as glad as I am that it's Friday ! For those of you who might not know, the beauty community lost one of it's most treasured members on Tuesday morning ... Talia Joy Castellano .  Talia was a beautiful thirteen year old girl who was battling two horrible forms of cancer, neuroblastoma and preleukemia. She was also a supremely talented make up and nail artist.  You might have seen her amazing appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show , where she was also made an honorary Cover Girl! The last mani she posted on Instagram was a mint green mani , and a bunch of bloggers decided to dedicate this Friday to her,  and wear a mint green or green mani in Honor of Talia Joy. So here is my mint green mani to remember the wonderful Talia Joy - For this mani I used two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Green Tea . It's really a gorgeous light mint green colour . I am really starting to love mint green colours now, I picked up

OPI AvoJuice - Coconut Melon Hand & Body Lotion

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is having a great week so far . Mine has been super busy with my brother still in hospital, and a few craft projects I'm doing at the moment at home. Today I'm sharing a hand lotion review with you. A few weeks back my hands were really starting to take a beating with this cold weather, so badly it started to feel super dry and started to show small cracks on my hands. I was searching high and low for a good affordable hand cream, but nothing seems to help. I got a few of these mini sizes to try out in different scents , and I'm so glad I did ! This hand lotion is AMAZING !!! Another huge bonus for me it's not oily at all, and it absorbs so quickly into your skin, a HUGE bonus especially at work were I can't just sit and wait for a hand cream to absorb a little. It's non greasy and has an amazing scent too . This scent is the coconut melon one, and I love how it instantly remind me of the beach and a tropical island. The smell isn&

OPI - Can't Let Go Liquid Sand

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a fun weekend ! Mine was super busy, my brother had taken ill and was taken up in hospital on Friday , so spend most of my time there visiting him. Today I'm showing you another one of the gorgeous Mariah Carey Liquid Sands . This one is Can't Let go, and is a gorgeous purple texture polish with small purple hexagon and fine glitter in the mix. This is really so gorgeous, I just love textures in general, and this is another gorgeous one. The texture was the same as Stay The Night, again a finer texture than the China Glaze ones . I used two coats of this gorgeous colour in the swatches below - Again , this texture polish is another winner in my books. ♥ The textures really wear like iron , and I love how this one just has the most gorgeous sparkle. Hope you have a lovely Monday !!

Hi guys ! Thank goodness it's Friday ! It's been a hell of a week, but it's finally weekend !! And I'm actually loving the cold weather in JHB too ! Today I'm showing you a gorgeous nail polish from Revlon Colour Stay range. This beauty is called Stormy Night .. And it's such a gorgeous colour for winter . ♥ It's a grey-ish brown colour, that is super opaque, I could have easily gotten away with one coat of this gorgeous colour, but used two . I just love colours like these, they are such a perfect neutral colour, perfect for the office, and gorgeous too . And I love the name too, I'm a big fan of stormy nights with rain and thunder. The colour stay polishes last a good 5days on me before my tip wear gets to bad or I have chipping . Really great polishes , and the colours in the range is so lovely too.  Shown below are 2 coats of Revlon Colour Stay Stormy Night - Isn't this such a lovely colour ?? I just love how perfect it is
