NOTD: Leighton Denny Bestseller

Today I am sharing with you a shade from Leighton Denny. I’ve not got too many Leighton Denny polishes but I have tried one in the past I Love Juicy and I really liked it. I picked up a few when they were being offered in a magazine. The shade I have to share with you today is called Bestseller. 

I really like the packaging of Leighton Denny as although it is simple it looks quite luxurious. The Leighton Denny nail polishes are the same price as Nails Inc £11 each. I prefer Nails Inc polishes but that may because I have tried more from Nails Inc. 

Onto the shade Bestseller is a sparkly pink polish. This polish has silver and pink glitter in it. The reason it is called Bestseller is because when it was being tested this was the one that was liked the most by the testers. This was opaque with one coat but I did 2 as I finds that this makes it last longer. This lasted a good week before it started to chip. As it is a glittery polish I was worried that it would be a nightmare to remove but it wasn’t too bad to remove I’ve definitely had worse. The only downside to this was the finish, it was quite a matte finish which I don’t particularly like. I do prefer a glossy finish but as I liked the colour so much I could put up with the matte finish.

June Magazine Freebies 2014

This month there are some amazing magazine freebies to be had. As I have said in the past magazine freebies are a great way to try new brands and products out for less. Magazines often offer brands such as Nails Inc. and Benefit so it is a great way to try things without having to spend large amounts on a full size product that you might not like. 

So I thought I'd start with a couple of freebies that I myself did not pick up but you may be interested in. Cosmopolitan and Tatler magazine have a variety of sunglasses to choose from. The only reason why I did not pick up this freebie is because I wear prescription lenses so I wouldn't be able to see out of the sunglasses if I had bought them. The only other freebie this month is in Glamour magazine and it is not one I'd recommend. It is the Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner in blue or black. I got this last year and it is one of the worst eyeliners I have ever tried so I would suggest that you give this freebie a miss. 

The first freebie I did pick up was in Red Magazine. They had a choice of 4 different nail polishes from Mavala. I haven't tried any Mavala polishes before so I was excited to pick up this freebie. They had 4 colours to choose from a red, a blue, a nude and an orange. I chose the shade Waikiki Orange (169) as I don't have many oranges in my collection. I am yet to try this polish but I am really looking forward to try it to see what the quality is like.

Red Magazine: £4

The next freeibe I got was in Marie Claire. They had Ciate Caviar Manicure sets. If you've followed my blog for awhile you may be aware that I do not like textured nails and I really don't like  Caviar beads as they are too messy so you may be wondering why I picked this up. I picked it up for the polish that comes in the set as I really like Ciate polishes and I can always give the beads away to someone else. They had 6 sets to choose from and I went for the red colour which is called the Sunset Shimmer set. It comes with a polish in the shade Play Date and the Caviar beads in the shade Cloud Nine.

Marie Claire: £3.90

Harper's Bazaar had full size Leighton Denny nail polishes this month. I really like Leighton Denny nail polishes after trying one last year which I got in a magazine. The one I tried was called I Love Juicy and it came as part of a duo with a base and top coat on one end and the colour on the other end. There is a choice of 6 shades I got the shade Lolly Pop as this was the only colour my Tesco had and also it is a pink and I love pink nail polishes.

Harper's Bazaar: £4.20

The last freebie I have to talk about is in Instyle Magazine. They have a 30ml sample of the REN Hot Cloth Cleanser which comes with a muslin cloth. I like REN skincare but I can't afford to try out there products too often as they are quite expensive. This freebie has come at a good time as I have nearly ran out of my current cleanser.

Instyle: £3.90

My Top Pink and Red Nail Polishes

As I have mentioned previously I love pink and red nail polish. I love the way these 2 colours look on my nails, I think they really complement my skin tone. Today I thought I would share with you some of my favourites. 

The first 2 are from Nails Inc. a brand that I love. The polishes are amazing quality and they have a good range of colours. OMP is a bright pink which in some lights looks red. Both of these polishes only need two coats and they last about 5 days before they start to chip. Magazines often give Nails Inc. polishes as freebies so it is always best to keep your eyes open. Also you can sign up to become a VIP for a year (£5), when you sign up you get a free polish worth £11 which means it is definitely worth signing up even if you never buy anything else plus you get £5 to spend in your birthday month. It's Red Babez  is a bright red colour which I think is a must in everyone's collection and this one is fantastic quality and a must in my opinion despite the not so great name. 

The next polish is a bit of a shock really. When I was in H&M I was browsing and I saw the beauty section i thought I'd have a quick look to see if anything took my eye and I got this polish as it was only £1.99 and I thought it was worth trying. I was pleasantly surprised when I took this out the packaging as it had a name (Prim & Proper) I find it very annoying when brands don't give names to their products as Shade 1 doesn't sound as good as having a proper name. That aside this is a really good pink glitter,  this has chunks of pink and silver glitter and it looks lovely on top of different colours. I mostly use this on a accent finger rather than all my fingers. 

Next is a nail polish from Barry M, I am a huge fan of Barry M they have a great range of colours and lots of different formulas to choose from. Shocking Pink is a bright pink shade which I mainly use on my toes I use it on my nails as well but most of them time I have this on my toes as I love bright colours. 

Lastly is my Leighton Denny nail duo in I love juicy I got this in a magazine and it is amazing for travelling as it comes with a base and top coat. The colour is really lovely as well it is a lovely shade of red which looks lovely on my nails (if I do say so myself). 

So these are my favourite pinks and reds. Do you have a colour that you always wear on your nails? What's your favourite polish right now?

NOTD- I Love Juicy

I got this nail polish duo in last months Harper's Bazaar. I have never tried Leighton Denny before so I was very excited to give this a try.

I choice the colour I Love Juicy as I love red nail polishes as I think they go well  with my skin tone. What I like about this is that it comes with a base and top coat which makes it perfect for travelling. I can see that I will take this on holiday with me when I go in a few weeks time.

I love this colour and I think it is perfect for summer. This duo will come in handy when I go travelling as I won't need to bother packing an extra base and top coat.
