NOTD: Superpower Blue

Today I am going to be sharing with you an NOTD. I picked up this Maybelline polish in Poundland they had a lot of different colours in store and they even had some of the limited edition shades from the Brocades collection that everyone loved a few years ago. I picked up the shade Superpower Blue which is a gorgeous bright blue.

The application was really easy, it had a nice wide brush which meant that I could get a really smooth and even application. I only needed two coats for the colour to be fully opaque. I really loved this colour on my nails and I thought it looked really pretty. It is a really nice bright blue which I think looks really nice this time of year. I really like the Maybelline Colour Show polishes as they are really long lasting on the nails. The only downside to this one which is a downside to a lot of blue polishes is that it can stain your nails even if you use a base coat. 

The Maybelline Polishes are really great value for money as they only cost £2.99 and they have a really good range of colours.

NOTD: Mango Madness

Today I am sharing another polish that I got from ELF this shade is Mango Madness. I have never really worn orange nail polishes but when I saw someone wearing an orange polish I wanted to give the colour a go. I think Mango Madness is one of my only orange that I own. 

It is quite a bright colour, and it is a dark orange so in some lights it can look a bit red. As I have mentioned before I really like the ELF polishes, I think the formula is really good. All the shades I have tried only require 2 coats, they apply really evenly and they last a really good time as well.

I really loved this shade and I think it is perfect for summer and I think it looks great on the toes as well. I will be wearing this shade a lot over the next few months when they weather is nicer.

NOTD: Chester Street and Changing Tides

Oh what a surprise I am sharing another Nails Inc polish. Today I am sharing with you Chester Street from Nails Inc and Changing Tides from Sally Hansen. 

Chester Street is a pearly nude shade which is really pretty it is similar to Porchester Square. I decided to apply Changing Tides on top as I wanted a bit of sparkle. Changing Tides is a gorgeous pink glitter with bits of blue and silver glitter running through it. I really liked this combination of colours.

Chester Street is a really pretty nude shade and I would recommend it if you are looking for a nude shade. I really love the glittery shade and I think it works really well with the nude shade.

NOTD: Optic Wave

I mentioned this nail polish a couple of weeks ago that I got with a Colgate toothpaste and today I thought I would share with you what it looks like on the nails. On a side not the toothpaste is really good although slightly unusual. 

This colour is a gorgeous shade of blue which I instantly fell in love with. When I painted my nails I was slightly disappointed that the finish was matte but I got over it quite quickly as I loved the colour so much. Like most Nails Inc polishes, this one applied evenly and only needed two coats. It lasted really well and as soon as it started to chip, I re- painted it again. This is a true testament to how much I loved the colour as I don’t normally re- paint my nails straight away with the same colour.

NOTD: The Boltons

Today I am going to be sharing another NOTD with you. This week’s NOTD features another Nails Inc polish as you will probably know these are my favourite nail polishes to wear. 

The Boltons is a metallic red shade. It is quite a festive shade and I didn’t really realise until I had it on my nails just how Christmassy it looked. I really like the Nails Inc Gel Effect range and I have a few polishes in this range. The formula is slightly thicker than the other polishes but this doesn’t seem to affect the drying time too much. I probably could have got away with just one coat of this polish but I always do 2 just to be on the safe side. The Gel Effect polishes last really well and I only really change them because I am bored rather than because I need to. 

I will be wearing this so much over the festive season as this is the perfect shade of red. I think it would look really good with a gold or silver glittery top coat.

NOTD: Wild Strawberry

I picked up this Revlon  polish  from Poundland which is a great place for getting some nail polish bargains. I do like the Revlon polishes and I have quite the collection of them but I would be unwilling to buy them full price. 

Today I am sharing the shade Wild Strawberry (070) with you. I like the Revlon polishes as they have the wide brush which makes application really easy. I love pink polishes and this is a gorgeous bright fuchsia pink. This particular polish seemed a lot thinner than the other Revlon polishes I have tried but I still only needed 2 coats of it for it to be fully opaque. 

This polish lasted really well on my nails and the only reason I changed it was because I fancied wearing a different colour. This shade is absolutely gorgeous and I loved how bright it was which makes it a perfect shade for spring/summer.

NOTD: Fiesta

Today I have an NOTD for you. I am using Nails Inc Fiesta which I got in Marie Claire a few months ago. I have been really enjoying switching the colour of my nail polish recently 

As you know I love pink polishes and this is a lovely shade. It is a dark pink which is my favourite type of polish to wear. I am a huge fan of Nails Inc polishes, they have a great formula; opaque in 2 coats. They are long lasting and will last up to a week without chipping. 

I really liked this colour and I am glad I picked it up I do have others similar to this shade but not from Nails Inc.

On a side note I am really loving Nails Inc’s rebrand they have changed the bottles and they look a lot more high end now the only downside the new bottles don't match the others in my collection!

NOTD: Skinny Jeans

I love ELF nail polishes they are an amazing quality and are super affordable. I saw the shade Skinny Jeans on their Facebook page and I knew I had to have it as it was a gorgeous blue. 

I am in love with this shade of blue it is so beautiful. It has a very glossy finish to it which I love. I love the wide brush on this polish as it makes the application very easy. I found I only needed 2 coats of this for it to be fully opaque. This polish lasted a very long time about a week on my nails which is very impressive for a budget polish. I think I will get a lot of wear out of this colour this spring/summer as it is so pretty. I found that this polish dried pretty quickly as well.

NOTD: L'Oreal Atomic Purple

Today I am going to be sharing an NOTD using L’Oreal’s Atomic Purple. I don’t own a lot of purple shades and when I saw this in Poundland I thought I would pick it up. 

The shade of purple is really nice. It is a very bright shade almost neon. I really liked the colour but that is where my love for this nail polish ends. 

I normally really like L’Oreal polishes one of my favourites is called You Are Worth It. They have a really wide brush which makes application really easy. Atomic Purple has a wide brush but the consistency was rubbish I needed 4 coats of it to make it opaque normally I only do 2. 

The biggest let down for me was that this shade dries matte. If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that I hate matte nails. I really dislike the texture and I much prefer a smooth glossy finish. If I had known that this was a matte polish I would not have picked it up. Luckily I only paid £1 for it so I haven’t lost too much. It is a shame though as I really do like the colour.

NOTD: Revlon Vintage Rose

Today I am sharing with you what I was wearing on my nails. I have quite a few polishes from Revlon that I have picked up in Poundland. They have a great shade range to choose from. 

The shade Vintage Rose is a dusky pink shade but unlike a lot of the dusky pink shades that I own this is slightly darker. If I am honest I was not a massive fan of this shade. I don’t know what it was about it but I wasn’t that keen on the colour. If I wear pinks I either prefer something lighter or a bright pink. 

I like Revlon polishes from the Colourstay line as they have a wide brush which makes the application really easy. I used two coats of this for the colour to be fully opaque. I find these polishes to be pretty long lasting this lasted me just over a week before it started to chip. 

The finish was really smooth and glossy something which I really look for in a nail polish as I can not stand matte nails. Sometimes I think my base coat really helps contribute to the glossy finish. I use the Nailgirls 3 in 1 Base Coat, Top Coat and Nail Strengthener which I got in a Glossybox. I really want to try the new one from Collection so I’d be interested to hear if anyone has tried it.

NOTD: High Tide

Today I am sharing with you what I am wearing on my nails. I got this polish in a set for Christmas a few years, the set is by Fearne Cotton. 

The shade I am sharing with you today is High Tide which is a gorgeous dark blue. This is a gorgeous dark blue shade, a deep indigo that can at times look a bit purple in certain lights. 

This polish applied really well and I only needed 2 coats. I found this polish to be quite long lasting it lasted about 5 days. 

I think that this polish is absolutely gorgeous. I am in love with the colour and I don’t have anything else like it in my collection.

NOTD: Nails Inc Argyll Street

I have another Nails Inc polish to share with you this week I bet you are getting tired of seeing Nails Inc polishes on my blog but they really are my favourite. 

I got this a while ago as part of their lucky dip offer that have. Argyll Street is a really interesting colour and nothing like anything else I own. It is a grey/black colour that is sparkly. In some lights the sparkles look green. I am absolutely in love with this shade it is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. 

It is so different from what I would normally choose but I think it looks really pretty and I like how in different lights it looks a different colour. It is really long lasting as a lot of Nails Inc polishes. If you can get your hands on this shade then I really recommend it.

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.

NOTD: OPI Diva of Geneva

I don’t have a lot of OPI nail polishes and the ones I do have I have bought from places such as Fragrance Direct and Poundland. Although they have a really impressive shade range I don’t think that I would ever spend £11.95 on one polish unless the shade was really unique.

Diva of Geneva is a really pretty colour it’s a sparkly plum colour. It is a bit like a duo-chrome polish. In different lights the colour looks different. I really like the colour and think that it is a lovely colour for this time of year. 

The colour reminded me a bit of NO7 Damson Dream unfortunately I don’t have it with me at uni to compare the two. Like the one from NO7 I found that this chipped really quickly. I find that a lot of the OPI polishes I have chip really easily compared to other polishes. 

I like the brushes of OPI polishes they are the wide brushes which makes application so much easier. The wear time of them really does let them down though this lasted me about 3 or 4 days before it started to chip. Most polishes I wear usually last a week on my so it is quite disappointing when it chips so quickly.  This shade was part of the 2010 Swiss Fall Collection so if you wanted to pick up this shade you’d have to look on Ebay and other similar websites to find it.

Although the shade range is impressive OPI nail polishes are just not my favourite. My favourite more expensive polishes are from Nails Inc as they have a wide range of colours and finishes although I wouldn't get them full price. I am always really reluctant to spend more than £5 on a polish unless it is really special am I the only one?

NOTD: Bare Bones and Aurora

Bare Bones by Revlon has quickly become one of my favourite nail polishes. Whenever I can’t decide what to wear I pick this. It is a really nice nude colour that works really well with my skin tone. 

Although by itself Bare Bones is really pretty I like to add a touch of sparkle. This time I used the Rimmel Space Dust in Aurora which is a gorgeous pink and silver glitter. Aurora had been on my wishlist for a while and I was lucky enough to find it in Poundland. 

Aurora is sort of glitter that you could wear by itself but I prefer to apply it on top of another colour as it makes it easier to remove. This combination lasted really well on my nails and I didn’t find it too difficult to remove. I think I will definitely wear this combination again as I really loved it.

NOTD: Marylebone Mews and Westminster Abbey

I got Marylebone Mews in a Glamour magazine when they were giving away free Nails Inc polishes. Marylebone Mews is a really pretty grey with lilac undertones. It is a very unusual colour and I don’t have anything like it in my collection. 

I really liked the colour and I decided to add a gold accent nail and I chose to use Westminster Abbey. I only needed 2 coats of it and it lasts well over a week before it started chipping. Westminster Abbey is a gold colour but it is very interesting to look at because it has flecks of other colours in it so in different lights it looks different. 

I really liked this colour combination and I have really enjoyed wearing Marylebone Mews I have repainted my nails with it a couple of times. I think it makes a nice change from the normal colours on my nails as it is not something I would normally reach for.

NOTD: Fall Mood

Today I am sharing with you an NOTD. I have quite a few nail polishes from the Revlon Colourstay line and I really like them. The quality of the polishes is really good, they are long lasting and they apply smoothly with a wide brush. I don’t think I would ever pay full price for them though as I don’t like to spend more than £5 on one polish. 

You can often pick up these Revlon polishes in Poundland and other similar shops. They have a fantastic range of colours, there is something for everyone in this range. 

Today I am talking about the shade Fall Mood (140). Fall Mood is a gorgeous copper/ gold/ rose gold colour it depends which light you look at it in. I love it when a polish appears a different colour in different lights as it makes it a little bit more special. This is the perfect ‘Fall’ colour as it reminds me of the changing colour of the leaves but I think it is also suitable for winter as well. 

You only need 2 coats for this to be fully opaque, you can actually get away with just 1 coat but I prefer to apply 2 as I find that this makes a nail polish last longer. Despite it being a glittery polish it wasn't too difficult to remove.
