Butter London Snog Swatches and Review

Hello, now I warn you if you are a Butter London fan you might want to skip this whole chunk as you will not enjoy it...
So after my last Butter London disaster I thought I would give Snog a chance so I went into it with an open mind and yet I found myself thoroughly disappointed again. I don't know if I have two deffective bottles or everyone else is deluded but I really am not a fan of Snog. The formula was really thin and kind of watery, hard to control and then I didn't like the colour either, too garish I thought I would like it as it looks so lovely on everyone else but it's too much pink for me to handle. I honestly had a horrible time doing my nails with this polish, I only did one coat as I knew I was going to be doing Illamasqua-esque mani but even so I really didn't like it :( meh I found the whole experience of application bleurgh. 

As I said this is only one coat.....
However I had a far better time with Max Factor Intense Plum which I received as part of the free gift, I love this purple! It applied super smooth and easily, the formula was lovely much better than BL. The only problem I had was trying to hold the miniature bottle when taking pictures! Pah.

 I like this mani because for some reason it reminds me of leg warmers, like my nails have leg warmers on haha. I think that pink and purple are an age old combination for a reason, they work well together and the purple does a good job of toning down the pink. 


I just can't get over my bad Butter London experiences :( I want to get rid of them so if anyone wants to swap for them, I would be more than happy to! 
  

Butter London Bluey Swatches and Review

Good Afternoon, today I have a not so glowing review :(. I'll give you the pictures first incase you don't want to read the bad stuff.

 

So I put Bluey on yesterday around 3pm my basecoat was completely dry so I put on one thin ish coat and let it dry except it didn't dry...3 hours later and it was still dentable. I couldn't wait any longer so I put another coat and it still wasn't dry when I went to sleep around 11pm!! That's at least 7 hours! When I woke up this morning I really wasn't loving it, it was covered in sheet marks and dents and I didn't love the colour either. 
It's a teal shimmery colour, it's nice enough but I don't know I'm just not loving it, it sparkles nicely in the light, it looks darker in the shade. Honestly I think I'm just biased because of my bad experience but everyone else seemed to have a good time with it so it can't be that bad, right? 
I'm going to remove it now and put on an old favourite Barry M Navy, gah I love it so much, I'll show you later. 
Have a good day/night :P

Vday is over! Accessorize Sapphire Swatches and Review

Good evening, I don't know about you but I'm over Vday, probably because I live with my boyfriend every day and we go to the same uni so I see him everyday and he treats me everyday so Valentines isn't really that special for us. So I got bored of my mani and replaced it with a polish I was quite skeptical to try Accessorize Sapphire, I've never paid attention to these polishes, the colours were too bland I guess but when I saw this I knew I had to have it. 


All of these are taken with artificial lighting and NO topcoat..

These pictures are colour (and shine) accurate! Sapphire is a grey-blue (?) with amazing silver-blue shimmery particles. 

Gah! Isn't it soooo gorgeous! So sparkly and glowy I am genuinely in lurrrrve. This is one perfect polish. 1. Application is AMAZING, so smooth,no clean up required. 2. This is a one coater just as it claims to be! 3. It dried within a couple of minutes, fully dried no smudging or anything within 3 minutes! 4. The colour! The shine! 5. The price £4....Bargain! Ugh I'm just overwhelmed by it all. This would be great if you were in a rush, seriously you need this in your life hahahah.

I'm sure they have more colours and I believe they have a hot pink metalized one as well which would be amazing. 

I cannot recommend this enough, please go out and get it, you will not regret it :). I'm going to hunt for the others now :P.

Also today I bought 3 Sinful colors and 2 Butter Londons with free delivery for the UK! I got them from www.naturisimo.com for £9.60 each so that's 40p less than Boots website plus free delivery. I must have been living under a rock to not know that Boots.com sells Butter London polishes at £10 each but they only have a limited range as do naturisimo but limited is better than international shipping costs ;). 

If you too were living under a rock like I was till my London trip you can buy OPIs from Colourcopia in Westfield Stratford and Selfrigdes and the website www.lenawhite.co.uk sells them for £11 which makes no sense to me but you get what you're given and all that. 

Seeyou all soon!
