My Tiny Nail Polish Collection!


So I thought I would show you my pretty small nail polish collection. I just recently have been getting into nails so its definitely a growing collection and in a years time I can do another one and see how much more I've collected!


These are all more of my 'bright' nail polishes. To start off with I have the Rimmel 60 Second nail polish in Peachella, this shade is hands down my favourite colour ever, I can wear this over and over again and never get bored of it! It's a peachy coral shade and I normally do about 2 coats with this to get an even finish although sometimes I find it may need 3, for me this does last a good 5-7 days too!
As you can see I do love my BarryM nail polishes too as I feel like they are amazing quality for the price. The first one I have is just from their original nail polishes and it is in the shade Strawberrie Ice. It's a very nice light pink shade but I feel like this needs a fair few coats to get an opaque finish and for me it does take quite a while to dry which can be a bit annoying because I hate waiting around for nail polish to dry!
I then have two nail polishes from their Gelly High Shine range and I really love the formula of these, they obviously have a gel like formula and you can get away with one coat if you apply a thick layer. It doesn't take super long to dry which is a huge plus and the two colours that I own are Greenberry and Grapefruit, these are beautiful bright colours that I absolutely love!


These are the last few that I own! The first one is a Loreal Colour Riche Nail Polish in 408 Exquisite Scarlet, I would describe this as a true red colour and I love it for them times where you don't want a pinky red and you don't want an orangey red, just a true red and it really makes a staple to any look! Again, you need about 2 coats with this nail polish but I do really love this one!
Next I have another BarryM polish but this one is from the magnetic range that came out quite a while ago now and I thought the concept of it was very cool and like nothing I had seen before! I have the shade Venus Sunset which is a grey kind of colour with red shimmer running through it and it is so gorgeous, all you have to do with this is apply two coats of it and straight after the second coat, you hover the magnetic lid of the nail polish on top of your nails for a few seconds, then it comes out with a really cool effect!
Lastly I just have a Topshop Base & Top Coat. This is nothing special and I have to say that this isn't the best but it is just the one I have now and it works as base and top coat decently! A top coat I have on my wish list is definitely the Seche Vite Top Coat which everyone raves about!

So that concludes all the nail polishes I have in my tiny collection! How many do you have?

Stila In The Moment Eyeshadow Pallete!

I have had this pallete for quite a while trying it out and testing all the colours so I thought it was about time I did a review on it! In this range of Stila palletes the 'In the light' Pallete I would say is the most popular but I really liked the purple tones in this Pallete so I had to get this one which is the Stila In The Moment Pallete!


The packaging on this pallete is cardboard and has a magnetic closure, its fairly thin which is great for traveling purposes but the magnetic closure is quite weak so anything could make it open quite easily which would also make it slightly less convenient for travelling!


The colours in this are so gorgeous. You get the top row full of beautiful purple tones from light to dark then the bottom row full of amazing golden warm tones and I think the shades are to die for! The colour selection is very well thought out and that is a huge plus onto this pallete! You also get a purple eyeliner with this pallete which is a very nice creamy eyeliner that goes with all the looks you can create with this pallete!
These are the eyeshadows swatched. The top row has no primer underneath and the bottom row has primer underneath so you can see if wearing a primer under these shadows help the vibrancy of the shadows at all and I have to say that without a primer they are definitely not as intense as they can be!

 
Although the colours are ever so gorgeous, the main thing you need in eyeshadows are pigmentation and blend-ability and although they have swatched on my hand pretty well (which I was surprised about) when they go onto the eye the pigmentation of only some of them are very disappointing. I feel like the top row and the bottom row have completely different formulations as the top row of eyeshadows (especially the middle bright purple colour) has barely any pigmentation, then when you try to pack it on it becomes hard to blend although surprisingly the first eyshadow in this pallete -the bright white shade- is the most pigmented eyeshadow in the entire pallete! The bottom row is slightly better in pigmentation but it isn't the best you can find especially with the price tag of this product!
Overall some of these shadows are not so good but half of them are not bad and you can make use out of them so it just depends on weather you have the budget to splurge on such a pallete or not!
 
Have you tried this pallete? What are your thoughts?
