Moyra Nail Haul

Hey!
Isnt nail mail just the best type of mail ever?! Well it beats bills, I can tell you that!

a couple of weeks ago Moyra UK had a sale. 30% off every polish, so that made each polish only £2.10 each! Deal or what!?

I have used Moyra polishes before (review HERE) and I use their nail art brushes all the time. The polishes are fab quality for the price. They have a wide range of effects and colours. I especially like the Sands and Gel effect.

Here is what I got...


I have also ordered a few others, but they are not released until next weekend. 

I have already had a little play with these and I can say I am very happy with the quality for the price. 
Even at full price (£3) they work out cheaper than BarryM effect polishes and I can safely say I prefer these. As you all may know I hate BarryM Gelly polishes with a passion, the newer ones anyway. The formula sucks butt. They are streaky yet thick!? 
The Moyra Gel Look formula is so much better. The pink one above(919) is a one coater pretty much and not thick at all. 

I cannot fault these really. 

I will have some nail art using these to show you very soon! 

Moyra is available in the UK exclusively from Aliz on FACEBOOK (website coming soon) 
All polishes are £3 each and the postage is £3 for up to 25 polishes :)

Fantasy Unicorn Nail Art

This has got to be the cutest, most girly nail art I have ever done!





I used some nail vinyl stencils from She Sells Seashells for the unicorn. I know I have been doing loads of reviews for Nail Stickrs recently but of course they are not the only supplier and they do different stencils too. She Sells Sea Shells is also based in the UK.
They were easy to use and I got a great result too! I used Konad stamping polish in white to do them as it covers better than other whites.


You also get the cut outs left in the middle so they can be used as stickers :) 

I used Zoya Robyn, Unnamed Color Club Glitter, Essie Cascade Cool and Zoya Mira

I used Essie Cascade Cool as the base. Its such a powdery sweet pink. I really love it. Then used a sponge to splodge on the two +Zoya Nail Polish. Topped off with the Color Club glitter.
I hate that they don't label half the Color Clubs! I think its all the ones that come in sets that remain unnamed.

The metal charms are from eBay. I think I payed like £1 for a wheel with loads of different designs.

What do you think of my unicorn fantasy nails? I LOVE them!

I think I may be turning into an actual girly girl! HELP!

You can browse and buy various stencils and other nail art items from She Sells Seashells HERE

Royal Bow


 I have been so ill this week I haven't had chance to do anything! So here is my first nail art, a red, white and blue mani with a bow. 
This really reminds me of a English Royal celebration with the colours and confetti type topcoat. 

Unfortunately the blue i used for the bow smudged a bit when i added the Poshe topcoat. 

I used;
Base colour: OPI's Red Lights Ahead,Where? 
Confetti: InVougue feather Effect in Jaye Bird
Bow: Barry M's Gelly Nail Paint in Blackberry, Barry M Nail Art Pens in Black and White. 

I absolutely love this design, and I really like the InVogue Feather Effect on top of the red. It really reminds me of England!
The OPI looks orange in this light and it is really more of a bright red, but for some reason i couldnt really capture this on my camera.

You can purchase the whole InVogue range in Superdrug and HERE
 Here the colour of the OPI is a lot more accurate.



Jaye Bird By InVogue


 I received this lovely polish from Nick at ohbeauty.co.uk.
This is Jaye Bird from Invogue Feathers.
It features strands of blue and white glitter. The polish has a high density of glitter so its easy to position and get a full coverage. I did use four coats though, just to get the placement right.
It can be used on it own or over another polish. 
I wouldn't have called it feather effect, i would have called it Sprinkles! As to me it looks like cake sprinkles!
Pictured here alone with one coat of Poshe topcoat.

This polish is really pretty and completely different to the other polishes I have seen, as a lot of glitter polishes don't have this type of coverage.


This polish, along with the whole InVogue range, is available HERE for £4.49 with FREE UK postage :)

 Reminds me of streamer or sprinkles on cakes. It also reminds me of the Queens Jubilee?! Very royal colours!



*some of these products were sent to me for an HONEST review. The views on this product are COMPLETELY my own.*

InVogue Matt Concrete Effect Nails

 
 Received this in the post today,nail mail!!
I Purchased a few InVogue Polishes from +Fragrance Direct as id never seen them before but they are only £2.50. How can you resist that?!
When OPI brought out liquid sand i really didn't like the idea of having a textured nail but i must say i actually liked Spellbound by InVogue, the colour is really bright and looks fantastic. I couldnt stop looking at them and toching them.Even my son kept touching them "ooo bumpy!"
The overall effect is matt. Iveadded a topcoat to the ring finger so you could see the difference between the matt and shiny effects.
It was as annoying as glitter polish to remove but it was surprisingly easier when removing the one with a top coat on.
All in all i would wear this again as the colour is so beautiful and bright.
