Ebay nail polish rack

 So today I bring you my new acrylic nail polish stand! I've been dying for some sort of nail stand/rack but everyone I came across seemed ridiculously priced. This is from Ebay and cost me £10.99 including P+P, you can buy it here. I currently have 31 nail polishes sitting on this, a decent amount! I think I'll probably buy another along the way at some point, can't beat a nice polish display in your room! I must say I have gone off Barry M nail varnishes so much now. I hate how they're still not properly dry and easily smudged after an hours wear, whereas OPI dries in like, 10 minutes! A bit of a pain really when they're so affordable and with such a wide range of colours! Where do you keep your nail polish? Holly x

Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in Funtime Fuschia

Oh my god am I obsessed with this lipstick! Gorgeous blue undertones = instant teeth whitening! I was browsing the Rimmel stand in a Pharmacy near mine looking for a new lipstick and this one instantly caught my eye! This Rimmel lipstick doesn't have the same sickly scent the that their lasting finish ones have, which was a plus as the smell of those make me feel a little ill. Still that horrible typical powdery makeup smell but I'd rather that than sickly sweet!

I didn't find this drying at all and it lasted me AGES! I paired this with a little bit of Mac's Currant lipliner to help it stay and to add a bit of depth, but honestly, it didn't really need it in the first place. After a while I found it kind of dried/set to almost a matt finish, which I don't prefer but I can't resist the colour.I'm planning on getting a lot of wear out of this as I see it as a fun Summer colour, but also a slightly vampy lip colour for colder months? I' not sure?! All I know is that I LOVE THIS. It's so affordable too, at £5.29.  I forget you can get some brilliant high street lip colours without having to splurge £13.50 on a Mac lipstick.

Boots heated rollers

I've been dying for heated rollers for I don't know how long now! On Saturday I got Boots own heated rollers, also called "Style solutions". Had a bit of a mare the first time I used them though! You get 3 different sized rollers, and 3 different sized grips to secure them in place with. Being too over excited to use them I went straight ahead and grabbed the biggest roller and....the hair grip for the smallest roller. Every now and again I'd hear a PING, my roller would drop out, and the hair grip would have flown off to the other end of my bedroom! I thought the different coloured tips at the bottom of the grips were to make them lok nice, not to represent a size difference! Can't even believe I'm admitting this major fail on the internet.

A full 24 hours of sulking over rollers later, I tried again and this time noticed that whole grip/roller situation. After that everything went perfectly! Insanely good value for money when you see these Enrapture rollers over the internet which I think are something like £60+. These were £22.99 and did the job perfectly. They took about 10 minutes to heat up and there's a handy little red dot on one of the rollers that goes grey when they're ready for use. They're pretty hot but you would have to stick your finger inside the roller to do any major damage, as I was considering getting some heat proof gloves to use with them!

If you've always wanted to try these out then I definetely recommend these! I can't compare them to any other brand as I havn't tried any others out, but these seem to be the cheapest, and I've seen and heard a lot of good things about them. I also filmed a Youtube video doing a demo with these rollers! Click here to watch it!

Mac Blush in Style

Described as a "Coral-peach with gold pearl" (Frost finish) Style, is without a doubt my most favourite Blush of all time. It's silky to touch, blends beautifully and is easily buildable to acheive your desired look. Even though it's still only March, people seem to be more excited for Summer than ever, so if you want to embrace the summer season and warm weather already, Style can bring a lovely peachy golden glow to your cheeks.

If overdone this can look a bit orange, and if you're too tanned I also find this Blush gets a bit lost in your tan. I'm not the type of person to pile cheek products on so even a hint of this showing through a tan works wonderfully for me. If you're not swayed by my pictures and don't already own this, I highly recommend swatching this product!

OPI Pirates of the Caribbean - Steady as she rose

 Lately I've been obsessed with any polish that may fall in to the "nudes" category and this one to me does! I have no idea where they got Rose from, I see no Rose colours in this varnish at all! To be honest, I can't quite put my finger on what colour this actually is. I would say a very light lilacy grey colour? Hmm. None the less, it's absolutely gorgeous and right up my street! On the first application I found it to be a little streaky, not a major problem, as after the second coat it's pretty much a nice smooth coat. As usual with OPI polishes, this drys incredibly fast! Which to me is great. I'm becoming more and more intolerable towards Barry M's polishes which can still be dented I find even after an hour of being on your nail!  I always hate paying £10 for any nail polish but I love OPI so much. If you have a look on the internet you can usually get them 1 or 2 pounds cheaper from places like Ebay. Just make sure it's a trusted seller as the fakes on Ebay are ridiculous. Holly x

Galaxy nails without the effort!

I always get so jealous when I see people uploading pictures of their nail art, where they have beautiful, long, healthy nails, and always have great designs like the famous "galaxy nails" design, newspaper nails, etc. I've tried these galaxy nails before and not only do they require a sh*t ton of effort, mine just never seem to turn out right either. I've had this nail varnish since Christmas now, and I've never noticed this until recently, but how much does the nail varnish in the bottle look all galaxy/starry sky like? Perfect for a quick coat and there you have it - galaxy nails without all the effort. This varnish is called Gypsy night, and you can buy it from Topshop here for £6. It's a really beautiful nail varnish anyway, and is good to go after 2 coats. 1 coat is a bit too sheer but it's easily buildable and gives a beautiful finish. I'm sorry it doesn't show up so well on my nails, but I promise it's beautiful in real life.
