Pink Diamonds by Makeup Gallery

Only 3 sleeps till Santa 🎅🏼
I'm so excited, I have a few small gifts to wrap for my daughter, then just sit back and wait!

Today I'm writing about a budget brand of makeup, let's step to it...

Pink Diamonds by Makeup Gallery - Time to Shine.
I love the Dazzling Feather effect from this Dot & Strand Holo Glitter.
Clear formula, the majority of the glitter is Cerise Pink strands with tiny dots of Pink & Holo.

Easy to apply, I used 2 thin coats over previous mani, OPI's Kitty White.
The end result makes the base of Kitty White look a bright silver chrome in certain lights.
Perfect Party Nails!

Natural Light
Artificial Light

About Makeup Gallery:-
They are Poundland's own Brand of Cosmetics retailing at ta dah yep just £1...
The Nail Range includes, Cuticle Oil, Nail Hardener, Top Coats in Gloss and Matte.
Lipstick, Mascara, Concealer, Eyeliner etc etc
I've only bought a few nail polishes, this being the first I've tried.
I'd give 5 Stars to Poundland for making beauty affordable!

Top Coat Leighton Denny - Crystal Finish

Have you tried any of this range of makeup? What are your thoughts?
I'm definitely going to try some other of their items soon.

Wishing you all a Magical Christmas

Kitty White from OPI's Hello Kitty

Hello how's it going? It's an exciting weekend in my house! The Christmas Tree is finally going up!

I've just done a quick mani using Kitty White from OPI's Hello Kitty - Collectors Edition.
It took 2 coats to get a nice coverage and was easy to apply.
This polish has an Enchanting Shimmery Pearl effect! Very sweet, I think every girl should have this in their collection!
If you want to buy this lovely polish, I've spotted it on Nail Polish Direct for just £4.95 Full 15ml size! That's a Crazy bargain! Shop here

Sparkles & Chrome

Hi lovelies, another Festive Mani today! I simply can't resist the Glitters and Sparkles, let's be honest December is an excuse to go as crazy as you like with your nails!

Some of you may know that Models Own had a sale over the Black Friday weekend.
I took the opportunity to buy their HoloChrome Collection of Polishes in all 5 shades. I'll be writing about them soon.
I also bought a Chrome polish in Copper and a GlitterGel in Shade Crystal Pink. I've used them in today's mani.

Firstly I painted all nails except my ring finger in Chrome Copper. I didn't like the way it applied, it left lots of streaking and marks throughout!
On the ring fingers I used Moyou London - White Knight.
The 2nd coat of Chrome applied easier, however I couldn't get the smooth flawless finish I have seen in photos on Instagram! I was still left with some slight brush marks, hopefully I'll master the art of application the more I use this type of polish!
I found 2 coats of Copper Chrome and White Knight to be ample.
Next I painted 1 coat of GlitterGel onto the index nails. It's named Pink Crystal but looks more like Rose Gold to me, it's very pretty. Having said that, the Copper Chrome is much lighter than I expected, lovely all the same.
The stamping stage was a pain to say the least! I couldn't get the Chrome to pick up onto the stamper. So after many tries I opened a sweet little bauble gift I picked up in Primark a few weeks ago, containing a bottle of PS... Metallic Rose. It worked a flipping treat and saved the day!
Top Coat and Done...


Base Coat - OPI Nail Envy
Top Coat - Seche Vite

I hope your Sunday is a good one, see you soon.
