{Nails} Models Own - Ibiza Mix

I have been having a stressful time lately, my mind is playing tricks on me and causing panic attacks, so I have been working on my blog layout today to try and distract myself. What do you think?

I held off on buying this polish for a long time, I just wasn't that into glitters and didn't understand the hype, I don't even own Rainbow Connection which I feel I should as a beauty blogger! But I am slowly getting into glitters so thought I'd finally buy this.

I wore it over a nude polish as I saw another blogger do it (I can't remember who i'm afraid) and I think it looks amazing!



This is one coat of Ibiza Mix over two coats of Models Own Nude Beige. It is an amazing polish! I have been wearing this since Friday and it has not chipped once, that's 4 days so far. If there is anyone else who doesn't own this then buy it now!

{Nails} Accessorize - Apricot Crush

I haven't looked at the Accessorize stand for a while, in my Superdrug it always seems empty and they haven't added any new products for a while. But today was different, the nail polish racks seemed to have more products than usual and they appeared to have some new shades, one immediately jumped out at me.


This pinky peach shade is lovely, and perfect for Spring/Summer, but application wasn't great. I'm not a huge fan of the Accessorize brush and handle, and this one was no different, I find the bottle lid quite hard to use to get a good application and usually end up with it all over my cuticles.


On the plus side though it only cost me £2.95, I'm sure Accessorize polishes were £4 when I last bought one, and £2.95 isn't bad for something this pretty.

{Nails} No7 Gold Top Coat

This was a gift from the lovely Laura, I had been stalking my Boots store for these but they were always out of stock, so I was very excited to see this in my little gift box!


I had already planned how I was going to wear this if I got hold of it (yes obsessed I know), and that was over a green, OPI Mermaid Tears in fact. This was 2 coats of Mermaid Tears, and 1 coat of the No7 Gold Top Coat, it was a bit of a nuisance to place the glitter but not too bad. This had a lovely jelly effect once it had a top coat on.

Sadly it did chip quite easily, a few of the glitter chunks came off and took all the polish underneath it with it so I did end up with chunks missing. And obviously it was a nightmare to remove, but it's worth it!

{Nails} OPI - Princesses Rule

Sometimes I get sick of bright colours (quite often actually), but find plain neutrals not enough, this is where Princesses Rule comes in. This sparkly pink is lovely, neutral but still attracts attention, and I love the name!


I believe this was 3 coats, but only because I wanted as much sparkle as possible, it was opaque in 2 coats. Now I just need some sunshine so I can actually see it sparkle!
