Product Review - NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Colour

 

Everytime I go to buy one of these products, theyre always on sale, which is why I love Superdrug. They must see me coming! I love these products. I honestly don't have a bad word to say about them, I will say though that their lasting power isn't the best but not the worse, which I don't mind because it doesn't bother me having to reapply, it's no hassel. 

I love the fact that for the price, which is at most, £2.99, but on sale they're only £1.99, they're really good. They smell lovely, kind of like vanilla or something like that, the texture is really smooth and goes on really evenly and the pigmentation is wonderful. 
The three shades I have are: 031 Gramercy Park Plum. 030 Metropolitan Mauve. 010 Nolita Neutral

So for only a few pound each, they're fabulous, I intend to buy a lot more of these, especially coming into winter :)

Nail Polishes for Summer

Throughout this summer I've really been loving wearing pastel shades on my nails - I don't know why, I just prefer them over the ott bright shades but in saying that - I have worn one particular bright shade which I just love! 

I've also loved experimenting with nail art over the summer as well - ust because it really adds to a look especially if it's to match an outfit your wearing or to just jazz up an outfit and to add something unique to the look :)

The first two polishes are from the brand misssporty and I believe they're part of their summer collection - they're really lovely colours and are also pastel shades unfortunetly though they don't have any names.

The next polish is from Collection and from their Hot Looks 60 second range and it's in the shade candyfloss  which is a really nice pastel pink - I don't know wear this one very often as it does tend to go quite gloopy really fast, but it is very nice

The next polish is from Barry M and the Gelly range. I absoloutely love colour - it's the one I have been reaching for the most especially when I'm tan because it looks lovely. It's in the shade rosehip and is a lovely pale pink

This next polish I also love and have worn it quite a lot - its from NYC and is in the shade Blue Sky. It's a really nice pastel blue and is the nicest pastel blue that I have been able to find in the drugstore.

Again this polish from Collection and it's from the Work the Colour range. I love this colour - I do have an e.l.f. lilac shade but its not very opaque and I would have to do about three layers to get a really nice intensity but with this polish the intensity is really nice even with one coat. It's in the shade Lilac Daze

The last polish is from e.l.f and is a really nice nude which I would use quite a lot as a base for doing nail art because I think it helps to add to the intensity of it. I do also wear this on it's own with no nail art and it still looks very nice. It's in the shade Desert Haze

The bright shade I have been loving throughout the summer is from Rimmel and their Lasting Finish range in the shade 504 It's a Scorcher. I love this colour - it's a really bright orange with a slight shimmer to it and it looks so lovely with and without tan - which is definately a bonus. 

Below are just some pictures of the nail art I have been loving throughout the summer also

 

NYC Nail Varnishes

As I'm sure most of you know by now, I'm a huge lover and believer in drugstore products. In my opinion - I think the majority of the brands/products you can buy in the drugstore are as good as - or even better than the high end products/brands and are obviously much kinder to your purse! 

With that being said, I though I'd share with you one of my favourite brands ever for nail varnishes and that brand is... NYC (New York Colour) I believe this is originally an American brand but as most brands do - they venture out to other countries and can be found mainly in Superdrug in the UK.

This is an image of my NYC nail varnishes - I have 13 colours which I have absolutely adore! There are a few that's perfect for autumn/winter and a few that are perfect for spring/summer. This is one of the main reasons why I love NYC - they bring out different colours for the different seasons which really helps to broaden your collection in size and variety.

If you do have NYC in your local drugstore I would highly recommend you give their polishes a try! :)
