Primark P.S Love Nail Art Pen Trio | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!!!

When Primark recently released their bargain makeup collection they also brought out lots of nail polishes and nail goodies for all of us girls who love that perfect mani without paying a fortune. So when I saw the Nail Art Pens they went straight into my basket he he, I've had my little set of 3 Primark Nail Art Pens for what seems like ages now, so today I thought it was about time I reviewed them for you all.

The Primark P.S Love Nail Art Pens are just £2.00 for a set of 3, yup that's right, just £2.00!! There are two colour variations to choose from, the set I picked up contained a pink, white and black or you can get a set that contains a gold, silver and black however... in my local Primark some of the packs where mixed and the set that I picked up some had a mint green pen instead of the black pen, weird? I went with the set with the black pen instead of the green as I thought black is a pretty popular/standard colour for nail art.

The packaging of the nail art pens is very simple, they all have squeezy style plastic bottles with each bottle holding 6ml's worth of polish inside. You can use the nail art pens in two ways, you can either screw off the lid entirely which reveals long, striper style bristles or you can pull of the top of the lid to use the small metal nib for precise work, just a heads up, the lid at the top of the nail art pens that you need to pull off to reveal the precise nib is extremely stiff, so just be careful when pulling at it as you can end up squirting nail polish everywhere during your battle ha ha.

As for the formula of the polish inside these little nail art pens... It's great! All the shades are completely opaque, even the white is lovely and bright which is great because with nail art it can be difficult if you need to go over something precise such as writing, stripes or dots so the fact the pens are opaque makes life so much easier. The consistency of the polish isn't too thick or thin, it just perfect and easy to use, however all the pens do have a VERY STRONG nail polish scent which can sometimes be rather overpowering and get down the back of my throat which isn't nice. The quality of the bristles that are used for striping are OK, I've not experienced any shedding although my white striper came with an extra long bristle sticking out from the rest, so I had to trim that back with scissors which wasn't a major. 

Overall I'm really impressed with just how much you can do and create with these little pens, and if like me, you are new to nail art then these little bargain trio's are fab to practise with.

Revlon Nail Art | Moon Candy

Hey girlie's!!

As you may already know I'm a huge Revlon nail polish fan so when i saw these cute duel ended beauties i was in nail polish heaven and had to treat myself to one. There are a few different types of these duel ended polishes to choose from like Expressionist which has an extra skinny brush for more detailed work and nail art, Neon which comes with a neutral base and then a bright neon shade for the accent nail and then Moon Candy which has the chunky glitter. My most obvious choice was Moon Candy as I'm such a glitter girl, i loveee me some sparkle!!!!

I opted for '240 Eclipse' which has a deep purple/plum base on one end and a gorgeous blue/purple/pink chunky foil glitter top coat that gives a 3D effect, i think the combination of the 2 work so well together and looks so pretty. Personally i think this is more of an Autumn/Winter shade but i think it would be perfect for nights out all year round too.

So what are my thoughts on this polish???? Well... The base coat applies well but you need 2 coats for it to be completely opaque and the drying time was rather quick. As for the glittery top coat... I found it quite hard to apply as the flakes of iridescent glitter don't always go where you want them too and also i found you need to layer up the coats as one coat gets your barely any glitter at all, drying time was also quite long as the glitter polish is alot thicker than your average top coat. The lasting power i found to be really good, mine lasted a good 4 days without any noticeable chipping and it stayed nice and glitzy too without any glitter chipping off.

I love the packaging, the fact you get 2 polishes in 1 that isn't too big or chunky is fab and is great for travel purposes, what a nifty idea!!

I picked mine up at Superdrug for £7.99, these are also available in Boots for the same price depending on offers.

Have you tried these sparkly little beaut's yet?? What did you think??
