NCLA 'I Only Fly Private' Nail Lacquer Review

Hey beaut's!

A few weeks back in my March Glossybox I received an NCLA nail 
lacquer in the shade 'I Only Fly Private' (£13.00), I was super happy to see the nail lacquer in my box because I'd heard such great things about the American brand 'NCLA' and was eager to try it out for myself. 
What's so great about all of the luxury NCLA nail lacquers is that their formula is 100% free of DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde resin, Camphor and are never tested on animals, making them alot better for our nails than regular nail polishes, woohoo! The NCLA nail lacquers come in a huge variety of shades, finishes and textures and are all housed in square, glass, 15ml bottles and have an easy to use dupont flat brush attached to the square screw up lid.
As I mentioned before I received the shade 'I Only Fly Private' which is a neon-pastel orange shade, perfect for the Spring and Summer months ahead. I found the NCLA formula very easy to work with, it's lovely and creamy and applies smooth with no bubbling what so ever and drys rapidly, I do find the first coat applies abit streaky here and there but the second coat really seals the deal and makes the streaks disappear and leaves you with full opacity and a gorgeous glossy shine. As for lasting power.... NCLA claim there nail lacquers have a chip free formula, I definitely wouldn't say they are chip free but I had 'I Only Fly Private' on my nails four whole days before I noticed a slight chip and considering I'm very heavy with my hands at work and at home I think that pretty good!
Overall I do really like the NCLA nail lacquers, the formula is good, they last a good amount of time on my nails before chipping, the colour range is amazing and the fact the formula is better for our nails than regular nail polishes is a huge bonus.

Have you tried any of the NCLA Nail Lacquers beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know!!

March Glossybox Review | Step Into Spring ♥


Hey beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! This month Glossybox have been getting into the spring time mood and have bought us a 'Step Into Spring' themed box with the promise of four full size products, woohoo!

 Anywhoo lets see what I received inside my March Glossybox...

Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara | Full Size | £3.30

The first thing that caught my eye when I opened my box was this mascara by Essence, I really like the black and orange packaging and the lid has a rubberised effect to it which is great for extra grip when applying the mascara. The mascara itself is said to take your from weary to wide-eyed in just one sweep so I'm really looking forward to giving this a whirl, the cobra head-shaped wand sounds rather interesting too and is said to grab each individual lash! I have tried lipsticks from Essence before and loved them so I'm expecting good things from this mascara.

Naobay Moisturizing Peeling | Full Size | £13.71
Next we have the Naobay Moisturizing Peeling which we all knew we was getting in our box as Glossybox had revealed this last month, the product itself is actually an organic 'peeling milk' that claims to be a 'start over for the skin', it contains particles from the acai tree to remove dulling dead skin cells and also brightens the complexion. I do love a good ole skin care product and again I'm expecting good things from this. 

ncLA Nail Lacquer in I Only Fly Private | Full Size | £13.00
I've heard alot of good things about ncLA nail polishes recently because they are all free from toxins so are alot better for our nails than regular nail polishes. The shade I received 'I Only Fly Private' is a gorgeous neon-pastel orange which is perfect for the Spring and the Summer and I can see it looking great on toes and against a tan too. 

Sleek MakeUP Pout Paint in Port | Full Size | £4.99
I love Sleek Pout Paints, I already own a couple so I'm happy to have another in my stash, I received the shade Port which is a deep, purple toned berry which I wear alot so it's ideal for me. If you haven't tried the Pout Paints before they are basically like liquid lipsticks that stain the lips and last for hours, you can either apply a thin layer for a satin lipstick-like finish or a thicker layer for a vibrant glossy look.

Dove Advanced Hair Series Youthful Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner | Samples | £5.99 for 250ml
And lastly the only samples we received in our boxes this month was both a shampoo and a conditioner from Doves Youthful Vitality range. Even though this duo is for 'Aging Hair' I'm still going to give them a go because they are targeted towards hydrating and repairing the hair, and considering I'm growing my hair out rather long at the moment and the fact I use heat on my hair a lot it could always use a little TLC so I'm hoping this shampoo and conditioner can give my hair some loving he he.

 What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.
