Elegant Touch Holiday Nails Collection

Hey beaut's!

Whether your off on your holibobs, going to a festival or staying at home Elegant Touches new Holiday Nails collection is where the party's at. This Summer Elegant Touch have launched a false nail collection inspired by global hot spots such as Ipanema, Bora Bora, Havana and Ibiza! Each set of nails are designed to makeup a summertime splash with their funky designs and bright colours and I for one love them! I have very short, squared off nails so I basically need all the help I can get he he! 

My favourite sets out of the collection have to be the Bora Bora* set and the Ibiza* set. The Bora Bora set have the popular stiletto shape with the most gorgeous pink iridescent sheen, I love that no matter what these chrome finish nails always shine a different colour, I've spotted peach, purple, white and blue, they so cool! The Ibiza set are equally as gorgeous, they have the coffin shape which a basically like the stiletto's but with a blunted end, I just love the colourful tribal design of these, they scream festival season to me! 

The Havana* set again have that on trend stiletto shape with a negative space tribal design in a metallic rose gold, these are so pretty and still have the wow factor without being too intense. The Ipanema* set are the most stripped back design out of them all, these ones have an icy white glossy shine which again would be perfect for festivals when your going print heavy with your outfits, these are a great basic set to have and if you was in a bit of a pinch you could always paint them if you wanted to!

Each set come completes with 24 nails in 10 different sizes so you can mix and match to get the best fit for you, theirs also some nail glue and a buffer to make the application process quick and easy! These are such a winner for me, my nails are so short and never grow and theres no way I'd be able to achieve these stunning designs just with nail polish, so if your looking for some jazzy, eye catching  nails this summer then give these a whirl, especially my favourites Bora Bora and Ibiza he he! 

You can find the the Elegant Touch Holiday Nails Collection for £7.95-£8.95 in Superdrug or HERE.

Freedom Makeup HD Eye Foils Reviewed & Swatched!

Hey beaut's!

I've been really into eyeshadows with a foil finish at the moment, and when I was browsing  all the makeup in Superdrug on my lunch break recently I saw that Freedom Makeup had released their very own packets of eye foils, obviously being the makeup addict that I am I just had to buy a packet to try and I'm so glad I did because I love them!

Freedom Makeup have a few colour variations of eye foils to choose from but I opted for the Metallic 1 set, this includes 5 magnetic eyeshadows pans all in a beautiful mix of neutral and warm tone foil finish shades. The reason I opted for this set was because for me it's really versatile, I love wearing warm toned shades all throughout Summer and Autumn/Winter so I knew I'd get the most use out of these particular shades. The pans actually come sat in thin plastic packaging but their designed to go into Freedom's #ProArtist customisable magnetic palettes, I have a Z Palette with a few Makeup Geek shades in so I've popped mine in their and they fit perfectly and securely!

The formula of these foil shades are stunning, each shade is intensely pigmented, buttery soft to swatch and apply beautifully with either a flat brush, fingers or you cam spritz your brush with some fixing spray for a super intense foil finish. I actually like using my finger to pop the shades on and then I blend out with a brush, they blend out so easy as well with basically no fall out and stay super intense all day!

I'm so happy these caught my eye in Superdrug, I absolutely love them and these shades are so on trend right now, the warm tones make me think of the Urban Decay Heat palette or those Huda Beauty Textured shadows, their so pretty! And if the quality of these shades wasn't good enough then the price will knock your socks off, their only £5.00 a pop! Yup that's right, it makes each foil shadow £1.00 each, how amazing is that! If your into foil shades or warm tones your going to love these shadows as much as I do!

Leighton Denny Nail Care and Polish Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

Naturally I have super short squared off nails that are quite brittle, I'm quite heavy handed at home and at work and my nails really suffer with breakages and little nicks here and there so these Leighton Denny polishes couldn't have arrived at a better time, especially their strengthening treatment.

Leighton Denny's Rock Solid* (£12.00) is a one coat strengthening treatment for all nail types but especially for fragile, soft, sensitive nails that are prone to damage, just like mine. This lovely stuff can be used as a base coat before your normal polish or you can apply it to bare nails to start getting that growth and strength back. I always use Rock Solid as my base coat and it really does work well, it forms a protective coating that instantly bonds to the nail bed, rebuilding with fibres so that my nails look and feel strong and it creates that perfect smooth base for nail polish to sit over. I've been absolutely loving this stuff since I got it, I've noticed a huge difference in my nails since using it, their definitely not brittle or thin like they was and the ends of my nails used to be quite flimsy and bendy but now their super strong and sturdy and don't break like they used to. If your having trouble with nail breakage, weakness and lack of growth I cant recommend Rock Solid enough!

The Leighton Denny nail polish in Jail Bird* (£12.00) was totally out of my comfort zone, it's a gorgeous dark turquoise shade that has a metallic sheen finish but I never ever wear this sort of colour on my nails usually, and as much as I loved the actual shade on my nails the formula let this one down for me a little, it was so tricky to get it streak free! Don't get me wrong it was opaque after just one coat and never bubbled at all but trying to get it even without streaks got annoying after a while, but once I worked at it - it looked gorgeous and lasted well.

Overall I cant recommend the Rock Solid nail strengthening base coat enough if your've got troublesome nails that need a little TLC, but just remember if you fancy trying the shade Jail Bird it can be a streaky little bugger!
