NOTD: Chanel Miami Peach #203

I'm back with another NOTD post! I seem to be changing my nail colour every week which is a bad thing... I'm not used to having bare nails these days as I just find them, empty?

I decided to wear Chanel's Miami Peach nail polish today ^^

With flash

Natural daylight

I think it's a colour great for Spring as it's bright + well, just because it looks Spring-like. 

It's a lovely colour ^^

It also has some shimmer in it which adds a great touch to the polish!

What's your favourite Spring nail polish?

CHANEL LE VERNIS: Miami Peach, Inattendu + Paradoxal (swatches)

L-R: Miami Peach, Inattendu + Paradoxal

I'm very happy to have purchased my first Chanel nail lacquers today! As you can see, I purchased 3 nail lacquers ^^

Swatches

L-R: Paradoxal (1 coat), Inattendu (2 coats) + Miami Peach (2 coats)

Barry M's Dusky Mauve is a dupe of Chanel's Paradoxal + I never knew that until a friend of mine told me. Nonetheless, it'll be a great colour for Autumn/Winter. 

Inattendu is a peachy nude colour which is great for daily wear + for all seasons! It has no shimmer in it + has great coverage with 2 coats!

Miami Peach is a pinky orange colour which will be great for Spring/Summer. It has some shimmer in it which creates a nice effect.

Overall? Very happy with my purchases ^^

I decided to go out of my comfort zone with Paradoxal as most of my nail polishes are all neutral colours ~

NOTD: Pink + Glitter

I've started to become addicted to glitter nail polishes recently + with my happy purchase of Canmake's clear polish with silver glitters, I decided to use it as a top coat over a dark pink ^^

Maybelline New York 135 Nude Rose with Canmake's Glitter polish on tips

What do you guys think of it? I think it's great for Spring and Summer. 

Pink's not normally my favourite but this darker shade of pink I'm wearing right now, it's not actually that bad! 

What do you guys think?

OOTD 5: Chinos, Moccasins + Longchamp

Today's such a nice day so I thought why not do an OOTD post as I haven't done one in a while. Today, I just wore something casual for Spring! 

- Grey Cardigan (H&M)

- Black Floral Lace Top (Primark)

- Light Khaki Green/Beige Chinos (From HK)

- Tan Skinny Belt (Primark)

-Brown Mocassins (Zara)

I also paired this outfit with my new navy Longchamp bag! ^^

An outfit great for Spring + Summer!

Just something casual

Review + Swatch: Maybelline New York Gel Eyeliner (01 Intense Black)

I'm sure many of you's have heard of Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner and all the good reviews it has received. However, as I didn't want to spend so much on a tiny pot of gel eyeliner, I decided to opt for Maybelline's new gel eyeliner!

RRP: £7.99

I think the packaging looks similar to Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner apart from the cap. The gel is in a small glass tub and secured with a metal cap. It also comes with a brush too which is really useful!

A closer look at the brush + the gel

I decided to try it out + what are my thoughts? It's super easy to apply on! I thought it would be quite difficult + awkward to apply on at first but I was wrong. The brush makes it super easy to apply as you can have thick or thin strokes which is really good! 

Here's the outcome:

I wouldn't say the colour is 'intense black' with one stroke but you could always add on more layers to make the colour more black. 

Product: 9/10

Pigmentation: 8/10

Texture: 9/10

Application: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10

Overall? Highly recommended for those looking for a gel liner!

NOTD: Nude Shatter/Crackle Nail Polish (ft. OPI Teenage Dream)

There seems to be A LOT of crackle polishes these days & I love them! Quick + easy nail art in less than what, 2 minutes? 

Anyway, I managed to find a nude coloured crackle polish while on holiday in Hong Kong + here's what it looks like applied over OPI's Teenage Dream!

The crackle polish is from the brand 'Dark Tina Angel'. It's a japanese brand which is probably why I've never heard of/seen swatches of these crackle polishes before!

What do you guys think of the nude crackle polish?
