NOTD- Topshop Sparkles

Hello!
This is just a quick post to show you a NOTD with the two nail varnishes i picked up from the Topshop store on Oxford Street (Haul from that trip is available to read here).


On the day I bought two nail varnishes,one which is called Hypnotic which is a silver with a pink/blue duochrome effect which is from their recently released 'Sisters of The New Moon' collection and the other colour is called Razzmatazz! This shade is so incredible! It is packed full of holographic and silver glitter!As far as i know from reading other blogs,this is a brand new shade which has just been released and is part of their permanant collection!


Razzmattazz is really difficult to show you just how sparkly it is when the light hits the glitter! It is going to be a great colour for nights out! It does take about 3 coats to reach an opaque style covering, but although i haven't had a chance to try it yet, i think 1 coat over a base coat would look brilliant too!




Hypnotic is a really beautiful duochrome, one which really grows on you the longer you wear it. At first glance when i first applied it i was slightly disappointed and thought it was pretty average, however the more you look at it, you see the varying shades of blue/pink/grey/silver colours which can be seen under different lights. This has easily become one of my favourite shades and i didn't expect it to be at all! The colour is really wearable as it is in no way garish and in your face, but is still interesting enough that people will notice it when you wear it!



As you can see i have used the two colours in the way of where you have your ring finger a different colour to the rest, which i absolutely love doing as it is a subtle and easy way to change up your nail look, especially if you are absolutely awful at nail art like myself!






Hypnotic is part of a limited edition range so make sure you grab it quick!
Razzmatazz is priced at £6 and hypnotic is £6.50
Have you checked out or tried these colours or any other colours from the Topshop range? What types of shades of nail varnish do you like?

NOTD-Going Dotty!

Hello everyone!
I haven't done one of these posts in a while so thought i would show you these lovely dotty nails that i have become slightly obsessed with doing!
I have to admit that these are in no way perfect,i am pretty awful at nail art in general,but if you're like me and are after something quick and easy to achieve i think you may like these!


The first i completed was the blue/purple dots which originally i did the trend of a different coloured ring finger ,which i really enjoy doing,but decided to spruce it up a bit and add some dots too! The shades i used for this look were from Gosh and Nails Inc,however unfortunately as i am at home i don't have the colours on me to give the exact names of the shades (if you really would like to know i will find out asap for you-just leave a comment below letting me know!) but in theory you could do this with any colours you wish!


The next style i did was using the colour from Max Factor called Onyx which is a gorgeous glossy black and used the two Nicki Minaj for OPI shades called "did it on em" and "Pink Friday" which add such a pop of colour and look so vivid on top of the black base!


If you were wondering how i created the dots,i simply dotted straight from the polish using the brushes provided!i know this isn't very technical and probably didn't give me the best dots but i don't have the patience to be fiddly and spend ages making each dot perfect! The looks still came out well and it definitely got some compliments as people noticed them!


Will you be trying this look?How good are you doing nail art?What styles would you like to see me attempt next?


As always let me know your thoughts!
