Ultimate Nail Lacquer Bricky Mouse by Catrice Cosmetics - Review

Hello everyone,
I hope you have all had a good start to the new week.

I'm loving Catrice lately. Definitely loving the colour range that they have out for summer-spring nail polishes , but also enjoying how friendly they are to my pocket.
Recently picked up this gorgeous colour Bricky Mouse from the range.
Love it! It's a very feminine colour, with a lovely shiny finish.
I used two strokes to get this result. It lasts a good day before doing house work affects the colour and the chipping process starts. Not a great nail polish quality wise, but for 2.50 euros you get what you pay. I'm happy to retouch it every now and then when the colour needs it, especially when I get to enjoy this colour range for the this low cost.

Rimmel London Crack your Colour Top Coat - Review 010 Black Graffiti

Hello everyone,

I love Rimmel products, I love them so much that I have decided for the next few weeks to only purchase and review Rimmel goodies, more about on my next blog post.
This post is about the newly discovered Crack your Colour Crazy Top Coat Nail Polish.
Crack- Texture nail polishes are very common these days , so there is no surprise that Rimmel introduced these 4 shades
I have only been able to find the Black Graffiti so far, but it comes in  3 other amazing shades.
Click here to check them out http://uk.rimmellondon.com/products/nails/crack-your-colour
I wasn't sure what to expect , so I followed the instructions on the label.
I would recommend painting your nails with a bright base , just to be sure that the pattern will show when you use the top coat.
It literally only suggests that you use only one top coat, which I also found to be enough.
The brush is wide ,  which makes it easy to make a mess of it , so you need to be careful.
The nail polish does dry almost immediately, so you do need to move fast if you are bad as me when it comes to painting your nails, and you need more than a few strokes to do one nail.
In all , I enjoyed using it and I will definitely be repurchasing it, as it's so versatile and cheap.

I don't have any nail art technical skills , so for me any nail polish such as this is, that offers that extra something with no effort whatsoever is definitely worth it.


The product retails for 4.95 euros in Ireland and can be found in most drugstores in the country .

New 60 seconds Hot Looks and BEDAZZLED Nail Effects review

Hello all, it's Friday ! YAY!!

The beginning of a long weekend for most as it's Easter.

looking forward to spending some time off with my man and friends.

Anyhow, lets get to the real reason why you are here, nail polish review time!

As you know , I am new to a lot of beauty things, still learning at 31 and I am not ashamed to admit it.

Nail polish is one of them. I am not good at it, but I am learning, I even had my first manicure about  a month ago.

I usually go for drugstore brands, I have yet to find a very good reason to pay 15 euros for a high end one, I'm sure there are several out there, but as I have said I love my bargains.

But saying that this review might actually change my mind about a few things.

First product I would like to talk to is the Collection BEDAZZLED Nail Effects 1 Razzle Dazzle

I can't for the life of me remember the price of this glitter nail polish, but I'm sure it was less than 4 euros, if you would like to know the price let me know in the comments and I will try to dig up the receipt.

Like all glitter nail polish, it can be worn alone or on top of your favourite shade to add that extra something.

There was a time when glitter nail polish was not it fashion, but it's definitely making a come back.

This one is a silver-grey colour with green/blue specks.

I love the sparkly top and the round design bottle of 8ml.

You would need more than a few coats of it if you decided to wear it on it's own, and if you are used to 60 second nail polishes, be prepared , this one takes it's time to dry.

Removing is also a pain, I had to dip my nail in nail polish remover and give it a very good  wipe with cotton wool after that.

I was definitely  not disappointed though, for a drugstore version it does it's what it's supposed to do and I would definitely invest in other shades.

On to my second purchase.

I love pastels , don't get me wrong , I'm just not there quite yet as far as wearing them or painting my nail with. It will come, perhaps when the sun is in the sky and the sun is shinning.

So I could not say no, to a new colour from Collection 2000, 60 Seconds HOT LOOKS Go Retro!

In one word, I love it.

I love the colour, it's unique, the formula is smooth and it does dry in 60 seconds.
