Influenster imPress Manicure Vox Box

YAYYY the time has come again when I was chosen to receive a VoxBox from Influenster!!! I was super excited when the little box came in the mail and even more excited when I realized that it was a box filled with nail stuff. Anyways Influenster and Broadway Nails was kind enough to send me two sets of the imPress Press on Manicures. Now I am a huge polishaholic and pride myself on taking care of my nails and doing some pretty cool nail art; but lately since I have been playing sports like water polo and rugby I don't have time for nail art and I'm constantly having to keep my nails super short which is a huge annoyance. So when I received these nails I was excited to have something nice on my nails again.

Revlon Amazing Spiderman 2 Collection Review

This weekend the highly anticipated film The Amazing Spiderman 2 came out and let me assure you it was an excellent movie! I went to see it opening night and it was absolutely incredible, I've always been a fan of superheroes and comics ever since I was little so when Hollywood decided to reboot all of the classics I was completely ecstatic!!! Although the original Spiderman trilogy starring Toby Maguire will always have a special place in my heart; this new remake is just as good, and plus I cannot get enough of that hunk Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone which is one of my favourite actresses!!! Anyways enough about the movie... Lets get on to the makeup.

Natural Light (No Flash)

 

I am a nail art buff, so when I saw a similar nail art look on Pinterest I knew that I had to recreate it.
This was actually quite an easy manicure to recreate because it required no tools, basically all you had to do was layer several colours to make a beautiful aerial view of an ocean.  

Seche Vite Substitute? - Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Topcoat...

I am a nail polish addict, a self confessed polishaholic, I change my nail polish very regularly, and I do tons of nail art. Therefore I want my nail polish to stay on for as long as possible and look its greatest and that responsibility lies to the TOPCOAT.

For years I have been using the Seche Vite topcoat and it is amazing, it dries your nails to the touch in seconds and it is by far the quickest drying topcoat. Also its thick and glossy so when applied to the nails it leaves a salon finish and because it is so thick when doing nail art one does not need to worry about the polish being smuged or "pulled" thus ruining the design. Overall I love Seche Vite, so you may be wondering why I would stop using this magical topcoat. Well as the old saying goes "If it looks too good to be true it probably is" and this is the case for Seche Vite. Seche Vite contains several very dangerous chemicals that can cause birth defects and reproductive harm, and I absoultly do not want these chemicals in or on my body so I have to find a substitute.

Revlon Photoready Skinlights: Review + Swatches

Today I got my hands on one of the new or technically re – released Revlon Photoready Skinlights in the colour 400 Bronze Light. I say re – released because Revlon discontinued the Skinlights in 2008 and they’ve finally brought it back. There are 4 colours in the collection, 100 Bare Light, 200 Pink Light, 300 Peach Light and of course 400 Bronze Light, which is the darkest shade and the colour that I purchased. I really love this product because it goes great with my skin tone and actually shows up against my darker complexion which cannot be said for many products.
