Review: Nicki Minaj Mini OPI Nail Polishes

Metallic 4 Life

 I use this as a top coat as it is very sheer. I am not really fond of this as it is horrible to take off. As many glitter polishes are.

Left - Fly, Middle - Did it on 'em, Right - Pink Friday.

Fly is really gorgeous! It takes two thick coats and it's opaque. I recommend this a lot!

Did it on 'em is a lime green, it would take four coats to get it opaque.

Pink Friday is a nice bubblegum pink I like it but again it takes four coats to get it opaque, not really impressive.

Over all I love Fly, like Pink Friday, Did it on 'em is ok and I don't really like Metallic 4 Life.

This set cost £12.75 which is 2.25 more expensive than a full sized bottle of OPI polish.

Each bottle is 3.75 ml

So yeah over all I give the set 3.5/5

I am not really keen on OPI in general, it's too sheer, you generally need 4 coats to get it to look how you want it not my idea of a good nail polish, Ok even though they are sheer they wear really well!

I will keep you updated on the wear of these nail polishes

Thanks so much for reading

My Week with Instagram No.3

I have loved playing Mario Bros for Wii, I have been watching HankGames and I love it!

I have been doing my makeup like this and I have my hair it's natural curlyness.
I am liking being all natural :)

On my break :P I am eating so bad recently!

I got my new Jumper that I will talk about soon!

To Gerry! RIP.

The sky is getting better, it means Spring is coming!

I got my Doctor Who poster!!!! (Sorry it's not Instagram)

My Updated Makeup Storage.

I am really happy with how I store all of my makeup, it's taken me a while to sort everything out.

So I will start with my brush holders.

I got these holders in Dunne Stores on sale for 1.50 each, in the bathroom section. I would have liked black but they were more expensive so I think these are great! You can always get a good deal in Dunnes. 

 I got this next piece in Muji I love this, I use it for my everyday makeup.

A stack of two clear drarws are around ten euro and the single draws are 5 euro.

In the top drawer I have my essential face products, primer, foundation and concealer.

In the second I have my eye stuff, mascara, eyeliner and primer.

In the last I have my cheek products and my kabuki brush.

I have a four drawer case that I got for Woodies for 9.99

In the first drawer I have eyeshadows that are in pots or pans. These include MAC, Inglot, Nars, Illamasqua,

In the second drawer I have eyeliners, mascaras, eyelashes, coloured eye bases, I have minis of Benefits liquid blushes/highlights.

In the third drawer I have blushes, face powders, concealers, foundation, highlighters.

In the fourth drawer I have all my lip products, lispticks, liplosses, lip balms.

This storage unit is great the drawers are quite deep so you can get a lot in them! (Well as long as I don't buy too much more makeup I'll be fine!)

 If you see anything you want me to review or talk about let me know in the comments.

 Thanks so much for reading :)

Redo: Effy Stonem Skins Look.

I have decided to redo the Effy from Skin makeup that she wore in Episode 8. 

I really like this make up the tutorial will be here so be sure to check it out! 

On the lid is Illamasqua's Servent Eyeshadow

On the lash line is smoulder eye kohl

In the crease is Inglot's Black eyeshadow #63

Under the eye is MAC's Teal Pigment

 This look takes a lot of blending so it will take a while to do I did it in just under a half an hour so I think it's more of a going out look than an every day look :P 

I really love the teal underneath it's gorgeous!! 

Hope you enjoyed the look and thanks so much for reading!
