Nails Of The Day | Queen Victoria Street

Nails inc. Nail Polish in Queen Victoria Street* | £11

Today, I have a new Nails inc. polish to show you which is one of the newest shades available for Summer! This is Queen Victoria Street which is a gorgeous emerald green with a glossy finish (unfortunately I couldn't seem to capture the true colour on my camera, it's a lot more green in real life). As I don't own very many green nail polishes, especially any shades like this, I was very interested to see how well it suited me!

First of all the formula of Queen Victoria Street is amazing; it's thick, creamy and opaque in just 1 coat (out of habit I have applied 2 coats in the picture to achieve a more even finish). I also found it dried very quickly despite being such a thick consistency - exactly what you want in a nail polish! Plus I haven't had any major chipping with this polish yet and has lasted a good few days on my nails; so top marks for the formula! I really wish you could see the true colour of this polish as this bright green shade is absolutely perfect for this time of year (I've taken so many photos in different lights and these were the best!). It looks very fresh on the nails and I think it's well suited to Spring as it reminds me of when everything starts turning green and colourful again! I really like how this shade looks against my skin and I think it would look amazing with a tan during the warmer months. I also can't wait to use this polish to do some nail art, such as floral designs, as I think it will be great to do the little leaves with!

Overall this is such a lovely nail polish and has even persuaded me to try out more green shades! If you're looking for a new polish that will add a pop of colour to your nails this Summer, then definitely check out Queen Victoria Street. You can also try this polish in the Nails inc. Bling It On Emerald kit which looks absolutely gorgeous!

Tag | Would You Rather? Beauty Edition

Photo from weheartit.com and edited by me

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well and had a lovely day! Today I'm going to do the"Would you rather? Beauty edition" tag which I have seen on quite a few blogs and have really enjoyed reading. I like doing these kinds of posts as I think it's nice to know more about the person behind the blog, plus they're lots of fun to write! I tag you all to do this post and if you do it, please leave the link in the comments; I love reading them! Anyway, on with the post..

1. Would you rather lose all your mascaras, eye liners, lipsticks and lip glosses or all your palettes and eye shadows?

I would much rather lose all of my palettes and eye shadows and keep the rest of my makeup! I actually like the look of just eye liner on my lash line and lots of mascara, it's simple yet can make your eyes look more defined. Also, I don't think I could live without my lipstick collection, especially my bright oranges and pinks! I'm a little be addicted to lip products at the moment haha!

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

My first reaction was never have my hair cut again because I hated having short hair, but mine is so weak and damaged that I think it would be ruined if I never cut it again! I think I would go through the pain of having very short hair for a year or so just so I wouldn't have to live with a ridiculous amount of split-ends for the rest of my life haha! Plus I could always use hair extensions to make it longer if it bothered me that much.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

I much prefer coral toned blushers as I think they suit my skin colour better. I have quite a pink undertone to my skin, so some pink blushers just make me look like I have a rash on my cheeks!

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Despite being a beauty addict, I think I would rather buy clothes! I always feel that I have nothing to wear so it would be nice to add some new pieces to my wardrobe. Plus I have so much makeup that adding another £1000 worth would just be silly haha!

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eye liner, or eye liner as lipstick?

I think eye liner as lipstick would be much easier, just like applying lip liner? Plus you can get all different coloured eye liners so I'm sure you could find some shades that would work! I can just imagine someone applying lipstick straight on to their eyes haha, that would be too messy to bother with!

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

I've only ever bought something from Sephora and because they have a huge selection of brands, I would have to say Sephora! I don't think I could stick to one brand, especially one as expensive as MAC!

7. Would you rather only use one eye shadow or one lip colour for the rest of your life?

I would definitely choose one eye shadow shade to wear for the rest of my life. It would probably be a shimmery neutral shade so it would work for day or night time! I would much prefer to have different lip colours as I like wearing bold lips with a neutral eye anyway. Plus only having a bright colour for Winter really wouldn't work, I love wearing my vampy reds for the colder months!

8. Would you rather wear Winter clothes in the Summer, or Summer clothes in the Winter?

I really wouldn't want to do either, they both sound awful! I guess that because Summer in England isn't always that hot and that I do get cold quite easily, I'd have to say Winter clothes in the Summer. Flip-flops in the snow would just be terrible!

9. Would you rather wear dark nails or bright nails all year round?

I think I'd rather wear bright colours because I think they suit my nails a lot nicer. Also a lot of dark shades make my hands look so pale and having that during the Summer wouldn't be nice!

10. Would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product?

To be honest, I wouldn't be fussed to give up either. I have so many variations of the same colour that I would have a back up anyway haha! I think I'd give up my favourite eye product because I tend to swap up my eye shadows more than my lipsticks.

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?

Definitely a messy bun! Because my hair's naturally curly, they're so much easier to do than creating a nice, sleek pony tail.

12. Would you rather never being able to paint yours nails again or never use lip gloss?

This is quite an easy one for me and I would rather not use a lip gloss again! I much prefer wearing a lipstick anyway, plus I love painting my nails! I find most lip glosses quite a pain to wear as they can be too sticky or I just don't like the finish; I much prefer a satin finish lipstick to a glossy lip.

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all? Or Sharpie them in everyday?

Oh dear, I really hate the look of drawn on eyebrows haha! But then again, having no eyebrows is even worse! I guess I would have to Sharpie them in everyday.. and never leave the house again haha!

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Even though I love painting my nails, I could definitely live without it. If I'm not wearing makeup, I don't feel "ready" and it makes me not want to do anything during the day! As sad as it sounds, I don't think I could live without wearing makeup, it gives me such a confidence boost and makes me feel so much better about my self that I kind of "need" it in my life. That can sound a bit shallow and obviously if I was actually being made to give makeup up, I could!

I hope you enjoyed the post and I really hope you do this tag as well! Remember, if you have please leave the link in the comments so I can come and have a read.

Spring & Summer Lipsticks

Hello everyone! I would like to start this post with a massive thank you to you all for helping me reach over 1000 followers through gfc! I'm so happy to have reached such an amazing milestone in this short amount of time (my blog will be 11 months old tomorrow - almost a year!). I really can't believe so many of you enjoy reading my rambles on here and I wish I could give each and everyone on of you a hug! Thank you so much!

Today's post is all about my top lipsticks for Spring and Summer! You may have seen my Spring & Summer Nail Polishes post, so you could call this the next post of the series. During the Spring and Summer I love wearing bright lipsticks, especially hot pinks and oranges! I've picked out a few lipsticks I have loved ever since last year, plus a couple that I've recently picked up and have been using non-stop!

Revlon Lip Butter in "Wild Watermelon" [Review] LINK

 I'm a massive fan of the Revlon Lip Butters and think they're one of the most perfect lip products for Spring and Summer. Their formula is smooth, moisturising and give a lovely amount of colour to your lips! The shade "Wild Watermelon" is a bright red/ pink which looks amazing at this time of year. You may have read in my April favourite's that I like to pair this with Benefit's Benetint to give it an extra pop of colour as on its own, it can look a little sheer! This shade is part of the limited edition Spring/ Summer collection, so I would recommend you trying this out as soon as you can!

Revlon Lip Butter in "Tutti Frutti" [Review] LINK

"Tutti Frutti" was on of my first lip butters I bought last year after as this is when I started to wear more orange toned lipsticks. This lip butter is a bright orange shade that is very nicely pigmented with just a few coats! It has the same moisturising formula as "Wild Watermelon" which makes it feel very nice on the lips. If you're someone who wants to venture out into bright shades this Summer, this is the perfect lip product for you as you can build up the intensity of the colour to suit your preference!

Lipstick Queen in "Fly"* [Review] LINK

 "Fly" has featured in my favourites posts before and is really a perfect all-year-round lipstick. It may look like a standard pink lipstick, but the reason why I love it so much for Summer is because it has turquoise shimmer running through it which makes your teeth look whiter! It really brightens up your smile as well as looking pretty on your lips. I also love the formula and pigmentation of this lipstick; it really is one of the nicest products I've tried!

 Topshop Lips Lip Tint in "Crystal" LINK

 This is my most recent purchase and has quickly jumped into my "favourite lipsticks" category! "Crystal" is a lip tint that reacts to the PH-balance of your lips to create a unique shade of pink that suits you! It also contains a lot of glitter (which surprisingly doesn't feel rough on your lips at all) and makes your lips sparkle in the sun light. This really is a gorgeous lipstick, even just to look at, and I can't wait to use it more over the Summer months! I already have my eye on picking up "Jewel" which is the orange version of this lipstick, it looks amazing!

Topshop Lips Lipstick in "Infrared" [Review]

 My final Spring and Summer lipstick in the infamous "Infrared" by Topshop. I love this lipstick to bits and think the red/ orange tone suits my skin very well. The formula is also very smooth, pigmented and has a velvet finish which I really like. "Infrared" is probably my most worn lipstick during the Summer time and would highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of trying it out!

So there's my favourite lipsticks for Spring and Summer time! I hoped you found this post useful if you were looking for some new lip products to try for the warmer months. Thank you for reading and I'll talk to you in my next post!

What's your favourite lipstick for Spring & Summer?
