Cute Christmas Holiday Nail Art 2: Rudolph Reindeer Nails

Just a quick little photo for you today, the second in my festive nail art series!

Start off by painting your nails a plain colour (I used a Rimmel polish called Silver Bullet) and when that is dry paint a semicircle on the tips brown (No.7 Beanie). Add a blob of red (No.7 Siren). When everything is dry draw on features and antlers using a nail art pen (mine was by BarryM) and I also decided to add a silver highlight on the nose and glitter to the very tips of the nail for a frosted look. I finished with a gel style top coat.
Merry Christmas,

Cute Christmas Holiday Nail Art 1: Christmas Tree

Less than a week to go!
Here's a little festive tutorial for you 🎄
Super Simple Festive Nail Art 1: Christmas Tree

These are so easy to do
1) Paint your nails a pale, plain colour such as white or pale blue. I used cream.

2) Take a mid to dark green and paint a triangle onto each nail.

3) It's time for the fun bit! Use glitter, metallic polishes, gemstones, beads, nail fur, bows, sequins or whatever else you may have to decorate your nails. I used a gemstone and a couple of lines of silver 'tinsel' to decorate each. I got these tools in a set from Primark for £2, and they actually work really well. That's a recommendation. They make great gifts and even work for secret Santa.

And you're done! Finish off with a top coat for added durability if you want. Wow. I just made nail art sound like some sort of power tool. Durability. Not usually a nail art word.

Love you all,

New Festive BarryM Nail Polishes

Some of you probably already know that when it comes to my nails, I'm big on pastels and fancy patterns, so I don't have many nail polishes with that festive vibe. So when I was walking through Superdrug and saw you could get a free gold nail polish if you spent £6 on BarryM products I had already made up my mind,

Amethyst Glitter, £2.99

Marshmallow, £3.99

Limited Edition Nail Paint, Free

I'm really looking forward to trying out all of these and I'll make sure I post a photo.

Review + swatches: Sleek i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette in Au Naturel

Two Sleek reviews in one day :P
I have heard great things about these eyeshadow palettes. Admittedly Au Natural seems to be one of the least well reviewed ones, but it best suited my colour tastes. They do make this palette in a number of brighter colour schemes, but this is the most natural.
It costs £7.99 and includes 12 eyeshadows.

Outside of the packaging

Inside, with the plastic overlay

It had the colours labelled one a sheet of plastic, however I bought the original palette for my friend and that did not include colour names.
As you can see I have not used the stupid applicator.
The colours were:
Nougat (matte pale cream)
Nubuck (matte greyish beige)
Cappuccino (matte nude)
Honeycomb (matte orangey nude)
Toast (matte peachy nude)
Taupe (super shimmery beigey gold)
Conker (warm shimmery dark brown)
Moss (shimmery greenish brown, stunning btw)
Bark (typical matte brown)
Mineral Earth (cool shimmery matte brown)
Regal (warm matte dark brown)
Noir (simply matte black)
Now you've seen how terrible I am at describing colours I will just give you some swatches so you can see for yourself.

As you can see the lighter colours, especially the mattes, were less pigmented, although they mainly didn't show up because they were quite close to my skin tone. All the darker shades had awesome pigmentation.
Overall ❤️❤️❤️, although the HUGE mirror in the lid may have made that 3 1/2

Review + swatches: Sleek Blushes

The other day, when out shopping in town, I bought two sleek blushes,
The colours I chose were Rose Gold, because of how beautiful it looked, and Suede because it claimed it could also be used as a bronzer.

The product packaging

The product weighed 8g and cost £4.49 each from Superdrug, although I believe boots now sells sleek products online.
Here is what the colours looked like:

L-R: Rose Gold, Suede

I also took a picture of Rose Gold pointed towards the light so you can see the shimmer. Suede is matte.

Rose Gold had a lot of golden shimmer

When I wore these products I discovered the pigmentation  was AMAZING, especially for that price. Suede might be a little dark for a bronzer but I found it okay when I applied it with a light hand. They are both very bold, but Rose Gold does add a lovely natural shimmer to your cheeks.

Rose Gold and Suede swatches

Overall I was really pleased with this product, which earned a good ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love you all,
