NOTW: Vogue Vert

This week I’m wearing my second new polish from Nubar.  This one is called Vogue Vert and is sort of a faded green colour.  It’s really different from any other colour I have and I really like it.  In real life, it’s actually a bit less minty – have a look at the photos on this blog.  I would say that the real life colour is half way between my photos and  these ones!

The only downside for me is that it looks very patchy after one coat (I often try and get away with just one coat!).  You need at least two coats for the colour to be opaque – on some of my nails I had to use three coats.  This is my first Nubar colour, all the others I’ve tried have been top coats.  Has anyone else tried any Nubar polishes and have you found them patchy?!

No7 Metallic Eyes Pencil

For Christmas I was given a No7 Metallic Eyes Pencil in green and I love it!  It has a really creamy texture so is easy to apply quickly without going back over again and rubbing your eye.

It also doesn’t need to be warmed up before you use it and it smudges nicely as well.  I really love the colour which is actually slightly greener in real life than these photos suggest and it is highly pigmented.

I sometimes get itchy eyes when I wear eyeliner which has put me off trying new ones in the past but I’ve had no problems with this one.

I love it so much I think I’ll get a few more colours!

NOTW: Christmas Glitter

I’m pretty sure I’ve already done a Nails of the Week post this week but never mind – it’s Christmas!  I used a Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish for the base (819 Green With Envy) which normally looks turquoise but adding the gold glitter has made it look much more green.  It looks different colours in different lights so here are a few photos for you……

I’m not going to have time to post now until after Christmas so I hope you all have a lovely few Christmassy days!
