China Glaze Ruby Pumps

Sorry this is a day later than I promised but here is what China Glaze Ruby Pumps looks like on toes:) It's a beautiful deep red and less sparkly than Good Witch? This was achieved with only 1 coat over a base coat. I think it's lovely and perfect for summer:)

I will be doing my prize draw in the next few days. There were only 4 entries so it won't take long sorting it out:)

Busy Busy Busy

I have been so busy at work this week that I haven't had time to show you the other polishes form China Glaze that I promised. I hope to get them both done on Sunday though:) Before my competition closes xx

A Sneak Peak at Good Witch?

As you may or may not know, I am having a giveaway of 3 of the Wizard of Oz nail polishes from China Glaze. I hope to do a few posts on what they look like on before I give them away. I bought myself the same ones, so don't worry, the prizes will be brand new and unopened.

The first one I have tried is Good Witch?

It's a beautiful pink colour with glitter in it. If you don't like the feel of glitter then these polises are not for you. I have used a base coat and applied 2 coats of Good Witch? to get the coverage seen. 1 coat is pretty good but it does take 2.

The first thing I noticed about this polish was how quickly it dries. I haven't tried any other China Glaze polishes so I'm not sure if they all do this but Good Witch? dried rock hard in record time. Normally I have to be careful with my nail polish for a couple of hours after (you know the kind of thing - careful lifting things, touching things, going to the toilet lol etc etc) but this baby was rock solid within about 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it. This is definitely a big plus for this polish.

I love the colour, it's a nice every day sort of colour. However, after less than 48 hours of wear it is starting to wear away at the edge of my nails. I have not applied a top coat as I'm not a big fan of top coats but maybe in this case it might be useful. Admittedly I am quite rough with my nails/hands. I wash dishes without gloves (Shock Horror!!). I am amazed that I manage to keep my nails so long most of the time:)

So here's the pic:)



I love this colour and can't wait to try the others:)

The Feel Good Factor

Why do we wear makeup?

The reason I do is that I look and feel so much better with it on. Now don't get me wrong. I can leave the house without any makeup on and quite often do but when I wear it I feel so much more confident and better about myself. Shallow eh?

Why do you wear makeup?
