Nailed It! - Rimmel Mercury

Hi guys, Today I have a long over due Nailed it post! Does anyone remember these from way back when? My last one was back in April 2014.. Oops!

So basically, asides from the obvious "I haven't been blogging" the other reason why I have done one of these in a while is that I was having my nails done by a friend of mine, and I was pretty much having the same boring colours on my nails each time, and to be honest, the quality of the work wasn't always that great, but I have since taken my gels off and will be going back to doing them myself now that they have grown slightly.. Well for the most part. 
Please also bare in mind, these photos were taken a few week ago and I have since had gels on, and off again so expect more Nailed It! posts in the near future! 

So today I'm going to be talking about Mercury from the Kate Moss for Rimmel Salon Pro Range.


Now I want you to take a minute to look at how nice this polish looks, I fell in love pretty quickly when I saw this in the store and popped it into my basket with great enthusiasm. The colour is this really beautiful pale olive green with purple and rose gold shimmer running through it, it almost looks like an 'Oil Slick' polish but lighter and greener.. however this beauty doesn't translate onto the nails. 


On the nails this looses all its shimmery, multi tonal goodness and becomes a bland green shade, which ordinarily wouldnt be a problem, but the issue here is that its so beautiful in the bottle and I thought it would look equally as nice on the nails, you know being slightly different colours in different lights, and its just not. Its not a terrible colour, its just a little disappointing.
The polish itself is opaque in two coats but does show brush marks so you have to be careful how to paint in straight lines.

So overall, its not a terrible polish, I do like it, but it is a disappointing product.

Rimmel Kate Salon Pro Polishes retail for £4.49 and can be purchased in most drug store and supermarkets in the UK.

Thanks for reading guys.
Talk to you soon

Lord And Berry Kit Box - An In Depth Look

Hi Guys, So if you saw my most recent haul, you'll know I picked up a Lord And Berry Kit Box from Boots for just £5 on clearance. Now, I wasn't even aware Boots stocked Lord and Berry, (Just did a quick search of the website and it doesnt look like they do) so spotting these took me a little by surprise. They actually had three different ones to pick from but the eye liner selections seemed most appealing to me so thats the one I picked up.

Actual box it all came in

So these little kits come with three to four products in a little zip lock pouch that is actually quite nice, its covered in graphic print featuring 'Lord and Berry' and other quotes. I don't see myself using it for anything in particular, but it is a nice quality bag.




This Kit Box came with three different black eyeliners, a Kajal kohl, a gel and a glitter.









Each of these eyeliners are lovely products, they are all nicely pigmented, particularly the gel pencil, which is a nice deep black. They are smooth and easy to use, and overall it a great set for the price I paid.

However, it would appear that the kit boxes are no longer available, which explains why they were on clearance, but you can purchase each product individually from the Lord&Berry website, although this will obviously cost you more.

Prices are:
Polish - £10
Paillettes - £9
Silk -£9

Thats it for today guys, I hope you enjoyed this post.
Talk to you soon
