Makeup Revolution: Flawless 3 Resurrection

Although I don’t try out new makeup looks often, I do like to try out my usual style with different colours. The Flawless 3 Resurrection palette from Makeup Revolution is fantastic for experimenting with!

I attempted many times to photograph this closed, but because of the glossy rose gold case I just couldn’t get a good photo. But this really is a stunning palette. I personally love all things rose gold so this definitely makes me happy!

Flawless 3 has 32 shades in matte, satin and shimmer finishes and each shade is highly pigmented. As with other Makeup Revolution palettes this has a huge mirror in the lid, closes securely and has a plastic sheet with the shade names on. The majority of shades are matte, which I prefer and the shimmers aren’t too bold so this is definitely great for more of an everyday palette for me. The warm tones are perfect as we go into summer too!

                                     

                                      

I’ve been using this palette so much since I bought it. It’s very versatile and can be used for minimal makeup looks as well as full on glam styles making it my new go-to. At just £8 this is affordable and great value for money! I highly recommend it.

Spring Glow With Makeup Revolution

Seeing as Spring is officially here what better time to share some beautiful highlighters from Makeup Revolution to help get that fresh glowing look! I’ve loved their Vivid Baked highlighter in Peach Lights for so long that I knew I had to have some more from other collections.

Radiant Lights Glow is a gorgeous warm highlighter. The texture is so soft and smooth, it glides on beautifully! This has a very intense golden colour so would work incredibly as a highlighter over blush on darker skin tones but for my pale skin I wear this alone as a glowing bronzer. It also works lovely as eyeshadow!

Moon Glow from the Strobe Highlighters is my new favourite, even taking the place of my Peach Lights, which was hard to do! This has a softer, almost matte glow so is my go-to for every day wear. The lovely pink tone is perfect for my skin tone and blends well over a variety of blush shades. This also has a more velvety texture that feels very light on the face. Definitely a plus as the weather warms up!

What are your favourite highlighter?

Make Up Gallery: Marilyn in Black & White!

Stamping plates are one of the best ways to get intricate nail designs with very little effort. I’ve built quite a collection of plates now and through lots of practice have found that not all polishes are suitable for getting a crisp image.

After playing around with Make Up Gallery over the last few weeks I thought I would try them out with stamping. I picked out one of my favourite plates, a Born Pretty Store plate with a Marilyn Monroe picture. I decided to let the stamping speak for itself so chose a monochrome look.

I used Winter White as the base. This is a very sheer white so I did three coats of this. I then used Midnight Black to stamp on my image.

As you can see the design came out beautifully! I am very impressed with how well this polish picked up the design and transferred it to my nails. A much better result than I’ve had from more expensive brands!

Although some Make Up Gallery polishes won’t be suitable to stamp with, mostly the lighter shades, there are plenty that would be perfect and at just £1 it’s definitely a bargain!

Born Pretty Store: Vintage Style Decals

It’s been a while since my last post! I’ve moved house and until now I haven’t been able to get anything written and photographed. But I’m back and today I have some of the best decals ever from Born Pretty Store! This set is a fantastic deal not only because of the gorgeous designs but you also get 3 sheets of decals!!

As you can see you get plenty of images and they are all very detailed. I’m a huge fan of anything vintage so I really love the pinup style decals and the animals are all adorable!

I’ve done three nail art looks using these decals to give you some ideas on various ways to wear them.

My first look is the most simple. Sometimes all you need is a little something to jazz up a plain polish and wearing just one decal on your ring finger is a perfect way to do that.

 

A bold red polish is perfect to show off the vintage decals! I’ve also tried to do retro half moons to add to the glam!

 

For my last look I used decals on each nail. I think the pretty flowers compliments the pastel pink beautifully.

Born Pretty Store: Pretty In Pink!

Decals will always be a favourite way for me to get gorgeous nail art in a rush! I love that they come in every design you could ever want and today I’m sharing another pretty set from Born Pretty Store.

These decals really are lovely. The designs are simple but so beautiful! I love that these are just an outline as it means you can use them with any colour polish.

To me these have a little Disney princess vibe about them so that’s the inspiration behind this nail look..

Perfectly pink! With a little added sparkle of course!

As with every other set of decals from Born Pretty Store they are easy to use and look fantastic. Simply cut out the design and peel off the top film. Hold in water for around 20 seconds, slide the design off the backing and then place on your nail. I use a pair of tweezers to make sure the design goes exactly where I want it.

Beautiful!

Born Pretty Store: Festival Nail Art

I have another fantastic stamping plate from Born Pretty Store to share with you today!

This stamping plate has a love theme to it along with some other pretty designs. I actually picked this plate because of the chevrons. I think they look so chic but I’ve never been able to do them freehand!

Here’s the look I came up with..

I chose three bright polishes for this gradient design which I think looks really nice against the white base. This would be a really fun nail art for summer and especially if you’re going to any festivals! I also quite like how the design came out slightly faded as it just adds to the festival vibe.

I think this stamping plate is really great as it has a lovely little selection of images. The stripes and chevrons make this a must-have if you want stylish nail art that doesn’t take forever to do.

Born Pretty Store: Safari Stamping Plate

Born Pretty Store have a wide variety of stamping plates and I was lucky enough to be sent three to review so today I’m sharing the first one with you.

As you can see this plate has some super cute designs! All of these are perfect for summer nail art or if you love animals!

The designs transfer easily and look really pretty on the nails!

 

After a lot of practicing with various nail polishes I found metallic polishes work amazingly with stamping and look great against a bold base colour! Any polishes that need two or three coats to get full coverage do not work well with stamping!

It’s also important to remember not to put too much polish on the plate as it’s more likely to smudge the design when you transfer it if you do.

 

I love how many different looks you can come up with using stamping plates and I know this one in particular is going to be used a lot this summer!

Born Pretty Store: Watercolour Decals

Today I have more pretty nail decals from Born Pretty Store to share with you.

As you can see these decals are gorgeous!

I just love the watercolour style of this set. I think they’re perfect for creating delicate nail art and the colours are perfect for spring!

I’ve kept this look really simple and bright. I especially love how the peach colour looks against the vibrant green!

I love all the designs in this set. They’re so cute and really easy to use. I’m sure all you beauty bloggers out there would love the little perfume bottle and lipstick decals in this set, I know I do!

Nail Geek: Red Not Dead Collection

After some camera problems I finally have more swatches of Makeup Revolution’s Nail Geek polishes for you!

The Red Not Dead collection is made up of 5 beautiful shades. Each swatch is of two coats of polish, except for Intensive which needed three coats for full coverage, and no top coat.

On The Edge is a lovely pink toned red. Simple but beautiful!

Scandal is slightly brighter version of On The Edge. This raspberry red colour is really pretty.

Declare is a classic red with a subtle shimmer running through it. Unfortunately the shimmer does not show up too well in these photos but it really is something special.

Vampy is my favourite from this collection. I just adore this deep wine colour.

Intensive is the most stunning oxblood polish. Perfect if you want something dark and dramatic!

Which of the Nail Geek Red Not Dead collection is your favourite?

There are 45 fabulous Nail Geek shades that you can buy individually for £1.49 or in collections of 5 for just £5.96! Click the link to browse the full collection: Nail Geek.

Little Robot Nail Art

Makeup Revolution polishes are perfect for nail art and until I have another set of swatches to share I thought I would come up with a few designs using my favourite shades!

Here’s a little robot I did recently..

To create this design I used Look Of Love as the base on my ring finger, You Need Love for my other nails and Hopes and Dreams for the robot and dots. I’ve also used Barry M’s black nail art pen to add detail. To finish the look I added Rimmel’s matte topcoat.

Hopes and Dreams really is the best shade for a robot! You can check out my swatches of these and some other polishes Here.

What do you think of this super cute design?
