Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner: Drugstore Dupe

There's a lot of hype in the blog/YouTube world for the new Benefit eyeliner, basically a gel eyeliner stored in a wind up pen with an angled nib to make the chore of cat flicking a lot easier for you. However long before the Benefit product was talked about I randomly came across the Maybelline Lasting Drama Black Shock Gel Liner which looks exactly the same as the benefit one and seems to apply the same too but with a cheaper price tag.

I'll admit that I'm an eyeliner n00b and I rarely actually used it beforehand, only rarely for nights out. Eyeliners always smudged and faded on me but the Maybelline one lasts a long time and also needs a bit of a heavy hand to remove. If you want to try the Benefit hype without the price tag the try the Maybelline version! Click here to purchase from ASOS!

Remember me?

Hola!

It's been a long time since I last posted, I know.

 I was really busy with uni, and I didn't have much time to do nail art anymore, and I guess I started seeing blogging as a bit of a "chore" and found it easier to post plain nails on instagram rather than write a whole blogpost. I dunno, I'm not really sure why I stopped blogging in all honesty.

But now that I'm FINALLY finished university for good (not got my results yet though haha...dear God...), I hopefully have more time to start up my nail art again, and possibly start up my nail shop too. Now that there's other social networks than facebook to promo on (by that I just mean instagram), it seems like it might be easier than previously to have an Etsy. I'll admit that very few people in my "real" life know about my blog and my shop, thanks to an unsupportive friend that basically made me embarrassed to have a blog let alone an Etsy...But hopefully I'll now be able to put more time and effort into something I enjoy doing, and hopefully you guys will enjoy it too.

I'll still carry on doing the odd high street haul, although they'll never be as good as the likes of people on youtube haha..

Hopefully talk sooner than later!

Ciao!

Nail Art: Frosty Snowmen

Another quick post today! (Joys of final year and dissertations...) 

Decided to (mildly) join in with th festive spirit and do some Christmassy nails. Snowmen are super simple to do and can look cute too! I added a coat of glitter over the white but under the facial detail to attempt to make it look like snow but you can't see too well in the photo! 

Nail Art: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Quickie posts tidy as uni work is building up and I have my dissertation presentation soon. Yikes!

I decided to simplify what could've been a difficult nail art attempt by just concentrating on the eye bandana things the guys wear, i wasn't too sure if people would guess what it was so attempted the logo too, especially since splinter seemed a bit too hard to do lol. 

Base was Barry m spring green

Swatched! Models Own: BlooBloo

This is kind of a sucky swatch as I've layered a Barry m confetti topcoat over it but I hope you can get the gist of BlooBloo. It's a lovely pastel colour that could almost pass as a winter pastel

Swatched! Models Own: In The Navy

I suck at this blogging stuff sometimes. My excuse this time is that fourth year is entailing a bit more effort than I'd hoped :p

Anyways today I have models own, in the navy. 

It's a super dark navy, almost black and you can't really tell it's navy till you look closer. However I like it as an alternative to black as sometimes it can look too harsh. 

Nail Art: Halloween Blood Drip & Pumpkins

This is so late I don't even know if it's worth posting. But I was looking through my blog posts and only notice today that this didn't publish properly when I posted it in the lead up to Halloween -_-

The colourings totally off in both of the photos (was a late night nail art session and I also only have Instagram versions of the photos left on my phone) but I used Barry m Gelly keylime green an maybelline extreme blackcurrant to do some blood drip nails and models own/hed kandi for the pumpkins
