Maybelline Express Finish.

Nail varnish is like my thing, it's like my Kryptonite! So I thought I'd go all out to my posts about nails better and I got my hands on some plastic nails wheels so I can show you proper swatches. For Christmas last year I received a set of Maybelline Express Finish Polishes which claim to dry in 50 seconds and the colour variety is just gorgeous. I haven't used them that much and I have no idea why because they are really gorgeous and I should make use of them more. But having over 150 nail polishes it is difficult to keep up and use them all equally! 

L-R, Special Sparkle, Pink Carats, Amethyst Glimmer, Copper Glimmer, Jade Flash, Jewels n Berries, Berry Lovely.

2 coats on each swatch.

As you can see from the swatches, the first four are metallic, which I think is just gorgeous! Then the deep purple colour is the only matte colour in the set but it is probably my favourite, I just love the darkness and sexiness of this colour! And then the last two are glitter polishes, the first is pearly colour with flecks of silver glitter running through it and then the second is a clear polish with large and small multi-coloured flecks of glitter.

They really live up to their 50 second drying time, honestly I was so shocked at how quickly I can apply second coats on the swatches! And having worn these before I can say that the result on the nails is just as great. I don't think that these are still sold in boots but you will be able to get them on places like Amazon or Ebay.

Tuesday's Tip #1

Thought this was quite a catchy name for a post so I had to make something of it, who knows how regular this is going to be as I'm not the most knowledgable person so I'm probably going to run out of tips within two posts of this! But I promise to give it my best shot!

 My first tip is going to be on the foundation you chose. Yesterday someone asked me what I was wearing on my face and when I told them they then questioned how I thought to do that. This made me think, has no one else thought of this?! People spend so much money trying to find the perfect foundation but why not just mix a few together?

On my daily routine I either use two or three foundations, by this I don't mean this many layers of foundation, I just mean mixing them together. The first foundation I use is Vichy Derma-Blend Corrective Foundation in Opal, this gives me the coverage I need with just a smidge of a squeeze from the tube. It's a very good foundation with excellent coverage but I wanted something with a bit more radiance. This is where my second foundation comes in, I love  Rimmel Wake-Me-Up Foundation, I had it before I brought Vichy and I really did like it. My problem with it was that I found I was using to much product to get the right amount of coverage, and mixing these two foundations is just perfect!

Usually I stop here with foundation, but if I have fake tanned my face is so pale compared to be body -considering I use medium strength tan and opal with ivory foundation, you can see my issue.- So I decided to make use of a foundation that I brought in the wrong colour, Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 120. This adds the perfect about of darkness to the other two foundations.

So to some up this tip, if you have any foundations you don't like try mixing them up with some others and see what you can come up with, it's definitely worth a shot!

I hope this has been good advice, I'm sure the majority of you have already thought of this but I thought it was worth telling you about it, speak soon, becciixx.
