Metallic? You decide…

I’m so happy that my follower count is still rising today. Thanks, everyone and I hope you like what you’re reading (:

Plate: Fauxnad M69

Base Colour: BYS – 108 Metallic Fuschia

Fauxnad Colour: Stargazer – 118 White

Top Coat of NYC

Not the best pictures, but as you can see, this ‘Metallic Fuschia’ isn’t really metallic, IMHO anyways 😀

Also, a quick note on the fauxnads. Fauxnad plates are good value but as you can see (especially if you click to see the larger version), the quality of the stamp once on the nail is definitely not up to Konad par – just something to consider if you’re thinking of buying Fauxnads.

By the way, May the 4th be with you today – for any Star Wars fans out there!

BYS Haul

I love BYS nail polishes, as you might have deduced from my constant use of them!

They sell the range of make-up in a small clothes shop called QS for the bargain price of £2.50 each and they are factually amazing. I haven’t seen them on sale anywhere else but if you’ve seen them, please let me know. There are so many colours to chose from and they go on smooth and wear for a long time.

So.. when I visited QS on the weekend and saw that all BYS make up was on offer at 3 for £5, how could I resist. And with my 20% student discount, I got them for £4!Definitely my bargain of the week. I like these colours so much that I thought I would show you…

They are…

Left: 108 Metallic Fuschia

I wouldn’t call this metallic, just very shimmery. It’s a nice warm pink, without being too ‘in your face’ like some hot/neon pinks.

Centre: 137 Pink On The Brink

A mix of pink and silver glitter in clear polish.

Right: 09 Flirty Sparkle

A reddy pink polish with tiny pieces of silver glitter. Nightmare to remove but worth it.

Here, as promised – a brand new post.

Konad Plate: M56

Base Colour: All About Face from Tesco – Soft Lilac

Konad Colour: BYS – N146 Royal Purple

Top Coat of NYC

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned before, but this NYC Top Coat I always use is AMAAAZing because it doesn’t smudge the Konad designs like many topcoats. I found it in a store called ‘The Original Factory Shop‘, which is basically a seconds store, for £1 a bottle. I bought a few but they don’t have any more and it’s near impossible to find anywhere 🙁
