Models Own Nail Polish 'Pink Paradise'

Pink Paradise is a new nail polish from Models Own from their latest collection containing 5 shades. The 'splash' collection has literally just came out into Boots and I saw Pink Paradise and had to pick it up.

Pink Paradise looks like a super bright barbie pink colour but in actual fact its nowhere near as pink on the nails. Its a very sheer pink with chunks of iridescent glitter shining purple, orange, yellow and green with shimmer particles shining the same colours. The first layer is very sheer with a hint of pink and a varied amount of glitter.

I used three coats of Pink Paradise and it still does not look like the colour in the bottle. However I do like the colour on the nails, its not an overpowering pink, its a light pink colour which a heap of glitter particles. The glitter particles look stunning in the sun shine and can still pick up the glitter in dull daytime whether.

Plus if you are looking for a super quick nail polish to apply, I would not recommend this as it does take 5 mins max to dry and you need quite a few layers to make the colour decent enough.

Overall dont expect pink paradise to be as pink as in the bottle, but its still a nice pink to where with the glitter which looks so nice. You might be able to get the same colour if you layer the nail polish lots of times but I prefer just three coats.

The problem with glitter nail polishes like this one, is the removal process. I think it will take a long time and a lot of nail polish remover and patience.

First Thoughts on the Revlon Lip Butters!!

So there has been a lot of hype around the Revlon lip butters for a while now since they got released in the US about 8 months ago or something like that. Anyway everyone has been raving about this product on youtube and blogs. The lip butters were released in the UK about 2 months ago and i found these hard to find since everyone went out and bought them. Took me a while to find but i did finally tracked some down and i bought three.

I went onto my local boots and they stocked the lip butters. There were a range of lip butters from brights to nudes and i think they had about 8 shades to choose from. But looking on the boots website, they have 14 shades in total. Anyway i bought 3 lip butters since they were on offer 3 for 2 at boots at that time. The lip butters are all pink shades because i prefer pink to any other colour. The 3 that i have are Sweet Tart, Cotton Candy and Strawberry Shortcake.

First off, i love the packaging, i love the design on the front of it because its a nice and its a fishnet design which makes it more interesting rather than just a plain boring packaging. The packaging seems quite secure and not going to fall apart quickly. It's quite hard to get the packaging away from the lip butter, which is a good thing because it keeps the lip butter secure.

Sweet tart is a quite bright pink and properly the most pigmented out of all 3. Cotton candy is the lightest out of all 3 and this one to me looks like it has a gold sheen going throughout the lip butter. Strawberry shortcake is sort of like Sweet tart but a lot lighter in colour.

I havent really tried them out that much so i cannot give a review but i can say from using the lip butter a few times, they seem moisturising but quite hard to apply evenly. I think that they are ok but not over the moon with them but i think i need to give them a proper workout in order to have a proper review.
