Embellish Pink polish and Multi Nail Beads Review

Happy Sunday everyone,

I hope you are well. Yesterday we went to see the new 300 film at the cinema and it was brilliant. It had me gripped and I ate my sweet popcorn like no tomorrow! Tonight will be spent watching Once Upon A Time season 2- one of my favourite shows.

So onto the nail kit which was a bargainous £2.50 from Primark. The kit comes with a neon pink Barbie polish, multi-coloured metallic beads and a little funnel to make it easier to place unused beads back into the pot.

I've not actually tried the caviar beads before even though I have the Ciate and they have been around for a while. I think it's the sunshine that motivated me to try something new and ta-da my nails have been Princessed.

Embellish 3d Manicure set from Primark.

I painted each finger with one coat of the pink polish and added beads, whilst the polish was still wet, to my thumb and ring fingers.
I caught any spare beads into the plastic tray which was inside the box as you can see on the photo above.
It was a lot easier to do than I had anticipated.


Here is the finished result with only one coat of polish on each finger. The polish was easy to apply and wasn't streaky. The polish and beads look really effective and would be perfect for a night out or simply to brighten up a day.

The edges of the nails with the beads on are quite easily knocked so they would require a touch up but for a fun few hours these are perfect. The beads are quite hard to get out of the plastic tub due to static and a lot of them just bounced and landed on the floor so next time it would be better to use a paper or card tray.

Have you tried caviar beads before?

Love Laura xoxo

Horror Halloween collection


I know we're in September but I can't help planning ahead to All Hallow's Eve on October 31st. There's something about this event that I'm intrigued by. I love anything magical , dressing up and I need to pop on Hocus Pocus to thoroughly get in the 'spirit'. Loved that film when I was younger.
I get inspired by visuals and thought I would have them all into once place here.
Think I will be going to a Halloween party this year so I need to plan an outfit. I love all things crafty and being creative but I will buy one to wear as my days of wearing bin bags are over!

Love the cat socks- with the cooler weather they will keep your tootsies warm. The bat decorations are a bargain and this will act as a feature. I adore the nail art, and usually end up wearing something with a tutu!

Bubblegum kiwi NOTD


My NOTD using the B. Complete nail polish in Bubblegum that I received in a Superdrug goody bag.
This look reminds me of Hawaii and cocktails :)

The wheel of fruits  I got from Ebay for 99p free delivery.

The polish has a very wide brush and at first I thought it would be too large for my fingernails and would make a mess but actually it makes application that little bit easier as it swipes across quickly. You do have to be quite quick to apply.
The polish needs two coats as it turns opaque on the second coat.
It has a glossy smooth finish and I love this colour.
Compare to other brands I'm not sure that this will be long-lasting or not. at £4.99 I wouldn't buy the rest of the range as to me the packaging and most of the other colours don't appeal to my unicorn fairytale taste!

Do you ever find that when you add a second coat, even after waiting, it's still tacky and if you slightly knock your nails it smudges and you can literally scrape it off or is it just me?!
