Cult Nails Charlatan

My second order from the magnificent Cult Nails arrived today.

I was so excited/impatient that in the hour between coming home from work and going to ballet I had to try one out.

Charlatan is the one I am most excited about. Seeing people pictures of it in action made me need it. Not want it, need it.

It's a gorgeous top coat that is pink toned with micro green glitter suspended in it. Amazing.

I cannot wait to try out out on different colour bases and over the top of stamped nail art.

My pictures don't even come close to doing it justice, I definitely recommend trying this or any other Cult Nail polishes out. It's one hell of an indie brand!

Pastel Eyes- featuring Sugarpill Heartbreaker Palette

It was a pretty miserable Monday morning, bad weather, no more weekend, back to work. So it felt necessary to have some colour in my day.

When I think colour, I think Sugarpill. So I grabbed my Sweetheart palette and set to work.

It ended up being quite a subtle look as I used a neutral base. Next time I might go for a white base to make it brighter.

Bobbi Brown for Breast Cancer

To support breast cancer awareness month Bobbi Brown released a limited edition set with Pink Peony illuminating bronzing powder with a mini blusher brush with a pink handle.

The set costs £35 with £5 being donated to breast cancer research.

I thought it was a really cute set and I was desperate for a travel sized face brush so I went for it.

The blush itself has the breast cancer ribbon embossed on it and is a lovely soft pink with micro gold shimmer. This is a lovely set, the one thing that could make it better is a bigger percentage of the sales price to go to the charity.

Burgundy Lips - Featuring Rocker from Mac

Mac finally released their By Request collection on the UK website.

The collection was a vote by customers to bring back their favourite limited edition products.

After voting ended the three winning lip glosses, lipsticks and eye shadows were announced.

A few pieces caught my eye and today I have the perfectly vampy and on trend lipstick in Rocker.

It's a gorgeous matte burgundy with tiny gold flecks. I love this colour, perfect for the winter months!

Mixed purple nails

After seeing an amazing mani on The Polished Perfectionists blog I thought I'd have a go myself.

Although it is nowhere near her league I still like the result. I used a variety of OPI nail varnishes and Cult Nails in Charming. If you fancy giving this a go use any colours you have to hand.

I used the spots on Cheeky plate CH6 and the flowers on Bundle Monster plate BM-306

Happy weekend everyone!
