NAILS OF THE WEEK #3

Hey guys!
Sorry this didn't get posted yesterday, I forgot to press 'publish' haha! This week I have pretty much been wearing the same nail polish, just in different way. I'm totally in love with it! I promise to mix it up next.. maybe.


Nails #1 - Miss Sporty Metal Flip in 040 with Barry M Nail Paint in Yellow Topaz Glitter.



Nails #2 - Miss Sporty Metal Flip in 040 with Rimmel I Heart Lasting Finish in Your Majesty and Barry M Nail Paint in Silver Glitter/


Nails #3 - Miss Sporty Metal Flip in 040 with Barry M Nail Paint in Silver Glitter tips.

I think my overall favourite this week is Nails #2. I think it's fair to say I'm obsessed with glitter nail polishes and in love with metal-like polish colours! What has been on your nails this week? Let me know below!

RIMMEL STAY MATTE PRESSED POWDER



£3.99 from Boots.

As someone who has oily skin, I think it's quite hard to find a powder that doesn't fade away during the day and help keep that oil away. This is the best thing I have found so far! The Rimmel says that it 'Controls shine for up to 12 hours. Minimises the appearance of pores with a natural, matte finish. You won't go out without it!' I think that it does control shine, but not for 12 hours with re applying. I would say 4 - 5 hours before it completely goes on me which I think is pretty reasonable. It does give a lovely matte finish, but make sure you don't apply too much as it can go cakey! It has a typical powdery smell, which is not over powering at all and good for all you people that don't like having a scent on your face. The packaging is okay for the price, but I do find (like you do with most powders) that it tends to crack and break when coming to the end of the product. Is that something to do with the packaging though? This is my second or thrid one so I would defiantly buy it again, but this isn't my favourite powder. I prefer the E.L.F HD Powder (review here) but this is good enough for the time being. I would recommend this to everyone really. If they have you're shade, or if you prefer transparent which I do, then go for it! Have you tried this powder? Do you like it? Let me know below!
