China Glaze Nail Varnishes Review

Hey guys,
I got some new China Glaze nail varnishes the other day so I thought that I would do a review on them for you. The nail varnishes I bought was China Glaze Purple Panic (1008) and Awakening (2203) and they are both really great colours. I love them and I've been wearing them soo much!




The one above is Purple Panic, it is a neon pink that goes purple in the light, it was hard to capture that with my camera so im sorry about that. Also it needs 3 coats to get it opaque but in this I had only done two, thats why it looks a bit bad. It is a really good summery colour and looks great when applied on all nails and has had time put into it to make it look nice. It doesn't chip easily and it drys matte, which I wasn't expecting but when i saw it had dried matte it made me like the colour even more. I've had it on for a long time and you can keep it on for a long time before you have to redo them.



This one is Awakening, it is a purply plum colour that goes gold in the light, it looks like a sunset on your nails, not that my rubbish camera could capture it. It also needs 3 coats to get it opaque but in this I had only done two, and it had smudged a bit because I rushed it to do a swatch and it looks really messy and horrible, not the colour the way I painted it, sorry about that too. It is a really good colour and looks great when time has been put into it to make it look nice. It doesn't chip easily, like Purple Panic but unlike Purple Panic and it drys a creme. I had it on for three days before I had to take it off for school but during those three days it hadn't smudged or chipped and it had looked like I had just put it on. I really recommend these two colours.

China Glaze Lubu Heels Nail Varnish Review

Hey guys,
Yesterday my nail varnish arrived in the post and I thought that I would do a review on it for you. The nail varnish I bought was China Glaze Lubu Heels (601) and it is AMAZING!! I love it and i've only had it for one day!







I really love this colour but I couldn't capture it that well with my camera, for those of you that don't know Lubu Heels is a black polish with red glitter in it, it takes two coats for it to become opaque and it takes like 2 minutes to dry for each coat, I don't really know about chippage yet but i've had it on for one day and it hasn't chipped at all which is really good. Most people will think its black ploish until it hits the light and they see the red glitter. Im really impressed with this colour and I really recommend that you buy it.

BarryM and Rimmel London Nail Varnsih Review

Hey guys,
So last week sometime I bought four new nail varnishes and i thought that i would do a review on them for you. Three of them are from BarryM and the other one is a Rimmel London. The colours i bought from BarryM are Nail Paint in Red Glitter (150), Acid Yellow (300) and Mint Green (304). The Rimmel London colour is Grey Matter (805).



My favourite BarryM nail polish is the Acid Yellow (above) In the bottle the nail polish looks like a greeny yellow colour but on the nail it is a very neon yellow. You only have to apply one coat of it, which is good, but it takes a really long time for it to dry and once it is dry it chips really easily. Other than the chipping and drying it is a really good colour.



My next favourite BarryM nail polish is Mint green (above) in my picture it looks more blue but thats because i have really bad lighting in it. Anyway, this is a really nice green colour but to get it opaque you have to do two coats of it. However this nail polish doesn't take long to dry and it doesn't chip easily either. The downside is that it was a bit thick when i first used it so i had to use some nail polish thinner on it, but now it works really well.



My least favourite BArryM nail polish is the Red Glitter (above). Although it is a good colour you have to give it four coats to get it opaque, also my mum bought it for me because i ordered China Glaze Ruby Pumps and she thought it would be a good dupe. It is not. I did each coat and had to wait one hour for each coat to dry which meant i was sitting in front of the TV for four hours not being able to move my hands. Once it had dried they had all gone horrible because of how long it took. When i woke up the next day by the time i had breakfast 7 fingers had lost all the nail polish on it because it all comes off in one big chunk. This nail polish is rubbish. Maybe its just mine? i dunno but i wouldn't recommend that you buy it. it is just a red glitter and the China Glaze Ruby Pumps is much better, you should buy that one.



My last nail polish is the Rimmel London Grey Matter (above). It is a very nice grey creme, however the sales assistant in the shop told me it was a matte but it is not and i really wanted a matte grey as i already have grey cremes. I tried it anyway on all my nails and it is actually better than all the other grey cremes i have. It dries in like a minute and you only need one coat of it, it doesn't leave streak marks on the nail of where the brush was and im happy about that. It doesn't chip easily and stayed on for like 3 days before i had to redo my nails. Overall i would recommend that you buy this nail varnish, it is a good addition to any collection. I still want my matte grey though, oh well. Does anyone know of any good ones? if so let me know. Thanks.
