Haul: China Glaze Haunting
Well we all know that Halloween is fast aproaching, I myself cannot WAIT! Anyway, today I recieved my China Glaze Haunting Collection in the post and I was SOO excited when I heard it had arrived.
I, personally, think that the packaging is pretty. Anyway, the set came with four colours.
Left to Right: It's Alive, Ghoulish Glow, Black Mesh & Fast Forward Top Coat.
This set is good, I really love It's Alive. It looks like a better Zombie Zest from last years collection. Actually, It's Alive is what I wanted Zombie Zest to be, even though Zombie Zest is a good colour. I am particulary excited to use Ghoulish Glow. I literally put it to the light for thirty seconds and when I cupped my hands around it, it was glowing briliantly. I had been wanting Black Mesh from the Crackle collection, I had every other colour except that one. Finally, the only downside to this set was that it had the same top coat as last years. And I didn't really like it, maybe I will now? Anyway, I will do a review closer to Halloween to get people into the mood. Have a good day.

Review: Rio Nail Foils
Hey guys,
This is my final opinion on the Rio nail foils kit and, I really REALLY hate it! Seriously. I've had them for about a year now and I can't get them to look nice no matter what I do!
This is a picture of the kit (which I got from Google Images) it has very clear instructions on how to use the product too.
I've tried them on fake nails, natural nails, with a base coat, without a base coat, a base colour, no base colour, I've tried all the foils, I've played around with timing, colours, application, tools, EVERYTHING! And all they end up looking like is this:
The one on the left is the gold foil, It applied okayish after much trial and error but still had patches. Then, as soon as I applied the top coat that was supplied in the kit it looked like this. The one on the right is usually how they end up looking, I apply the foil, rub it down and this is how much transfers. And it leaves a horrible residue too.
I don't understand, is it the adhesive? Is it the time? Is it the foil? Base coat? Application? I wouldn't suggest buying this kit considering it was £25. If you want to try foiling I would suggest getting a cheaper kit so that if it doesn't work you won't have wasted that much money.

So Frustrated!!!
Today I made a trip to the shops to pay the hefty price of £25 for the Rio nail foil kit. I had done my research on it and looked up other people's reviews on this kit and average nail foils. The overall opinion was that nail foiling is good and very easy to use and that the Rio kit was worth every penny. Upon arriving home I immediatly opened the kit, read the instructions and watched the DVD. (Kit Picture Below)
This is what is inside the foiling kit. (Picture taken from google)
The only thing they failed to mention was the fact that you have to be so very precise about everything you do otherwise it looks crappy. Hopefully as I get more experienced with the kit I will actually be able to get it to work. So far I have done around 9 tries and every time I applied a different foil and changed the things I had done before to get it to work. No such luck so far but because of my frustration at the stupid thing I painted my nails China Glaze 108 Degrees and Blue Iguana. Hopefully the review will be up in the next couple of days and I will give the kit a few more tries before I give up on it and write the review. I guess this is more of an update really. Oh well.

Review: Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
I just have to say one thing. Wow. I LOVE this top coat.
Picture of the bottle (taken from google)
I painted my hands with China Glaze Good Witch? with two thick layers. I didn't wait for them to dry and I put on one coat of Seche Vite. Good Witch? is a dazzling pink glitter but it does leave a bit of a gritty texture on your nails. Usually with my normal Sally Hansen top coat I have to wait for the layers of varnish to dry and then put on two coats of top coat to get it smooth. With Seche Vite I used one coat and it made it silky smooth. By the time you have put top coat on all fingers I guarantee that the nail varnish will be dry. Overall, this top coat is amazing and has no magor flaws. The only thing I noticed is that it has a strong smell and gives a bit of shrinkage at the tip of the nail but i can put up with that. I would recommend that you buy this top coat.
