NOTW & REVIEW : Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

Well i painted my nails last night and i couldn't be bothered to do any handmade nail art so i decided to use my Barry M white crackle cause i don't use it as often as i used to. I also thought i would try out Barry M Colbat Blue which i got a few weeks ago and haven't tried yet. I only had to use one coat of Colbat Blue , its probably my favourite blue out of my whole collection.
I forgotten how much i love crackle , but i get bored of crackle which is why i do different nail designs each week.

Review : Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat


Okay now onto the second part of the post. I few weeks ago I was running low on my regular top coat and i desperately needed another so I decided to get the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat from superdrug. Once again , I have went and chucked out the receipt. But I'm definitely sure it was in the £4-5 range , if not a little over £5. They sell this in Boots too and some other places here in the UK but I'm not sure were else.
That's the Bottle ^
The packaging's about what you would expect for a product that price , it came in a little box too. You know those boxes which most Sally Hansen stuff come in? But yeah , that's in the bin too -__- It drys pretty fast too , about 30 seconds like it says on the bottle/box but then i would still leave it for another few minutes just too make sure it drys completely. So its definitely got that "Insta-Dri" part. It says on the box that it makes your manicure last "up to ten days" however  I completely disagree. I always paint my nails on Sunday , but generally by Monday night my nails have chipped. I've tried this topcoat many times now and not once have i ever got along with it at all. When you apply it the product also has dragged some of my polish about as well , which is extremely annoying when you go to all that effort to make your nails look nice.

Would I Buy This Product again? No , definitely not.

Another NOTW & Review : Sally Hansen Strengthening Polish Remover

So today i re-painted my nails again and this time i decided to do Hello Kitty nails. I used all Barry M polishes and my Sally Hansen Nail Strenghthener and Sally Hansen top coat. So heres what they turned out like.
I should of used a darker pink , or even a red for the bows you cant see them well in this photo. Superisingly they took just over an hour , unlike some of the other designs i've done.

Review: Sally Hansen Strengthening Polish Remover

A while ago i was running low on polish remover and I needed some more. The one i was running low on wasn't exactly a good polish remover, it took a while to remove and made my nails feel funny after i took of my polish. So i went to Superdrug and saw Sally Hansen did 4 different Polish removers:
  1. For soft thin nails
  2. For dry, brittle nails
  3. For artificial and sensitive nails
  4. For all nail types
I think they do another actetone free one too, not sure on that one. Anyway , i got the "For soft thin nails" one , cause well.. i have soft thin nails :)

As you can tell I'm kind of running out


The formula is pink , and it didn't cost me all that much either only around the £1-£2 range. I cant find it on the Superdrug website, and threw out the receipt a while ago.

I actually love this polish remover, it does what it says on the bottle. It removes polish really easily , you only need a few swipes. Not only that but it also does "strenghten" your nails. Its getting later now and i got up real early this morning so I'm gunna cut it short.

Would i buy this product again ? Yes , Definitely
Rate ? 5/5

NOTW~ Valentines Day "Love Heart Sweets" Nails

Well this week i tried doing "Love Heart Sweet" nails, simply cause of two reasons.
  1. I was entering a nail art contest.
  2. I thought it would tag along nice with the recent launch of the new MUA Love Hearts Range.
I used my 4 new polishes i got yesterday , from the love hearts range. And another shade from MUA's £1 range, Yes only one pound :) I also used my Sally Hansen nail strenghner which i also got yesterday, I'll be reviewing it in a few weeks when I've had time to see if it works.
So heres a picture of what it all turned out like.
Thought I'd jazz up the picture with a packet of love hearts ;)

Not my most favourite design ever but It'll do till next Sunday. Any ideas of what i could do on my nails next week ? Or any ideas what i can blog about next?
Thanks for Reading
Bye x

SuperDrug Haul - INCLUDING New MUA Love Heart Range!!!

As some of you may or may not no MUA have recently collaborated with Love Hearts, to create a limited edition Love Hearts range including 6 polishes and 5 lip balms. For only £2 each! Well today in my local superdrug i was lucky to find the full range so i picked up 4 lip balms and 4 polishes:
Arnt they just so cute?
The lip balms are 10g each! I just couldn't get over it , 10g for £2 they come in a great range of colours and they smell great too! They smell really sweet , but not too sweet that its overwhelming. You cant tell on this photo but the shade "kiss me" is a really bold bright red.

These are the four polishes i got , the shades from left to right are : I want u , U r fab , U Rok , U & I
These actually look like real dupes for the models own polishes.

I also picked up a Barry M lipstick, i won one once in a competition last year it was shade 146 i think , it was a real bright illuminate pink. I love it , but its not really something you could wear everyday. So today i picked up a much less bright pink.
I really love the packaging on these, the only bad thing is if you had more then one you couldn't really tell what shade it is by just looking at it.

I picked up shade 155 , Pretty Pink. Its one of the newest shades according to the website :)

Its like the perfect colour for me.
It shows up real well on the lips and is quite moisturising. Its a slighty lighter pink on the lips.

The next thing i didn't buy in Superdrug. I bought it at this stand that sells reduced makeup , they actually sell quite a variety of brands , max factor , rimmel , wet'n'wild , Saffron ect.ect. They also sell reduced Sally Hansen nail care products , the average price being around £1.99 so not bad at all.
I got this , it claims to stop your nails braking and prevent them from peeling and splitting. Basically its a nail strengthener. I usally would watch reviews before buying Sally Hansen , as lets be honest, its not at all that cheap. But for £1.99 you cant go wrong.

I'll probably be reviewing these products sometime next week , along with swatches of the lip balms and polishes.
Till then , I'll see you later, Thanks for reading :)
