My 5 Favourite Nail Polishes + New Video!

Today I thought it is about time to write a beauty post again, while I am trying to edit the video, that should be live since yesterday already. Due to audio issues we didn't want to upload it because it was quite crap and that's not what it should be. So I am editing it again just now and I hope that this time it will finally work.
So back to the nail polishes!
My nails are sadly a total mess because they keep breaking and so on and they are always way too short to look pretty and I also hate it when I don't wear nail polish. However, since the beginning of the summer holidays I somehow didn't paint my nails really often because I just couldn't be bothered to be honest. I need to fix the nail polish every day as my nails start splitting in half and the nail polish chips off obviously. It is really annoying and I don't even know any more what else I could do to make them strong.
I even used to have gel nails to make them stronger and help them grow but they still broke with the gel. And that was painful. So I stopped.

And now I try to make them look at least a bit prettier with nail polish and I have some polishes that I like a lot and I'll show you which ones they are.


My most recent purchased nail polish is from MUA and I've read on a blog quite a long time ago that they only cost 1 pound and that for this price they are really good. So after my dentist appointment I thought it was about time to get myself a treat and I just chose a purple MUA nail polish from Superdrug. It is called Plum Noir and it contains 6,2 ml. The bottle itself is so tiny and cute, but yes, I used two coats and I really have to admit that I am totally happy with how it looks like.
So maybe I'll go for some more of them because you can never have enough shades of nail polish! Especially for that price!

The second recent nail polish I got was a white one from Barry M in shade Matt White. It contains 10 ml and was 2,99. As it is a white polish, I need three coats to make it look pretty, but still, it is a nice result in the end. There are no smudges after the third coat and I think that's still acceptable with a white nail polish. 
This is my second Barry M nail polish, and it can happen that in the future there will be more of them in this little floral bag.

When it started to get warmer, earlier this year I bought a nail polish from Essie with my mum. It is called Play date and contains 13,5 ml. They are pricey and with two coats needed, they could be a bit better in my opinion. But they are still good and from time to time I think I can go for one Essie polish. I actually have two of them over here and left about four in Vienna, so that my mum could use some of them too.

Before I got the nail polish from Essie, I bought my first Barry M nail polish during my stay in Scotland in April. I got it spontaneously from River Island and it is the red one, called Raspberry. It is a pretty burgundy colour, I'd say and again, it contains 10 ml and I like to apply two coats of this one as well to make the colour strong and not see through.


And the nail polish I bought already back in February in Poland is from Golden Rose and it is a matte black polish. It is awesome because it really is matte and it covers up so nicely that you usually only need only one coat. It contains 11,5 ml and costs about 10 zl, which is about 2 pounds. Well, that's a bargain I'd say. And I also need to say that all Golden Rose nail polishes are really good and I'd highly recommend them.


So these were my 5 favourite nail polishes at the time, I can't guarantee you that I won't buy any new ones that will be great in the near future, but I'll try not to go totally crazy.

Also, I finally managed to somehow edit the video. It is not like I wanted to have it, but we just can't get how you can add audio tracks but turning down the volume a bit so that you could hear the original audio properly. If anybody knows and could help, please let me know in the comments!

AND LOOK AT THIS! THE VIDEO IS FINALLY LIVE! GO AND CHECK IT OUT NOW!

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
