Shipwrecked with a bit of Witchcraft thrown in....

Today I have another NOTD featuring George at Asda nail polishes. I have recently become more and more addicted to nail polish and George has become one of my obsessions as well. The polishes are priced at £1.75, which is a great price, their colour choice is fantastic, I like how they apply and how they last. They may not be the greatest ever polish in the world but I find them value for money. I don't mind a little tip wear when I have only paid £1.75, though I mainly tend to wear my George colours on my toes.

Today's NOTD features a new shade called Shipwrecked, a lovely turquoise/green shade, and Whitchcraft, a grey shade.

Out of the two shipwrecked in my favourite, I don't actually seem to own a shade like this, the closet I have a shimmery. I can't wait to use this more in the summer. I have applied 2 coats of each and as with my other George colours I am happy with the finish.

As I mentioned George nail polishes have become a bit of an obsession for me at the moment. I can't help but have a noisy at the make-up stand when I pop into my local Asda. They have some lovely bright shades available at the moment as well that I want to pick up. The other colours I have at the moment are Frost Bite, Venom, Mysterious, Deceit, Shock and Twister.

Have you tried any George make-up or nail polish? Do you have a favourite shade?

Thanks

Magazine Freebie's...

This month there seems too be two good Magazine Freebie's you can get a choice of 3 colours of Nails Inc with Instyle magazine and a free The Body Shop Body Butter with Marie Claire.

I have picked up Intsyle magazine to get the Nails Inc Colours, the shades available are Fashion Fawn, Orange Candy and Electric Teal. The magazine retails at £3.75 I think and I have ended up getting two of them so far as you get full size nail varnishes that normally retails at £11. I have got Electric Teal and Fashion Fawn, I wasn't that tempted with Candy Orange (it's a bit bright for me). You also get a 20% off voucher off online purchases included in the magazine so I am tempted to look to get an actual Nails Inc shade as well.

I have used two coats for above and I have to say these applied well and I really like both shades - particularly Fashion Fawn.

After seeing Liloo post on Fashion Fawn I decided to take a look at my other brown/taupe/beige colours. Considering this was never a colour I though I liked, I do have quite a few shade.

I have Barry M Mushroom, Nails Inc Jermyn Street, No 7 Beanie, Nails Inc Fashion Fawn, Nails Inc Caramel, 17 Forever, Nails Inc London and E.L.F Desert Haze (I also forgot to photograph Topshop Big Smoke)

The closet shade to Fashion Fawn is Barry M Mushroom or Nails Inc Jermyn Street but Topshop Big Smoke is also quite similar.

Have you picked up your Nails Inc Freebie? What Nails Inc colour should I get with the 20% voucher?

Thanks

Violets are Blue...

I have been looking to buy lots of lovely citrus and bright colours recently when looking at nail polishes. But when I was organising my nail polish into its new storage this morning I found this colour, that I completely forgot I had. I have now popped this onto me toes and I quite like it, I have just included a fake nail swatch though as no-one likes feet/toes pictures.

Its No7 Speed Dry in Violetta that retail at £7 and the choice of other colours available can be seen here. The image has made this polish look a lot more than it is, it does have a great purple tint to it as well. I actually got mine when I had the £5 off No7 Voucher, so its only makes it £2. So for £2 I don't mind the no7 Vouchers but I would never pay full price for these nail polishes as there are far better, cheaper polishes out on the market.

Thanks
