L'Oreal Confetti Nail Polish

Glitter Top Coat

Confetti

L'Oreal

£4.99

Nail varnish is quite possibly my biggest beauty downfall

I love it, it's my favourite product to buy and you'll never find me with no colour on my nails

When I saw Confetti popping up on numerous blogs I knew I had to have it, to me it's a cheaper version of the speckled nail polishes Illamasqua have released (which I'm desperate to get my hands on!)

I hunted high and low for a bottle all around my local town and gave up only to find it doing the weekly shop in Tesco, straight in the trolley

The polish itself is a clear base with teeny tiny silver micro glitter which is hardly noticeable on the nails, the star of the show is the different sized black and white matt glitter which gives the effect of speckled nails.

I think this top coat works best on top of pale colours and also brights

In the above swatches I have put it on top of various Barry M Gelly shades.

Lychee, the nude, works really well and I actually have it on my nails now

I don't think you get the full effect of it on darker polishes as the black glitter is lost

Have you tried this polish?

Or the Illamasqua speckled polishes?

Sleek i-Divine Palette in 'Sparkle 2'

i-divine Eyeshadow Palette

Sparkle 2

£7.99

Sleek

Sleek are always bringing out new eyeshadow palettes with gorgeous colours in

The formulation is spot on and the colours on trend

The price is pretty good too considering you get twelve eyeshadows 

Al though they used to be a little cheaper, it nearly feels like each new release is marked up a little higher

I doubt I'd pay over a tenner only as I remember when the palettes only cost £6

This newest addition has an array of sparkly, shimmery shadows

I picked it up just before Christmas so it was the perfect festive offering when a glitter overdose is encouraged

Being that all the shadows are glitter and shimmers there is a definite lack of matte shades but for me that's absolutely fine as I don't really use matte eyeshadows much

The glitter is quite prominent in the pan but once blended slightly into the lid it's much more subtle and wearable

Of course if you pack it on the glitter packs a punch

I like the fact that there are still some neutral colours included (being favourites)

But they have a lovely shimmer, almost duo chrome effect in some cases, and are great everyday shades.

Chocolate Penny is a lovely warm gold and looks lovely paired with Truffle

I've also been loving Illusion and Mulled Wine as something a bit different to my normal look and have been incorporating them into my work eye look

The shadows in the bottom row are a bit cooler in tone 

Especially Tinsel being a cold silver, this looks great as a liner

Starry Night is great for a smokey eye with a hint of glitter

A matte black is included in every Sleek palette and this one with a hint of sparkle gorgeous

As with all Sleek palettes the shadows are all pigmented well and are super smooth

For some reason I like that the eyeshadows don't have the usual criss cross imprint on them, I like the way they're smooth.

Would you wear a glittery eye for everyday?

Accessorize 'Damselfly' Nail Polish

Accessorize Nail Polish in Damselfly

£3.45 from Superdrug

On a recent rummage in Superdrug I saw a few new nail polishes on the Accessorize stand

These instantly reminded me of the Nails Inc Sprinkles polishes which I loved but still haven't purchased...seeing these for so much cheaper makes me think I don't need to though

This specific shade is pretty much exactly the same as the Pudding Lane shade

It's a gorgeous light blue, turquoise base with glitter suspended throughout the polish

It lasts so well and I've had so many compliments on it

I'll definitely be picking up the other shades, they are gorgeous!

I can't find anything on either the Accessorize or Superdrug websites about these new polishes so don't know what other shades are around..just have to keep hunting

Love

Belle
