USA Nail Polish Haul!

 Hello Lovelies!

I spent near on a year lusting over Zoya polishes, taunting myself by looking at the new collections and having a little strop every time i was reminded that they don't ship to the UK. Sad face. So on my recent trip to the States Zoya was at the top of my hit list. I was a bit underwhelmed with the selection that the Ulta i visited had, but with a few trips i managed to pick up some right beauties! I also grabbed a couple of China Glaze ones too as they had a 3 for 2 offer on that i just couldn't refuse. In a way it was kinda good that they didn't have the best selection, or i could of easily picked up double what i had! Anyways, on to the pretties!

 

 Paper Chasing - Fairy Dust - I Herd That - Frostbite

 I only own two other China Glaze polishes which i adore so i didn't really need an excuse to pick up more. I love I'm Not Lion from their Safari range and as I Herd That is pretty much the gold version of it i had to have it! If i remember rightly these were around $7-$8 each, so not the cheapest, but you can find China Glaze online in the UK for around £5 a bottle.

 

 Nidhi - Daul - Gilda - Meg - Charla - Opal

After all my lusting for months on end i finally got my hands on some Zoya, only to find when i arrived home that there is now a website that stocks them in the UK for just under £6 a bottle, DOUBLE WIN. I'm not sure how up to date they are with collections or how reputable a company they are but they have quite a few colours i want... Luckily for my bank account my spending ban has well and truly kicked in and quite frankly, i have enough! But if you'd like to check out the website click here!

Mimi - Myrta - Feifei - Ivanka - Sarah

I don't think i could even pick my favourite out of these because they are just SO pretty. As you can see I'm a fan of sparkly, glittery, bright colours! I'm not really a dark or nude nail kinda gal, although I'm loving the berry shades that are everywhere right now, so i may have to make an exception. I am SO thrilled i managed to pick up so many pretties, i think i am pretty stocked up on polish for a while!

Whats your favourite Zoya colour? Let me know!

Wet 'N' Wild - Blue Had Me At Hello

Aloha!
I thought I'd stay on the say theme of my last post and show you some more Wet 'N' Wild goodies! I have a friend who recently went on an amazing holiday to Florida (jealouussssy) and was lovely enough to pick me up some Wet 'N' Wild bits and bobs while she was out there! The first thing I'll be showing you is this bad boy, the Blue Had Me At Hello palette!

I think Wet 'N' Wild have a few variations of these palettes out at any given time and were one of the things I'd been lusting over on eBay, but didn't really want to pay over the odds for a "Drugstore" product. So needless to say i was thrilled when i opened this! The palette boasts eight shades of shadow and has a lovely range of blues, a couple of blacks and a very pretty highlight shade.

Personally i think the pigmentation is a bit half n half on these. Some of these are absolutely gorgeous and pigmentation is superb, more or less the 4 or 5 in the middle. But the few on the ends, mainly the blacks were a little sheer, powdery and generally hard to work with. But the ones that are good, are gooooood! The blacks are still useable to define but just take a bit more work, and can definitely not be used on their own.

Priced at $4 (i think) these are a bit of a steal, even with the couple of dud shades. I can't vouch for the other 8 pan palettes in this range, but I'm looking forward to picking them up when i travel over the the USA later in the year. Overall i think its a pretty decent palette, and if you can get your hands on it, for that price is definitely worth a go!

Have you tried any of the other palettes? Let me know!
