Nails of the Week - Friday 7th March 2014

Hello blog lovers!

Hope you've all been having a great week. I did a bit of a vanishing act this week but I'm back at it so let's me share with you the NOTW!

This week I've been love the nude nails by Topshop.  When I said nude I really wasn't lying as this sexy, light wash of Brown is called Naked and it's number is 101! Coincidence, I think not as I didn't even have to use my trusty Barry M - All in one as base coat to pull off the flawless look but I did use it as a Top coat for extra added shine. The shade is quite light compared to my hands but I think the colour is very complementary to all. Naked reminded me of the colour Rihanna was wearing for the Loud album art.

It was super easy to apply to my nails, glided on with ease. I applied Two coats and then a top coat followed by a nail drying spray as it was taking a while on it's own.

As always, the packaging is cute and stands out from everything in my draw (it's the only Topshop polish I own) and after having it for over Six months, it hasn't turned into a gloopy mess as most of the polishes I own do.

I've been trying out a little nail art  this week so hopefully I'll start posting something other than NOTW.

Thanks for stopping by and have great weekend,

Eyes- Undressed Palette - MUA
Lips- Rumour has it -Topshop
Eye liner- Fast Stroke -Collection

Nivea Pure and Natural

I don't know about you but I think this is the cheapest and most effective lip balm I've ever had.

The one and only Nivea have out done themselves with the beautifully packaged Pure and Natural Milk and Honey lip balm.

Lets start with the packaging. It feels as smooth as your lips are going to feel after you've applied this wonder product to your lips.
The product is encased in a transparent plastic and sealed to a cardboard backing which I love because nothing is worse than checking through products of any sort to see if they've been tampered with. One less thing to worry about.

The lip balm unit has the trusted Nivea Logo a small image of yummy oozing honeycomb and to the left we have the milk splashing toward the honeycomb ensuring me that my lips will be hydrated, soft and supple in no time.

Honey is know for antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-fungal properties as well as being extremely soothing and containing vitamins A, B and D. Milk is very calming to the delicate skin on the lips.

I've heard so many people talk, make videos, blog about this product and in the short time from purchasing it to applying it to my much needed lips (I left my beauty bag at home) and experiencing the magic it can do, I wish I'd bought it sooner. For me, the Nivea Pure & Natural Milk & Honey is my go to chapped lips problem solver.

With love 

Dawn
