OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips SWATCHES!

Hi to all my Vibrant viewers!

I'm so sorry for neglecting you guys! I've been so busy with back to school things and revision that I just have not had any time to do any swatches. However, I'm back again for this post so staaaay tuned!

Today I have OPI's Kiss Me On My Tulips with is a beautiful mid-toned pink. I think it leans ever-so-slightly on the purple side, but it's almost impossible to tell. I really enjoyed wearing on my fingers rather than toes and feel that it is a classy pink rather than an all out neon show off pink. I would say it is much more suited to the summer when all the flowers are in full bloom mode, but I think February would also be a good time to wear it as it the perfect I'm-so-in-love-with-you shade.

Since this is my first OPI, I have to say that I really like the brush! Also, the formulation was so easy to work with; the polish was touch dry in five minutes straight and it lasted an entire week! This colour did not really need two coats as it was completely opaque in the first coat, but I did put on two just out of habit. Overall, I have to say that my OPI collection is really going so grow with this year. If only it was less expensive and more readily available....

Swatches!! Essie Naughty Nautical

Hi to all my Vibrant readers!!!
As promised, today I'm showing you my nail polish haul (view that Vibrant post here) swatches, sooooo I thought "Why not start with the one I've worn and loved the most?"
Here we have Essie's Naughty Nautical, a green-y blue with silver glitter. I love it so much I have already worn it twice in the summer (and that's a huge thing for me)!

The glitter in this colour is very much invisible when indoors, but as soon as you step into the sun shine its like an OMG moment where you cannot stop looking at your nails. My favourite thing about this polish is that it is a very versatile colour. Even though it looks very pool party type, if you work in an office of go to school, this can actually look very classy (as long as you stay indoors, that is!!).
I can't say that I have a dupe for this colour. It is very unique.

Indoors                                                                                                              Outdoors (with sunlight)


 















I have yet to buy any other shades from this collection, but my eye is on Sunday Funday. Please let me know if its worth my £7.99. Don't forget to enter my poll for most excited about film, which is right at the bottom of my blog!

Boo to the ending summer holidays!!

Mini London Haul!!!

Hey Vibrant people!

I was in London for four whole days last week. It was not supposed to be shopping experience, more of a sightseeing-and-visiting-friends-experience. However, I really couldn't help myself and just had to pop into some of the shops. I didn't really buy much but here is what I did buy:

The Superdrug in London was having a special Barry M offer, where any 2  £3.99 nail effects were for £6. So I bought another Gelly Hi-Shine in Key Lime,

 which is a lime-y green that is just perfect for spring and another Confetti Nail Effects in Liquorice,

 which is black and white confetti in a clear base. I notices that a lot of other brands seen to be doing something similar to this but in a "dots" or "sequin" sort of version. I definitely saw a L'Oreal one and a Maybelline one. 
When passing by Claire's, I saw this colour from outside (I know, the bottles are small so how in the world did I do that?),

 so I kind of walked backwards and into the shop  and purchased it. It does not have a name (or at least I couldn't find one so can please someone tell me, only if you live in the UK though because I know where the name is on the American one, where I can find the name because it is driving me CRAZY! Please...) but it is basically an extremely similar colour to Revlon Whimsical, which was limited edition (boo) so I was not able to get my hands on it, which is why I bought this instead. And at £3 it is an absolute bargain!

When we got bored of takeaways, me and my mum popped into Poundland for a quick snack and I spotted this. (Unfortunately, I was too excited to take a picture before opening it so I sort of placed them roughly where they had been and then took one...)

Now I have been behind a stamping kit for ages, but I really was not sure as Konad is not very readily available here in the UK and I didn't want to risk the fakes on Amazon. So when I saw this (for £1!) it was a lot like that moment in Ice Age 2 when Scrat (the squirrel) goes to heaven and spots the giant acorn and he sort of drops everything and ballerina-dances towards it. That was me! (don't know what I just said? Watch the clip here) I am going to post a little tutorial and how it was so keep an eye out and as I promised in my last post (here), I will be showing individual swatches of everything.

Stay Vibrant and don't forget to g+ and start following my blog for more Vibrant posts like this one,
