don't be gel be reem.

hey dolls, So i'm sure you've seen the barry m gellly nail varnishes all over the blogosphere but i thought i'd do a little review about them seen as though i own a few. Ok so firstly i own five of them in the colors, "blue grape", "blood orange", "mango", "satsuma" and"lychee" When these first came out i knew i had to try them but they didn't have a huge range of colors to choose from so i left it a couple weeks and they brought out a few more colors. (They now have some really cute summery pastel colors). Ok so lets get to the nitty gritty, They retail at £3.99 but boots usually have offers on so look out for those. The first thing i noticed when i applied this is how opaque the color was you only need one coat to get the color to stand out, They do take a while to dry though so be prepared to sit with your hands in the air for a good 10 minutes (story of my life) however i've not tried any fast spray or seche vite on top to speed up the process. after they've finally dried they look so shiny and clean looking which thrilled me. For me these are let down by their staying power I found they chipped after the first day and by the fourth day i had to re-do my whole nails because they were very chipped, also something i found strange was that "blue grape" smelt absolutely vile! The rest of the varnishes smelt like normal nail varnishes but the blue grape one smelt very dodgy i don't know if it's just mine or if all the blue ones smell like that but that would put me off buying it again. overall i'm half and half with these i like the colours, the shine the price but just wished they stayed on longer :(.  

so that's it for now,

let me know if you've tried them,

what did you think of them??

April glossy box.

hey ladies, another month gone another (beautiful) box opened. Yes you guessed it.. glossybox. Now Glossybox is a hit and miss box sometimes it's full of tiny samples that i'd never use where as other times it's full of things i love or have wanted to try but never got round to. Todays box was fairly good so i thought i would include it in my blog but if i'm being completely honest the main reason it's on here is because of the box. HOW PRECIOUS IS THE GLOSSYBOX ITSELF THIS MONTH! Now hand cream isn't really my thing because my hands aren't dry at all so opening a box to find hand cream i find boring :( but the rest of the box is great! I received an essie nail varnish in the shade "we're in it together" which i think is adorable it will look cute in the summer its a baby pink color it looks like it has specks of holographic glitter in it (does that make sense? I hope so) the next thing in the box was an illamasqua medium pencil in the shade "thrash" now this claims that you can wear it on your eyes lips face and body but taking into consideration the colour which is BRIGHT orange i could only wear it on my lips but this would be good for drawing on your face and body if you're going to a festival! but day to day life i wouldn't use this anywhere other than my lips. I also recieved a nip + fab body butter in "pistachio sundae" which smells STRONG! it feels lovely on the body and sinks into your skin but the smell does linger and smell very nutty. ironic. And last but not least i got a sample of perfume "SO FLIXIR PURPLE" by yves rocher and it smells divine it smells very summery and light it's not over powering because there's nothing worse than a strong perfume that gives you a headache! just me? ok. Well that's it for now just a little insight to my glossybox and my thoughts on them. I hope you liked this

:) xx
