Christmas is over, but I got lots of nail goodies.

Christmas is officially over. But I received and treated myself to some lovely nail bits and bobs. 

Models own - I was shopping in bluewater and couldn't keep away from the models own stall. They had a brilliant offer on, 6 items for £15. 😍
These are the ones I treated myself too.
From left to right...
'Scented' Grape Juice- I mainly bought this one for the pastel colour. It's meant to be scented but I can say that there wasn't much 'grape' scent too it. Apart from the scratch and sniff sticker at the top. I'm not really bothered about it as, who paints their nails for the scent? Overall great pastel colour. 
Base and top coat- I have quite a few base and top coat polishes, you can never have enough and I like to try new ones. I found this one quite thick, maybe a bit too thick it didn't quite dry that quickly either. But as I applied it for a top coat for a full finish. It did make my nails shine bright in the light which gives you nails a lovely finish. So I'm moderately happy with this. Although I think I do prefer my Barry M.
Obsidian- this one I didn't really like I don't know if it's because the texture of the liquid was way too thick, or the finish look. Either way I don't think I will be using this one much. It's meant to be a 'matte' finish, well it's far from that. It would be much better without the racy glitter lumps in it which are far too lumpy, you also have to apply about 3-4 coats for a black finish as it comes out more light grey. 
Pink fizz- this one is the best of all 6 purchases. It's absolutely beautiful. You can use this on its own by maybe applying 2 thick coats, or you can use it as a top coat over a base colour. I personally will be wearing this on its own. It's like a glistening champagne colour. Very classy and also perfect for a night out and even everyday wear. Would 100% recommend you but this one as you won't be disappointed. 
Nude beige- this one is your typical nude colour. It's very simplistic but that seems to be the 'in' thing at the moment, this shade comes out as a perfect finish, the texture is just right and you only need one coat. I would say this is a perfect shade for a casual/ everyday use. I would personally add a little sparkly or some rhinestones for a night out or a special occasion, as its a but plain Jane for me. 
Scented blueberry muffin- this one again is supposed to be a 'scented' one but still Jo scent once painted on, but again I bought it for the pastel colour. This is just so cute! You can do so much with this I've tried it out with baby blue glitter and midnight blue glitter it compliments both colours and is a great base colour for any design you wish to create or play with shades of blue. It even looks great on its own with a top glossy clear coat of course. 

Hope you enjoyed reading this review and hope it's of any help to your future buys! xox
