The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colours - Darks

Hello everyone :)

Today I have swatches of the rest of my Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colours to share. If you saw my last Body Shop post, you saw that I have split my birthday haul in to two parts, light colours and dark. Today, it's the turn of the dark shades.

All swatches are two coats of colour with a top coat.

First up is The Body Shop Green, and this one pretty much explains itself! The formula on this one is quite crelly like - 





Next is Big Smoke, a dark grey creme - 





And finally, Chocolate Cutie. A warm, reddish brown. This one again has a crelly formula, similar to The Body Shop Green - 





I have to say that I didn't enjoy using these as much as the light shades. 
However, I think that that is because I just prefer brighter colours :)
The quality is still good though, and I would definitely recommend these polishes!

The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail olours are £5 each available at Thebodyshop.co.uk.

I hope you're all having an awesome week so far!

Chanel - Phenix

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend so far. 

Today I have swatch of Chanel Phenix to share with you. This polish was release as part of the Christmas collection, Collection Plumes Precieuses de Chanel. You can check the official Press Release HERE

The entire collection is Limited Edition so get it while you can!

In the swatch I am wearing two coats of colour with my SV top coat - 




I think this colour is absolutely perfect for the Christmas period! Inspired by the mythical Phoenix fire bird, this is a fiery true red creme polish. The formula is also lovely as it always is with Chanel.

Chanel Le Vernis in #687 Phenix is £18 and I purchased mine from Debenhams.

The Body Shop - Colour Crush Nail Colour Swatches - Lights

I'm sorry I'm super late today, I confused myself with what day it is!

Today I'm really excited to share some swatches of four of the new Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colours! My brother bought me seven shades for my birthday :) and I've decided to split them into two posts of light and dark colours.

He bought me two sets of three colours, and another separate shade because it was a bargain, so he tells me!!


The three colours in the set are L-R Mint Cream, Hemp Over Heels, Peach Babe.

All swatches are two coats of colour with top coat.

First up is Mint Cream, and this one exactly what is says! I would day that this polish is more on the blue side than green, as the name would suggest - 




Next, Hemp Over Heels. This colour is a grassy green creme and makes me think of nature and the fair trade ethos of The Body Shop - 




Third up is Peach Babe. A creamy peach colour, this polish is my favourite of the bunch - 




Finally is the separate shade, Rosy Cheeks, a pretty pink creme - 




All the polishes have a nice formula, thought not always completely opaque. The finish is high gloss as the website claims, as well as being 100% Vegan :)

The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colours are £5.00 each for 6.8ml, available at Thebodyshop.co.uk.

I hope you're all having an amazing week so far!

OPI - Nordic Mini Collection

I love when a brand like OPI brings out these mini sets to compliment their collections. 

For Autumn / Winter '14, OPI brought out this beautiful collection inspired by "the great northern lights of Finland, deep blue Fjords of Norway and colourful houses of Copenhagen".

I won't ramble on because I have loads of pics to share!




OPI Nordic Mini Collection from L-R ; My Dogsled is a Hybrid, Do You Have This Colour in Stock Holm?, My Voice is a Little Norse and How Great is Your Dane?.

I have layered My Voice is a Little Norse over every colour, just to see how it goes with each shade from the set :)

Al swatches are two coats of colour with top coat.

First up is My Dogsled is a Hybrid, a sea green creme - 





Next is Do You Have This Colour in Stock Holm? A violet creme - 





Third is My Voice is a Little Norse, a prismatic silver glitter - 






And finally, How Great is Your Dane? 





All the polishes in this set are great quality, as usual with OPI.

The Nodic Mini Set is £14.50, however I paid £10.15 which is the current price at Beautybay.com :)

I hope you're all having and awesome weekend!
