Nails Inc. Ice Cream and Sprinkle Collection Part 1 || Manicure Weekend

I'm back! Sorry for not posting a manicure last weekend. I had my nails painted and was all ready to go and then I forgot to take photos. But not to worry; I come with something super exciting -- a three part series on Nails Inc. Ice Cream and Sprinkle Collection!

I was looking through my weekly Sephora Insiders email a couple weeks ago and they were introducing some new nail sets. I saw this set and knew I had to get it. The colours just screamed spring and summer! The set includes 3 colours (2 high gloss finishes and 1 special edition effects finish) in 4ml (0.13 fl oz) containers. I thought these would be a perfect size for those who are thinking about going on vacation/holiday this summer. 

For the next three weeks I will post my thoughts on these three colours. The first one I'll start with is Upper Regent Street. 

Upper Regent Street, in the bottle, looks like a really rich creamy chocolate brown. I've never tried browns on my nails before so I was very excited. But once I applied it on my nails the colour was not the same. I can't say I'm disappointed; the colour is still very creamy but just a tad bit darker. The formula was very smooth and I just needed two thin coats. The one thing I would do next time is add an accent nail.

Stay tuned for next week's colour!

Butter London Molly-Coddled || Manicure Weekend

Hello Everyone!

Like I said in my last post, I'll be reviewing polishes!! So for all you nail polish crazies -- this post is for you!

This is my first Butter London product and I AM IN LOVE! What I'm wearing right now is part of their new Spring line of colours! I've been following Ingrid from missglamorazzi and she had this colour on and, immediately, I wanted it! The colour is called Molly-Coddled and it's a perfect spring summer transition colour. I am a sucker when it comes down to purple - lilacs, lavenders, plums - you name it, I probably have it. Now my lighter purples all have a blueish hue to it. Molly-Coddle, on the other hand, is more of a pinky pastel purple; this is the reason why I bought it.

My first impression of Butter London was "Dang, it's expensive". But for the size and the quality, I would definitely  say it was worth every penny! It's super creamy but not too thick. The brush fans out nicely and gives the nail a really good coat. Drying time is pretty fast and, with a top coat, doesn't chip as easily.

Go check out the rest of their Spring 2013 Collection. If I were to pick another colour, I would have to pick the colour "Kerfuffle"; really nice soft coral :)

All right, that's a wrap! I will talk to you all soon!
