L'Oreal Top Coat Confetti Gradient!

Hey everyone!

So it's 25 days until Christmas, who's excited? I know I am! Which also means there will be some Christmas nail art soon!

Today I have a very simple glitter gradient look. I have wanted this type of polish for so long it's not even funny and I finally got it!

I used Rimmel STRONGER base coat, Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, and L'Oreal Color Riche Nail Top Coat Confetti.



Also the other day I made one of my own nail polishes! I was so proud of myself! I might post it in a couple of days that's if you guys want to see?!

E.L.F Make Up Brush Review!

Hey guys so I have something different for you today! 

Instead of nails I have an E.L.F. Make Up Brush Review! Now when I say I'm completely new to the 'make up world' I mean it, I'm 18 years old and the only make up I have depended on was my trusty concealer, eyeliner and mascara! But since starting this blog with Rosie I have started to get into make up more and more, constantly watching youtube tutorials and I now own two lipsticks (which I might do a review on soon depends how this one goes) and 5 make up brushes! I will hopefully soon be able to go shopping and get some more make up and might even do a haul!

The brushes I bought I would say would be the 'beginners brushes' so if you're starting out like me I would definitely recommend these 5!

Outfit Of The Night!

Hello everyone! So I went out for dinner with my family last week and so I thought I would show you what I wore! I will list where everything is from and with links as well and how much everything was. P.S I look so tall in the photograph but I'm actually only 5'5.. P.P.S sorry for shitty quality of the photograph, the mother took it ;)



What I'm wearing:
  • Gold Studded Leather Jacket: Primark £25 
  • Silvery Chiffon Dip Hem Blouse: New Look £8
  • Shiny Wet Look Leggings: Boohoo £9.99
  • Wood Platform Black Lace up Heels: Brought from Preloved, originally from Truffle Shoes £12.99
If you're wondering about my hair, I just straightened it, nothing too fancy. My make-up was like one of my previous make-up tutorials which you can view here.



I hope you enjoyed this, please follow us on twitter, instagram, tumblr and bloglovin'

Striping Nail Art!

Hey everyone!

So it's been an extremely busy week, but I just about managed to get my nails done before I went out for a meal for my nan's birthday!

I did some striping nail art that took me absolutely forever to do! 

I used Rimmel STRONGER base coat, Barry M Gelly Prickly Pear, Barry M Gelly Plum, Rimmel Superwear Topcoat and striping tape!


I didn't get the chance to clean up around the edges which is really bad I know but I was literally running around the house trying to get ready on time! 

This originally wasn't going to be a review, but I strongly advise if your doing nail art designs to NOT get the Rimmel Superwear Topcoat, I was looking forward to using this, but as you can see it didn't really work out that well, it smudged all the colouring, it shrunk the polish, and took forever to dry! I hate having to say mean things :(

What's your cheapest favorite top coat? Write a comment down below or tell us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Bloglovin' and Tumblr!

Drugstore Haul!

Hey everyone, so here is a haul for you of all the products that I have bought over the past few months. I hope you enjoy it! NOTE: Some of these products I got on a deal so that is why there are two. But some products I did get on a deal I have only included once in the photograph, don't know why...I should have done everything really...ah well.

Products bought: 
  • Lypsyl lip balm 
  • Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara 
  • Simple Face Wipes 
  • Simple Hydrating Moisturiser 
  • Simple Pore Minimiser 
  • Simple Action Spot Zapper 
  • Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation 
  • VO5 High Volume Hairspray 
  • Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush





Most of these products were bought in Superdrug, however while shopping around I found the occasional product for so much cheaper so I had to pick it up! 

I have already started using all of these products, so here are some reviews on what I think of them so far. 

Lypsyl lip balm: My lips are so chapped this time of year, this works very well but after I put it on my lips the taste is not so good and I would rather have something that tasted better like Strawberry or something. So I do recommend it but the taste really gets in your mouth,eww. 

Simple Pore Minimising Gel: I previously used a toner which I thought would tone my pores as my pores are so awful! :( But I decided to try this gel out instead and it really feels like it's working into my skin, I lather loads of it on and it barely goes down inside the bottle! So i'm glad I got a deal on this and picked up two! 

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush: I use Batiste quite a lot on my hair, I previously used the original version of Batiste which was great, but because I was running out I thought I would try a new one with a different smell. I bought this one and I can say it works but smells really weird and it isn't so nice...I still use it on my hair because it does the trick but I would recommend going for another smell. 


I hope you enjoyed this haul and would like to see more! I have a few ideas for the next coming weeks so stayed tuned, it includes my Fashion Winter Essentials and an OOTN (Outfit Of The Night).

Fireworks Nails!

Hey everyone!

So it's bonfire night soon, which means fireworks or massive bonfire's! This is actually one of my favourite holidays of the year! 

For this I used Miss Sporty Black, Barry M White, Miss Sporty Metal Fusion Aurora Borealis, Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, Barry M Gelly Plum, Barry M Spring Green, Nails Inc Atomic, Nails Inc OMP!, Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours Yellow, Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch, Tesco All About Nails Poppy Red and a small brush.





Step by Step;
1. Apply your base coat and two thin layers of black.
2. Although you can't see it in the photo I used the grunge effect that Chalkboard Nails (check it out here) has done with the Miss Sporty Metal Fusion polish.
3. With the small brush apply some white nail polish and paint onto your nails in small strokes to get the firework effect.
4. Apply your coloured nail polish to the ends and the top of each flick of the firework
5. With the Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch polish spread around the fireworks to make it seem like the stars.
6. Apply your top coat and show them off!

I am aware i'm not the best at explaining things so I apologise! If you try out our designs or would like to see something on here or even want to chat to us then please do! You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Bloglovin' and Tumblr!

Question...Who are your favourite nail bloggers?

Bronzy Brown Make-up TUTORIAL

Hey everyone, I haven't done a make-up tutorial in what feels like forever! So definitely comment or tag rrbeautyxo on twitter, instagram, tumblr to give me some ideas of what you would like to see! Ok, so on with the tutorial...


List of products I used: 
Face: Simple Pore Minimiser, Simple Moisturiser, Simple Spot Zapper, Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation (natural), Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder.
Eyes: Unbranded Eyeshadow Palette, Colour Unlimited Eyeshadow Palette with a set of three colours, Bronze, Gold and Purple (sorry it doesn't have a specific name), Rimmel London Kohl Eyeliner, Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara. 



Step 1: First apply a goldy, bronze eyeshadow all over your lid.
Step 2: Use a blending brush, blend a dark brown eyeshadow into your crease.
Step 3: Line your top lash line with black eyeliner, dragging it out to where you finished your eyeshadow to create a flick.
Step 4: Apply as many coats as you want of your chosen mascara. (Before this step I did curl my lashes)
Step 5: I have also dragged some brown eyeshadow underneath my bottom lash line instead of using an eyeliner. And again applied mascara to my bottom lashes.


Ok so I did want to show you guys what the finished look, looked like with my eye open so here it is! I hope you like it because I kinda winged this tutorial, I had nothing set out and I didn't look at a make-up look and copy from it, I just kinda went with my own thing. 





I hope you like this look, please follow us on tumblr, twitter, instagram and bloglovin' we would really appreciate it! Thank you!
