Cloud.




Part of Revlon's Top Speed range, Cloud is a very pale, pastelle purple/grey. It's a tad more purple than what you see in the pictures above. I tried my best to capture the true colour but this was the best I could do! Needless to say, I think it's gorgeous. Also, it doesn't disappoint as a 'top speed' polish. It dries faster than most other polishes. Application was smooth, streak-free and opaque in two coats.

Have you tried any of Revlon's Top Speed nail polishes? Any recommendations? xxx

GOSH Frou-Frou





I picked this nail polish up after seeing how gorgeous it was on Fee's nails (www.makeupsavvy.co.uk). It's a very metallic and glittery silver-rose colour and looks much more stunning in real life. Imagine a pinker, more metallic version of what you see in these photos and you've got it. Or think of Orly's Rage or MAC's Soiree (both rose gold nail polishes), add a heavier pink tone to it and that's GOSH Frou-Frou!

Ideally I would have a rose gold nail polish as well, but this one will have to do. It's terribly difficult to find Orly nail polishes in Hong Kong.

Are You a Fan?

A few days ago I picked up my first real pink nail polish. I'd always avoided pink on my nails because I find that it tends to look: a) tacky, b) bimbo-like or c) too barbie-like. But for some reason I'm suddenly going through a pink phase where I want to buy anything and everything pink! I also had an image in my mind of the type of pink nail polish shade I wanted... fuschia-toned with a cream finish (no shimmer). So off I went to SaSa, and this is what I ended up with!



It's actually a bit darker and much more neon in person! The sunlight is washing it out a bit. This nail polish is by the brand Color Combos (which I'd never heard of before) and was opaque in one coat, but I went with two just to be safe. It costed $15HKD.

Two-Toned Nails

Today I bought 6 new nail polishes. My nails were already painted in the shimmery chocolate colour, but I wanted to test a couple of my new polishes out, so I used one to paint the tips of my nails, and added a blue glitter heart onto my ring fingernail. Please excuse the smushed polish on the ring finger!


I LOVE how it turned out! What do you think? xxx
