I've been wanting to attempt ombré or gradient nails since seeing the purple version on a few blogs a fair while ago, however I never seemed to have quite enough colours for it to work properly. When my sister came home with the Rimmel pale blue this idea immediately shot to mind! I've worn the plain colours all week + I must say, I love it! Last night I added a bit of sparkle just in time for the weekend. The OPI Save Me works perfectly as the holographic blue strips seem to emphasise the the blue nails. I'm looking forward to trying this in pink + purple tones. This style is perfect for statement nails that are so simple + don't require a steady hand, new favourite last minute night out manicure!

Look Beauty Loud Lips in Baby Doll

Whilst shopping in Cardiff the other weekend I had a little make up splurge in Superdrug + this Look Beauty lipstick was one of the things I picked up. I know there's a lot of Look Beauty reviews going around after the event but this was bought out of my own pennies(: I was looking for a pink to wear out with the girls that night + picked up this shade. The Ashley Isham print packaging caught my eye which I thought was very ~pretty~! I didn't like the lipstick packaging itself at first, I thought it was too chunky + cumbersome but I it is growing on me. I do like the magnetic closure but am slightly afraid that it will detach + I'll have a handbag covered in baby pink sludge (no accidents as of yet, touch wood!)!

The lipstick itself, I have no complaints; it's moisturising, easily buildable + the perfect baby pink! My new favourite lipstick that I've worn nearly every day + which you can kind of see in this post and probably many more to come! Would definitely recommend + think it's worth the £7 price tag! Gonna try to get my hands on another shade the next time I go to Cardiff shopping! Which is your favourite colour from the collection?
