MUA U R FAB

Now I know it was nearly over a year ago since MUA released their LoveHearts collection, but recently I've been falling in love with nail vanish all over again and realised I forgot to show swatches of a few of the colours I picked up. You can read the original post here.

Now I'm no longer working at my old job it means I can wear nail varnish again and over the past few weeks I've been painting my nails with MUA's U R FAB, and have been receiving some lovely compliments about it. So I thought I'd share it with you.

 Firstly, I love the packaging. It has LoveHearts original logo, and is incredibly cute and girly. The nail varnishes for this collection come in 6 colours, all which are pastel colours and are great for spring and summer. U R FAB is the only colour which I think you can get away with wearing in the winter and Autumn too.

The only down fall to this product which wasn't too much of an issue was that my brush seemed to have not been made well and had almost like another head which luckily I was able to cut off, otherwise it made painting your nails very tricky, I think this must have been a manufacture problem and I hope that it was only with this bottle of nail varnish. The other colour which I brought was perfectly fine.

I really have fallen in love with this colour. It's a cross between a red and a dark pink. Depending on what light you're in, it will show different tones. One which seems like a very dark colour and the other a very light colour. Both which are lovely. I didn't put a topcoat on my nails once I had finished them as I was too impatient to wait any longer and had things to get on with. I now regret not putting one on as after 4 days they have begun to chip quite a bit. But when I do put a topcoat on they last much longer and better.

For £2 these nail varnishes are brilliant for anyone on a budget, and I can't wait to buy the other colours next time I go shopping.

 

Have you tried any of the MUA LoveHearts collection? What do you think?

 

#88 NOTD

Just a quick Nail of The Day post today, as recently I have really gotten back into the routine for making sure I give myself a good manicure at least once a week, and it's working! My nails are growing faster than ever and are in such good condition!

If you read my recent posts you'll know that I was given the Ted Baker From Ted To Toe Nail Beauty set for Christmas and used it for the first time ever, and I have to admit I was really impressed at the quality of the Nail Varnish as I'm always a bit wary when ever I get given products in sets like that.

The first colour which I tried out of the set was this dark brown. I always used to love my dark colours and that's all I would wear but recently I've been getting into pastels and more bright colours so when I wore this colour I remembered why I loved my dark colour and fell in love all over again!

The polishes come up very glossy which I love. It also has a sight red tinge to it when in very bright natural light and then the other times it's a really dark brown. Like most polishes it also needs at least 2 coats and a top coat to give it that perfect finish. I haven't yet tried the other 3 polishes so there are some more NOTD posts to come!

#40 Birthday Eve Post.

Evening bloggers!
I hope you all had fantastic weekend. Mine was fantastic, I kickstarted the year with my 18th Birthday party, and words cannot describe how amazing it was! Pictures will make their way on to my blog but I'm still piecing them together to jog my memory abit, as I seemed to have one too many Vodka and Orange Juices (and they were pint sized!)
I always love to do NOTD's and do a little life update, so I will carry on my ramble and cut to the chase in a second!
Tonight is my birthday eve and tomorrow I turn the big 18! I am so excited for what the future and this year brings me. My 18th has also been full of surprises! My party was a joint effort on my Uncle and Mums behalf, plus all the other family members who donated their time and money to help make it super special. I also cheekily opened all my presents which everyone gave me at the party, so will take a few snaps like I did with my Christmas presents, if you all want to see? I also came home from college today to find out another birthday present surprise from my Mum. She has brought my a Nivarna Spa membership! For those of you who are not from Berkshire you won't know what I'm talking about as the Nivarna Spa is a one off! But it is the most amazing place I have ever been too and I have come home feeling totally relaxed. I can't believe I was brought a membership! There will be a post on my experience there plus a some reviews on a few of their products which I brought. If any of you want to check it out and see what they offer have a look on their website http://www.nirvanaspa.co.uk/ 
Tomorrow I'm going to go shopping with my mum and hopefully will come  back the proud owner of a new iPhone4 with the money I have saved, and also a few makeup and clothing treats ;) I hope you all had a great weekend and sorry for the long ramble. The next part of the post, is also slightly picture heavy!

In my stocking this year, I was lucky enough to find this! I am made on Nail Varnish and have tonnes of it, so it was to my Mum's horror when she discovered that my Dad and StepMum had brought me this! But I can't help but love it!

The categories and colours are all named after the dances which take place on Strictly Come Dancing and dance related things. I am very much into all my dark coloured Nail Varnishes so the Latin section has my name written all over it. However, I've always said that I need to break out of my comfort zone and try other colours!

The Salsa colours seem very bright and daring so I think I'm going to have to try these out, so expect to see lots of NOTD's and also a review on the Strictly products!
