Sephora "air" polish

I have a long weekend off work yey so as it's my moms birthday, I decided to paint my nails! 

Here I am wearing Sephora's Universe collection in "air" which is a clear polish with spectacles of aluminium-like peices. It's so simple but sparkly! Love it! 


Would work with a colour underneath for a sparkle of colour! 

Pro's:

• fast drying, approximately 90 seconds per layer
• soft thick brush so you don't need to do too many strokes especially if you have wide nails like me
• very sparkly with infusions of aluminum-like spectrums
• has not chipped yet! 
• love the bottle with the white squared lid and cardboard box
• affordable price of about $12US which is about £1 UK 
• thin texture
• consistency can be kept mixed with the use of 2 metal balls in the bottle for shaking 


Con's:

• limited edition
• 4 choices in this collections
• available from USA only



Have you ever tried this or any polishes from this collection?

Sephora + Pantone Universe Nail

Fire
Sephora + Pantone Universe invoke the primal wonders of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to forecast a season of elemental thrall. Introducing a spectrum of rare umbers, ethereal lilacs, rapturous vermillions, and deep sea ceruleans—all harmonized to create the perfect storm of supernatural beauty. (from Sephora website )

In October I was over in the States, Utah, Salt Lake City. I went into Sephora and managed to pick up some of their latest collection of nail polishes, including Air, Earth & Fire. These are limited edition and retails at just $10 per bottle. 

Due to the nature of my job, I don't often paint my nails but when I do, I love making sure they stand out. I always paint my toe nails all year round, but they are mainly covered up. 

In this collection, it is designed to:

Unleash the force of the four elements and adorn your nails with these high-impact lacquers in four dimensional effects: earthly chrome, watery shimmer, airy sparkle, and fiery glitter. These unique colors and finishes can be combined to create unique nail designs. ( Sephora )


Pro's:

  • gives a metallic pink finish, very unique and shiny
  • fast drying
  • applying 1-2 coats is enough
  • thick soft brush, perfect to brush onto wide nails like mine
  • lovely presentation bottle and box
  • cheap for money
Con's:

  • peels off the following day
  • can chip off easily even with 2 layers therefore I would recommend a clear top coat
  • limited edition


If you're a nail fanatic and love strange patterns/colours then try this!

Have fun!

My first Sephora haul

I have never ever been to a Sephora store before in my whole life! But seeing that I am in Utah right now, it was a must that I needed to go purchase a few essentials.

Sephora is one of America's beauty drug store, equipped from every beauty item from top brands to their own collections.
I have hear and seen many reviews on Sephora make up brushes, very popular in the U.S. with good results so I just had to get a few!


I love having a collection of bright coloured nail polishes! Even though I don't often paint my nails, I always paint my toe nails though. 
I managed to get hold of a Marc Jacobs nail polish which I instantly fell in love with the colour which is an orange! I also managed I get hold of Sephora's own collection of polishes in a pinky marble colour with 2 glitter specs.

Super excited to use my brushes as my old ones are literally falling apart! The brushes are soft and look very professional, not so sure how they will be when I start using them though! 

If anyone has any reviews on the brushes, feel free to leave it under my post so I can have a read!
