MUA Quake Nail Polish

If you saw my Haul post last week you'll see I brought MUA Quake nail polish. I may bit a late to jump on the crackle polish band wagon, but I wanted to try it for myself and see what it was all about. I purchased this from Superdrug and was retailed at £2.99.

This was the effect I got with the MUA crackle and I was very pleased with the results. And this was only from one coat. It lasted a while too and I defiantly recommend it.

W7 Nail Polish (20 Barbie Pink) - £2.50 Peacocks

MUA Nail Quake (Black) - £2.99 Superdrug

And here's another look I got using a different base coat. This is with two coats...

Colour Trend Color Me Pretty Nail Enamel (Minimalist Peach) - £2.00 Avon

MUA Nail Quake (Black) - £2.99 Superdrug

Any of you tried the MUA Nail Quake? Or have a favourite crackle nail polish?

Avon Haul

Hi guys, hope everyone is well. Sorry again for taking ages to post, I've nearly finished college for the year will start again in September for my final year. Can't believe I've been there 3 years already! Once I finish I will hopefully blog more frequently. Thanks to my followers for sticking around at the early stage and hello to my new followers and thank you for reading and joining my blog.
I recently ordered a few products from Avon. I haven't brought from Avon in a few years as there was nobody near me who did it, or that I knew of. I've always been a fan of Avon as my Mum was a representative for years while I was growing up. I was very excited when we received an Avon book last month and my order finally came during the week. I do realise you can purchase from Avon via internet but I love flicking through the catalogue and especially the scented pages! I didn't order a lot last month but when my order came there was a new book and this time I might have ordered a bit too much.
So these are the products I brought last month...

Glimmersticks Liqui-Glide Eye Liner

I ordered this eyeliner in bronze and when I applied it, it came out as a brown colour. Not nearly as bronze as it looked in the book. Although this, I really really like the colour of it! It suits my skin tone perfectly, is not as dramatic as a black eyeliner and is great for everyday use. It's very easy to apply too, it is very similar to a liquid eyeliner, hence the name, but still has a creaminess to it. Its long lasting and doesn't smudge. When I ordered this, it was on offer at £3 but in the new book its back to £6. On the website though it says its still on offer for £3, not sure how long the offer is going to last for but if anyone is interested, I'd order it quick. More info here.
