Nailed it!

I’ve nailed it with my top five nail polishes for spring, for both fingers and toes!

Brucci-and-Dior-Gel-CoatFor nail hardener and top coat I’ve been using with 100% thanks to Jessica who introduced me to both these nail products. Brucci nail hardener is what I have on, in the photo with my hand, along with the Dior gel coat on top which is just as shiny as shellac nail polish is. Tip is to apply just one coat of Dior the day I use a polish, and apply another coat a few days later for added shine. It stays on incredible well without chipping, almost like a shellac but can be removed easily with nail polish remover.

How often do you wear nail polish?

Disclosure: YSL Rose Scabiosa, Dior Bloom & Dior Bouquet were supplied to me by the PR companies. The rest of the polishes were either bought or gifted to me.

YSL Spring Look

YSL lip products are pretty magical in their own little way. YSL Rouge Volupte 31 32I think they’re my favourite brand to wear, as they are identical to butter when you swatch them on the back of your hand. So smooth. The signature champagne-like fragrance is incredible and the packaging is even better. YSL Spring 2014As I said over the weekend, YSL and Dior are the epitome of make-up to me — in my books. They simply know what they’re doing when it comes to make-up.

I realize that my reviews for both spring collections went up later than I’d usually like to have them given the fact they are both Limited Edition. I assure you that won’t happen in the future since I do not plan to move to another country again, any time soon. ;)

Yves Saint Laurent Flower Crush Palette openSo with that said, I have used the eye-shadow palette and lipstick from the YSL Spring Collection and put together another easy to wear look.

YSL-Spring-2014I mainly like to stick with ‘easy-to-wear’ make-up for my signature look, as quite honestly I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing with make-up.

YSL-Flower-CrushAlways trial and error, but I have fun playing around with it and seeing what I can come up with. If all else fails, I watch YouTube videos on make-up tips.YSL-Jealous-Coral

YSL-Spring-Lip-ColoursThe two colours I received from the Spring Collection is Jealous Coral (left) and Fuchsia Storm (right). They are light, creamy and smooth — and best of all it’s not drying on my lips. I’m a lip-licker and I cannot stand when products dry them out.

YSL-Spring-Collection-2014If you’re one who likes wearing a bit of colour on the lips, these are a must try! Alfie is not used to seeing me so dressed up.

Can’t forget the nail polishes! A fun way to add some colour and statement.
