If Barry M & Revlon got it on....

So if the above blog post title did truly happen I think it would be sweet harmony.  If you're wondering what I'm mumbling about it's this . . .

(L-R) Revlon: Facets of Fuchsia and Barry M: Vivid Purple 161

I know these polishes have been out and about for ages now but this the first time I have paired them together.  I'd bought them on separate occasions but the thought of them together had never crossed my mind.  Until now.

Dark natural lighting

I think the Vivid Purple is quite a good base for the Revlon.  You could also apply to a black base if you wanted.  The Facets of Fuchsia does look good alone, but it needs to be built up with a few layers to look good.  That is why I used a purple base colour to cheat and create the look faster.

I really like this look and I lovely glittery nails, it's oh so girly.  The only annoyance is the fact you need a chisel and hammer to remove the glitter once you want to remove the polish.  Why are glitter polishes so difficult to remove?!

Whats your favourite glitter polish??

Leighton Denny ~ Plush Pink

So as promised . . . a nice swatch of the free Leighton Denny polish you'll receive with the July copy of Harpers Bazaar.  The polish is called Plush Pink and I think it is the perfect bright fuchsia pink.  I have actually wanted a pink like this one for a while, but hadn't seen one that wowed me.  I am glad I spotted this on the shelves. 

If there is one thing that is so hot about this polish is the coverage.  You could easily get away with one coat, it is seriously that good.  In the picture I have two coats to achieve an even finish.   It is so glossy it almost looks like it has a top coat on already.

My only other experience with  Leighton Denny polishes is one I received in a Glossy Box.  I really like that polish (called Baby Doll) and that one lasts without chipping for approximately a week.  

Leighton Denny polishes retail for £11.00 and can be purchased online here.  Harpers Bazaar retails for £4.20, big difference in price.  From my experiences of Leighton Denny polishes so far, they are all positive.  And I'm intrigued to try more from the brand.


Have you tried any Leighton Denny polishes?  Do you have any shades you recommend?

Harpers Bazaar and Leighton Denny

It's been a while since I have written a worthy magazine deal post but this was something I couldn't ignore.  I have popped my cherry with this purchase as I have never ever bought Harpers Bazaar magazine before.  It's not a magazine that generally appeals to me.  I think £4.20 for a magazine is quite jaw dropping..

Howeever it became very appealing indeed when I saw a gorgeous Leighton Denny polish glued to the front cover of their July issue!!!

Gracing the front cover is Florence Welch . . . stunning!

With this summery hot pink staring at me and it being the only copy left on the shelf, I knew it had to be mine! Moooohahaha! Evil laugh!

There are usually three colour to choose from, I didn't get a choice but I would of picked this colour anyways.  The other two shades are a taupey grey-beige and a hot coral.  Not too bad getting a Leighton Denny for £4.20 I might say :-D

I will have swatches to follow this evening as I'm sneaking this post in at work.  Cannot be painting my nails at my desk now can we . . . hehe.
