Neon Acid Wash Nails

Recently on a few beauty blogs I've seen acid wash nails and decided to give it a go! I've gave it my own little spin by using a neon which is a must have at the moment.

What You Need:

  • 2 nail polishes the same colour, but different shades
  • Cotton wool
  • Nail polish remover
  • Clear top coat





The two polishes I used were Nina Ultra Pro in 'Fuschia Rage and Nicki Minaj for O.P.I in 'Pink Friday'.
I created the look firstly by painting my nails with Fuschia Rage and leaving them to dry then putting on a coat of Pink Friday. Once my nails were fully dry, I soaked the cotton wool in nail polish remover and dabbed it on my nails to create the acid wash effect. I then finished off with a clear top coat. I found this really quick and easy to do and I really like the effect it's given. So if you want to try something different on your nails and don't have much spare time, I definitely recommend you have a go!
Have you tried acid wash nails?

Revlon Lip Butter: Lollipop





I thought I'd do a little post on my favourite lipstick at the moment. I had been wanting to try the Revlon Lip Butters for a while so I was so grateful when then the lovely Daniella kindly send me one after winning the full range in a Twitter competition. The one Daniella sent me is called Lollipop, which is a lovely dark pink. I didn't have a lipstick this colour so was very happy when I saw how gorgeous the shade was. I usually find lipsticks quite drying on my lips but the lip butters have a creamy formula so are very moisturising, just like a lip balm. I' am finding myself  using this more than any of my other lipsticks at the moment. I wear it all day at work and only have to top it up a couple of times a day. It's also a great shade for night time! The only downside is that you don't get much in it and it will probably run out quite quickly. However, I will be purchasing this product again and trying some of the other shades. They cost £7.99 and can be purchased here.
What's your opinion on the hyped-up Revlon Lip Butters?
