Gem and Jo's Polish Picks

Jo's Pick:

So this week I've strayed (but not too far) away from the blue nail polishes, and chose to try out Wet n Wild's Megalast Salon Nail Color, in the shade On a Trip. This is a beautiful cream purple colour. 

This polish has a great shine, even without a top coat (as seen above) and  it isn't streaky at all. I found that three coats were needed for a fully opaque look, however I was really please with the finished result!.

This nail polish is super inexpensive too and I purchase mine for only €2.99!!

If you are living in Ireland the only place that you can find Wet n Wild cosmetics at the moment is in Dunnes Stores around the country (that's where I bought mine), however if you are living in the states, you can pretty much find this in most drugstores.  

Find it here

Gem's Pick

While Jo has steered away from the blues today, I have cannot say the same. I'm using Rimmel London's I Love Long Lasting in the colour Azure (198). Its a gorgeous bright, iridescent blue with just a hint of shimmer, and who doesn't love a bit of shimmer! This particular shade has been discontinued but I was lucky enough to pick it up while it was still in stores and there are a ton of new colours to choose from!

                                             

The colour is really fresh on Irish skin tones and is perfect for summer! Plus application of this polish is a breeze, it is a treat to apply, only two coats are needed for that opaque look we all want!

                                          

This nail varnish is available in most drugstores and Boots stores across Ireland for only €4.55, which is a great price for such a good product!
If you're lucky enough to live in the UK, Boots are doing Buy 1 get the 2nd half price, take a look here.
Irish viewers can purchase the varnish from Boots.ie Here
For everyone else, you can see the product Here

                                            

Thanks for reading and we hope you like our picks for today! If you have a favourite varnish or one you would like us to try, let us know in the comments below!
Until Next Time!

Gem and Jo's Polish Picks.

So we painted our nails again (after the lake water during our camping trip took all the polish off!) and we decided to show you guys what we're wearing. Take a look:

Jo's Pick:

Jo has been loving blue nail polish this summer, and decided to paint her nails with Rimmel London's Salon Pro nail colour with LYCRA, in the shade Nymph. This nail polish is part of the Kate Moss collection and is available in 40 different shades.


                                     

 This nail polish has a great shine, (even without a top coat) with a salon gel finish and the teal colour really pops on the nails. The product itself is super easy to apply and isn't streaky at all. Two coats is all you need for an opaque look, however if you have longer nails that grow past the finger, a third coat may be needed. The formula dries super quick and doesn't chip easily.

This product can be found at most drugstores for around £4.50 or €6.50. Jo purchased her's from boots for €6.49. Check it out here. Buy it here. 

Gem's Pick

                                         

So Gem used Esteé Lauder's Pure Color nail lacquer in Le Smoking (B13). It's a deep red in the bottle, however the first coat on your nails does look kinda fuschia-ish. 

The polish itself is an absolute treat to apply! It's really smooth and silky and doesn't streak, however it does stain the sides of your fingers a little if you apply it in a big mess like Gemma does. Hence the reason her nails look awful in these pictures. Oops. 

This polish is often given in the sets that Esteé Lauder give away with certain purchases and there are a ton of different shades! Gem is trying to collect them all! It can also be bought by itself either in stores or online! 

Take a look Here. 

Gem's ring seen in this picture is from Pandora and can be purchased Here for €49.00 and there is a whole range of matching products available. 

Thanks for reading! Until Next Time!
