Avon Nailwear Pro+ and Nail Gems Review!

So cause my Nan is so nice she decided to get me a little gift. She knows that I like to try new products, especially nail polish, so she got me some products from Avon. I already have some of their nail polishes and love them so I know that these should be just as good!

So the nail polishes are the Nailwear Pro+, these are there selection of polishes that have acrylic gel in them for strength and Dura-Plus Complex. They are meant to have 12 days of lasting colour, and also they have a shine and nick-resistant finish. So far I can say that the strength part has worked really well as my nails are so strong, so if you have weak nails this would be a great nail polish for you. The lasting power of the polish is fab it lasts at least 4 to 5 days without chipping so it could easily do a week. However I'm not sure if it dose last 12 days as I haven't had it on that long, but the reviews on their site shows that it can stretch that far! Then lastly for the shine, its not super shiny but just enough to make your nails look polished, and the nick-resistant so far has been amazing! This is a huge plus for me as some how I always chip my nail polish so fast, so to not have to re-paint my nails is such a time saver!

The colours I got are Sea Breeze and Viva Pink, and I absolutely love these colours and they are perfect for spring and summer! Avon have a wide selection of colours for this type of polish, they have 20 more excluding the ones I have!

So this next product is their Nail Gems, they are very brightly coloured gems which helps to create a professional looking nail art. I've never tried nail gems before because I really don't have the patience to sit and try and pick up small gems and faff around trying to get them on. So really I was thinking putting them on would be a mare, but hold up... It was so easy! Avon has easily separated out the gems in this cool little container which you can turn the top to get the gems out that you want so they do not go everywhere. Also if you by the nail gems you get a applicator half price. Which I would defiantly recommend getting as it helps a lot!

It was so much easier to pick them up and place on my nails! Its brilliant for any nail art and great for precision, its made from stainless steel and is about 9cm in length.

So this is how my nails came out, now I'm not a professional or good at nail art so don't judge ;) But for my first attempt I think I did pretty well! You can see that the gems are very small which in some cases can be good if you want to add load but at times can me a but fiddly. When my Nan gave me these it didn't come with instructions which kinda sucks, but I look on their website and they said that when your nail polish is drying add the gems then once dry add a top coat. This did work however I felt they didn't stay on for too long and if one falls off then your left with a hole in your nail polish. So what I did was used eyelash glue to stick them down which worked so well and they have lasted longer than I expected!

The price of everything is very reasonable, the nail polish being £6 each and at they are half price on their website! The gems being £3 and now are £2.50 and the applicator being £3 on its own but brought with the gems £1.50. I think that Avon nail polishes are defiantly one of my top favourite brands, and I can't wait to try more products by them! Overall I would recommend this product to anyone, epically for the gems it can be great way to create amazing nail are for pros, or beginners to nail art like me. 

I hoped you liked this review, leave comments below on what your thoughts are on these products and what you think about avon ^_^ until next time have an awesome, amazing day...

Barry M Limited Addition Nail Polish - Review

The other day I went out out on a trek to find a bright yellow nail polish for summer, purely because I've never tried a yellow nail polish before :D So I dragged Sam with me to searched high and low in Superdrug and Boots, before I came to the Barry M section in boots. Now I have never brought a product by Barry M before so I was a bit wary about buying something from them. But I thought, you know what live life on the edge for once, yeah ;) 

I brought one of there new limited addition nail polishes, but I can't tell you what colour it is because i don't know. This may be because there is no name for the colour or i just cant find it :P but if it is on the bottle then i should assume that the colour is either NPLEB13B or vernis à ongles???? I have no idea ahahah But the better thing is that they are only £3.99 each which is AMAZZZINGGG! :DDD

Application –

The application is really good and easy to do. The brush is quite large so you can apply the nail polish in a few strokes :) The colour is rather sheer and needs a few coats to get a good opaque colour. The bottle recommends that you put a base coat underneath before you apply the nail polish. I tried the nail polish with no base coat underneath and it lasted a pretty long time, which was to my surprise :333     

Colour - 

The colour yellow is perfect for the summer time, and we should all own a nail polish in this colour! :D it especially looks good against tanned skin. Or if your like me and lily white, the colour makes you skin look more tanned then you already are :DD like I mentioned before, the colour with one coat is rather sheer. It needs at least two coats, but that isn't much of a problem. I found that the nail polish dried within a minute or so, therefore as soon as you have done your hand you can go back and start again with the next coat :3 this is not the only colour in there collection, there are three more. However, only two are sold in Boots and the other two are sold in Superdrugs. There is a light baby pink, a green and a hot pink for sale. The hot pink and yellow are sold in Boots and the green and baby pink are sold in Superdrugs. :333 

How Long It Lasts - 
Firstly, I tried it with no base or top coat, I found that the nail polish started to chip within a few days. But that may be because I am a very hands on person, so my nail polish does chip a lot. However without the base and top coats the Barry M nail polish lasted a good week before it started to chip badly :D Which really is good considering it was just the polish on its own. I normally only wear nail polish for about a week because I like to switch the colour up a bit ;) 

After testing it out that way, I decided to re-test but with base coat. I found that this made the nail polish stay on for much, much, much longer than before. It lasted 2 weeks which could have gone on longer, but i get board easy so i changed the colour ;) So if you are looking for a nail polish that last a long time then i would suggest Barry M's nail polish :DDD

Overall I really am glad that I chose a Barry M nail polish and will certainly buy more considering how cheap they are :D leave a comment below telling me your fav summer nail polish shades :33 

Have an awesome, amazing fabulous day...
