♡ Rimmel Metal Rush Nail Polish ♡

Top to Bottom - Pearly Queen layered over a pale pink, Pearly Queen alone, Royal Blue.

I had these lovely nail polishes for my birthday so I thought I would do a quick post on them as they are just so darn pretty and they are part of Rimmel's new A/W collection (and I kind-of wanted to try out my new nail wheels , how swish!)
I have the shades Royal Blue, a teal blue shade with a purple iridescence and Pearly Queen, a lilac pearl with a greeny iridescence. As you can see in the image above there are three shades swatched. I swatched Pearly Queen on top of a pale pink because its very sheer worn alone, you can't tell by the swatch but alone you can see the white tip of your nail beneath the polish (no matter how many coats) and I really don't like the look of it but as a top coat its really pretty.
I actually really love these polishes especially Royal Blue. The formula is really smooth which makes it really easy to get perfectly painted nails each time. The brush is also really wide which is something I look for when choosing polishes as I find it makes painting my nails quicker and easier.
I love the idea of these polishes that you can get a "two shades in one" kind-of look. When you move your nails back and forth the shades will switch, for example Royal Blue switches from teal to purple, which is why I think these polishes are extra special. I really want to get my hands on Purple Reign which is a berry shade.
I am also really liking the rest Rimmel's new A/W collection, I think they've really 'pulled it out of the bag'.

These polishes are just £3.99 (bargain!) and can be found at Boots.

What do you think of these polishes? Do you have/will you be getting some?

Clarins? At Tk Maxx?

Something I really wanted to share with you guys, is something really lovely that I found at Tk Maxx last week!
I don't usually go in there, but sometimes, if I have a lot of time whilst shopping I'll pop in for a look around. I never usually see anything I like, except from the bags and furniture, but I decided to have a quick look at the beauty/skincare/haircare etc. and I'm soo glad I did!
 There were tonns of Clarins products, all for over half price! They had a really pretty pink lipstick, and lovely purple eye-shadow, a lot of skincare and a powder foundation, which surprisingly was in my shade, and a few other things.
 I was chuffed considering I have a huge love for Clarins skincare and trying their make-up was something I'd been interested for while now so I was pleased when I found this beauty :-)

Clarins Rouge Appeal Long-Lasting Lipstick in 12 - Orange Sorbet 
Nail Vanish - 'Hot to Trot' by No7
Swatched 3 times on the bottom, once on the top
The packaging with I absolutely love
This is one of my new favourite lipsticks! It's in a gorgeous bright orange colour, with a silvery, cool toned sheen, which is incredibly flattering for my blue eyes a pale complexion. It's smooth on the lips, and is very long lasting. Even though it's a very "summery" colour, I think it'll work for the Autumn. And it'll definitely be used next summer! The packaging is a lovely red colour. And is in a very abstract shape which I love, it's very unique. But the best part of this product was the price.. It was reduced from £15.50 to £5.99, which I think is a definite steal
Just thought I'd share this with you guys so you could pop to your local Tk Maxx and   take advantage of this! They also had make-up by eyeko, revlon, and calvin klein, so it's safe to say I'll be going back soon!


I'd also like to apologise the lack of posting but I'm thinking about filming a favourite products video? Anyone interested in something like that?


'Til next time,
