Photo-a-Day ~ Day Thirty ~ Avon Nails!

When I was in my teens I was an Avon addict. Must of my makeup collection consisted of their Colour-trend products and  I loved one of their fragraces, but I don't remember the name of it now.

I know in recent years they've got the Pixiwoo sisters on board and released so may cool products that I've read good things about (dying to try the gel eyeliner pencils that they have!), so I'm quite excited to start rediscovering them and their products.

Last week I got this speed dry nail polish in turquoise pop and I could not wait to paint my nails in it. It's a perfect summer shade that is bright and fun. First off, the brush is one of those wide maxi brushes which I love! The polish was opaque within two coats and had a gorgeous glossy finish, and it lasted a good few days before I chipped it too! (I always chip polish without fail!) . .  I can't make too much comment on drying time though, as I applied my Seche Vite on top before it had set. I wouldn't have said it dried in 30 seconds though.

I love the bottle, the brush and the pigmentation and I'm definitely up for trying some more from Avon now!

Avon 'Mocha Latte' Quad.

I just wanted to a mini review post on this Avon eyeshadow quad that I bought about a year or so ago now. I have recently started using it again, what with the colder weather, and wearing more autumnal darker colours.

The shadows are really soft and nicely pigmented - not saying they are the best ever, but they are buildable and the four shades obviously compliment eachother well. I love the coppery shade the most, and the palest shadow is a perfect highlight.

Here are some swatches of the shadows.

Nice huh? .. My quad is in 'Mocha Latte' .. They have a good selection of different colours. I recommend!

Available here, for £8.50.

Purple Festive Sparkle Nails!

Just another NOTD for you guys. This time it's an Avon Nail Polish, in the shade Decadence, it's a stunner, opaque in just two coats, it dries quickly and I love the application brush, it's thin and precise.

I have had this polish for years, but am pleased to see that they still do it, they just have a different shaped bottle now. For the glitter I used Models Own 'Juicy Jules' polish. Gorgeously sparkle, but a nightmare to remove!

Do you like it?

Decadence is available here, and is currently half price. Juicy Jules can be purchased from here.
