Embellish Me - Primark/Penneys Caviar Beads Kit

I am a sucker for bargains - it has to be said. I can't resist cute little polishes at the tills in Penneys. Recently I have noticed these little kits of polish & beads combos sitting pretty!

I picked up a pink polish/multicoloured bead combo - the pink has a fabulous shimmer in the bottle, and I was really hoping it would transfer onto the nails. What I like most is this neat little funnel you get - so when applying the beads, you can do it over a little box, or a lid from a box, and use the funnel to put back any beads that fall! This nifty little kit was only €3.50 - I think I'll be going back for more.



To the pics!

I used three coats of this polish, I found it very sheer, and not the best formula either but I could layer it over a nice opaque pink in future, because I do love the shimmer.




I was a little sad to have to cover this polish with beads, it's so girly and cute. The beads remind me of sprinkles for cupcakes - I really like the combo of both, but perhaps not on all nails next time! These beads also seem a bit larger than any beads I've used before. 
They came off quite easily, melting underneath the nail polish remover.

Etude House Strawberry Ice Cream

Recently I have to admit, I have had some huge nail polish splurges! I got some fabulous Etude House polishes via eBay and this one shocked me with both quality and formula/application!

This baby pink polish, was opaque in two coats, it has lots of glitters inside, pink, purple, blue and aqua hexes of varying sizes and a very sparkly shimmer which is subtle but noticeable in the right light!

For the price I paid for this little gem, I am in awe. I stared at my nails for hours, and I wore it for 3 days - a record for me! It is so durable too, with base coat, top coat and two polish coats, there were NO chips or tip wear, and I am heavy handed when typing and had some housework to do while sporting it!

Beware for utter cuteness, because this bottle is divine.

Note there are some star glitters in this polish but I was unable to locate them, even spending a long time fishing in and out, they are not visible through the decent pigment of the polish.
