Trend To Try: Neon Nails

Hey everyone!
One of the hottest trend out there that everyone should try out is the neon nails trend. They are not just perfect to add a pop of color and spice up your outfit this Spring but they are also fun, young and fresh. I will be showing and reviewing the China Glaze Poolside Collection, which follows this trend perfectly. This collection consists of six in-your-face, bright neon colors. I have a love/hate relationship when it comes with neon nails as I think they look kind of weird on me but these colors are just too pretty for me not to wear!

As I said the colors in this collection are just amazing, though the only hitch was the color payoff. China Glaze has always been one of my favorite nail polish brand as it has a great color range as well as excellent formulation but these colors seem to be a little bit opaque. Each color applies a little bit different so you have to see what works best for each color. I would suggest to paint your nails white before applying any of these polishes as this will make them pop.

Note that neon polishes tend to come out a little bit lighter on camera so they might not show true to color but I did the best I could :)

So, here are the nail polishes :) :

 

Towel Boy Toy, Kiwi Coolada, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Sun Worshiper, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Pool Party

And here are some swatches:

All in all I really like these polishes and am going to rock them all season! My favorite out of this collection would be Flip Flop Fantasy, Kiwi Coolada (my favorite green so far) and Yellow Polka Dot Bikini :)

So, what do you think of the Poolside collection? Are you digging neon nails for this season? 

What's in my travel makeup bag?

Hey everybody!
I am soon going to stay at a hotel for a few days with some of my friends and my boyfriend so I decided to prepare my makeup bag and take some pictures while I do so. I tried to keep the number of products at a minimum since I am going to stay there for just a few days. Honestly, I am quite pleased with myself to have narrowed it down to just these products. Skincare is not included in this as I keep those in a seperate bag.

  So, here's the breakdown:

Maybelline Pure Cover mineral concealer

Max Factor Flawless Perfection Blush in 225 Mulberry

Sleek blush in 923 Pomegranate

Spring Loves!

Hey Everyone!
As for my first post I wanted to share with you some of my top picks for Spring. I recently went shopping and got my hands on some pieces that I absoletly adore!

First, are these pair of bright turquoise platform wedges . Bright colors are super in this Spring and Summer and I thought in what better way can I add a pop of color to my outfit if not with shoes? ... I got these pair of shoes at new look for only £24.99 and you can find them here.

Next is a clutch. Metallics are also a big trend this Spring and when I found this clutch on asos.com in the sale section for only £10, I had to get it. Since metallics are quite a daring trend this is the prefect way to incoporate them in your outfit. The specific one I got is a light beige color with metallic silver, which I think is a great way to tone down any metallic! [Tip- You can find amazing deals on the sale section of asos and most of the time they are free shipping :)]

Another thing I got from asos was this neon yellow watch. Is it gorgeous or what? ... I completely fell in love with it and it is $45.45, which is a reasonable price for a watch. You can find it here :)

Last Spring favorite are any bright or pastel nail polishes, which you can find a great selection of colors at any brand! My favorites at the moment are 'Tart Deco' by essie and Revlon's 'Minted'. 

 

Tart Deco - Essie

 Minted - Revlon

Personally, I am really excited for this Spring's and Summer's trend. What do you think of the items I showed? And what are YOUR favorite trend this season?


Much love!
