NOTD- Barry M Peach Melba

  Thought I would do a quick post on my NOTD. Doesn't this scream spring, but somehow winter decided to make a comeback this last 2 days, come on sunshine you can do it;)

This is the perfect peach nail polish IMO.

Here's to the coming week!

Winter Nail Polish Picks

I love nail polishes, actually i'm a little bit obsessed. So i thought I would share my love/obsession of these gorgeous nail polishes with you and up a post on my top winter picks. 

Now there is no rule when it comes to what colour nails you have on at different seasons. If you feel like rocking a bright yellow polish in winter, you should! However these are a few colours that I personally think would look gorgeous in the winter, not saying I wont use them anytime else. 

China Glaze-Below Deck, Zoya-Caitlin, Milani-Teddy Bare, Barry M-Bright Purple, Sally Hansen- Mocha Mix

CG Below Deck- love in a bottle..a gorgeous taupe brown that can pull purple in some lights...simply gorgeous.

Zoya Caitlin -  a periwinkle blue with grey undertones, I love these sort of colours anytime of the year actually.

Milani Teddy Bare - this is apparently a dupe to Chanel Particuliere.  A browny grey polish, makes me feel very mature when i have this on.

Barry M Bright Purple- these babies are so inexpensive and extremely pigmented, all you need is 1 coat and your done..highly recommend Barry M nail paints. This gives a nice pop of color and looks gorgeous on short nails. 

Sally Hansen Mocha Mix - this color reminds me of a cup of hot cocoa and some marshmallows..*i'm nuts* ..i guess it screams winter to me.

What are your winter nail picks?

Being Bold with Pigments

I consider myself a neutral girl when it comes to eyeshadows....I play it pretty safe when it comes to colour choices and never really dare to stray into uncharted territory ..but after seeing a billion Youtube vids on Barry M pigments and considering how affordable they are I decided hmmm maybe I can start my experimenting with some colours using these pigments. 

I never was much of a pigment user until recently. In fact these were the very first pigments that I owned and so I guess you could say I kinda went pigment crazy from then onwards. I have come to accumulate a few of these wonderful pigments, so I thought I would do a mini review/swatcheroo of them.

These are all swatched wet using some Mac Fix+ and without an eyeshadow base.I personally feel  the best way to use pigments is to use them wet as it brings out the colours and makes them more intense.

L to R: 88 winter berry, 55 fig, 20 baby blue, 92 aqua gold, 59 lilac

L to R: 87 coral, 3 pink/gold, 44 bronze, 39 tan, 96 gold

These pigments are awesome if your like me and experimenting with new eye products and want to try playing around with pigments. They're extremely pigmented and come in a vast arrays of colours. My personal favourites are bronze and tan neutral gal at heart.  Love love love them! You can get these wonderfull pigments from the Barry M website or from Crush Cosmetics. So ladies what are your favourite pigments and how do you use them?
