Hello! Last week I mentioned that I’d been trying out soak-off gels for a couple of weeks, so here is the review for you. I was kindly sent the NYK1 Secrets Gel Starter Kit to try out and review. Gel nails areΒ totally new to me,Β I’ve always been a bit nervous to try them as the process seemed a little tricky, so this has also been a fun learning experience for me! With this in mind, I just want to disclose that I am in no way trained professionally or otherwise in gel nails, so my experience *could* be subject to my own lack of my experience – and I wouldn’t recommend that you take my advice as given, it’s literally just what has worked/hasn’t worked for me π

Revlon I’m Electro
Hello chickas! On my shopping spree recently I came across a lot of new offerings from Revlon, as well as the Parfumerie collection I was talking about in yesterday’s post. One of these was the Revlon Spiderman collection, also known as the Revlon Electric Chrome collection. It’s a collection of six colour-shifting polishes. I wouldn’t go so far as to call them duochrome as you’ll see from the pictures, but they’re pretty colours and in the bottles they look amazing. Inspired by the new film, The Amazing Spider-man 2, each bottle has a decorative gold spider web on the cap. It’s the little things! π
A few of the other nail varnishes in the collection didn’t seem so unique to me so I decided to try just one, so that if I didn’t like it I wouldn’t have wasted money, as I hadn’t seen any swatches at that point. I picked up I’m Electro, which in the bottle is a lovely steely blue shimmer with a purple shift. However:
Illamasqua Perseid
Hey everyone π how are you enjoying Blogmas? I’m definitely enjoying it more than I thought I would – forgot how good it feels to be blogging regularly! π
Illamasqua recently released quite an exciting limited edition collection: two nail polishes and two lipglosses, created by bloggers! The collection is called ‘#Creators‘. It was launched to celebrate 5 years of Illamasqua – Happy Birthday! π
I was excited to see a very unique polish called ‘Perseid’, which means ‘an explosion of meteor showers’, created by StyleSuzi. I snapped it up as soon as I saw the bottle shot – in the bottle, it’s gorgeous…
