Nail Product review:Rimmel Salon Pro nail colour with lycra

Hi Everyone

I hope your enjoying the warm summer weather. Today I will be reviewing the Rimmel Salon pro nail polish with lycra. I get into painting my nails once in a while, I don't like to spend too much money getting a nice manicure since the mani doesn't last very long. This particular polish caught my eye since it claims to be chip free for 10 days and it had lycra. 

Product Claims:

Hot shades fresh from the catwalk!

Up to 10 days chip resistant nail colour with gel shine finish!

Including 10 amazing shades created by Kate Moss

Includes our precision maxi brush for salon perfection!

Available in 15 shades

the brush

Product Experience:

I bought the colors reggae splash which is coral and purple rain which a cool toned bluerple for $2.99 you get .4 oz of product.

The varnish has a nice wide brush that has a round tip.

Day 1 had a odd chip it happens right in the middle of my nail.

Day 2 I noticed the tips of my nails wearing off. I did laundry and shredded some receipts.

purple rain

Pros:

• Has a nice wide brush
• Dries fast but does not cure for another few hour.
• Inexpensive
• Available at drugstores

reggae splash

Cons:

• Applies really streaky
• The consistency is creamy but has lumps
• Needs multiple coats to get full color
• Has an odd tacky surface even after the polish has completely dried and cured.
• The tips of my nails started wearing off on day two
• Peels easily
• the polish chips in odd places

after 4 days

Unfortunately this nail polish is a fail for me, I like that this has a nice wide brush and texture of the polish nice. It just didn't live up to the 10 day claim that this will not chip.

Eye make up review: NYX Jumbo eye pencils

Hi Everyone

I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing the NYX jumbo eye pencils, I have heard so many good things about this particular product that I wanted to try it. I still love my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on jumbo eye pencils but this product is on the pricey side. I have not seen this product on sale anywhere.

Product Claims:
A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous. Available in 32 shades.

Product Experience:
The product comes in jumbo pencil form it does need sharpening, very easy and intuitive to use I paid $4.50 for each. I bought the colors Milk which is matte opaque white color, Strawberry milk which is a shimmery medium pink.

Pros:

• The product is very inexpensive.
• Intuitive and easy to use
• The product comes in a wide variety of colors and finishes to choose from.
• Compact, it doesn't take a lot of room and it's easy to store and easy to travel with.
• Can be used as a base to allow the true colors of the eye shadows to show
• Can be used tacky primer for loose pigments, pressed eye shadows etc.
• Availability NYX is now available at Target stores. You can purchase NYX products at Ulta, some 99 cent store, Sears online at NYX.com, Ulta.com, makeupgeek.com etc.

Cons:

• Needs sharpening, this is not a mechanical pencil
• Cant be used alone, creases very quickly so you need to use a good eye shadow base plus set the product with a matching eye shadow.

This is an okay product, the product itself has nice pigmentation that makes it great as a base. If worn alone it will crease. There is also a lot of prep work in order to make this product last. From using another separate eye primer and making to setting the eyes with eye shadow.
