Kardashian Kolors Nailpolish

Hi Everyone, I've been wanting to do a post on these nail polishes ever since my boyfriend got them for me for Christmas. I wanted these so badly, and they were really hard to find so I was pretty much shocked when I opened them on Christmas Day. They are the Nicole By OPI Kardashian Kolors. 

There are 14 Kolors (sorry I'll stop that) in the collection I have 10 of the 14. There are some glitters and some cream finishes. They are all super pretty and I'll let you know more about what I think of them below the pictures...

 

As you can see there are some lovely colours in the collection, and the glitter polishes are especially awesome. I find they wear reasonably well and lots of them only need two coats to get an opaque finish. I'll go through each of the colours briefly, so if you're interested in a particular colour you can get an idea of what it's like.  

Kendall On The Katwalk: This polish reminds me of a mermaid, it looks so pretty on the nail and I love wearing it. This polish has a blue base with more blue, green and purple glitter. It looks really awesome on the nails especially with a really shiny top coat. 

Wear Something Spar-Kylie: This one is pretty, pink and sparkly it has a nice opaque formula for a glitter and goes on really nicely. The only thing I did notice was that it didn't have a shiny finish and you will need to add a topcoat to this to give it a nice glossy finish. 

Follow Me On Glitter: This is one of my favourites, it's a grey/black glitter with added rainbow glitter circles. I love that they added rainbow to it otherwise it would just be another standard grey glitter. I found once again it had a slightly matte finish so you'll need to add a good topcoat. 

Disco Dolls: This is basically the gold version of Follow Me On Glitter. A gold base with rainbow glitter circles, I think this is the most original and also another favourite of mine. This colour is pretty opaque and you only need two decent coats to get a good finish. I really like the brushes on these polishes they make them really easy to apply neatly. 

Rainbow In The S-Kylie: Yes you've probably seen something similar before, OPI's Rainbow Connection is pretty much an exact dupe for this colour. I find this colour hard to apply and you have to move the glitter around on your nail with the brush to get an even coat. Aside from the application issues it's an awesome colour. 

It's All About The Glam: This looks horrible in the photo above on the colour wheel. But I promise this colour is really pretty, it's a shimmery white. You need a few coats to get a decent finish with this and I did have some streaking issues. But once you get enough coats it looks lovely on the nail. 

All Kendalled Up: This is a really creamy hot pink,  I find it's easily dupable but it's a pretty colour especially if you don't own one similar. Only need about two coats with this one. 

Kourt Is Red-y For A Pedi: This is my favourite non glitter of the collection, it's a redish/coral colour and it's super bright. The finish of this isn't a creamy it's more like a jelly finish but it's lovely and I've worn this one the most. 

Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam: I thought I would love this colour, and don't get me wrong it's lovely but I suck at applying polishes and this ends up all over my skin and just looks really messy. I do love the colour though and you only need 1-2 coats max.  

Kim-Pletely In Love: This is a baby pink but it has a bunch of blue micro glitter in it which makes it even better. The photo above does this colour no justice whatsoever and I would recommend this to anyone who likes pretty girly nails. You do need a fair few coats of this though, I've used a lot of this polish.

Sorry for the annoyingly long post, but I wanted to give you an idea of what the colours were actually like. I think all the formulas of these polishes are really good except for the thin ones where you need a lot of coats. I would recommend 'Follow Me On Glitter' 'Disco Dolls' & 'Kourt Is Red-Y For A Pedi' as they're probably my favourites. 

Has anyone else tried any of the Kardashian Kolors Collection? Which is your favourite one? 

Hope you liked this post, I've become a bit of a nail polish addict lately so expect more posts.

Review: Models Prefer Mattifying Primer

Hi Girls, 

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, doing fun things and such. 

Today's review is on the Models Prefer Mattifying Primer, I've been using this product for a while now and I thought I would let everyone know what I think about it. 

Formula: I love the formula of this primer, it's a clear thick gel like formula that smooths and mattifys skin to reduce oiliness. A little of this product goes a long way and it helps create a really smooth base for foundation, and the formula feels lovely and silky on your skin. I did find when using this product it really helps with smoothing my skin, especially because mine can get a little bit rough sometimes. I don't have the oiliest skin, in fact I'm more on the dry side but this helps my skin feel smooth without drying it out like other mattifying products do. I would like to note that it does contain a form of silicone, and I know some people avoid products with silicone due to whatever reason. So just make sure to read the ingredients - Although I have had no trouble with this formula. (full list of ingredients can be found here)

Does it work?: This is always the big question when it comes to primers, I've never tried a high end primer so I can't really compare this product to a more expensive one. But I think this does a great job of creating a smooth base for foundation which in turn helps the foundation lasts longer. It also seemed to minimize my pores, which is another bonus for me. I do think this is a great primer for the price and does pretty much everything it says it's meant to with mattifying, smoothing and increasing the length of foundation wear. 

Price & Packaging?: The price of this product is fairly reasonable it's around $12.99AUD from Priceline which is pretty good considering it works well and a little of the product goes a long way. 

Now for the worst part about this product the packaging. So at first the packaging was really awesome, it looked nice and sleek with the pump bottle and clear formula so far so good. A few weeks into using it - not so much. I think it's the thickness of the product that after the initial product that was around the pump had been used it really struggled to get the rest of the product out. I've actually had to start taking the pumper out and use my fingers to get the product out which isn't that bad, but it is designed to pump the product out. I think this formula is probably better suited to a tube or a jar as it is simply too thick. If I didn't like the product as much as I did I would have stopped using it as soon as the pump failed. 

Overall: I think this is a great primer for the price and it does everything it claims to do. Aside from the packaging issues I have continued to use it and will most likely repurchase unless I find something better. If you are looking for an affordable primer that makes your skin feel really smooth I would recommend this one. I also think it should work on most skin types, just make sure to read the ingredients so you won't have any issues. 

Overall I give this product a 4 out of 5! 

Has anyone else used this primer - what did you think? Or what's your favourite drugstore primer? 

March Wishlist!

Hi Girls, 

Just wanted to share a  bit of a wishlist of things I've been absolutely loving lately and would love to get my hands on. I've been absolutely all over the place with fashion lately and I can never stick to one 'trend'. I also can't seem to grasp the concept of seasons, probably because I live somewhere where if I wore a big thick coat I would be sweating even in Winter. 

I've been stalking the Marc by Marc Jacobs section on Shopbop for weeks, and I think when I finally have enough money I will be buying those earrings, the shirt and even one of the phone cases. I would also love to get my hands on one of the beautiful handmade scarves by Kish & Evie they're absolutely lovely. 

Where to get everything:

Marc By Marc Jacobs Felted Tank, Opi 'I Don't Give A Rotterdam!', ASOS Tooth Necklace, ASOS Horse Clutch, ASOS Kimino Jacket, ASOS Skater Dress, Marc By Marc Heart Earrings,  Kish & Evie Scarf, Barry M Lip Paint - Peach

I guess I'm obsessed with ASOS to, haha. 

What are you looking forward to buying? 

MAC Naturally - MSF in "Blonde"

Recently I bought the Blonde MSF from the Naturally collection. I had to get my sister that lives in Sydney to buy it for me and post it up to me because it sold out online so quickly - I can tell why.
This mineralized skinfinish is a re-promote from the Brunette, Blonde & Redhead collection in 2009.
It is a really beautiful light pink that graduates into an almost medium toned pink and like all msf's it is quite frosty/shimmery. I saw Ingrid (missglamorazzi) on youtube use this as a blush in one of her videos and it looked great. I was a bit skeptical about using it as a blush on myself but the first time I did, I loved it.

Above is a photo of me (excuse the eyebrows, I'm getting them done tomorrow!) wearing the msf as a blush. It's basically like a glowy pink with the advantage of having a highlight in it so you don't need to use  one. My skin isn't the best at the moment so I find it makes my pores look a bit bigger than usual but I guess most highlighter type products do.

I think this looks really lovely as a blush.

Would you wear this as a blush or keep it as a highlter?
