Natio Nail Colour Review!

Hello my loves,

Today I'm bringing you all a nail polish review... May I add a Red nail polish review.
I should also let you know that red nail polish is something I hold near and dear to my heart. It's possibly the greatest thing to happen to me since red lipstick.

Anyway, let's get to it.

I received the Natio Nail Colour in 'Valentine'.
Firstly let's discuss the packaging, just your classic nail polish bottle, but hey there's only so much you can do with packaging.
I suppose they could've come up with a line name, not just "Natio Nail Colour" bit boring.

Now let's move onto what really matters, the product inside.
When I first applied the nail polish I noticed it was very thin and runny. When I applied it to all my nails, it was barely opaque, so to fix this I added around 3 layers to get this semi opaque finish (I say semi because when I look at it I can still see the outlines on my nail beds of my natural nail). As well as the product being so runny that it was seeping off my nail and onto my skin, making application a bit messy and tedious (but that's just my honest opinion).
The product also wasn't very quick to dry, left me sitting there for quite a while avoiding checking my phone incase i smudged a nail and have to start again.

I finished off with my Revlon Colour Stay Top Coat, which gave the a glossy finish.

All in all, not the most amazing nail polish I've tried, but my goodness I'm absolutely in love with the colour. If they bring this same colour out with a new formula, maybe a bit thicker I'd be a happy, happy girl.

For now, take care my loves.

Coconut Oil Cleanser!

Hello my loves!

For the past month or so I've been using a lot of coconut oil, and no I don't mean just eating it... Sure coconut oil is mainly used for cooking, it's great for your body, helps control weight, assists digestion, lowers diabetes, supports your immune system, boosts your metabolism and it tastes like you're on a tropical beach holiday! ;) 

But not only is coconut oil for eating, it's perfect for skin care! 

What I like to do when removing make up instead of going for some over priced cleansers that are usually packed with ingredients that I can't even pronounce, I reach for my bottle or jar of coconut oil (Depending on the room temperature the coconut oil may solidify in the cold or liquify in the heat). 

I place some on my hand and wait a few seconds for it to turn into a liquid consistency which will happen when you place it in the palms of your hand, I then just start rubbing it onto my full face of make up... I rub it right in even applying the coconut oil on my eyelids and eyelashes to remove eye make up. I then get a little bit of water in my han
ds and start rubbing that into my face to emulsify the oil. 
When I feel like I've massaged my face enough I take a face cloth (or hand towel whatever you like to call it) and soak it in the hottest water I can bare and then wipe off the coconut oil thoroughly to get all the make up off. 
I then will add a toner to completely get the coconut residue off my face, and moisturise (You can also just use a little extra coconut oil to moisturise.)

I got my coconut oil at a local Asian supermarket, and it's so inexpensive for something that lasts so long! 

Really give it a try, coconut oil is immaculate! 

Until next time, take care my loves.
