Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat

Hi everyone, today I have for you Innisfree peel off base coat review. I have had this for months and never used it, would have come in handy for removing that green jelly sandwich that was a pain to remove U_U

So the peel off base coat is basically a white base coat that your coat your nails with and it dries clear like a regular one. It smells just like PVA glue lol I've read reviews about using PVA glue as a make shift one but I already had this one in so I haven't tried that :)

I did quite a thin coat on each nail, waited about 5 minutes for it to dry. It does dry slower than a normal base coat but the removal makes it worth it. I think due to only applying a thin thin coat it made mine peel of in little bits rather than whole, next time I will try a thicker coat. 

I took this off the day after as I wanted to check it out, there were no chips or peeling so I think it would have lasted a few more days if I hadn't removed it. 

So the glitter I was wearing was 3 coats of Butter London Lovely Jubbly which I used a matte top coat over the top ^^

When I peeled it off there was tiny little bits of base coat left on some of my nails so I quickly went over with a cotton pad and tadaa, 5 minutes = clean nails not acetone and foil ^^

See how mine peeled off in loads of little pieces.

Enjoy! x

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

I've just recently bought a bottle of Bourjois Magic nail polish remover. I've had my bottle maybe 2 1/2 weeks and honastly i'll never go back to regular polish and cotten. It retails for £4.99 in Boots and Superdrugs. I heard this was a hard to find item, all sold out. So armed with cash and time I went hunting for my bottle. Luckily we have quite a few Boots around the local area, even better it was in the first Boots I went into. So it was an easier task than thought lol

Enough of the tale though, how does this beauty work? Well basically inside you'll find a sponge soaked in non acetone remover, with a hole in the middle. Basically you put your nail in the hole, wait, twist and it's gone. Does it take 1 second, no i've found it hasn't. Does this deter me from this product again? Again no, it still makes removal less of a chore and more easy. Better yet when making a mistake or smudging your fresh manicure, happens to me all the time you can easily remove and start that nail again without ruining your other nails and ending up with cotten stuck to the still tacky polish. Face it who hasn't been there? ;)

This is what the bottle looks like. I've used it with cremes over the last 2 weeks, easily removed in less than 5 minutes, no stains on my skin. Perfect!! But what about glitters? Read below to find out!

So this is the first major glitter mani i've done while owning this polish remover and wanted to see if it was easier and quicker using this. Normally it'd be the foil removal method, that never worked for me, the foil was fiddly and annoying or using an acetone remover to scrub my nails that would take well over 45 minutes! Not practical.

So here is my mani. Butter Londons The Black Knight, lots of pink and blue glitter.

Beautiful yes? There's also an extra layer of Barry M Pink Iredescent on my accent, more glitter!!

I started using it on one finger to show you guys how this worked with all this glitter. I just popped the nail right in and counted up to 30, I knew it wouldn't work anything less and I was right. Here's what happened after twisting and removing.

You can see the glitter hasn't been removed completely but it sure got through quite abit. So I redid my nail counting to 30 again, twist and out.

All gone! And in less than 10 minutes we had..

Nails ready for painting. Over all this took me 20 minutes altogether and I was taking photos in between. Took off over 30 minutes I would normally spend on glitter.

I LOVE glitter I just hate removing it but with this, I didn't mind it and I will definately get myself another bottle of this :)

Enjoy! x

Butter London - The Black Knight

I couldn't wait to try out one of my haul polishes and besides being ill today, I still managed to change my nails once the world stop spinning ;) I chose The Black Knight by Butter London, how could I not just look at that in the bottle *drool*

I found it pretty easy to apply, this is 2 even coats that went on pretty smooth.

I added an extra layer of Barry M Pink Iredescent over my ring finger to give it an extra sparkly accent though it didn't come through well on camera. I found this polish so hard to photograph but I got a reasonable shot in the end!

This is just all beautiful glitter, I hope it's easier to remove with my Bourjois Magic Nail polish remover, we'll see and i'll update on that when I take this off as we all know glitters look pretty but the removal strikes fear into all our hearts lol

Over all I love polish, getting this from my buddy really made my day. I might have sqeaked out loud when I unwrapped this one hehe

What do you think of this gorgeous polish? I apologise the picture is not great, glitters are so hard to photograph.

Enjoy! x
