Review: Achieving the perfect Manicure with China Glaze

Even though winter hasn't arrived yet I decided to coat my nails in this dark shade. This in one of my favourite colours for my nails and I tend to wear it a lot through the winter, however on the odd occasion during the summer days this colour will make an appearance.

Nowadays so many brands have this exact shade, and I normally go for the Chanel’s “Rouge Noir” but that’s got a hefty price tag on it. I recently came across China Glaze that a similar shade called “Prey Tell”, which doesn't leave a hole in your pocket.

If you want to add chic-ness to your nails this is the colour for you, it’s not vibrant and in your face but a colour that will get you noticed.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by China Glaze’s nail lacquer, not only does the polish glide on nicely, it has a beautiful gloss. I haven’t touched this polish for months and it hasn't become gloopy like other nail lacquers, as it still glides on like the first day I used it.

If applied well this nail polish does last and does not chip easily. To keep my manicure looking fresh I use China Glaze’s “First &Last” for a base coat and a top coat. Everytime I feel like my manicure is looking dull I just add a coat of “First & Last” and it instantly freshens up my manicure.

You can find China Glaze on Beauty Bay, starting From £6.95

My beauty wish list!

Hello my beauty lovers!! Here are a few things that I am dying to get my hands on, they are all #lush.

First up is this  Laura Mercier Crème de Pistache Body Butter. I first was introduced to this by a friend who offered me some of the hand cream and OMG the scent is absolutely DIVINE. The smell is like having good quality Italian Pistachio ice cream all over your body, it's absolutely yummy without the calories.

This is Shu Uemura's "classic" cleansing oil which is perfect  for all  skin types. Now some of you might be a bit sceptical about washing your face with oil, but I was exactly the same because being Asian I have oily skin and am prone to break outs. I managed to grab a sample out of my friends one and tested it out for a number of weeks and I found that it leaves your face so smooth and looking radiant. I can't wait until my current cleanser runs out so that I can purchase this baby.

Now beauts, how beautiful are these nail lacquers? I recently went into Selfridges and came across the "Pierre Hardy for Nars" collection, I must say all the nail lacquers of this collection are so nice, I particularly liked the Sharplines colours (pictured). I think there's something for everyone, but not too sure about the blushers though a bit too bright for me.

Now this Chanel blusher is right up my street, as always the package is exquisite and I love how the design of the actual blush is made to look like the classic Chanel tweed jacket. This colour goes on beautifully and gives a nice tan colour with a twist of coral to highlight those cheeks.
