Review: Bourjois Instant Dry

Earlier this year you may have read my post about the Mavala Oil Seal Dryer (http://call-of-beauty-xo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/review-mavala-oil-seal-dryer.html) which I absolutely loved. It dried my nails so well and really nourished them too. However one fatal afternoon I ended up knocking it over and lost about 3/4's of a bottle! Sad times. Whilst it is a great product I really didn't want to part with another £11 so soon. Then Bourjois released their Instant Dry so I decided to give it a go.

At first I was hesitant as I thought the pipette dropper would make the application messy, whoever I actually really like it. One small drop covers the whole nail, however it doesmt spill over the sides or make hardly any mess.

It really is instant dry. After about 10 seconds I can touch my nails and by about five minutes I'm good to do whatever I want. Perfect for those like me who forever need the loo after painting their nails or have to scratch their nose. Or are just plain lazy and can't be bothered to sit and wait for them to dry. (guilty!) 

What do you think of this?

Throwback Thursday: O.P.I Kiss Me on the Tulips

This was my first ever O.P.I Polish, and I bought it just over a year ago now, and found it in my little (I have two of these 'little' boxes) nail polish box, and thought it was perfect for the sunny weather we were having.

Kiss Me On The Tuplips to be is pretty much a fuscia pink, with a bit of neon about it, and I love it. I forgot how much fun it was to wear bright colours on the nails, opting for nudes due to their ease, and dark colours due to the weather.

I know feel fully ready for summer.

What do you think of this colour?

O.P.I Minnie Mouse Collection

Two post in one day, I haven't done that in a while, but I really couldn't wait to share this with you.
The lovely Shen sent me the mini set of the Minnie Mouse O.P.I Collection as I had been wanting it for ages. So firstly, major thank you to Shen.
Anyway, I am slightly Disney mad, and the thought of this collection left me feeling all warm and lovely inside.

In this collection is The Colour of Minnie, If You Moust You Moust, I'm All Ears and a RapiDry Top Coat. 

The Colour of Minnie is very much a red colour, but it has a slight silver chrome in it, which I think adds to the shine, and takes it away from a bright red, red. A gorgeous colour!

If You Moust You Moust, this colour kind of scared me in the bottle, but I really like it. I thought it would be a matte bright pink colour, but it is actually a nice shiny pink with a hint of purple in it.

I'm All Ears is the colour I was most excited for, and it did not dissapoint. To me, it reminds me of jelly. It is the perfect dark pink/ almost red colour with some glitter in it, without being a glitter polish.

Now, I kind of wish they had put the glitter heart polish in with this set, but this rapiddri is awesome. I love it just as much as my Sally Hansen Insta-dri, this is a more fluid version of that.

Overall, I love this collection, I think they are all perfect and wearable colours. Again, another big thank you to Shen.

Do you like this collection?
