Pure Nail Varnish Review

Hello my lovelies, hope you are all well. I haven't been up to doing any videos lately so thought i would do a review here instead. I picked up these gorgeous nail varnishes  from the Factory Shop about a month ago. I'd never heard of Pure before but  fell in love with the colours and they were all only £1 each! , The shades are Bright Green and Bright Pink. (Personally  i don't think they are very bright, but hey that's just me) both are shot through with gold.

I'm wearing the green at the moment and love it. The brush covered most of my nail and gave an even finish. I could have got away with one coat but did two for a deeper colour. The first coat dried very quickly, the second took a bit longer but was still pretty quick.. The finish had a very slight sheen, not at all glossy, which was a bit disappointing as i love glossy nails. But thats soon remedied by using a glossy topcoat.  I wore the pink one (sorry i deleted the photo doh!) without a topcoat , and it didn't chip for 3 days which i was impressed with.

You get 12ml of product - here's a size comparison with some drugstore  nail varnish 

.

The Barry M on the left is 10ml, the Rimmel 60 second is 8ml  and the  Rimmel Maxx (pale pink on right) is 

 is12ml. 

As i said I hadn't heard of them before but i do know that Boots website are selling some Pure products at half price at the moment (i have no idea if Boots stores sell them) The nail varnish was £6.36 but is now £3.18 which i think is quite reasonable for the size. But i'm going back to The Factory Shop next week and hope to pick up some more for £1. Hope you enjoyed this, will be back with another review very soon. Till then take care

First post of 2010 - finally!

Hello my lovelies, i hope you are all well and enjoying 2010. I do apologise for not posting anything for ages. My depression is bad at the moment and am currently in the process of changing medication - a long and difficult process. So my motivation to do anything is almost none existent.
 But enough of that, i have bought a few things since my last post and will be telling you all about them very soon. I will also be doing some in depth reviews of  drug store foundations, mascaras eye shadows, lip glosses and nail varnish. I will try and swatch products, but for some reason my camera is playing up so they may be a bit blurry.
Well that's it for now as i am about to go do a video for youtube and take some pictures for my next blog post - hopefully tonight
Till then, byeeeeeeeeeeee

Feeling sorry for myself

Well i had to go to the dentist again this morning. I am petrified of the dentist and was having really bad panic attacks yesterday and this morning. I had a filling and two, yes TWO teeth extracted (extracted - thats a very threatning word) My dentist is a lovely lady who is really good with nervous people.My hubby held my my hand throughout. Unfortunately i gripped it so hard i actually broke it..........kidding! I did grip it so hard that it went numb though.The anasthetic is wearing off and it's getting painful
The dentist said i cant do housework etc for today and maybe tomorrow. How will i cope! lol. I cant have anything hot to eat or drink which is a pain as it is very cold at the moment so of course all i want is a nice cup of tea and a hot meal :-(  Oh well at least i have food, which is more than a lot of other people have, so i will stop moaning now.
I tried to do a video last night but wasn't happy with it. Then i discovered that movie maker doesnt work properly on this computer anyway, which i am really fed up about.But hopefully my computer will be sorted out soon.
Well thats about it for now, take care my lovlies

Computer Trouble

Well i am feeling a bit glum at the moment. Have had a bad week due to severe panic attacks and my depression is getting worse. Will be changing medication soon, which is a long, drawn out (and scary) process. And to top it all off, my computer has stopped working. We cant get anyone to look at it till middle of next week so for the forseeable future i will be sharing a computer with my hubby. This wouldnt be so bad if the computer wasnt like something out of the last century. It is soooo slow and half the time doesnt work properly.Also my husband has to do a lot of university work on it. So i will have limited access to it,This means i wont be able to update my blog or upload videos on youtube as often as i would like too. Well i better go now as hubby needs to do some uni stuff. Take care guys and hopefully will be back soon
