Nudes
Nudes have been around for the past year or so and they are not going anywhere for now.
This is a very wearable hue, it suits every skin tone and will go well with any outfit.

"Milkshake" - A lovely malted chocolate nude.

"Cappuccino" - A brand new addition to the range, a lovely milky coffee shade

"Nude" - Another new addition to the range, as the name suggests a perfect simple nude



So there you have it, the best of the nudes on the high street, next time Neons & Brights x

Collection 2000 Hot Looks nail polish in "All that Jazz"

Back in July I done a review on a stunning summer purple called "Teeny Bikini" from their summer collection, now they have brought out their Autumn / Winter colours and I have fallen in love with them all!!!

The first colour I tried was "All that Jazz" is a fabulous metallic gunmetal grey with flashes of silver running through it.

(Sorry for the bad quality of photo, camera is playing up!!)

The coverage again is fantastic, only 2 coats are needed, and again it dries very quickly.

One little tip, if you really want it to bang you can use one on the many glitter topcoats that have come out recently.

Still an unbelievable £1.79, you'd be silly not to x

You can get collection 2000 at boots in store or online www.boots.com or superdrugs in store or online www.superdrug.com

At the moment superdrug are doing 3 for 2 across all cosmetics in store and online, which is a great excuse to get a few different things for less!!

Collection 2000 Hot Looks nail polish in "Teeny Bikini"

Recently a few make up companies have been bring out smaller bottles of colours, i'm assuming that this is because of money being tight for everybody nowadays, with them being cheaper than a normal size bottle of polish it means that you wont have a reason not to splash out on a new bottle.

I came across this range from collection 2000 last year, I noticed that a lot of their colours are bang on trend, which is always good in my book.

This summer they have brought out a range of colours that "so now" and I have to admit I now own quite a few, so you can expect a few reviews on this range.

The colour "teeny bikini" is a beautiful not too dark purple.
The consistency of the polish is good, as it is a dark colour you wont need more than 2 coats to get good coverage.
On the bottle it claims that it is fast dry and to be honest it is, by the time I had finished my right hand my left hand was touch dry.

Its long lasting too, I painted my nails last Sunday (a Sunday night tradition!!!) and as you can see in the photos they still look really good, just a bit of wear and tear on the tips due to me typing all the time!!!

So all in all I love this colour, if you love your dark colours in the winter then this is a perfect alternative for the summer.

Other companies are doing a similar colour, Rimmel's is called "perfect plum" from the I love lasting finish range and Barry M's nail paint in "bright purple" number "np303".

The best thing about the hot looks collection is the price £1.79!!! a perfect guilt free treat!!

5 out of 5 stars ★★★★★
