Forks and Brushes

Essie’s nail polishes are not that expensive anyway (£7.99 each). However, every little helps when it comes to saving pennies on our wallet. The nail polish I am talking about is L’Oreal Color Riche Nails in Opera Ballerina (£4.99 each). It is their Spring Edition polishes (The lavender pastel blue called Nouvelle Vogue is gorgeous too! Check out my blog dedicated to all things pastel blue ). This nudy pale pink colour is very pretty and soft. The brush is wide that makes application so easy and smooth. The consistency is quite sheer, I put on 3 layers to give an opaque finish. Left: Essie Fiji   Right: L'Oreal Color Riche Opera Ballerina Compare to Essie Fiji, Essie Fiji has more pink in it where Opera Ballerina is more nude and has a peachy undertone, which reflects the soft leather ballet dancing shoes (which are peachy pink, not pink-pink) I love the L’Oreal bottle too! It is slim and compact, easy to store and product won’t be wasted! Honestly, when do you eve

Last year was all about mint green. This spring I am obsessed with everything pastel blue.

After reading Jen From Head to Toe's MLBB (My Lips But Better) Lipsticks post ( here ), I am inspired to share my own MLBB.
