Mac Alluring Aquatics Nail Colour: Shimmerfish

Everybody and their grandmother have already heard about and seen the amazing Alluring Aquatics collection that Mac bought out recently, but when I was ever so fortunate to win this stunning nail polish from The Beauty In Life's blog giveaway, I just had to talk about it! 


It was extremely hard for me to throw away the box of this polish, I mean come on- is that not the prettiest box you ever saw? Thankfully the polish itself is even nicer to look at, with the little fake droplets of water all over the lid against the metallic teal, it's so stunning! The nail colour itself is a very shimmery (go figure) silver with super fine champagne flecks throughout. This looks absolutely amazing when the light hits it, it sparkles and seems like it almost changes colour at every angle.


Shimmerfish is such a complex shade that just doesn't match up to any other nail polish I already own. It applies opaque after two thin coats which is fantastic, and for longevity? After three days of wear I have minimal chipping, which is a rarity for myself. Now hopefully its not too much of a pain to remove…

Let me know if you picked up any of the Alluring Aquatics collection and what you thought of it, I'm dying to get my hands on some of the lipsticks. Thanks again to Hailey and if you haven't already make sure you check out her blog!

Ulta 3 Colour Your Week Prize Pack


A couple of weeks ago I entered the Ulta3 Colour Your Week competition, which involved uploading a picture of yourself to Ulta3's Facebook page holding one of their polishes, and stating which colour of the rainbow it matches. Pretty simple stuff right? I hope to never see the picture I uploaded ever again though.. Anyway, last week I found out I was a lucky winner and today I had a parcel waiting for me in the mail!


Peach Sherbet, Vanilla Frappe, Mocha Ice

Inside the very prettily wrapped package contained seven polishes matching the colours of the rainbow, and three lip glosses. The lip gloss names sounded drool worthy so I already busted them open to give them a whiff. Now that I literally have every colour of the rainbow I think Im set for a while, Thanks Ulta3!
