Rimmel London 60 Seconds in Pompous

This is another of the polishes that I got given at Christmas!

It's actually surprisingly lovely. I say 'surprisingly' because the 60 Seconds polishes are often a bit thin for me, and I'm not keen on the big flat brush that they advertise as a good thing, haha. It's a very shiny, deep colour, and this was good in two coats. I like it.

Ooh, also, I finally decided to try a different topcoat. I've had enough of Seche Vite...it starts off so great, but about a week later it's so thick and gloopy. Not to mention the horrendous shrinkage it causes on most polishes. Anyway, I tweeted Kelly from Vampy Varnish (one of my favourite blogs ever!) and she kindly tweeted back and said her favourite is Nubar Diamont Seal and Shine. So I ordered some from BeautyBay.com, and I'll let you know how I get on!


What's your favourite topcoat?

Rimmel Pro in Ultra Violet and Michael Kors MK5128

I'm back! You may not have noticed since my blogging is somewhat sporadic recently, but I've been on holiday. My husband and I went to Turkey to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, it was lovely.


My nails grew loads when I was away, or it feels like they did. I only painted them once while I was there (is that weird? I just can't leave them!) Here's a picture from the day before I went, with newly trimmed nails:

And here are the pictures I took today:

As you can see, I got a tan hehe. You can also see how much they've grown in 12 days! I think I'll trim them again tomorrow actually.


What I used:

• Essie Trillionails nutritional formula as a base coat - I like this a lot
• Rimmel Pro in Ultra Violet (2 coats)
• Nails Inc Culford Gardens for random dots
• Seche Vite topcoat

Just quick and easy nails today! Also, because I'm a lucky lady, here's a picture of my anniversary gift from my husband:

He bought me a Michael Kors watch (MK5128 I believe) I've wanted one of these for ages, and I'm so happy with it! It's rose gold and lovely. He even snuck my old watch into the jewellers and had it resized so it was perfect when I opened it.


That's all for now! If you want to see any holiday pictures, I'm on Instagram as @eternallife_
