My Top 2: Spring 2014 Nail Polishes (Pastel)

Hello Everyone,

I am really sorry that I haven't uploaded for over 1 week now but I have been busy and I have not had time to blog. However, I would like to thank all of my viewers because I have been blogging for just over 1 month and already I have over 300 views which for me is crazy. I hope you continue to enjoy my blog and I hope my blog posts help and inspire you. 

Today I am going to talk about my top 2 pastel nail polishes for spring/summer. I personally love bright colours on my nails but sometimes I want to have a calmer colour and I think pastels work for me the best (personally) because they are still quite pigmented but they're not too bright. 


The first colour I would like to talk about is a baby pink colour from Maybelline New York. This nail polish is in the colour NEBLINE 77. I really like this colour because it is very subtle and not overwhelming so its perfect for days when you want to have quite natural looking nails.This nail polish is very pigmented however the first coat is streaky so I apply 2 coats.This nail polish also gives a glossy finish and doesn't chip quickly.

The second colour is a pastel mint colour from MUA. This is in the colour PISTACHIO ICE CREAM. If you have seen/read any of my other blog post you will know that I have a little obsession with the colour mint so I will be wearing this nail polish as well as other mint nail polishes in spring/summer. This nail polish is very pigmented and it gives an amazing result and it has more of a green undertone than a blue undertone. It is also quite glossy like the pastel pink nail polish.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post. I am back to uploading every Wednesday and Sunday. If I am busy then I will update you on twitter and instagram ( they are both @TrendsAndWonder). Share it with all your friends and family.

Comparing EOS And Balmi

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to be comparing the sweet mint EOS to the mint Balmi. I did get some EOS lip balms for Christmas but I believe they were bought online because you can't buy EOS products in England and I bought my Balmi in Boots but if you live in places like America you can buy EOS products in places like Walmart or Target.


The EOS comes in a sphere shape and the Balmi comes in a cube shape but the actual lip balm in the Balmi  is in a pyramid shape. The EOS is alot more solid than the Balmi and the product is more yellow whereas the Balmi is quite white but they both come out sheer on the lips. I find that the EOS does last alot longer on the lips than the Balmi does. I also find that you get less of the lip Balm in the Balmi because I haven't had my Balmi  for a week yet and I have already gone through half of it whereas I have had my EOS since Christmas and I still have alot of the lip balm left. The Balmi is alot more creamy but it is quite hard to get the lid back on which makes the Balmi very messy. After applying the lip balms they both leave a cooling tingle and they leave your lips very soft and smooth. Overall I think that I prefer the EOS because it lasts alot longer than the Balmi but they are nearly both as good as each other.
