CH NAIL NAIL LACQUERS: REVIEW, PHOTOS & SWATCHES

Today I have three nail polishes from a brand called CH Nail to share with you. The CH Nail Nail Lacquers come in a bunch off really fun and bright shades, which are available at Born Pretty Store for $4.99 each. They are quite affordable compared to some other nail polish brands out there, but are they worth picking up? Read more to find out what I think about them! :-)

 ♥ CH Nail Nail Lacquers in #09, #13 & #14. 

 ♥ CH Nail Nail Lacquers in #09, #13 & #14. 

 ♥ CH Nail Nail Lacquer in #09.  

CH Nail Nail Lacquer in #09 ($4.99 for 15ml/0.5 fl.oz.) is a pretty neon green. It's quite sheer, so you definitely need to apply a couple off extra coats for it to look somewhat similar to how it looks in the bottle. It didn't go on looking streaky or patchy on my nails though, which is always a good thing. It's opaque in three coats.

It looks a bit darker in the bottle than how it looks on the nails, so be aware off that if you are thinking about picking up a bottle for yourself. It's a very cool, fun and fresh color for Spring and Summer! :-) 

 ♥ CH Nail Nail Lacquer in #13. 

CH Nail Nail Lacquer in #13 ($4.99 for 15ml/0.5 fl.oz.) is a pastel peach with a creamy finish. It's a little sheer and quite streaky, which made it a little difficult to work with. The consistency is quite thick, so make sure to apply thin coats or else it can look a bit thick and goopy on the nails. It's fully opaque in three coats.

Out off all three nail polishes here, this was the most difficult one to work with. Nonetheless it's still a very pretty shade, which makes the nails look very fresh and clean! :-) 

♥ CH Nail Nail Lacquer in #14.

CH Nail Nail Lacquer in #14 ($4.99 for 15ml/0.5 fl.oz.) is a neon pink with a creamy finish. I didn't have any issues with this shade at all. It's quite easy to work with and it's the most opaque nail polish here with only two coats.

If I could only recommend just one shade here, it would have to be this one. It's such a gorgeous pink, which is going to look so cute on the nails and on the toes for Summer. I have a feeling that I will be reaching for this one a lot! :-) 

♥ CH Nail Nail Lacquers in #09, #13 & #14. 

Overall, there are definitely some really cute and fun shades in this range off nail polishes from CH Nail. I have always been a big fan off bright nail polishes for Spring and Summer, I love how they look on the nails and how they just brighten up any outfit and makes it pop.

The CH NAIL Nail Lacquers are not the most quick drying nail polishes, but I didn't find them to be too crazy. It helps a lot if you apply a quick drying top coat afterwards. The cool thing about these is that they actually glow in the dark. How fun is that? I have never owned or tried out a glow in the dark nail polish before, so that's pretty fun! :-)

You like or are interested in trying out a glow in the dark nail polish.

You might not like this product if:

Today, I have five products from the new Make Up Store Deluxe Collection to show you. The Deluxe collection is quite large in size, and it consists off both new and re-promoted products. The collection is inspired by luxurious cloth with a soft pink, greyish purple and beige color theme in both satin-mattes and metallic shimmery textures. So without any further ado, let's jump right into the collection! :-)

Overall, the Deluxe collection is a very pretty collection with a great color theme. I am loving the Microshadows in Old Lace and Thistle. They are both very smooth, nicely pigmented and they look great paired together. The lipstick in Bittersweet is another gem from this collection. It's a little sheer though, but the color is gorgeous. Definitely worth checking out! :-)

MONTHLY FAVORITES: FEBRUARY 2014

♥ Monthly Favorites: February 2014.

Yet another month have passed by, can you believe it? This year is already going by so quickly, don't you agree? February have been a good month! I have been sticking to a lot off the same products as in January, but I have been reaching for a couple off oldies but goodies which I wanted to share with you guys. So let's get started, shall we? :-)

 ♥ Maybelline Fit Me Foundation.

I have re-discovered my love for the Maybelline Fit Me foundation. This is one off the best foundations that I've tried. It looks very natural on the skin, it's easy to blend, it doesn't cling to any dry patches on my skin and it has nice coverage too. I like to use the Maybelline Fit Me concealer whenever I'm using the foundation, they both work so well together.

 ♥ NYX Powder Blush in Peach.

Peach has been my go-to blush for the entire month off February. It's such a pretty peachy pink blush, which looks gorgeous and very fresh on the cheeks. It's easy to blend and it's got nice pigmentation as well. If you want a blush that's going to give you that natural flushed look, Peach is right up your alley :-) 

 ♥ NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny.

I have been wearing the NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny almost every single day in February. It's very easy to blend, it doesn't make me look orange or muddy and it's super affordable too. The pigmentation is good. It's not crazy pigmented like some other bronzers that I've tried, but I think that's a good thing. I have quite a light complexion, so I don't want to go totally overboard with my bronzer. This is just perfect, love it! :-) 

 ♥ Make Up Store Volume Mascara.

I have been enjoying the Volume Mascara from Make Up Store a lot. It's from their Fusion collection, which came out for Valentine's Day. It gives my lashes good length and volume and it's easy to remove as well, which I'm thrilled about. I can't stand mascaras that are difficult to remove, never end up re-purchasing them regardless how good they are! :-) 

♥ Versace Bright Crystal Absolu.

Simon got me the Versace Bright Crystal Absolu for Valentine's Day. I have been wearing it a lot since I got it, the scent is truly amazing. It's got a floral sweet scent, which isn't too strong and overpowering. If you love the original Versace Bright Crystal, I think you will like this as well. You should definitely give it a good sniff next time you are at the perfume store! :-) 

♥ TV Show: The Big Bang Theory.

 A non beauty favorite has been a show called The Big Bang Theory. If you're not familiar with the show, it's about two physicists, whose geeky and introverted lives are changed when a woman moves into the apartment across from theirs. It's such a funny and very entertaining show, with a bunch off really awesome characters. My favorites are Sheldon, Amy, Howard and Barry Kripke. Do you have a favorite character? :-)

What products have you been loving for the month off February? Are you watching any TV Shows at the moment? Any recommendations? :-) Love, Christine♥
