Seventeen Gel Colour Nail Varnish Review

Seventeen have been knocking out some great makeup recently , a particular favourite is the Phwoar paint concealer , so I always stop by the stand to have a look.
I was wanting a dark nail varnish , that's was nt black , or dark red and the colour Blue Lagoon caught my eye, somewhere between a royal and navy blue . It's in there gel polish range which I'm always dubious about but it was more the colour that appealed to me . 

I applied it as soon as I got home , it went on smoothly , 2 coats gave really good depth of colour and I liked the shape of the brush , it's quite stiff, flat and wide which I find really easy to paint with . 

It left a really glossy finish even without a topcoat which is why I suppose they called it a gel colour . The other  reason would be that it boasts an 8 day wear , this was not so much the case I had chips on several nails after a few hours , now I'm never the best with nail varnish it does chip a lot on me , but I would at least normally expect to get the day I paint them chip free.  I have tried it again a since and did the same . So a little disappointed I have to admit as I really like the colour .

Boots Haul

So my unofficial spending ban did not last long .
A little trip into Boots  this morning left me a little lighter on the pocket .

I passed the stand for Maybelline and there was just one little Instant Pore Eraser primer all on its lonesome just had to be taken , so much hype around this so a must for my curiosoty to try. It was buy 1 get 1 half price so the Eraser Eye concealer was mine , it would be rude not to, would nt it ?

Seventeen gel colour nail polish in shade blue lagoon also just managed to  jump into my basket  . I was wanting a dark blue  so ot was fine I let it stay . 
The 2 mascara s  I was in desperate need of  . My old one is probably 9 months old and well past the recommended 3 month  guide limit . Im very strict with my kit mascara s , but when it comes to my own - not so good. I usually buy  Loreal as I just much prefer them over most brands including high end . Its normally volume million I get , but opted for waterproof as I don't have one for those  days its needed. The other again Loreal is the false lash flutter in extra black. I had seen a review ober tje5 weekend on youtube so had to try for myself .

No doubt individual blog posts will follow,  so keep you eyes peeled .
