Fashionista have been quite talked about over youtube and blogs, and are known for their magnetic nail varnishes fronted by The Saturdays. I popped into Superdrug to have a little look at them, but I was shocked at the prices! The varnishes alone were £6 and then you have to buy the magnet for £3! In Boots you can get the 17 version of the magnetic polish for £5.99 which has a magnet in the lid!
While at the Fashionista stand, I fell in love with the shimmery, gorgeous shades of eyeshadow, and noticed that they had an offer on. The individual eyeshadows were £4 each, but if you bought a quad (usually £5), and bought four eyeshadows to fill it, you could get it for £12! Which would be the price of 3 eyeshadows usually! Bargain, and I thought it would be rude not to pick some up! So I bought two quads, in the red design as I thought they looked classier than the black , logo-covered version, and 8 eyeshadows.

As you can see, these shades are gorgeous! Really nice and shimmery, but a kind of grown up shimmer, nothing overly glittery. The pigmentation is good, but not amazing, it took a few goes to build up the intensity on my hand, but I think a good eyeshadow primer would help with that. I haven't actually tried these on the eyes yet, but I'll give you an update when I do!
Next, I thought I'd show you a nail combo I've been loving. It's Barry M's Peach Melba and Model's own Nail art pen in Black. The result is this...

| Peach Melba, a gorgeous peach shade, as the name suggests! |

This nail art pen is so handy, if you pull off the cap, there's a nib to do dots and designs, and you can also unscrew the bottle, for a long, thin brush to do lines etc. I've been loving polka dot nails, and have worn this for about a month, just changing the colour underneath, reds and blues look lovely with polka dots!
Thanks for reading, hope everyone is okay!
I love how you've completely designed your own neutral day palette, and smokey nights, what a fab idea!
