OPI Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It

Hello Readers!

Today I am reviewing OPI's Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It. It is from the 'vintage minnie mouse' collection, and is a pink glitter polish with small confetti love hearts in it!


It is ideal to wear over another colour, as a top coat. It does require a bit of effort to distribute the love hearts on your nail, because on some coats, you may not even get a love heart out, you'd just get a layer of fine pink glitter!


I am currently wearing this nail polish with my other OPI nail polish, 'My address is Hollywood'.



This is a really girly and fun nail polish, and can see myself getting a lot of use out of it! I have had this on for two days now, and have experienced minimal chipping.

You can get it here for £11, or any other OPI stockist of your choice!

My Rating: 4/5

Thanks for Reading!

Lots of Love

OPI Be a Dahlia Won't You? - Nail Polish Review

Hello Readers!

This is just a quick post, showing you what I am currently wearing on my nails! This is a mini OPI nail varnish, in the shade 'Be a Dahlia Won't You?'. This shade came from OPI Nice Stems collection. This pack contains 4 polishes, and retails for just under £13. You can buy this on BeautyBay here. I think buying miniature OPI's is a good idea, because it allows you to try various colours and finishes for a lower price, and saves you around £11 if you were to buy a full size version, to find you don't like it!

This is a really nice sparkling fuchsia pink colour! It catches the light really nicely, and just is a lovely sparkling colour! It is not glitter, it is just heavily shimmery! Because of how shimmery/ sparkly it is, I found it hard to pick up the exact colour of the polish. 

My flash is making the colour seem more of a red colour, when it is a hot pink

The image on the left, with no flash, is very precise to the actual colour of the polish :D


As you can see, the bottle is tiny! It holds a teeny 3.75ml of product, compared to the full size version which holds 15ml!

Disclaimer: This photograph is not mine, I found it on google images, but I thought I would include it as it shows a true representative of the colour! :)

I really like the formula of this product, and I have had it on for 2 days so far, and have not had any chipping! It is a very glamourous colour haha! I think I may have to wear it on a few more occasions, to be able to decide whether I would like to purchase it full size!

My Rating (for the colour and the quality): 4/5 

Have any of you tried this colour?

Thanks for reading!

Lots of Love

Jack Wills Nail Varnish - Rose

Hello Readers!

The other day, I bought this nail varnish from Jack Wills. For all of you who don't know what Jack Wills is, its a (fairly pricey) clothing brand, which was originally aimed at university students.

I knew Jack Wills did "Beauty" but I was always quite reluctant to try it, because their main selling point is clothes, so I didn't know if they were to look for quality in their products, rather than just launching make up, just because they can! So I thought that I will try a nail varnish first, and see how that measures up!

I got the colour Rose, which in the bottle looks, a cross between a barbie pink, and almost quite coral coloured! However when it is on the nails, it does match up to the description which I just said, but in natural daylight, it almost looks quite neon pink, which personally, I'm not a massive fan of!

The bottle is a lot like Models Own nail polishes, but this one has got a plastic navy lid, as the main colours of Jack Wills are navy and pink. The formula surprised me! It is a fairly thick consistency, but still needs two coats! I have had it on for 2 days now, and there are still no chips! If it stays like this, barely chipping, I will invest in some more colours! Ive seen a really nice baby blue/ mint colour, which is called Aqua on the website, and I really like the look of it!





I will keep this on my nails for a few days longer, and see if I can warm to the colour! If not, I think it will be a nice colour for toe nails in the summer!

This retails for £6 for 14ml. I don't think that is too bad, given the quality! The only downside to this polish, is the colour is a bit bright for my liking!

Here is a link to the page on the Jack Wills website with the nail polishes on!

Have any of you tried any Jack Wills' beauty range? Do let me know what you think to it! :D

Thanks for reading!
