Nail Look: First Dance

Today Im wearing First Dance by NYX Cosmetics. First Dance is from their advanced salon formula range and its a beautiful white with gold and silver sparkles. I think this is such a pretty nail polish to be rocking now that its finally Christmas. I dont know why, but this nail polish reminds me of snow, I love it :)

I normally dont wear white nail polish but I think Im going to change that. I really like how clean and fresh this makes my nails look. Its definitely a nice change to all the colors I normally wear on my nails :)











What do you think about First Dance? Which nail polish are you wearing right now? :)
Love, Christine

My Nail Polish Collection, Storage & Organisation [Updated]

Since my Nail Polish Storage & Organisation has changed since my previous post, I thought I would do an updated one and show you how I keep everything safe and sound. If you see any nail polishes you would like me to swatch, dont forget to let me know in the comments below :)




♥ Before


♥ After.

My boyfriend got me this big drawer from Skeidar (store in Norway) for our 4 year anniversary. This is where I keep all my makeup and also my nail polishes (I store them in the bottom drawer). I try my best to keep my nail polishes organised by brand but sometimes its just hard to keep track of everything haha, is anyone having the same problem? :)









I keep most of my nail polishes in these black containers but I feel like I can fit more polishes into the drawer if I remove the containers. What do you think? :)



I store some of my newest nail polishes in this acrylic nail polish rack which I bought on Ebay. I keep this on top of my drawer for decoration and also for keeping track of new and old nail polishes I want to try out. I try to change up the colors every now and then with new colors I haven't played with in ages so I always find new treasures in my collection :)

I have been eyeing those nail polish racks that can hold up to 90 polishes but the shipping to Norway is crazy expensive. Maybe I should try and make one myself? I have seen some Youtube videos on how to make them, how hard can it be? Haha, let me know if anyone of you have tried making your own nail polish rack :)

I hope you like my post and that it was helpful for those of you who are looking for new ways to organise and store nail polishes. I would love to see how you store your nail polishes so feel free to tweet me a pictures or leave me a link if you have done a blog post about it as well :)

What do you think about my new storage and how do you store your nail polishes? :)
Love, Christine

Coastal Scents Go Palette in London [Swatches]

I am so happy that I picked up this London Go Palette from Coastal Scents. I really love how pigmented the eyeshadows are. They are a little powdery but nothing too extreme, just make sure to apply an eyeshadow primer so the shadows last longer. Let me know what you think about the swatches in the comment section below :)






♥ Row 1.


♥ Row 2.


♥ Row 3.

If you get the chance to pick up something from Coastal Scents, I really recommend that you check out their Go Palettes. They have 7 different palettes to choose from and all the colors are beautiful and pigmented. The London Go Palette is also available in the Coastal Scents Go Palette Set. Its out of stock at the moment but Im sure it will be available again soon. You can find the Go Palette Set here.

Beijing is the next Go Palette on my Wishlist. You can find it here :)

Have you tried the Go Palettes from Coastal Scents? :)

Coastal Scents Haul: Brushes, Nail Polishes and Go Palette in London

I recently ordered some products from Coastal Scents when they were having 50% of their entire website (I believe this was their Black Friday offer) and I wanted to share the items I picked up with you.

Its been a long time since I have ordered anything from Coastal Scents so it was fun to see new products on their website. I ended up ordering 3 brushes, 6 nail polishes and an eyeshadow palette from their Go Palette Collection. Let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you think about them :)






♥ Go Palette in London. You can find this product here.




♥ Pro Blending Fluff Brush (Top, link) Destiny Blender (Middle, link) & Blending Brush (Bottom, link)




♥ Coat Nail Polishes in Cappuccino, Tweedia & Lily Pad. You can find these here.




♥ Coat Nail Polishes in Wisteria, Galaxy & Cosmic. You can find these here.

If you have seen my nail polish collection and storage post, you all know how much I love nail polishes haha! Im super excited to try these out, especially Cosmic, it looks so unique and beautiful in the bottle :)

The Pro Blending Fluff Brush looks similar to Sigma's E25 brush. Im excited to see how these two compare to each other. The Pro Blending Fluff Brush by Coastal Scents is only $3.95 while the E25 by Sigma Beauty is $9. If you are on a budget, the Pro Blending Fluff Brush by Coastal Scents is definitely worth checking out :)

I cant wait to play around with my new products from Coastal Scents. I will post swatches of the Go Palette in London and the nail polishes in upcoming blog posts :)

No7 Mini Beautifier [Swatches]

Yesterday I went by Boots to pick up this No7 Mini Beautifier. They were having 50% of (part of their Advent Calendar deals) and since Im new to this brand and their products I decided to pick it up and give it a try :)

Inside this cute little kit you get three eyeshadows in Innocence, Truffle and Wheatsheaf. High Shine Whisper (lipgloss), Bronze Rollerball Shimmer (Limited Edition for gift only) Mascara (Limited Edition for gift only) and two eyeshadow applicators :)











I paid $12.50 for this kit (original price is $25) which is a good deal for 6 sample products. I love trying out mini products before going out and buying the full sized ones. I have bought some full sized products that I didn't like and its just a waste of money if you ask me.

I love how small and compact this kit is, its great for travelling since you get some variation of products to play with. Its also perfect to keep in your handbag since its so small and it wont take up much space. I cant wait to play around with it :)

If you enjoy reading my posts, feel free to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions or blog post requests, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email, I would love to hear from you♥

How do you feel about mini products? Do you like them? :)
Love, Christine
