Now comes my haul from Turkey 

First I hit up the Flormar store and I think I did quite well, I haven't put the numbers up but if you'd like to know the numbers of any of these then let me know !



Then I went to a Drugstore called Cosmo City where I found the following:


Golden Rose Jolly Jewels


Then I got the following Essence polishes from Cosmo City and 2 different Gratis Stores. To be honest I would have bought all the Essence polishes but at this point I was worried about how many polishes there would be in my luggage, last thing I want is for them to destroy my pretties ! 
They were only 2.5 Turkish Lira which is about 90p !!

L-R: Cafe Ole, Modern Romance, That's What I Mint, Absolutely Blue

L-R : Lol, Let's get lost, The boy next door

L-R: Breakthrough, Chic Reloaded, Miss Universe

Gratis also had a selection of the older Essence Color & Go polishes which are now discontinued! I managed to find Glisten Up and a backup of my favorite grey Got a secret!!

Ok, so that's a wrap! See you in the next post :) Oops, almost forgot I am validating giveaway entries and I'll announce the winner soon !

ILLAMASQUA SCARAB & CLARINS 230 !

Hi everybody, hwo are you all doing ? Sorry for my absence but it's been crazy busy recently and I haven't really had time to paint my nails ! 
Anywho today I finished my exam and spent the day packing, cleaning the house, swatching and editing photos, which was fun but tiring but tomorrow I go on holiday, Yaay ! It'll be the first time I fly alone tomorrow and I'm a nervous flyer, so I'm feeling a bit nervous now but I have Candy Crush and it should be ok !
Right ok, onto nail matters, recently I manged to get my hands on the highly sought after Clarins 230 (for an unbelievable price too) ! 
When I first got into nail polish seriously I couldn't see the fascination with this polish or duochromes/multichromes in general,  but then one day I woke up and saw what I'd been missing and ony of my biggest lemmings was born. Well I can tell you guys, this definitely did not disappoint ! 

Below the swatches you see are 2 coats of Illamasqua Scarab and 2 coats of Clarins 230

This is a very very pic heavy post, you've been warned!




















Eeek ! Sorry for the 'claw' but the colour shift looks amazing here !








Underwater shots 






Well ... that was a lot of pictures right, I hope I've managed to show just how gorgeous this polish is! 
There was not a single time that I looked down at my nails and I didn't see a colour shift, and in my honest opinion this is a million times better than it's dupes. This is definitely worth the splurge, trust me, when you get this on your nails you'll forget how much you paid for it so if your thinking about getting it I say go for it! 
Or maybe you already have this?
