Nail of the Day | Rimmel London - Black Cab

If you told me a few years ago I was going to be in love with black nail polish, I wouldn't have believed you. I was always into pinks and reds, and then got into more colors. With that said, black has become my favorite color to paint my nails, and it's all thanks to Black Cab by Rimmel London.

This nail polish is great! It only takes two coats to get completely opaque and it's not an expensive nail polish. It's also super creamy, even if you don't use a top coat (which I always do because that way my nail polish lasts longer).

Si hace unos años me dices que me iba a encantar el pintauñas de color negro, no te habría creído. Siempre me gustaban los rosas y rojos, y luego empecé a usar más colores. Con esto dicho, el negro se ha convertido en mi color preferido para pintar mis uñas, y es todo gracias a Black Cab de Rimmel London.

¡Este pintauñas es genial! Solo tienes que darte dos capas para conseguir que esté completamente opaco y no es un esmalte caro. Es muy cremoso, incluso si no usas top coat (aunque yo siempre lo hago porque así me duran más los pintauñas).

Do you have a favorite black nail polish?

¿Tenéis algún pintauñas negro favorito?

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss

I thought I'd start blogging again since it's summer and I have a lot of free time. I recently bought these two lipsticks and I'm in love with them, so I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you.

These are the Lasting Finish Matte lipsticks from Rimmel London and they're part of the Kate Moss line/colaboration. The colors I have are 103 (the pink one) and 109 (the orange one).



Scent: These are my first rimmel lipsticks so I don't know if they all smell like this, but these smell just like their Apocalips lip laquers. I don't mind it, but I know some people may not like it since it's a bit strong. Anyway, once you apply it and let it dry and all that, you don't smell it on your lips.

Formula: The formula is fairly thick and very pigmented. I like it because since it's a lipstick it's supposed to have a lot of color, and it does. It doesn't go matte right when you apply it, but if you wait a minute or so then you'll notice it. They are a bit drying, but that's expected from a matte lipstick; if you struggle with chapped or dry lips, just apply your favorite lip balm underneath.

Lasting power: I was expecting it to have great lasting power since it's called 'Lasting Finish', but it's not quite like that. If you don't eat or drink, it does stay for a long time, but the moment you get your lips on a glass it's pretty much gone. That's a little annoying specially since it claims to be lasting, but oh well.

Price: I bought it online from BeautyJoint and it was $6.49, which is pretty good. I didn't know how much it was here in Spain so I went into Juteco's website (since I always buy my makeup at that physical store) and it says their online price is 6.63€ but it's 8.29€ in stores. I think that's pretty ridiculous but that's how much makeup is here, so it doesn't surprise me at all.

Here are some swatches on my arm:

103 is a pretty mauve pink color and I've been wearing it a lot since I got it. This color is very wearable and perfect for any season and occasion.
109 is an orange lipstick (it's a little bit onto the red side as well) and although I don't typically go for this color, I'm really excited to wear it this summer. When I ordered it I thought it was going to be lighter, so it was a little disappointing, but I'm happy with it.

Final thoughts: Overall, I think these lipsticks are great and I might buy another color if I find one that I like. They're not lasting like they claim, but their color and pigmentation makes them worth it.

Have you tried any of these? What are your favorite matte lipsticks?

Weekly photos #9

I'm just 2 weeks away from freedom aka finishing my finals :) I'm very excited about it but stressed at the same time because I need to study and I simply procrastinate to the max. Having to maintain a blog and a youtube channel doesn't help, but that's what I like, so I work with it.

Again, I'm only going to have 4 photos, since I'm not doing much anyway.

1. Walking down the street. Funny thing: I thought I had a final at 9am and it was at noon, so I went back home pretty mad and thought I'd go to MAC but the store was closed, so I got even more mad. I don't like to wake up at 7.30 am for nothing :(
2. This color is actually pink but for some reason it looks coral. It's "rose libertine" from Rimmel and I've been wearing it this week.
3. I finally went to MAC (not the day that I was talking about on picture number 1) and got a few things, well, just 3 haha I reviewed one the other day and I'll review the other 2 this week or the next one.
4. I went to Zara and got the prettiest, coolest bag ever! joking, but I'm in love with it. I'll be showing that and some other stuff I got this week in a haul post.

That was it for this week, I hope you guys had a nice one and if you're studying like I should be, then the best of luck for you! :)

Nail of the day #6 - I love glitter!!

First of all I want to apologize for the lack of posts recently, I'm busy with college stuff and I don't have much spare time.
With that said, today I'm doing another nail of the day post. You all know by now that I love nail polish, so yeah :) A while back I did a post on violet nails with pink glitter; well, this one is kinda similar but darker and better.

I applied my Rimmel London nail polish in the color "trend spotting" and after that, a coat of Orly's "shine on crazy diamond" which I'm in love with.
Here's what it looks like:

The Orly nail polish has holographic glitter and it actually does the effect of changing color depending on the light. I'm sad I couldn't  get that in the picture :( But seriously, it's the most beautiful sparkly nail polish that I've ever seen

Nail of the day #5

Do you like matte nails? This is my first time trying them out and I have to say that I'm in love! It gives a totally different look to the same color; it's just amazing!

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of Rimmel's 60 seconds nail polish in the color "Rose Libertine" and 1 coat of Rimmel's "Matte Finish" top coat. This is the final look:
