Gypsy Night

This is last weeks purchase of Gypsy Night from Topshop.

It's horribly hard to photograph and much prettier in person. Gypsy Night is a black jelly shot through with green/orange flakies and holo glitter. It shows up an almost brown shade on the nail rather than true black.



In the sun you can see some of it's glittery goodness and a bit of the flakie's colour shift but it's a polish which really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.







Blurred you can see the holo glitter peeking out:


Overall I am very impressed the polish had good application, covered well and seems to be lasting rather well too, although there's a touch of tip wear as you can see in some of the photos which were taken the day after application.

After this initial purchase from the Topshop range I will definitely be trying out a few more of their colours in the future.

Topshop Make Up

I've read various things about Topshop make up online so I thought I would try a couple of bits out for myself, I chose two items a cream blusher and a nail varnish.



The blusher is in a shade called Head Over Heels:



Unlike my dodgy photos it's actually a warm peachy coral shade, a lot more subtle than the neon photos I've somehow managed to take suggest.





I'm looking forward to trying it out as I am developing a bit of an obsession with cream blushes at the moment, hopefully this one will be a nice addition to my collection.

The nail varnish was one I'd seen a few swatches of online, Gypsy Night, it's a black jelly with various different colours and sized of glitter through it, it looks lovely in the bottle so I'm hoping it'll translate onto the nail just as well.
