NOTD Sally Hansen - Deep Blue Sea

This was another Poundshop bargain! I snapped up 3 shades in one shop and they have only had in some really insipid shades since, but I check once a month or so!

I loved this when I saw it in the bottle, even the cashier mentioned it but I found it a bit meh and bland on the nail


Even my mum was unimpressed and she doesn't often comment on my nails! Only if she really likes something, she said it just wasn't a polish that made an impact!


I felt this was on the wrong side of frosted, a bit old fashioned


But staying power was good and it lived up to its extreme wear name!


I am glad this was a Poundshop find as I would have been disappointed to have paid the regular £7 for this.

I did pick up other colours that I shall blog and alreadythink will be more flattering than this!

Cheap find! Pound shop version of.....

Bourjois 1 Second polish remover! I have yet to try that as I remove polish so much I just buy a cheap bottle of remover from Sainsbury's and £6 on a remover when I can get polish, well, the polish wins!

So I frequent my towns new Poundshop after finding a couple of Sally Hansen gems so go in after a restock, one day this caught my eye!



As some of you know removing glitter can be a pain, even if it is over a base coat, 2 coats of regular polish and a topcoat so I really did test this to its full potential!


Now, being a bit cheap it stunk to high heaven and the sponge was a bit meh! 


Wrong finger for the last shot but this is basically what you do, you put your finger in, leave it a few seconds, and as the name says, twist and pull!


Overall I am pretty impressed! I will say that I did have to kind of smoosh my nails round the sides to lift off the glitter properly and some nails took a few seconds of keeping them in the pot but it worked as well as my foil method! 

If removing glitter you will need to wash your hands thoroughly as the glitter in the pot transferred to my fingers haha!


For £1 this is a bit of a gem and one I will stock up on again!

Check your Poundshops (the official one!) and see what make-up gems you can find!
