MUA NOTD - U R FAB & Pistachio Ice Cream

I'm seeing my boyfriend today for the first time in what seems like forever and I'm feeling a bit soppy so here's some loved up nails for you! 

I used MUA Love Hearts nail polish in U R FAB which I love and then created hearts with MUA Pistachio Ice Cream :)

MUA Love Hearts - Kiss Me

Soooo I really hate most lip products. I've been buying more lipsticks recently but I hate how drying they are and how after a few minutes you have to start worrying about whether you've smudged it or whether the lipstick on the middle of your lips has disappeared. Lip glosses are just sticky and lip balms never usually have much colour! So usually, I just don't bother. BUT I really liked the look of the MUA Love Hearts Lip Balms and for £2 I thought I may aswell give it a go! I picked Kiss Me because it was one of the brighter shades of pink and as I have quite dark lips I thought paler colours like Sweet Kiss and Sugar Lips, although because really pretty, probably just wouldn't show up on my lips.

As you can see, it DOES give my lips colour and its quite a sweet, girly pink rather than a bright pink, almost coral colour that it looks in the pot. When the glossyness has gone the colour seems to stay and I actually don't mind reapplying it every few hours because it's not sticky or annoying, I don't even notice it's there but it instantly gives colour to my face without me having to worry about how dry my lips look! I love it and now want to own them all!

MUA nail varnish haul

MUA nail varnish shade 8, 3 and 23

I've wanted a red nail varnish for absolutely ages. I think red looks amazing on nails no matter whether it's summer or winter but I've just never got round to buying one so made sure I got one when I placed my order! I actually really like this red (shade 8). It's more of a wine red than a coral red and I can't wait to wear it. Shade 3 is a pinky purple colour and I really like the colour against my skin tone! It's very similar to the love hearts U R FAB nail varnish (see below) but £1 instead of £2 and there really is little difference. Annoyingly I actually already own this and hadn't realised even though I was actually wearing it when I ordered so now have two! (You would think it's common sense to check before you order!) Shade 23 is a really nice muted khaki green colour. I don't own anything like this and it's not something I'd usually go for but after seeing pictures of other people wearing it I just couldn't help myself! I love it!

MUA Love Hearts nail varnish in I <3 U and U R FAB

All of the love hearts nail varnishes are so cute, I wanted them all. They're quite feminine and sophisticated. I <3 U is a really nice peachy nude but being pale takes a few coats. U R FAB is very similar to the shade 3 nail varnish (above picture) which is a little annoying but this one is a bit more of a muted colour so I think I prefer it.

MUA Squiggle Effect Magnetic Nails - Mayfair

This is actually the only magnetic nail varnish I own which considering I have a crazy nail varnish obsession and magnetic ones have been around for ages is kind of stupid really! I just can't really be bothered to be hovering a magnet over my nails after I've spent forever painting them but I really liked this one so I'm just going to have to put up with the faffing that comes with it! It's a metallic blue colour and I prefer the squiggle effect to the circle effect ones that they do. The photo doesn't show up the magnetic effect too well, it looked better before it dried!

MUA nail varnishes are quite possibly my favourite. They're affordable with most being only £1, they have a massive range of colours and they last ages without chipping. I've had U R FAB on for almost a week now and it's only slightly chipped at the tips. They're definitely worth the small price tag! They have everything from fur effect nails to constellation nails. I already have a list of others that I want!!
