Review: Astor Fashion Studio Nail Polish

So as many of you may know I have recently bought some new  makeup/nail products as I mentioned in my Mini Makeup Haul post. Today I will be reviewing my new Astor Fashion Studio nail polish. To be more specific, the Changing Metal Effect nail polish in the colour 260 Sophisticated Gold.

 

This nail polish was a gift from a friend who recently returned from a trip to Europe. I wasn’t really sure about the colour of this polish but I really like it now, especially the pearlescent look of it.

 

The nail polish lasts quite a while and it drys quickly. As you can see from the two pictures above, you don’t even need two coats to get a nice colour on you nails. If you want a more concentrated colour than I would definitely suggest applying two coats. It all depends on the tone of colour you want to get out of this cool nail polish.

As I mentioned before this nail polish was one of the presents a friend got for me, so I don’t know the exact price. However, I have done a little research online and I estimate that it was between $1-2.

Until next time,                                                                                               -Caitlyn

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag

Lately I have been looking for some fun tags to do on my blog. One thing I noticed is that a lot of those tags get passed around by one person tagging another person. Well obviously I was not tagged in those, and I clearly don’t want to ruin the spirit of those tags by posting one without being tagged. (Confusing sentence!)

Anyways, I stumbled upon one tag that, it seems, anyone can do. Although I am not exactly a beauty blogger, my blog will have more beauty posts in the future. After all, I am a new blogger (I only started at the beginning of September. So now, let’s get down to business. I found this tag on http://www.beautybroadcast.net/ . Here goes nothing!

 

1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do?

I rarely use a base coat before I apply nail polish. Mainly because I always forget. 🙂

 

2. Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly?

Oh, well this is awkward. The answer is no. I don’t. I don’t always use a makeup brush as I don’t put any powders on my face.

 

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

I don’t even last 1 minute with chipped nails. I become obsessive and chip away all the nail polish on my nails. 😛

 

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it?

If I really need it, I buy the product as soon as I can, after finding out that it has run out! If I don’t need it that badly, then I put off replacing that beauty product for maybe a few days to a week.

 

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

Not being able to keep my nails long. No, I don’t bite my nails, for those of you wondering, but I just can’t manage to keep myself from breaking them. I don’t know if breaking them is the right word or not but that’s how it is.

 

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?

I always put off doing my laundry 😦

 

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute?

No! I start getting ready at least one hour prior to heading out. And of course I get obsessive sometimes and instead of one hour it becomes 1 hour and 30 minutes.

 

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

Sometimes. Only when I am tired of shopping. Which doesn’t happen too often. 😉

 

9. How organized are your make-up and nail polish collections?

Extremely organized! I end up re-organizing my collections again and again just for the hell of it!

 

I know the answers are really short, but that’s all for now. If there are any tags (they don’t necessarily have to be about beauty) that you would like to me to do, then let me know in the comment section below, and if you aren’t already, make sure to follow my blog.
