Natural Collection Nail Polish Review

Hey guys, today I'm reviewing the Natural Collection nail polish in the colour Praline. I already did a NOTD blog post where I said that I wasn't sure about the colour. As I said in that post, it just reminds me of a old lady's nail polish, like something the old Rose in Titanic would wear. Since then I wore it for a couple of days to try to get used to it and to test out it's quality. The good news is that I've slightly gotten used to the colour and I don't wince when I see it on the end of my fingers anymore. My mind isn't 100% changed yet but there is progress. For just colour alone, I'd say that even though i'm not crazy about it that I probably would wear this colour every now an again to use to nail polish up; I don't dislike it so much that I wouldn't wear it. I think that if this was a matte nail polish and not a satin finish one that I would actually really like the colour but it just doesn't look they way I would have thought it would when it's on my nails. Now that my colour rant is over, let's talk about quality.

When I first tried this nail polish I didn't think it was anything special but when I compared it to other nail polishes of the same/similar price (€2.49), I realised that it lasts a couple of days longer without chipping. The Essence and Catrice nail polish seem to barely last a few hours on my nails without getting extremely chipped but this nail varnish lasted about 2 or 3 days without chipping. When it did chip, it wasn't very noticeable, it was just barely at the tips of the nails. I went about 4 or 5 days without having the repaint them which is pretty good going for a nail polish that's only €2.49. I think for the price it's a pretty great nail polish and I might buy some more colours of it that I like a bit better.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Have you ever tried out this brand? Let me know what you thought of their products in the comment section below. Also, let me know what it your favourite cheap nail polish because I would love to find out. Talk to you soon.

Natural Collection Concealer Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Natural Collection Concealer which is only €2.49. I picked this up in my Boot's haul a few months ago and wasn't expecting anything special. To my surprise it is actually pretty good. It's one of the top two concealers that I always reach for lately, the other one being the Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer. They both have the same type of application, a stick with an applicator at the end that reaches far into the tube to get a lot of product. 

What I like about this concealer is that it is creamy enough to be blended well but it also has quite a good staying power and doesn't just wipe completely off your face as your are applying it. It drys quite fast so you need to blend it pretty fast but you have enough time to do it, just don't leave it a minute before blending it out. 

One thing that I don't really like about the product is that it doesn't smell very good. It has kind of a strong smell like nail polish or something like that but you don't smell it once the concealer has been applied. It's more when you first open it that you can smell it quite strongly. The pictures below are my before and after results.

Overall I really like this product. It's great value for money and it works really well. The smell isn't that great but you would get over it for the price. If you are interested, you can get this concealer in any Boots store. Have you ever tried this concealer before? Let me know in the comments what you thought of it or what your favorite concealer is right now if you have never used this one.
