Brown Nails: M&S - Golden Sands

Hello you guys!! I hope you're enjoying this nice day. I know I've been away for a while but this has been a recurring theme this year. Exams are becoming very real very quickly, the backlog is also real but I hope I can catch up once all the exam madness is over. I can't wait cause these exams have kind of been the focus of my life for this year and I miss the blog. I miss painting, summer and chilling cannot come coon enough. Today I have a nice brown-ish polish to show you. It's my last M&S polish to show!! I had 12 and it only took me um a year or so to get them all up. Brown isn't really my colour but this is is genuinely super pretty!!

I know this is called Golden Sands I think it's much more of a shimmery brown than gold. So Golden Sands is a brown foil-y shimmer and it totally glows. I like that it has an orange tone to it, it brings the polish to life :P Honestly I think this polish is real nice and I did nail art on top and I loved that look, that'll go up soon (soon being a relative word).

M&S food is amazing, I love from there. Just saying M&S prawn crackers are some of the most addictive things, Chinese New Year was good. But yes I do wonder into their polish aisles and they've got a really good range of cremes, like they've got everything and I think their pricing is good. Just nothing that makes me need to run in and buy polish, but maybe now that I've swatched all my Marks and Spencer's polishes I'll try some more.

It may seem that the polish doesn't completely cover in the photos but it was fine in real life. I used 3 coats and it built really well. The formula is pretty thin so it dries fast so adding more coats wasn't an issue.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a nice day!! :)

Gold Nails: w7 - Golden Sands

Hey there guys!! Yep it's um been a while, I'll probably explain why in later posts (might uh take a while for them to go up) but you know blogging takes the backseat. Happy St. Patrick's Day!! It's a legitimate thing here, people wearing green and stuff. I kind of forgot, but I hope you're appropriately celebrating. I'm celebrating by not being productive lol, oh wait that's everyday :P I think the gold nails are just about appropriate cause pots of gold and stuff (not like I have this on right now, but I do have green nails, the backlog is so real right now).

Golden Sands is a shimmery gold creme, it's a more dull gold, like more grey-toned as opposed to yellow. Like it leaves faint brushstrokes but they're not prominent at all. I do like this gold it's a funky one.

I'm not sure how great gold goes on me but I liked wearing this. Once again w7 is a great brand at such a good price and should be snapped up with spotted in TK Maxx.

The formula is really good, I used 2-3 coats for this swatch and it covered really well. Applied really easily too, maybe on the thick side but nothing you can't easily ignore.

I hope you have a great day and thank you for reading!! :)
