Groovy Grey Nails from Gosh NOTD

.
Last Saturday was pretty surreal. I remember it like it was ... well last week actually. I started off the day with my electricity company telling me I was in credit for a change, Tesco Express had just opened its doors in my little town, I was donated the much lusted after Golden Dragon from Gosh and and and and my friend bought for herself 'Groovy Grey' from Gosh which I was able to play with.






Now I knew I had to expect amazingness from this polish but I didn't expect I was going to be so blown away. All the photos you see are in one coat of polish. Yes, that's right just one quick coat gave me this stunning shade of grey. Application as with all the shades I tried from Gosh, (apart from the unique holographic) was a dream.


However, whilst one coat didn’t leave any patchiness and covered perfectly my nail line, I would recommend you to apply 2 coats unless your nails are perfectly ridge free and that you’re never going to do any housework.





If Lavender Love, Misty Mauve and Neon Baby, from the same limited edition collection apply opaquely and smoothly like Groovy Grey, boy you're in for a ride, a very happy one.





I leave you a with a little comparison: my latest favourite nail polish, Elf Desert Haze and Groovy Grey. Which colour do I prefer? Desert Haze, but its tedious and lengthy application in comparison will always make me choose Groovy Grey without hesitation.




Whatever you do this week end, include a little visit to Superdrug and grab your groovy grey, while the 3 for 2 for offer. You need it in your life, and preferably before the greedy gits sell it on eBay at 3 times its recommended retail price.

Lusting over Spring Offerings from Gosh

Gosh Cosmetics has decided to celebrate Spring with a bang and has released lots of funky new products. A new foundation primer (now cream instead of a yukkygreasy gel) a cute brow kit, lip marker pens, mono eyeshadows, limited editi0ns nail polishes, and last but not least a range of long lasting eyeliners. As if this was not good news enough, Gosh is on 3 for 2 at the moment, so there could not be a better time to pop down to your local Superdrug and sample/get some Gosh.


I am personally on a forced 'stop buying everything that you see' ban at moment and until further notice but that doesn't mean I can't lust and blog about it, right?

Feast your eyes on these new limited edition nail polishes. I absolutely love the design on the bottle and the colours of course. If money was not so tight at the moment, I would have definitely indulged and got home with 'groovy grey'. Misty Mauve is good idea, but I am wondering if it's just your average lilac, and if it's too clean and not greyish enough to tempt me. All these are priced at £4.99. They also released a matte top coat (Matt 604 - non photographed) but my Superdrug had none of them in stock.  


 

I wanted to show you quick swatches of the brand new mono shadows Gosh has released here. The colours seem to be a bit more pigmented than your average trio from Gosh but I am not too blown away. From what I gathered these shades just have boring numbers for names (from 001 to 008). My favourites are the lime green (001) the golden brown (003) and the golden peach (007)







And last but not least, and my favourite from all the gosh new releases, these new "Super long wear long lasting eyeliners" priced at £5.99. They feel a bit runny on application, but once they're on, they're on and they don't budge. The colours are great despite once again, very unimaginative names and the applicator nib makes the application like an easy walk in the park .

If you are a fan of the Gosh extreme art liner already, you'll definitely want to try those and you’ll probably like these better, precisely because of the great pointy nib, rather than the brush of the art liners.  (Man, how bad was the English of that sentence, I hope you understand what I mean) x






Some selected swatches for you:
From left to right: the green, turquoise, brown and grey, photographed in natural daylight.






I could have seen myself going home with these four amazing shades but if I had to pick just one, it would have been the turquoise, which a is a lovely mix of turquoise and hints of copper running through it. Here you see it in mid afternoon light, in the shade, without flash.





Any of these new products from Gosh tempt you? I am very curious to try the new cream face primer. I really really disliked their existing primer, it felt so greasy!
