Nails of the day - MAVALA 72 NICE


I adore this shade it is intense red creamy color with a hint of orange. What i hate about MAVALA polishes is the fact that  they chip on the next day after application. Also they are not compatible with some base coats. For example after applying this on top of Kiss - Ultra fast growth (growth activator) it was still wet after 2 hours. This time i used ORLY BONDER undetneath and it dried pretty fast. So will see how long it will hold on my nails without chips.

NYX soft matte lip cream review and swatches

Hi gorgeous!
This is my first entry and today i gonna review NYX soft matte lip creams :)
What NYX says about this product: Neither lipstick nor lip gloss—this is matte lip cream. A new kind of pout paint that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing. Available in 11 lip colors.

I bought these from beautyjoint.com these are $4.50 each and hold 6.5g of product. It is a very interesting product. Goes on really smothly and leaves my lips mousturised. It is very hard to choose colors from NYX website swatches, because they are totally different! I`ve got (from left to right) 05 Antwerp, 08 San Paulo and 01 Amsterdam.
Here are the swatches unblended:
and blended:
I preffer lip brush to apply these lip creams as using lip brush they stay longer on the lips and also look better (to my mind). I don`t like how red color (Amsterdam) fades, as it come into little folds and look creepy :) As these lipsticks are matte tehay beacome very wearable for everyone. If you want to try wearing red lipstick better start with matte one as it will nt look such dramatic as glossy ones.
