my name is valerie, and i am a nail polish addict

how many is too many? is there an answer to this, i dont know where my obsession with nail polish came from, but it has escalated in the last couple months, i have one other box the same size as this one filled with my random polishes, and then two other boxes filled with tools such as my nail art pens, dotting tools, cuticle stuff,files and nail cutters. Im going to take a break, no more nail stuff for a while....

collection 2000 cream puffs

 cotton candy on the lips in this pic,   

                                                          with l.a colours  pinky lipliner

 Collection 2000 says velvety soft,matt finish lip cream

cotton candy (pink) and fairy cake (coral)

I used cotton candy in my last F.O.T.D and got many compliments on how good it looked, the product is very pigmented considering it isn't a lipstick but a cream, I was thinking they would be similar to the sleek pout pots which only give a wash of colour, but was pleasantly surprised to discover differently.
This product comes in a range of 4 colours, 2 nude brown shades( I don't own them yet), and the 2 I own are fairy cake and cotton candy, they have a slight vanilla scent, and apply quite smoothly quite wet at first before drying completely matt.I do highly recommend priming your lips with carmex/vaseline/whichever lip primer you use as it is a matt product and therefore will make it very visible if your lips are dry and chapped. I also would recommend using a lipliner (I use l.a colours in pinky for both) to lengthen the longevity of the cremes, though having said that they even fade nicely, adding a wash of colour on the lips, similar to a lip stain, but all in all I love them and would rate them 4/5 only because I would like to see more colours, like maybe a pale lilac, and a bright red would be a nice addition to the range. I will be going back for the nude colours next week, plus at the moment superdrug has an offer for 2 for £4.99 which is an added bonus and if you fill out the survey beforehand you get an extra 25% off, (minimum spend is £10 tho)

Hope you enjoy my first review, any questions don't hesitate to ask, take care,
