NOTD Models Own Deep Purple and Nyla Nude

Morning lovelies, hope your Monday morning is not too bad!


Today I bring you some polishes that I bought during the Models Own 50% sale and just haven't used yet!
Models Own Deep Purple and Nyla Nude:

I decided to use these two together as I wanted a contrasting colour on my ring finger. 


Deep purple is a blackened purple which transforms under different lighting. It can look almost navy and even black in some places.


Nyla nude really is what it says, a butterscotch nude. For me this is too dark for my skin tone and I found it quite boring! 


The Deep Purple has a smooth metallic finish to it which needed 2 coats to become opaque. Nyla nude was a thicker crème polish which was a struggle to get right, even on one nail! It bubbled and streaked no matter what I did! 


The wear on these havent been great, there was a lot of tip wear after two days and on day three the purple just gave up and started to peel off my thumbs, but this might be as my base coat is getting a bit old now! 


Really Deep purple is a better polish for me and I think I will be parting ways with Nyla Nude at some point :(


What do you think, have you tried these colours?

Soap and Glory Some Like it Hot Thermal Scrub

Afternoon lovelies, I hope your all safe and warm ready to watch some fireworks!


Like most girls I have a lot of different products in my bathroom, i haven't bought any new shower gel since last Christmas!


Going through my stash I found my tube of Soap and Glory
Thermal body scrub called Some Like It Hot. I like the idea that for winter I can have a scrub that heats up on my skin so I know it's really working!



You have to shake the bottle as the mixture does separate, but what you get is a baby pink cream with blue exfoliating particles. It's quite a chunky scrub, and so best to not use it every day as it can be quite sharp!


The moment you put onto your skin you can feel it heat up, this let's you know that the product is working! When the product starts to cool,most of the exfoliating particles have gone and you are left with a nice moisturiser!


This is the first thermal scrub I've tried but it's nice to use on a cold evening! The smell is a gorgeous vanilla, which is quite a light fragrance that just lingers for a few hours!


So here it is, Some Like it Hot Thermal Body Scrub, it's lovely! For £7.92 you get 200ml, and a little goes a long way. Currently on 3 for 2 at Boots.


What do you think, have you tried this before?


Thanks for reading xx
