SEVENTEEN Nail Stash Collection // Leah'xo

Hey guys, I got this as an early Christmas present off my friend and knew I had to do a review on it.  It's the SEVENTEEN Nail Stash Collection. 

*babble alert*
This is a very good christmas idea because if they paint their nails alot or they don't have a specific type of colour they like then a set is for everybody. Personally I don't have a colour scheme I stick to on my nails it's whatever I feel like but I never not have them painted. Whereas my friend always goes for the dark burgandy, purple shades. So for her I usually just stick to a single bottle because she wouldn't wear half of the ones in a set -ANYWAY-

In this set there are nine mini bottles of nail varnish, 4 solid colours, 4 metallic colours and one glittery one. The colours are: (in order) Pink Lemonade, Caribbean Coral, Ruby Gem, Peacock, Fury, Moonstruck, Copper, Navy Glint and Nightshade. They are all stunning colours and go on very easily. They are mini bottles so the brush is smaller than what the full size one would be but it's more accurate. 
I wanted to get this up because they are on sale for £6.00 at Boots.com right now (originally £12.00) 

My favourite is the Peacock and Ruby Gem, The peacock reminds me of petrol. You know- when you see petrol spilt on the road and It looks like a rainbow type of pattern but the nail varnish is so much more vibrant! It has also a gold shimmer aspect to it so it beautiful when it catches the light😊. The ruby gem shade is a gorgeous burgundy shade. It is a solid coulour and spreads evenly. I painted my nails in the dark and in the morning they were a bit amateur looking but we're still very nice.
The only shade I am disappointed in is the pink lemonade shade it doesn't have much pigmentation but has the same great formula as the others! When I applied the first coat it looked like I had just applied clear nail varnish but I think it would be a really good French manicure colour!


I hope you get the chance to try these out! They are amazing...

Comparing myself to Zoe Sugg | Leah'xo

Hey guys, today I'm going to do something a little different. Compare myself to Zoe Sugg (Also known as Zoella on youtube and has a blog on this!) I know you have all clicked on this to see how big headed I can be but I'm comparing myself in a different way. In 2009 (I THINK?!) she wrote a blog post with questions and answers. I thought it would be fun to answer the same questions and compare. The questions will be in BLACK, Zoe's answers will be in purple and mine in red...


  • What’s your favourite eye shadow colour to wear?   
          Woodwinked (Golden/Brown)   Shimmery Neutral's
  • What’s the one product you wouldn’t leave your house without? 
Carmex (Looks like superglue and everyone freaks when i put it on my lips)    Carmax aswell. My lips are always chapped.
  • What’s your favourite makeup look ?
           Smokey Eye or...Bronzed       Simple and Matte
  • Which feature do you play up the most?  
           Um..My eyes probabaly         I don't really make anything dramatic, my lips maybe
  • Which feature do you try to downplay/cover up?
           My legs...haha is that allowed? I do hate my legs.     My eye's (BLOGPOST ABOUT IT)
  • Your favourite makeup brand, if you could pick only ONE to exist?
           MAC       MUA or Natural Collection... They are both the same really.
  • Which product have you re-purchased OVER and OVER again?  
          Lancome Hynose mascara (fab) & GOSH concealer in col. 2 (seriously guys... This stuff is a           miracle for dark circles, i would reccomend this a millions times over)     
          Natural Collection  pressed powder.
  • Which product would you NEVER repurchase again and why?  
            Hmm, this is hard, i always love everything i buy...i'd say Blistex instensive moisture                          lipsalve...it's milky white and horrible and doesnt do anything.  Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer.  Conce It didn't cover anything it just made me go a funny colour.
  • One beauty treatment you would always PAY to have done?
            Facial    I'd probably pay for my nails to be done with Shellac
  • One beauty treatment you would NEVER pay to have done?  
          Manicure/False nails..not because i hate them, but because my mum is a nail technician so i get get     them done for free. :D       I wouldn't EVER pay for a pedicure, I hate my feet being touched               and hate looking at feet. I'd rather just do them myself.
  • One beauty trick you can share with everyone?
        The Gosh concealer in no.2 haha. If you dont have this...you're missing out. I have tried almost almoevery concealer on the market, nothing compares to this beaut. It is a salmony colour, so covers cove the darkness, then if you are paler than most you can always put a lighter colour on top..             A     Asif... I was actually going to say the same one. I wasn't going to recommend The Gosh                  Concealer though. So yeah...
  • Best advice you've ever been given regarding beauty and makeup?  
         ALWAYS moisturize..especially under the eyes.     Always match your foundation and              and   concealer. Unless you are using it to highlight.



Thanks for watching guys. If you got this far make sure to comment 'OMG, CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KISSED HARRY STYLES' just to confuse people ;-) Love you guys and stayyy beautiful.

**Zoe's answers are 6 years out of date but I thought I would take them because she would of been a teenager and not as experienced as she is now!!**

Hey guys <3
 I am really stuck for idea's because I don't want to keep repeating the same stuff. ANY Idea's would be greatful and any things that could make my blog better.

I have started a twitter account if you want to contact me on that : @Beautybyleah
Please comment, or tweet me! I love to hear from you guys. Most of the time I ask but no-one replys which is quite sad but I know I am starting out - I appreciate EVERY VIEW I HAVE ON THIS BLOG; just interact with me and let me know you are reading. 

I have a few idea's in the pipe line; they are mostly inspired by youtuber's idea's.
  • Beauty Bucket List ; I give a list of 5 things EVERY month I want to try and I update you everytime I try it out. This is another thing I would love for all of you to get involved. Tweet me your pictures with the designated hashtag I will provide :D This is inspired by EleventhGorgeous
  •  Regular Hauls and reviews. I usually buy new beauty products every two weeks. Sometimes loads, sometimes a few things. Would any of you like to see what I get and what I think? Inspired by nearly every beauty guru :)
 Love all of you guys - much love
