Express Nail Polish Remover by CF Beauty Cosmetics - Product Review

I've got a slightly different post for you to day than what's usual around here.

I bring you a review, but not nail polish related. Well, it is nail polish related, only it's a nail polish remover.

A while ago, I was sent for review this Express Nail Polish Remover by  CF Beauty Cosmetics.

The product is acetone, parabens and sulfates free and has a sponge inside the container soaked in remover, so you won't need any cotton pads.

Color Block Spring Nails

I love colour block nails - they're easy to do, not very time consuming and they look great- the perfect look for the modern woman, with oh-so-much-to-do-but-I-still-want-to-look-fabulous :)

So, that's what I have to show you today:

And if I may say so myself, after yesterday's mani fail, these look pretty awesome.

Love the colours, the execution, the whole thing - how very modest of me, I know :)

Colourful Geometric Squares Nail Art with CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review

Today's the day I bring you the last polish from CF Beauty Cosmetics 2015 Spring/Summer edition.

You can see all previous swatches HERE as well as what nail art looks I did with each - it's surely been a fun ride :)

As for today's nails, I've got a swatch of CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº9 Flashbulb Grey to show you:

 Flashbulb Grey is a lovely silver shade, with a metallic finish to it. Rather than have a mirror like effect, this beauty has a luminous effect - can you see all the light that reflect off of it? Gorgeous!

I'm using two coats in this picture and no topcoat - you can see the end finish is somewhat matte, so you'll want a topcoat with this one.

 

Sunset Nails with CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review

I'm so excited about today's nails! I'm bringing you what's probably my favourite nail art of the week so far :)

I've been reviewing nail polishes sent to me for review by CF Beauty Cosmetics (you can see previous posts HERE) from their 2015 Spring/Summer edition.
 
And today I've got to show you a swatch of the gorgeous CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº6 Sunset in Portugal:

Sunset in Portugal has got THE most perfect name ever! It's orangey, warm tone is exactly what a Summer sunset feels here in Portugal. They totally nailed it!

Application was pretty smooth with this one and the drying time was fabulously fast.

You're seeing three coats - I still had some bald patches after the second coat and had to go for a third.

Starry Summer Nights Nail Art with CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review

My oh my, do I have a beautiful shade to show you today!! CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº2 Ocean Breeze is quite magical actually!

This one's again part of the 2015 Spring/Summer edition that I was sent for review by CF Beauty Cosmetics (check previous posts on this collection HERE).

Let's see what I'm on about then:

Ocean Breeze is a translucent kind of nail polish, with a metallic-y/pearly finish.

The only downside to its beauty is the amount of coats you'll need to make it look semi opaque - you can still see a nail line on my nails even though I applied four coats.

It's the only thing that'll make me think twice when reaching for it.

However, I'll say coats dry fast and the brush strokes aren't that visible considering the type of finish on this polish.

Cute White Daisies and Red Nails with CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review

I started I'd start the working week in style and hit it off with some red nails.

I received some really beautiful nail polishes for review by CF Beauty Cosmetics and you can check which ones I've swatched HERE.

Let's show you today's beauty then:

Today's nail art features CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº 4 Queen of Hearts.
The name fits like a glove. This gorgeous, vibrant red applies smoothly in two easy coats and has a lovely shine of its own.
And like mother says, nothing beats red nails - do you agree with that, too?

Mandala Nail Art with CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review

I got to know CF Beauty Cosmetics last month, when Cláudia, the brand's creator, contacted me to swatch and review some of the 2015 Spring/Summer edition polishes.

If you want to see what other shades I've swatched already click HERE. 

I specially liked that the polishes were 4-Free and the brush size was awesome for a mini.

Cláudia was kind enough to send me the rest of the shades in the collection (it feels great to see your work appreciated - thank you, Cláudia) and I'll be swatching them throughout this week, with matching nail art, so stay tuned ;)



I'm starting the week with CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº7 Golden Sands:

Golden Sands is a lovely pearly/shimmery polish. 

If it weren't for such a finish, it could easily pass off as a nude shade. 

It's quite on the sheer side for me, so I applied three coats so I wouldn't have a nail line showing.

You can, however, wear it lightly on your nails, if you want nothing but a slight shine to them.

There were hardly any brush strokes visibly, but I do advise using a top coat in the end for maximum shine.

CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review (Part 2)

 I do know this one comes in quite late (it was promised to go up on Saturday) but I had a crazy busy weekend - details to be revealed soon! :)

Without any further delay, let's show you the other two shades in the 2015 Spring/Summer collection by  CF Beauty Cosmetics - if you haven't seen Part 1 of this post click HERE to see it now.

Behold the beauty that is CF Beauty Cosmetics By The Sea.

It's a nice blue shade and even better it won't stain your nails (I guess the nitrocellulose compost on their formula does work).

CF Beauty Cosmetics - Swatch & Review (Part 1)

A couple days ago I was contacted by Cláudia on behalf of her very own new cosmetics and beauty line: CF Beauty Cosmetics.

She has launched her first nail polish collection for a 2015 Spring/Summer edition and the colours are all gorgeous to look at.

I was quite happy to swatch and review some polishes she sent me. I'll be showing you two today and two more tomorrow ;)

Let's start off with CF Beauty Cosmetics Nº3 Portuguese Breakfast.

I don't much get the name but I'm too mesmerized by the colour and formula quality to bother ;)
