Today I'm breaking from my normal nail polish post to bring you a new makeup kit from One Direction. There is a nail polish in the kit so I'm not straying too much.

I decided to go with a simple but still pushing my comfort zone look. I'm not normally a blue eyeshadow type of girl and that lipstick was a bit bright for me personally.
See what I mean about the lipstick. Very bright and could be fun for the right occasion. And I have a feeling it is perfect for the One Direction fan demographic or someone with the confidence to pull it off.
The eyeshadow applied nicely and blended really well. I like that fact that I wasn't left with bright blue eyeshadow that I may have shamelessly rocked back in the '80s. Think Mimi from the Drew Carey Show.

There is a sophistication to this kit that takes it from '80s wow to appropriate to now. Even with lining the bottom of my eye with blue I still felt like it was a look I could wear out.
And this make-up has staying power right down to that bright pink lip. I applied this look when I first woke and it was still going strong at dinner time lips and all.
The nail polish that came in the kit is called Na Na Na and is a nice shimmery aqua that shifts to turquoise. The application was smooth but the polish is really sheer. I used 4 coats and you can still see some thinner patches. I do love the color and will probably wear this again, but I'll be using undies for sure.

Overall I think the quality of this kit is right up there with the big name brands. It's not colors that I would normally choose for myself, but I do like the way adding the blue under my eyes make their blue color really pop. I would have missed out on that if I hadn't been given this opportunity. My only real complaint is that the product is hard to remove from the packaging. I think it took me 2 minutes to get the mascara out and I seriously thought I was going to break a nail.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
