NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms

I don't really own any NYC makeup, this one was kinda my first. I got two lip balms because well, I love my lip balms and these looked so appealing. They have tiny little apples in the middle that just make the tubes look pretty. It's not the best lip balm I tried though, it's not glossy as it says it is, it does have a sparkle to it but it's not what I expected and it needs a lot of re-applying.  On the other hand I love the way they smell (of apples obviously), so re-applying is not too bad. I absolutely love this kind of smell of apples, it's so nice. It's not as moisturizing as any other lip balm I tried unfortunately, so I don't think I'll be using it often. But I will definitely keep smelling them, as I do. I'm a little weird when it comes to nice scents. Maybe they will work better in the summer, I hope so at least.

Nail art

I used to be absolutely obsessed with nail art, I would sit and paint my nails for hours and hours every day at times. Then it started wearing off a little and I turned to other things, but now I'm thinking of going back to it. I've been looking through my old Facebook pictures and picked my favourite nail art ideas I've done so far. I will try and list the nail polish I used, hopefully I still have them somewhere in my drawers. Some nail polishes don't have names, and some names faded but I'll do my best. Hope it's going to give you some ideas too.
