Black Books!

You are probably reading this, because you know my geeky self, and you have an idea what I’m about to talk about.

Second clue would be… Bill Bailey!

I suppose if you are still reading this, you are either aware of what I am talking about (fingers crossed), or otherwise you must be a curious cat. If you are the latter, Black Books is a British sitcom featuring Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran and Tamsin Greig. It is all filmed within a bookshop and it is hilarious.

During my visit to London in July, I made my way to Black Books of course… I was staying in a hotel within 5 minutes walking distance, so I could not miss out the opportunity.

Needless to say, I was delighted I finally made it:

Some book that really caught my eye in the book shop display 🙂 steffisays-blackbooks-fandom-caught my eye

Review of Manic Panic Nail Varnish

Today, I will review 3 nail varnish products made by Manic Panic. The names are:

  • Manic Panic Claw Colour Electric Lava
  • Manic Panic Claw Colour Electric Banana
  • Manic Panic Hardcore Nail Polish Top Coat

The top two colours, are not usually colours I would wear, but they were on sale and I thought it would be fun to try something new, and so bright in colour. Since I mostly wear black clothes, this would add some contrast.

20150522_201624Although I have bought these a while ago, I have not used them too frequently. The colours are shockingly bright and so I allow a couple of weeks before I use them again. The top coat however, I’ve used multiple of times as it’s good. You can tell that I’ve used it more often as it print on the nail varnish is wearing off.

I think that the colours are gorgeous, it covers the nail easily as it is not watery, but actually creamy. I prefer to put two layers when I use these, especially the yellow nail polish, but if you want a more subtle shade, stick with one layer.

I would recommend getting these colours, and if I had to buy them again I would.
