Today on Bee Loves Beauty, my lovely guest blogger Lana is back with a review of a re-released cult nail polish: Gosh’s Holographic Hero Until recently I hadn’t been so savvy when it came to trends and in particular nail trends, until I got my recently acquired media technician job at the University of Chichester I didn’t really have much cause to paint my nails. My old job in retail involved a lot of handling and breaking down of boxes and tape, scraping of money of counters and other non nail friendly tasks that were not so conducive to keeping wonderfully manicured nails. Needless to say I was very behind on catching on to last year’s trend in Holographics and only heard about this beauty, GOSH holographic 549 after it was long discontinued and selling on ebay for £30 a time! Realistically, this is not a price I was willing to…

Nails of the Now: Gosh 550 Purple Heart

One of the first guest posts on this site was a super enthusiastic recommendation from Lana of Gosh’s Purple Heart Nail Varnish. Given her wonderful description and the fact that it is really hard to photograph, I really had to try this for myself! Lana said… In it’s bottle it’s a beautiful mystical myriad of purples, golds and greens, it does in fact look like someone melted down a bunch of magpie tail feathers and bottled it. It is just so vibrant, I could spend hours just staring at the bottle alone! In action it’s a tiny bit more subtle, most of the time you will have a perfectly ordinary looking violet until the light hits it just right and you get a fabulous bottle green with a hint of gold at the edges, the more coats you apply the more this effect will show. I have to agree! It’s…

Guest Post: Lana Loves Gosh Purple Heart!

For my second ever guest post, the lovely Lana shares her love of her ultimate nail polish discovery…   I’ve always been a magpie at heart, I’m a real sucker for anything shiny. If it’s glittery, irridescent and catches the light in a certain way I’m all over it, and since I was about 13 I’ve always wanted a nail polish with an oil slick sheen to it. There’s something about that kind of sheen that just appeals to my magpie heart, it’s sultry and beautiful. Sadly I’ve spent many years being decieved by the way pigments look compressed in their bottles and the end finish has never been how I wanted it until I stumbled across 055 Purple Heart by GOSH cosmetics. I had almost given up hope and didn’t expect much from it, but at £4.99 I didn’t think I had anything to lose and boy, it didn’t…

Red or Undead – Red Eyeshadow Action

red not dead 067

So there has been some discussion earlier of the fundamental question of life, the universe and everything (I kid) which is “Does red eyeshadow make me look like I’ve been up all night smoking crack?” My position in this proto-debate is that it doesn’t. I think it looks cool. Edgy – not really for work or the supermarket, but not brain-hungry zombie material. I also think it has a bit of a fearsome reputation which puts people off trying it, and I’m a big fan of the trying of things.   When I say that it “doesn’t” make me look like  zombie, I should probably qualify that statement with “doesn’t always” or maybe “doesn’t have to” . The problem with red and eyes is that the eye area is red when it is unhappy, unhealthy, or addicted to eating brainsss to survive. So if you apply red colour to this…

Gosh, pink IS the new goth!

Do you think pink is a gothy colour for eyes? As an ex- teenage officionado of all things black, velvet, lace and spooky, I know the feeling of getting my goth on in my very spooky bones. Whenever I see myself with pink eyeshadow and black eyeliner, I hear The Sisters of Mercy start up Temple of Love and catch a tantalising whiff of cider and blackcurrant… I’m frowning because of the darkness in my soul I accept that it’s not wildly gothy, it’s not classically gothy, but I guess it’s my interpretation of the velvet jacket and New Rock boots which still dress my soul, if not my body… I think I feel this way about pink as the classic goth eyeshadow shades of purple, lilac and perhaps dark blue, just don’t work on me. My eyes are too deep, shadowed and (coff) small to carry off the dramatically sexy…
