Hello lovelies,

I've just realised I've had swatches of this beautiful Bad Apple polish and I haven't published it! So today it will be all about Bad Apple 3D Arkansas and of course about the big Hobby Polish Bloggers Winter Giveaway that I'm part of!

Bad Apple 3D Arkansas is a blue duochrome with a shift to dark blue and purple. In its lightest it almost looks like turquoise, it's very beautiful! I've applied one coat over China Glaze Tongue & Chic which is dark emerald/teal shimmer.

The formula was easy to apply but not very pigmented. I would need three coats for full coverage so I've layered it over darker nail polish. Dark or black polish makes the duochrome effect to stand out much more and you'll need just one coat of 3D Arkansas. It dried fast and glossy but I still applied topcoat. Overall, it's a very pretty polish that I enjoyed wearing and I caught myself looking at my nails all the time :)

You can purchase Bad Apple polishes directly at the Bad Apple Cosmetics website for £6.95 each. They also sell nail wraps so if you're into them check them out too!

Hello lovelies,

Are you ready for some purplelicious nails? I've done another mix & match design but this time I've used only purple and white shades.

I've used Morgan Taylor Berry Contrary, Barry M Blackberry, China Glaze Sweet Hook, OPI Alpine Snow, dotting tool make up sponge and nail art brushes.

The necklace I'm wearing has been sent to me from MyNameNecklace.co.uk for a feature which I'm doing happily as it is very beautiful thing to wear (and I do wear it right now :). The necklace is called Initial Infinity Necklace and is made of sterling silver and has a small pearl and a circle charm with the initial "L" on it. Yuu can of course choose your own initial or entirely different necklace, perhaps your name.

The necklace comes in a cute white box with a pink bow and MyNameNecklace logo on it. It was made and shipped from Israel which surprised me a bit because the website has .co.uk in it and I think I should mention it.

I was generously offered a 10% discount for my readers, just use code LUCY.

I really like how the manicure came out, especially the floral design and the polka dot on gradient on the thumb. Did you like it?
