Hello lovelies,

 

How are you all? Sorry I've been so quiet lately, the wedding preparations combined with my lack of motivation lately caused me to slack with posting. I feel bad about it but I guess after 5 years of full on, almost every day blogging finally took its toll. Maybe that's why today's nail art isn't exactly amazing but it's still good enough to show it to you :)

 

For today I have prepared a review of five Bundle Monster Polynesia Stamping Plates and I've done a stamped nail art of course! So let's start with the nail art...

I have started with a coat of Dance Legend As You Wish (reviewed here). Then I've used the dry brush technique to apply Dance Legend aquarelle polishes Levitan, Tiziano, Picasso, Rafael, Dali, Sisley. This wasn't enough for me so I stamped over the colourful background with white Essence stamping polish and a floral design from Bundle Monster Polynesia plate BM-XL108.

 

The stamping plate comes from the new Bundle Monster Polynesia series that has 4 sets with 5 plates each (so 20 new plates). I have the Land Of Aloha set. So far I have tried few designs from different plates and all stamped without a hitch. Each plate also has hard plastic backing which I always like to see because it reduces chances of sharp edges. Some of the designs don't have the thinnest lines that I don't know if that was intent or not. Either way, the quality is good and for the price of just under $4 per plate it's a great value.

How I wish I could just snap my fingers and be in Hawaii! These Polynesian plates certainly entice me :) I also really enjoyed testing the Dance Legend polishes from the Aquarelle collection - tinted polishes great for leadlighting technique. They are less pigmented that the new Formula X and OPI polishes so they layer better.

 

What do you think of this colourful design and fun Polynesian plates?

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

Hope you're all well! I have a queue of polishes that I want to show you and today it's another Lynnderella glitter bomb. It's called Five Golden Rings and it's very sparkly, festive and beautiful. I probably should've post this little bit closer to Christmas but it is nice for any time of the year.

 

Five Golden Rings - gold fine glitter mixed with square and round gold holographic glitter. I have applied one coat of Five Golden Rings over Zoya Willa because this glitter is not too dense and it's therefore better for layering. I did however tested it by itself on my thumb and three thicker coats were more or less opaque. It applied well and dried fast but uneven so thicker topcoat is a must.
