Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you an absolutely gorgeous shade from piCture pOlish - Ornate. It's another one in a row of collaboration shades with bloggers and this creation comes from A Lacquered Affair.

I couldn't help myself and I paired this polish with some flowers again. I love photos with flowers, they make them look so much more special!

Ornate* is muted medium purple creme filled with bijou holo particles and gold and pink hex glitters. Ornate looks like a very 'busy' polish in the bottle but once it's on the nails it all matches together and it looks rich and luxurious. The formula was easy to apply and fully opaque in two coats. It dried fast but slightly gritty due to the glitter in the polish. I would recommend using thicker topcoat like Seche Vite or some gel finish topcoat.

What a stunning and original colour! I don't have any other like this in my nail polish collection so thank you piCture pOlish for letting me review this beauty!

The Rose Gold rings I'm wearing are from So Nailicious Boutique and I won them in a giveaway a while back. They are still available if you want to buy them. I'd also like to mention that by buying from small shops like these you support small businesses, families and also fellow bloggers and that's always better than supporting corporations, right? In no way I am sponsored or affiliated with So Nailicious Boutique other than winning one of their giveaways and purchasing from them in the past.

Hope you've enjoyed the post and photos and will let me know how you like piCture pOlish Ornate ;) Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

It's that time of the month again when I'm joining Paint All The Nails group of bloggers to do a nail art challenge. This month's theme is dry brush...easy peasy! Dry brush is a very simple and begginer technique where by removing almost all the polish from the brush you can create a distressed or brush-stroke look. It does not require any special tools and it is incredibly easy and versatile, you only need a nail polish brush.

I've decided to do my manicure using polishes from the A England To Emily Bronte collection. I've used Cathy as a base, then did the dry brush technique with Wuthering Heights, Spirit Of The Moors and Let Me In. I finished up with a coat of my trusty Seche Vite topcoat and few metal studs.

There's not really much more to say except thank you for visiting and don't forget to check out dry brush manicures from all these awesome ladies:
