Hello lovelies,

 

this is my only post for this weekend because guess what - I'll be spending whole Sunday at Olympia Beauty exhibition in London! I'll take some pictures for you but I won't be taking my big camera, so phone pictures will have to do. Back to today's nail art though...

 

I've combined three shades from the new Models Own Diamond Luxe collection (reviewed here) into kind of Art Deco looking design. You could have seen similar design from bloggers like The Nailasaurus or So Nailicious. I've used striping tape to create it and small brush to paint in the different parts.

The polishes I've used are Princess Pink, Oval Plum and Marquise Maroon. All available from Models Own website and their Bottle Shop in London.

 

I'm also wearing a beautiful midi ring by Astrid & Miyu in the pictures. It's called Gold Crystal Floating Heart Midi Ring and it is the perfect companion to my design! It has tiny sparkly crystals in it as well.

 

That's all from me today, have a lovely weekend everyone and stay tuned for next post on Monday!  Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

I think it's time for nail polish from some Halloween collection. Today I have here China Glaze Love Your Guts from Apocalypse of Color 2014 collection. The collection consists of six polishes - 5 new shades and one reoccurring one, Ghoulish Glow.

 

Love Your Guts - rose pink base with black glitter and textured finish. It reminds me of an inside of a watermelon :) I'm not sure if this polish was meant to be a texture but it does look like it. The polish has great pigmentation so two coats were enough for full coverage. On the other hand the formula was tricky to apply as the polish is quite thick and dries fast. I've had to work very fast to avoid patches. As I said, it dried into a nice matte textured finish but I reckon one thicker coat of topcoat would smooth it out.

China Glaze Apocalypse of Color 2014 collection and many others are available at nailpolish.co.uk for £4.95 each! I didn't know about this website until they approached me if I'd like to do a review for them. They also offer OPI, Essie, Barry M, Invogue (of you don't know this brand, check it out), Sally Hansen, Tanya Burr and Rimmel. So I guess one more nail polish place to shop here in UK plus it offers free delivery! So the address is  nailpolish.co.uk ;) Stay tuned for some upcoming nail art...

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
