Hello lovelies,

I'm having shitty couple of weeks (but I'm not going to bore you with details) but that won't stop me in sharing some new nail polishes with you! I got approached by The Monthly Nail if I would like to sample their nail polish box...well yeah! I had no idea what to expect so I was very curious when the box arrived. Inside I found two Eugene Malibu polishes wrapped in pink tissue paper and The Monthly Nail card. I've never heard of Eugene Malibu (indie) brand before so I was excited to try something new. Let's check out the polishes...

Electric Zoo - bold blue shimmer. The colour of this polis is great but the formula was a bit tricky. It was a bit thick yet sheer so I've decided to apply it over black polish. First coat was quite streaky so I've applied second coat of Electric Zoo and that seemed to do the trick. All streaks were covered, colour was rich and it looked nice. Due to thicker coats the polish dried a bit slower so I ended up applying topcoat as well.

Electric Daisy - mix of blue and pink glitter with a dash of lime, red and pearl white glitters in a clear base with a bit of blue shimmer. It's a very unusual combination but it works. I've applied one coat over Electric Zoo and the shades complimented each other beautifully. The base was a tad thicker but it was still quite easy to manage so no problems here. Lovely glitter bomb :)

The Monthly Nail is 'nail polish subscription box that lets you create your own nail polish every month' and you can choose polishes from Eugene Malibu, OPI and Essie. There are three types of boxes to choose from ranging from $15.99 - $23.99.

You can also purchase Eugene Malibu and other polishes separately on their website. The Monthly Nail is also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Since the World Cup in Brazil is one of the most talked about things these days, I have here some more nail art with OPI Brazil collection (reviewed here)! These are almost Brazil colours except the red so I think it's quite fitting ;)

I have combined dotted swirls and stripes using OPI I Just Can’t Cope-Acabana, Red Hot Rio and AmazON…AmazOFF.

What a fun design! It instantly screams summer, sun and holiday to me! All I needed was dotting tool, striping brush and polishes :)

In case you were wondering how to create these dotted swirls, I've done a tutorial!

OPI polishes are available at your usual outlets, at Amazon.com (US) and for UK at The Nail & Beauty Link (UK, just register to shop), opiuk.com (UK), Feelunique (UK).

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
