Hello lovelies,

Recently, a British nail and now makeup brand Models Own has released a brand new and quite extensive make-up line. You might have noticed it already but what you probably didn't know is that I was the nail stylist on set for the photoshoot! It was a very last minute but exciting opportunity that I just couldn't pass up! I've spent 3 days on set and love the final photos! Most photos didn't include nails but there were three that did and I can share them with you!

The focus of the photoshoot was makeup on four beautiful models so nails weren't the main part but they still needed to be clean and manicured. Models Own shoot managers wanted just one colour on natural nails so I have done just that. Only one model needed to have press on tips (Camille with the dark purple lipstick) and they look great in my opinion :) What do you think?

 

Here are coupe of behind the scenes and working shots of me..

It was such a great experience and it was very exciting to see the final photos. Although girls really looked this amazing in person. Big thank you to everyone at Models Own for having me and I hope it won't be our last work together.

 

Have you tried any products from the Models Own make-up range yet? From what I saw, they look pretty great and the selection is massive! I'll be definitely trying the Lix Matte Liquid Lipsticks and the Myshadow Loose Eyeshadow Powder :)

 

You can check out the whole Models Own make-up range at modelsownit.com or in your local drugstore.

Hello lovelies,

 

Iv'e just came back from my long-awaited honeymoon in New York and I'm now getting ready for tomorrow's Scratch Stars Awards ceremony where I'm nominated in the Best UK Nail Blogger category! 

 

For today I've prepared a review of four new Barry M polishes. Two of them are Superdrug exclusives and the other two are Boots exclusives so you can only buy them in those stores.

 

First up are Superdrug limited edition shades in Festival Fever and Carnival Couture. They are available in Superdrug stores and Superdrug online.

 

"Unleash your inner beach babe with these two stunning summer shades inspired by endless fun in the sun! Carnival Couture and Festival Fever will give your nails an instant injection of colour. Whilst your manicure will last for ages, these limited edition hues won't...so grab them quick!"

Festival Fever is a warm medium pink with a subtle gold shimmer. The formula was nice and easy to apply and I got away with two regular coats. The polish dries semi-matte but I always apply topcoat anyway so it didn't matter.

 

Next up is Carnival Couture, a nude shade with grey undertonnes and subtle silver shimmer. It was also opaque in two coats and dried average. The formula was little patchy for me but thicker coats solved that. Fast-drying topcoat also helped to speed up the drying time.

And now let me show you the two Boots exclusives, Golden Sands and Beachy Keen. They are available in Boots stores and Boots online.

 

"Life's a beach with these gorgeous, exclusive nail paint shades! Be transported to a tropical paradise with Golden Sands and Beachy Keen, two limited edition colours for summer. Get your hands on them while you can because like summer, they won't be around forever!"

 

Golden Sands is a gorgeous golden pale nude with gold sparkly particles. The formula was really nice and opaque in two coats and it dried fast. The final finish was again semi-matte but a coat of topcoat fixed that.

 

Beachy Keen is a medium tan shade with strong yellow undertones. Beachy Keen has a creme finish and was opaque in two coats. I've had absolutely no problems with this colour, great fomula!

So those were the four new Barry M limited edition polishes for this summer! My absolute favourite is Golden Sands! Not only it has a beautiful gold sparkle but I finally found a nude-ish colour that I loved on my skin tone! I hope you've enjoyed my flower photos ;)

 

The rings I'm wearing are from Luna Pyxis, an online store that sells jewellery handmade in South Korea. This first ring I'm wearing is X Criss Cross Ring which is an adjustable ring with lots of crystals. The other one is Rectangle Cubic midi ring also in rose gold colour and features one big crystal. They're so pretty!

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
