Hello lovelies,

 

Let's take a little break from nail polish and have a look at what's new in the world of JORD Wooden Watches. I like to wear these so from time to time I show you some of the new pieces. I have promised to review one of their new limited edition Delmar Drift colour combinations. I haven't seen the Delmar Drift watch before and I thought it might be unisex but upon receiving it I've realised this is definitely a male watch. It is massive so I couldn't model it well on my teeny tiny hands so I enlisted the services of my husband.

 

About: "Our signature Delmar series is known as a watch closet chameleon, appealing to various personalities who value the bold design and color contrast. As a thank you to our Delmar fans we are releasing a much requested, limited edition grouping. We'e paired Bamboo, Red Sandalwood, Dark Sandalwood, and Green Sandalwood with vivid carbon fiber faces in an arresting array of hue and grain. Deviate from the norm and indulge in a new Limited Edition, Delmar Drift."

 

Let's take a look at the watch first...

All JORD watches that I've got come in a nice wooden box and this piece was no different. The packaging is well-thought and includes a little branded pillow that the watch is wrapped around, little wooden medallion attached to each watch with a logo, instructions booklet and the wooden box with carved logo.

 

The Delmar Drift watch I've received has a large rectangular watchface with Pearl Carbon background and it's made of Green Sandalwood. Despite this watch being on the large side, it's still very light compared to a metal watch. I couldn't feel any rough or sharp edges and the watch looks very nicely done. There is a wide variety of colour combinations and different woods so there's one for everyone.

 

Features:

  • scratch resistant mineral glass
  • double locking fold-over clasp
  • movement: Citizen Miyota 2035
  • 1 year limited waranty
  • case width: 44mm
  • band thickness: 26mm - 36mm
  • band length: 225mm
  • The natural Green Sandalwood is hand finished and pretreated with tung oils
  • The Delmar is splash-proof but should not be submerged in water (3 ATM).

JORD wooden watch would be a great option for a Father's Day, graduation, birthday present or any other occasion, don't you think? My husband happily accepted this piece and is wearing it as an alternative watch.

 

If you'd like to get your hands on one of the limited edition Delmar Drift pieces, you can purchase them at JORD website.

 

I love me some JORD watch - by the way have you seen the ladies Frankie watch? It's so beautiful! Do you own any wooden watch yet? Stay tuned for some nails soon ;)

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie

I thought I won't like this collection at all but after swatching all of the shades I've changed my mind. I really like that each colour has a sweet scent when it dries and they are all super glossy. The formula was easy to apply and thin layers dry relatively quickly but when there are 4 layers built up, it takes much longer and I would recommend using fast drying topcoat.


This collection has the very popular rounded and tapered flat brush that makes it very easy to achieve clean lines and I didn't have to do almost any clean up! So overall, I was pleasantly surprised :)

 

Barry M Lolly Gloss Collection is available at barrym.com, in Superdrug and Boots stores and their websites. Boots currently has an offe buy 1, get 2nd half price.

 

Have a lovely weekend! Lucie x
