Hello lovelies,

Ok so I gues it was time...it was time for me to try the saran wrap mani for the first time. I was resisting for a long time even though there wasn't a particular reason for it.

So for this manicure I have used OPI Lost On Lombard and My Very First Knockwurst. Then I've added a bow nail art sticker on top...

Did you know about Nail Art Nail Tattoos?

...the stickers are actually a Nail Art Nail Tattoos from Skin Art.

About the Nail Art Tattoos: Inspired by cult and trend tattoo designs, Nail Art® Nail Tattoos contain 60 individual designs including hearts, bows and crosses which are applied on top of a base colour polish and sealed with a clear topcoat. Totally foolproof, the Nail Art® Tattoos work with any colour and glitter.

They are quite cool and I really like the birds so expect a nail art with those in the future :) They stuck well to the nail but I did use topcoat over them just to be on the safe side.

Nail Art® Nail Tattoos are available in Boots and Urban Outfitters as well as being online at Amazon and Skinartuk.com RRP £5.99

Hello lovelies,

When Dazzle ry reached to me I was quite happy to test their products because I've seen only great reviews. I've been testing Dazzle Dry Quick-Dry Nail System together with their polishes (reviewed here) for some time now.

The set consists of three products - Nail Prep (30ml), Base Coat (15ml) and Top Coat (15ml).

Review: Dazzle Dry Quick-Dry Nail System

About: "Non-yellowing formula without Nitrocellulose and the harmful ingredients of Camphor, Formaldehyde, Toluene and Phthalate. Save to use during pregnancy."

I have followed the instructions as described on the box. Firstly I washed my hands and then wiped nails with Nail Prep. Then I've applied Base Coat which is very watery, dries fast and satin. Then I applied two coats of Dazzle Dry Rapid Red and one coat of Top Coat and let it dry for 5 minutes. After measured 5 minutes I poked into the nail polish with my nail and surprisingly it didn't leave a mark...could it really work as described? Well I think it does work very well. Of course I wouldn't usually go poking my freshly polished nails right after 5 minutes but it's great that the nails dry and harden fast.

Below are freshly painted nails...

...and the following pictures are after 5 days of wearing on my right hand. I'm right-handed so I use my right hand more often and it usually shows on the nail polish more prominently (if that makes sense).

As you can see, there are some major chips which occured on day 4 & 5. The tipwear was minor and the gloss slightly faded. I think applying second layer of topcoat on day 2 or 3 could extend the gloss and prevent some of the chipping. The system doesn't promise long wear but fast-drying system which it imo delivers.

As a fast-drying system, I'm happy with it and I will be using it. I'm also putting it on my mental list for when I'll be pregnant in the future. By being safe during pregnancy, Dazzle Dry definitely has a huge plus from me.
