Hello lovelies,

I'm so proud to have a guest post from lovely Leslie from work / play / polish. She is one of the handful bloggers I subscribe to by email (plus other channels) so I don't miss a single post. Her photography is exceptional and her nail designs are inspirational. I truly love her blog and I'm very happy she agreed to guest post for me.

Hello Lucy’s Stash readers! I must admit…I was completely shocked when Lucie asked me to write a guest post. I thought she most certainly was confusing me with someone else! She’s such a nail art icon. I’m honored to grace the pages of her blog. I hope you all like my mani.

The two polishes I used are new to me and super cool. I thought a simple look showed them off best. Both polishes are by Italian manufacturer, Layla Cosmetics. The blue is from their recently released professional line. These polishes have 15% more pigment than Layla’s consumer polishes and come in a large 17ml bottle. The extra pigment shows. It has really beautiful and dense color! The silver is called Metal Chrome and is from the Layla Mirror Effect line.

I used a dotting too to accomplish the look. The pics don’t do this look justice! The mirrored silver over the deep blue is really stunning in person!

 

 

I hope Lucie is enjoying her vacation and I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading!

Hello lovelies,

 

So I'm on my holiday right now but I've prepared some regular posts along some awesome guest posts so there will be no blogging break ;) Today I'm reviewing Alessandro Lucky Violet which I've been sent for a review.

 

Lucky Violet - lavender/violet with fine blue and magenta shimmer. The shade is really lovely and glossy. It applied well but the polish was streaky in the first coat. The second coat sorted it out and the polish looked nice. It is well pigmented and it fried average to fast. I've applied topcoat.

Each bottle has 10ml. For more information on products and range please visit their UK website or US website.

 

Please excuse the not exactly perfect lavender, that was the only one I could find. So what do you think about this elegant purple?
