Hello lovelies,

 

this is my only post for this weekend because guess what - I'll be spending whole Sunday at Olympia Beauty exhibition in London! I'll take some pictures for you but I won't be taking my big camera, so phone pictures will have to do. Back to today's nail art though...

 

I've combined three shades from the new Models Own Diamond Luxe collection (reviewed here) into kind of Art Deco looking design. You could have seen similar design from bloggers like The Nailasaurus or So Nailicious. I've used striping tape to create it and small brush to paint in the different parts.

The polishes I've used are Princess Pink, Oval Plum and Marquise Maroon. All available from Models Own website and their Bottle Shop in London.

 

I'm also wearing a beautiful midi ring by Astrid & Miyu in the pictures. It's called Gold Crystal Floating Heart Midi Ring and it is the perfect companion to my design! It has tiny sparkly crystals in it as well.

 

That's all from me today, have a lovely weekend everyone and stay tuned for next post on Monday!  Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

Today's post is very exciting for me because I want to show you not only some chic nail art but also a stunning watch I got for review! Plus I got to play a hand model for a bit :D

 

Fossil Watch Review & Chic Nail Art Design

 

 

So firstly let me tell you about the watch - it's a rose gold watch by Fossil (sold at chriselli.com) decorated with crystals around the clock face. I chose this one because it's very feminine, sparkly and I haven't really seen many rose gold watches around (meaning seeing them on people).

 

It has 29 millimetre clock face which is a perfect size for my small arm. I did have to take out three links but I have a cheap set of tools for that so it was very easy to do. The strap is made out of stainless steel and the watch is water resistant up to 100m but I definitely won't be swimming or shower with it!

It's beautiful, right? The crystals are very sparkly and the whole watch is so shiny. The watch came in a metal tin with a user guide inside and was wrapped around paper carton. I'll be keeping that packaging and storing my watch in it for sure.

 

So now comes the part where I play a hand model :) I've tried my best and my fiancée helped with taking the pictures but unfortunately my hands can be real awkward sometimes and I don't have a fully professional photo set up either.

As for my nails, I wanted to use a rose gold metallic polish paired up with black but sadly I don't own one. So the closest thing I could find and would still go with the watch was Julep Zoe. Zoe is a bronze brown metallic shade and I've used two coats. Then I've used striper brush and Cirque Memento Mori and painted the black stripe.


I've been sent the watch from chriselli.com, an online store selling watches, jewellery and sunglasses (and yes, it is an authorised agent for those brands ;). They sell brands such as Emporio Armani, Calvin Klein, Kate Spade, Rotary and many more. You can follow Chriselli on Facebook for regular giveaways. They are also a sister store to watches2u.com who has daily watch giveaway so check out their site too!

 

So what do you think of my pretty new watch and the manicure? Let me know in the comments! Lucie x
