Hello lovelies,

Today's post is about an experiment. Experiment with bright neon loose glitter. Lovely people from Bundle Monster have sent me a set of glitters and among them were the glitters I'll be using today. Glitter placement can look stunning but sometimes it can be a right pain, especially if you unwisely layer the glitter like I did! I wanted to do a gradient with it but layering glitters made the surface uneven and a bit bump even after applying topcoat.

Let's have a look...

I started with two coats of Barry M Gelly Coconut, a creamy off-white polish. Then I've painted a small part of the nail with top coat and started sticking glitters to it. I repeated the same process and added less and less glitter towards the tip of the nail and most glitter near the cuticle. Lastly, I've sealed the nails with a coat of topcoat. This manicure wasn't a total success and I can still see that bumpy surface in the pictures but we learn from our mistakes, eh? I also regret forgetting to take pictures under UV light, it could have been epic!

The glitter didn't bleed colour so I really appreciated that. The set also offers a nice range of colours in three different shapes - circle, hexagonal and diamond. The glitter set can be purchased at a Bundle Monster website.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

How are you all doing? I'm still very excited from my last post about VOLOOM hair volumizing iron - have you seen it yet? It's such an awesome hair tool! I hope you've enjoyed something little bit different. Now it's back to nails with this romantic-looking nail art design.

I have been testing the new KIKO Perfect Gel Duo in Milky Mint a while ago and I couldn't resist doing some nail art with it. Milky Mint is beautiful aqua mint colour and it goes perfectly with soft pinks and purples so that's what I paired it up with...

I've used KIKO Milky Mint, Bundle Monster neon round glitter and gold caviar beads from Light In The Box.

How to get this look:

1. Paint your nails with two coats of KIKO Milky Mint
2. Apply a tiny bit of the Perfect Gel Topcoat to the top area of the nail and stick three purple glitters in a half moon shape
3. Again using the topcoat stick smaller pink glitters next to the purple glitters and on the sides if you need to fill the space
4. Last embellishment are the caviar beads - Stick them in between the purple glitters using topcoat.
5. Topcoat the whole nail with KIKO Perfect Gel Topcoat

Hope you've enjoyed this post and have a lovely weekend everyone! Lucie x
