Hello lovelies,

 

Today I'd like to share with you another stunning polish from HJ Manicure - Midnight Sky! I've previously shown you a gorgeous dark red called Red Wine (reviewed here) which I loved wearing and today I'm switching to a bold electric blue!

 

Right now it's winter time in the UK and most of Europe so it's the perfect time to wear blues, greens and dark rich colours. I love wearing jewel tones and that's probably why I love this shade of blue a lot.

 

HJ Manicure is a luxurious boutique nail polish range, created by Helen J. These 5-free, cruelty free and vegan friendly 14.8ml polishes come in a core range of 20 vivid colours.

Midnight Sky is described as navy blue but to me it looks like a bright shade of electric blue. It's rich, bold and sooo beautiful! It has a subtle shimmer that brightens the colours. I was pleasantly surprised that the polish wasn't streaky as many with shimmer finish are. The formula was nice to work with and fully opaque in two coats. I've applied topcoat as well but the polish dried smooth and quite glossy. I'd also like to point out that I didn't get any staining and I've just a regular thin base coat (OPI Natural Nail). So for me it's both thumbs up for this polish :)

 

Midnight Sky and other HJ Manicure polishes are available at http://hjmanicure.com/

Each bottle holds 14.8ml of product ad retails for £9.50 PLUS they offer free UK shipping over £20! What do you think of this colour? Have you tried HJ Manicure polishes yet?

 

In case you're wondering, I purchased the ring from So Nailicious Boutique, they have awesome jewellery ad other nail products.

Hello lovelies,

Long time no see! I've been so swamped with swatching and editing that I had no time to write new post! Today is one of those days when it's getting dark around 4:30pm which is soo depressing and I can't take daylight photos and it sucks! The manicure I'll show you now was luckily photographed few weeks ago and I managed to get some decent light and I love how the photos came out! There's A LOT of them because I just couldn't bring myself to narrowing them down more and I hope you'll love them too ;)

So let's have a look...

Oh how I love this red! I've previously shown you this gorgeous polish in a review and it's of course HJ Manicure Red Wine! This polish is beautifully glossy and it has a hint of jelly formula but it's fully opaque in two coats. It perfectly matched the gerbera flower I've had so I couldn't help myself and pair them up.

 

And the gold stickers you ask? They are All That Jazz Metallic Filigree Stickers in a CROSS pattern. Guys, these stickers are awesome! I've bought loads at the Olympia Beauty exhibition in London back in October and next time I'll buy more next time. These are quite thin and only the pattern peels off so there is no clear backing in between the gold lines. This made it fit beautifully on the nail without creasing or folding. I never use stickers because they just generally suck and are not suitable for my super curved nails but I love these! These should be sealed with two coats of topcoat which I agree with. I've used just one coat to get a bit of a 3D effect but you can achieve nice and smooth surface.

 

Also what I find great is the price - one set of 10 stickers will only cost you £1.79 and even less at an exhibition where they usually give some extra discount. If you'd like to check them out, check out All That Jazz website.

I hope I didn't bore you with the overload of pictures but....pretty :D I'll definitely be doing some more manicures with the stickers as they were super easy to use and they look stunning, don't you think?

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
