Hello lovelies,

 

Many of you have been asking if my collaboration shade Dragonfly is the same as A England Saint George - it really isn't. Let's have a look:

So as you can see, Dragonfly is a lighter shade of green teal whereas Saint George is quite dark in comparison. On top of that, Dragonfly has slightly different holographic finish and coloured glass particles - bijou holo finish. They can looks very similar in picture depending on lighting, sun, how much the picture has been edited, your monitor etc. but when they are next to each other they are clearly different. At least in my opinion.

 

These swatches were taken under artificial light because I haven't seen sun in a long time..in fact I don't even remember how it looks! HELP, send some sun to the UK!

 

I hope you can see the difference and yes, it's worth to own both!

Hello lovelies,

 

Don't you just wish the summer would last forever? Sunny days spent at the beach, warm sunsets and blooming flowers everywhere! That's just my dream and I can keep dreaming because I live in Britain after all... So at least I can create pretty flowers on my nails :)

 

I've decided to decorate Illamasqua Melange with vintage style roses. I have used Illamasqua Melange, OPI Red Hot Rio, OPI Alpine Snow, OPI Chic From Ears To Tail and Barry M Cardamom.

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 size to fit above my knuckles. Midi Rings are usually too big for me as I have slim fingers but this one fits nicely.

 

The ring is very delicate and feels like good quality product as opposed to some very cheap rings I bought before. The crystals fit perfectly, none of them are loose and this ring also comes in rose gold and silver colour.

 

It is made of gold plated brass and it's nickel free. If you would like to find out more and see some other Astrid & Miyu rings, visit their website.

You might have noticed that my pictures have changed a bit. Well I have a new camera which I'm currently testing so the pictures are mix from my new and old camera. I hope you like them and I hope you've enjoyed today's post.

 

Also, my dear friend Ruth has entered me into a birthday contest and I could win a pretty watch. The competition is on Facebook and as always with FB competitions, the most likes win.
