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,

Today I have another nail art manicure for you and the promised SpaRitual Cultivate (reviewed here)!

I've decided to do a retro floral design again using the Pueen Lace Blossom stamping plate (reviewed here). I've prepared stamping decals which I've coloured in with different colours and then applied to the nails. You can find tutorial for stamping decals here.

Let's check out the final result...

I have used SpaRitual polishes in Cultivate, Introspective, Indigo, Midnight Stroll and Positive Vibe. Then Pueen Lace Blossom stamping plate and Seche Vite top coat.

SpaRitual polishes are available at SpaRitual US and SpaRitual UK websites and at the usual outlets and spas.

Hope you've enjoyed today's retro nail art and have a lovely day! Lucie x
