Hello lovelies,

One day In late Autumn I thought I'd try stamping over textured polish again and I chose snowflakes. Well it didn't went exactly according to my plans but I still want to share it.

I have used two coats of OPI Liquid Sand Baby Please Come Home from the Mariah Carey Holiday collection as a base. Then I stamped blue snowflakes using various stamping plates.

Winter theme continues with snowflakes!

Don't forget to check out previous post featuring Icicle nail art and video tutorial. For some reason I'm very proud of that manicure :D

 

Anyway have a lovely day and see you tomorrow!

Hello lovelies,

Hope you're all well and not too depressed that it's only Tuesday ;) I've prepared just a simple swatch post for today but I like the pictures very much so I hope you will too. Plus I need to start feature more polishes that I didn't get for review and are laying here and waiting for me to get to them. Some poor little beauties have been waiting more than two years to be swatched and I just don't have the time...it makes me really sad :(

CND Lilac Longing is a lavender creme shade that has very good formula. I didn't have any problems whatsoever with application and I also enjoyed the high pigmentation. I've applied two thin coats which dried quite fast. I still applied topcoat to finish it off.

The brush is thicker than China Glaze brush but not as thick as OPI. It was easy to work with so no complaints there either.

I was very pleased with this polish and I also got a feedback from a friend who is using CND Cream Puff (white creme) for stamping and she said it works great.

 

It is not quite easy to get your mitts on CND polishes, I've found few sources for you. You can purchase them in some of your local salons, search for them at www.lovecnd.com (UK). If you're a nail tech you can purchased from Sweet Squared (UK).

 

Another resources I found are Nail Polish Direct (UK), Nail Republic (UK)  Nail Polish Canada (CAN), Nail Supplies (US).

 

Have a lovely day!
