Hello lovelies,

Thank you everyone who joined the Share The Love movement this weekend. Thanks to you I reached amazing 10,000 Facebook fans and I'm so happy about it! Thank you <3

On another note I want to share swatches of Jacava London Damson Delight with you. Every once in a while I manage to create some pretty pictures that I'm proud of and these are one of those (I hope!)...

Jacava London Damson Delight - Review &amp; Swatches

 


Damson Delight is a dark red jelly, very vampy and beautiful. And I mean BEAUTIFUL! I've been always a fan of 'blood' red jellies but they are very often poorly pigmented and have bad formula. Well I'm so happy to say that I didn't have any problems with patching or streaking and two thicker coats were enough for nice coverage. It dried smooth and glossy but I did apply topcoat as well because I want this beauty to last as long as possible (wearing it right now!).

I have won Jacava's competition last year and Damson Delight was one of the shades I've received - I'm so glad this happened because this shade is like the best vampy red jelly I own! Officially it's described as plum purple but not really, it's red.

 

 

Oh and just on a side note, Jacava London polishes are 8-Free and vegan friendly.

They can be purchased at jacava.com, feelunique.com and at Amazon.

 

Have a lovely day!

Hello lovelies,

 

You might have noticed that I haven't posted yesterday. That's because I wanted all of you to read my previous post Re: MissJenFabulous aka The Nail Art Thief post. It's an important issue that is shaking the nail community and you, readers need to know who you're following.

 

On the other hand, today's post is quite cheery I would say. I wanted to create a skittle manicure that would be kind of a tribute to the beautiful skittle manicures that Sammy aka The Nailasaurus does. Sammy had an amazing year (rightfully) and she is a great inspiration! I also had the privilege to meet her in person and she's a very lovely person.

 

I have done a skittle manicure combining her Nimbus design, polka dot, glitter, studded and stamped nail. Of course the manicure would look so much better on Sammy's short nails but eh, what can I do?

For this manicure I have used Barry M Crush (reviewed here) as a base colour, MoYou Festive Collection 03 stamping plate and OPI Alpine Snow for polka dots. I've also used A England Excalibur in the Nimbus design. The glitter nail is OPI Crown Me Already! and the triangle stud is from Born Pretty Store. You can use 10% discount LUHH10 on your whole order when you shop there.

 

Well I hope you liked it and I hope Sammy will too, she doesn't know I'm doing this post ;)

 

Love, Lucie x
