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

Hello lovelies,

 

Nice people from Models Own have set me four colours from their new Twilight HyperGel collection and I've decided to combine them into one manicure..well, a dotticure.

 

The Twilight collection consists of 13 new HyperGel shades in beautiful autumnal and winter colours. Whole HyperGel collection boasts with wider flat brush for easier application and super glossy formula with gel-like look without the need of UV light.

I've had so much fun creating this look! I've used dotting tools and nail art brush and these four Models Own polishes*: Everyday Grey, Cashmere Pink, Robin Red and Loganberry. All polishes were lovely to work with as their formula is well-pigmeted and not too thick. In the end I've applied Cuccio Matter topcoat to get a different finish and I really liked it! Which version do you like better - glossy or matte?

 

Models Own Twilight collection is available at www.modelsownit.com, in Bottleshops and in Superdrug.

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
