Hello lovelies,

 

Today I want to share with you a polish that I fell in love straight after first few brush strokes. I have a major love affair with red nail polish and HJ Manicure Red Wine is my latest addition. Yes, today I'm testing out HJ Manicure polish!

Red Wine - dark red creme-jelly. This colour is beautiful and super glossy  and although not excatly the colour of re wine, it's a nice medium-dark red. The formula was a bit runny but that's better than thick in my opinion. It was easy to manage and apply. I've only needed two regular coats for the coverage in the pictures, the polish has a good pigmentation. I've applied topcoat as well.

 

I'm so excited about this polish, I truly am! I love reds and this one is stuning! HJ Maicure polishes are available at http://hjmanicure.com/ and they offer free UK shipping over £20!

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

Whilst I'm preparing some bigger post for you, I want to share with you this older nail art manicure I did on my rounded nails at the time.

 

I have been playing with SpaRitual Autumn polishes from the Pause collection, namely Artisan and Modern Craftsman. I've decided to create stamping decals and a chic geometric design.

I have applied two coats of Artisan and then I had to create the decals. I have stamped the geometric pattern on a stamper and filled some parts with small brush and Modern Craftsman. Then I topcoated the decal and once it was dry I peeled it off and applied to the wet nail. The gold polish I've used for stamping is Hit The Bottle To have and to Gold, the stamping plate Pueen 103 from the 24M - Make Your Day set and stamper and scraper from B. Loves Plates.

 

Where to buy:

Sparitual: SpaRitual UK / SpaRitual US

Hit The Bottle: US & Canada, UK, Australia

Pueen stamping set: Pueen US

B. Loves Plates products: B. Loves Plates website

 

This manicure is from about a month and a half ago when I freshly filed nails on one of my hands into round shape...so don't worry, I didn't change my nail shape completely ;) What do you think about the manicure?

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie
