white - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

I've got these cute Nicole by OPI mini neon sets for review so hope you'll enjoy them! There are two sets, each contains three neon shades and white creme polish to be applied underneath them.

Scandalous! Neons set - This set consists of White Base polish, Blue Neon, Purple Neon and Pink Neon polishes. I've swatched each polish over two coats of the White Base polish. Each of them were streaky in the first coat but the second coat made the colour look more uniform. They are nicely bright although I would call only the Pink Neon truly neon shade. The Blue Neon is absolutely stunning though, it's deeper and more vivid in the real life.

Notorious! Neons set - This set consists of White Base polish, Green Neon, Fuchsia Neon and Orange Neon polishes. I've again swatched each polish over two coats of the White Base polish. This set is brighter than the Scandalous! set and it's also more 'neon'. My camera didn't capture Fuchsia Neon quite right, it is more neon pink, awesome colour in real life. They all applied well but needed two coats of white and two coats of colour to achieve nice look.

Are you going to be rocking neons this Summer? I sure will, I just can't decide which ones to pack into my holiday suitcase. Which ones would YOU pick?

Hello lovelies,

I'm so excited to show you this manicure..actually there's three versions of it!

The theme of the Illamasqua's collection, Paranormal has inspired me and this manicure is supposed to depict tears through the fabric of the universe; between our universe and the one where ghosts, demons and other paranormal creatures live.

I have used Illamasqua Omen and A England Camelot.

And here is the awesome, 'paranormal' version! Gosh I loved how the green glows!

Then I said to myself: "Hang on, I could make this even more interesting, white glows under UV light too!" I've outlined the 'tears' and added some distress lines using white acrylic paint and this is the result:

Awesome, right? The Illamasqua Paranormal polishes are so much fun! below is a mattified version that actually looks like I've drawn on chalkboard :)

So that was the second post of the day. Did you like it? Would you like to try these new Illamasqua's UV glow polishes? They are available at illamasqua.com or at selected Sephoras.
