Hello lovelies,

I don't know if you know it but there is a Lady Gaga Fame perfume promotion running in Walmart and I was asked to write a post and create an inspired manicure. I thought the Fame bottle is a great inspiration so I've agreed :)

The bottle has interesting gold cap reminding me something of off Startrek. The bottle is made out of clear glass but the perfume itself is black so it creates this chic black & gold colour scheme. I went to my local department store to take a picture of the bottle together with my nail design and I couldn't resist to try out the perfume. I was a bit afraid that the black colouring in perfume would stain but it came out completely translucent. The scent is floral with hints of fruit.

I'll be posting this picture on my Instagram account with hashtag #WalmartReachForFame to get a chance to be featured on Walmart's website. You can do the same :)

There' also a promotion running where you can get $2 off of selected Fame perfume sizes. To get your voucher visit Walmart page. Also you'll be able to listen to two exclusive tracks when you purchase Lady Gaga's newest release ARTPOP!

Let's have a closer look at my Lady Gaga Fame inspired manicure...

I really liked how the manicure came out and wore it for the next four days. I've chosen black & gold colours to compliment the perfume and I have used A England Camelot, gold nail foil and water-based topcoat (this was a prototype, unfortunately I don't know where to buy it).

I've prepared a video tutorial as well and I would really appreciate your feedback on it :)

So what do you think of the new Fame perfume? Have you tried it or do you own it already?

Hello lovelies,

In September OPI has released two new Designer Series shades Lapis and Pewter inspired by raw granite. They are both matte textured glitter finish but also look stunning with topcoat. They contain diamond dust for that extra sparkle and luxury.

Lapis - deep blue sapphire base full of silver glitter. The polish is full of sparkly silver glitter and some of it is partly coloured by the blue base so it appears silvery blue.

I love that it dries matte because it gives me choice between matte and glossy finish. It is not as textured/gritty as some of the OPI Liquid Sands; it feels like sand on nails. It applied easily and the pigmentation is good too. I needed two coats for perfect coverage. Below are pictures with and without topcoat.

Pewter - charcoal base with silver glitter. When Pewter dries it looks much lighter than in the bottle, like a dark grey. But when I've applied topcoat, the base transformed into deep charcoal colour. It applied well but the pigmentation was slightly lower. I've applied two thicker coats. Pictures below show Pewter with and without topcoat.

So there you have the new additions to the Designer Series family. I personally love them both matte and glossy. When they are matte and textured they look chic and very fashionable but on the other hand with topcoat they look so sparkly and beautiful!

"Both shades feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush" so the application is easy and can be done in three brush strokes.

They should be available in your usual stores that stock OPI as they are not marked as limited edition. Alternatively you can buy them from Amazon and Lena White (UK).

What version do you prefer? Matte or glossy?
