Hello lovelies,

hope you're all well! Today I want to show you some more pretty Clinique polishes. Nail polish is range is new to Clinique so I'm sure you'll be curious as to what the colours and formulas are.

"A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins is formulated to minimise skin sensitivity. It is dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested and appropriate for sensitive skins and sensitive eyes. 

The formula is beautifully balanced to maintain a high shine and streak free application. It is quick drying and available in a wide colour variety, including a few of Clinique’s iconic hues and seasonal, trend setting shades."

Red Red Red - tomato red colour with semi-jelly formula. The colour reminds me of Illamasqua Ruthless a lot except it's a bit darker and it has better pigmentation. I'm wearing two coats which were fully opaque. It applied very easily, dried fast and glossy. I have worn it for five days straight and had absolutely no chipping! I was very impressed with that.

Grape Ice - light purple half-jelly. What a pretty and unusual purple! The formula of this polish was nice and easy to apply. It is well-pigmented for jelly-like finish and I needed just two thicker coats for full coverage. The drying time was average without fast-drying topcoat.

70º and sunny - bright yellow creme. This is a perfect yellow for Summer, very happy and fun! The application was a bit tricky with this one because it dried quite fast. I've had to use thicker coats otherwise polish was prone to patching. Two thicker coats were fully opaque and dried nicely smooth. I've applied topcoat.

Happy ♥ - red/coral creme shade. It applied well but the first coat showed all imperfection on the nail. The second coat followed by topcoat smoothed the surfaced perfectly. The drying time was good and polish levelled itself very nicely in the second coat. 

Each polish comes in this typical Clinique box...

Hope you've enjoyed more Clinique swatches! You can check out more swatches here.

Polishes are available nationwide at Clinique counters and online from 31st May 2013.

Hello lovelies,

Hope you'll all well! Today I'd like to show you an experiment but it is also a review. Every time I went to a hobby/craft shop I've been checking out scrap booking stickers but never really purchased them because they seemed a bit big for nails. But I've always wanted to try them mind and had that nagging feeling somewhere in the back of my mind. So when I was approached by Born Pretty Store if I'd like to try and review their stickers, I was very pleased to say yes!

I have combined two ways of using the stickers - the first one is to stick the stickers on top of the painted nail and the second one sponging silver nail polish over the sticker and then removing it.

I have used Clinique Party Red as a base colour, A England Camelot for the sponged accent nail and Born Pretty Store Embossed Texture stickers.

Don't forget that you can use 10% off discount code LHJ61 for any purchase. 

At first glance this seems like a great idea. the stickers look pretty, they are small enough to go on the nail BUT they just don't adhere properly at the edges. I just couldn't make them stick and the ends kept peeling off. I've tried wet polish, nail glue, polishing over it, nothing has worked :( The stickers are too thick for curved nails and they don't keep the shape when bended. I guess I'll have to use them just for decorating photo album. I'm disappointed to say that I can't recommend this product for use on nails.

EDIT: Apparently the stickers work better with UV gel nails so if you're wearing those you might find these stickers will work or you.
