Hello lovelies,

Ready for more Autumn colours? Well this is my take on Zoya Entice collection. The second half, Ignite will come soon. The Entice collection consists of 5 creme shade one slightly shimmery shade. They are a mixture of cool and warm shades and some of them will be great not only for Autumn but for Winter season too.

Nyssa - light brown creme. Nyssa is like a cross between milk chocolate and caramel. The formula was easy to apply but slightly less pigmented. I needed two thicker coats for good coverage. It dried fast and glossy.

Claire - dark burgundy creme. The colour is beautifully rich and smooth and I love the red undertone in it. The formula was good to apply, a bit streaky in the first coat but the second coat sorted everything out. It dried fast and glossy.

Margo - medium plum purple creme. It's a bit warmer than classic blue-based plum purple which makes it very appealing to me. It applied nicely and two coats provided full coverage. It also dried fast and glossy.

Veronica - red-based berry creme. I love this colour, so up my street! It's got great pigmentation so two thin coats were perfect. I didn't have any problems with application and it dried fast.

Geneviev - smoky grey creme with satin grey finish. I think Geneviev is kind of an ugly duckling of this collection. I wouldn't 'pick it out of a crowd' but it transforms into a very chic colour on nails. It dries very fast so I had to work fast to avoid patching. It's also slightly less pigmented so I needed two thick coats.

Ryan - navy blue creme. Another stunning shade I love! Ryan is rich, deep blue, absolutely perfect for those sailor summer designs. It applied very nicely and was also well pigmented. All I needed were two thin coats for full coverage.

Entice is a great collection full of colours perfect for the upcoming seasons. They all had pretty good formula - some a bit better than others. My absolute favourites must be Veronica and Ryan but the others are beautiful too.

This collection is available now directly from Zoya.com for $9 USD each, or $54 for the whole collection or at at The Nail & Beauty Link (UK) and at Nail Polish Direct (UK).

Stay tuned for the second half of the collection! Hope you've enjoy the swatches and have a lovely weekend. Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I've realised that I haven't posted a single video tutorial last month! Let me make it up to you ;)

Today's nail art is a gradient I stamped over so it's nothing too complicated but I get asked for tutorials for simpler manicures so I did this one.

I have used OPI You’re So Vain-illa and Sorry I’m Fizzy Today for the gradient base. Then MoYou London PRO collection 14 XL and MoYou Nails black special nail polish for the stamping. My stamper is a soft silicone stamper from Winstonia Store.

I'm sure you've spotted that there are two different products with MoYou in them - they are two separate companies so don't confuse them. MoYou London has rectangular stamping plates, MoYou Nails has circular plates.

Simples, right? I hope you've enjoyed the tutorial and don't forget to let me know your thoughts in the comment. I'm wondering if I should skip showing products used and just list them in the description - what do you think about that?

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely day! Lucie x
