Hello lovelies,

Hope you've all had a great weekend! Sunday was exceptionally sunny which I used to swatch holo polishes. And of course today it's cloudy again *imagine my grumpy face*.

A while ago I've created this manicure that didn't make it to the blog until today and I wasn't even sure if I should publish it. It was inspired by this picture which has been going around for years but it isn't watermarked so I have no idea where it came from.

EDIT: It is supposed to be a CND promo picture but I wtill wasn't able to locate original location

I have used with SpaRitual Intention, A England Camelot and OPI Alpine Snow.

And this is the manicure without the dots that has been inspired by the picture mentioned above however I've put the stripe on the thumb on the other side of the nail to continue the pattern...

So that's all for today! Let me know if you know where the original inspiration came from and I'll happily credit.

Have a lovely day and send me some sunshine ;) Lucie xoxo

Hello lovelies,

It's finally a weekend again and I've set myself to catch up on some swatching, editing more video tutorials I made (yay to fulfilling my blog resolutions!) and writing some blog posts for the next few days. Phew, that's a lot of work just for two days!

Today I want to show you two Ruby Wings polishes that are UV sensitive and change colour once you go outside. The first one is Electric Firefly, a crazy bright yellow neon colour that changes into bright orange. The polish has a very subtle shimmer particles so it's not a flat out creme. I've applied two coat which went on nicely and I've also added topcoat. When I was testing the colour change I stepped into direct sunlight and the colour changed quite fast. It took a longer for the colour to go back to the neon yellow once I went back inside though. Overall it's a great polish for summer so I'll be sure to experiment a bit more with it.

The second polish I got here is called Doux and it is sheer pink duochrome glass flecks shifting to purple, blue and green shades. I've applied one coat over A England Camelot (black creme) because the polish is very sheer and I would need at least three thick coats for some reasonable coverage. I suspect the polish meant for layering anyway...

It applied well but it was a bit gritty because of the glass flecks. i needed thicker topcoat to smooth the nails out. As to the colour change - it is not as dramatic as with Electric Firefly. Doux changed from pinkish to blue-based purple but it wasn't very visible on the nails so look at the change in the bottle.

If you'd like to see more colour changing Ruby Wing polishes, check out my previous review.

If you'd like get your hands on Ruby Wing polishes, they are available at Ruby Wing website (US) or at Color Club Shop for UK customers. I've heard that Urban Outfitters sell selection of Ruby wing polishes too.
