Hello lovelies,

How are you all doing? I'm still very excited from my last post about VOLOOM hair volumizing iron - have you seen it yet? It's such an awesome hair tool! I hope you've enjoyed something little bit different. Now it's back to nails with this romantic-looking nail art design.

I have been testing the new KIKO Perfect Gel Duo in Milky Mint a while ago and I couldn't resist doing some nail art with it. Milky Mint is beautiful aqua mint colour and it goes perfectly with soft pinks and purples so that's what I paired it up with...

I've used KIKO Milky Mint, Bundle Monster neon round glitter and gold caviar beads from Light In The Box.

How to get this look:

1. Paint your nails with two coats of KIKO Milky Mint
2. Apply a tiny bit of the Perfect Gel Topcoat to the top area of the nail and stick three purple glitters in a half moon shape
3. Again using the topcoat stick smaller pink glitters next to the purple glitters and on the sides if you need to fill the space
4. Last embellishment are the caviar beads - Stick them in between the purple glitters using topcoat.
5. Topcoat the whole nail with KIKO Perfect Gel Topcoat

Hope you've enjoyed this post and have a lovely weekend everyone! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Lovely people from diego dalla palma have sent me few of their nail polishes to try and I've combined them into one stripy manicure. This is the first time I've been using diego dalla palma polishes and my first encounter with this Italian brand.

diego dalla palma about their polishes: "An intense colour that has maximum coverage, with a brilliant finish and a long lasting life. The new formula, combined with the maxi brush guarantees an easy application without any smudging."

I have used diego dalla palma Sorbet, Violet Underground, Modern romance and Cool Peony. I started with two coats of Sorbet (peachy colour) and then just applied curvy lines using stripy brush and all the other shades. All were well pigmented so I only had to paint the lines ones which was brilliant. Only Sorbet was a bit sheerer and needs two coats.

Overall, the polishes were a pleasure to work with, especially with the dark, super-pigmented shades. The brush is flat with rounded corners so that ticks the box for me as well. It's kind of like the upgraded Models Own brush in certain collections. diego dalla palma polishes are available at their website and at M&S website. The price is inder £10 per 14ml bottle.

You've probably seen this manicure yesterday and will see it once again because I've re-used it for other project but for that look in the next post!

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
