Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you a new accessory to complement my bold manicures - a Soufeel Charm Bracelet. Soufeel is a jewellery brand founded in 2011 and they sell affordable silver bracelets and charms as well as other jewellery. I was able to choose a bracelet and four beautiful charms to show you. The choice wasn't easy because Soufeel offers hundreds of charms and I could easily fill up the whole bracelet.

Charm bracelets became very popular in the past few years thanks to the Pandora brand and I quite like the idea of getting gifted charms on different occasions and then have a very meaningful piece of jewellery. I've read that Soufeel charms are compatible with Pandora bracelets as well so you can add these charms to your existing Pandora bracelet just fine.

As first four charms I have chosen a cute duck that reminds me of rubber duck toys, Libra sign which is my sign of course, a silver heart with wise words Live Laugh Love and a beautiful Engraved heart charm that I loved at first sight.

Both bracelet and charms seem to be nicely crafted and I can feel the weight of silver so they are not hollowed out with potential to be crushed (only the engraved heart is hollow but that's of course on purpose). The packaging is nicely thought through as well. My bracelet came with a branded bag and a lovely hard box with big pale blue bow and company logo. That really made it that much special and if this is a gift for a loved one, there is no need to add extra gift wrap.

One thing I'd like to point out to anyone thinking about getting a charm bracelet - make sure you choose the base bracelet large enough. I made a mistake of measuring my wrist and not counting the curvature of the bracelet plus some extra room for charms so my bracelet is quite tight on the sides. Always allow 1-2 cm extra.

Soufeel Charm Bracelets are available at www.soufeel.com and they ship worldwide. You can also use dicount code Lucie5 for 5% discount!

Hope you've enjoyed today's review and if you're wondering about my nails, the next post will be dedicated to that manicure ;)

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Today's post is about stamping and a massive Pueen Fireworks Festival stamping plate! I have been testing it for quite a while and now I'm ready to share my experience with you.

Pueen Fireworks Festival stamping plate is a buffet-style plate so there are many more design combinations you can create other than just each separate image.

The first time I've properly tried this plate on nails was over my Azature Pink and White Diamond manicure. I thought a simple zebra pattern would beautifully highlight the glitter base colours. I've used Creative Stamper and Konad Black stamping polish. The plate worked nicely and the zebra pattern transferred very well and almost perfectly. The pattern on the plate is quite large so I got away with using half of the pattern on one nail therefore making the stamping and cleaning much faster.

The Fireworks Festival plate is covered in a blue foil to protect it and it also comes in a light blue cardboard cover to protect the plate in transit.

"This plate measures 7"x9.5" (18x24cm) with sanded edges and backing for easy, comfortable handling and a protective nylon screen. The plate is made from high grade stainless steel and backing to prevent scratching during storage."

I really struggle with photographing stamping plate patterns because I always end up with camera/lamp/mine reflection. I have tried to capture all images on the plate for you and I've also test-stamped some of the image parts using the Creative stamper:

I love different patterns and floral patterns and there are plenty on this plate. Sometimes I don't like buffet-style plate when the pattern areas are so small that they don't cover whole nail but luckily, I haven't had that problem here. Overall, I'm very happy with this plate, it doesn't have any badly etched areas or mistakes and it stamps nicely.

If you would like to buy the Fireworks Festival or any other plate, you can do so at the Pueen website here.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
