Showing posts with label shimmer

Hello lovelies,

 

I have decided that this whole week will be dedicated to A England and the new 'To Emily Bronte' collection. Every day I'll show you one of the new shades and there will be time for nail art and giveaway too so stay tuned!

 

About To Emily Bronte collection: 'The collection of 5 shades is dedicated to the author of the worldwide famous English gothic novel Wuthering Heights: translated in many languages, adapted in movies, theatres and TV series; and subject of famous poignant song by Kate Bush.'

 

Today I want to introduce you to Cathy, 'ghostly, eerie white grey holo with an illusory flash of blue the unhappy tormented female protagonist fluctuating as a ghost after her tragic and premature death'.

Cathy is gorgeous and elegant pale lavender grey with very fine holo and iridescent blue shimmer particles. I'm wearing two coats and no topcoat, the polish is still nicely glossy on its own. I found the formula to be little bit thicker than the rest of the collection which caused me to have few issues with application. If applied thinly, the polish can be a bit patchy as it dries fast. Therefore I had to start applying it thicker and that solved the problem. As you can see, the final look was great even without topcoat and nobody would probably guess I had some problems.

 

This thicker formula isn't usual for A England as almost every polish I've tried before was flawless. But all in all, nice polish that just needs a bit of a practice to use, that's all. Tomorrow I'll show you another shade from To Emily Bronte collection so stop by ;)

 

To Emily Bronte collection is available at A England website or from one of the international distributors.

 

Hope you've enjoyed the post and have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

 

Today I have some nail art for you! I have seen a beautiful nail art tutorial from Tartofraises on how to create white one stroke roses and I had to try it! I love one stroke nail art but I'm not very good yet but practice makes perfect so I keep trying.

 

I have painted the white one stroke roses over beautiful SpaRitual Artisan using Nsi Secrets Prism Paints in Little White Lies and angled one stroke brush.

This was not an easy design to recreate and I did have a little practice beforehand on a piece of paper. It is not as delicate and perfect as Tartofraises' design but I still like it. Artisan made a gorgeous sparkly background.

 

SpaRitual Pause collection including Artisan is available at SpaRitual UK and  SpaRitual US  and at the usual outlets like salons and spas.

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
