shimmer - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

I liked yesterday's SpaRitual Optical Illusion shade very much so I've done a nail art manicure with it. This manicure is not my idea, it has been inspired by lovely Sophie from My Awesome Beauty blog. Sophie created a video tutorial of the 'Elegant Squares' manicure so if you prefer video over pictures, watch the video here. Make sure you visit My Awesome Beauty blog as Sophie is extra nice person full of great ideas!

Now to the manicure: I've used SpaRitual Optical Illusion a base colour and SpaRitual Conduit and Back To Your Roots for the different coloured section. I've also used striping tape for defining the sections.

This manicure is super easy to recreate so I've done picture tutorial. However don't forget that Sophie created a video tutorial as well and I don't ask for credit for this manicure. So if you recreate it, feel free to credit Sophie from My Awesome Beauty as it was her idea.

Hello lovelies!

I've got here three polishes from new Devilish Polish brand. It's a new indie brand that comes up with three shimmer shades. Kelly says about her polishes: "These 3 colors are based on three of my family members. My aunt, my mother in law and grand mother in law. My next line will probably be dedicated to my mom".

Devilish Polish Ann - lovely rose pink. The finish is shimmery but also shiny, foil-like. I've experience little streaks but nothing bad as you can see. I needed two thicker coats for full coverage. It also dried very fast.

Devilish Polish Denise - vibrant grape purple shimmer. This is my favourite colour from the three, it's really pretty purple with tiny blue and magenta specks. Almost no streaks and it dried quite fast; I'm wearing two coats. This is the only swatch I've applied topcoat to. Check this polish in a nail art manicure here.

Devilish Polish Erin - sky blue foil shimmer. A lovely, lovely shade of blue, quite bright and shiny. It's little bit streaky and dries fast. It applied slightly better than the previous two shades. I've wearing two coats and no topcoat. I've done a nail art dotticure with this shade, check it out here.

All three polishes had thicker formula but the application was easy. Erin has slightly better formula. They all dry fast and have shimmer in them. I know that shimmer polishes are not exactly unique but especially the purple one looks gorgeous.

Kelly now offers just these three shades but she plans to do glitter polishes in the future too. Can't wait! If you'll like them, you can purchase them at devilishpolishstore.blogspot.com and you can follow that blog for updates on new polishes coming out. Kelly also has a personal blog devilish-polish.com

So what do you think?
