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

Hello lovelies,

How are you all? Sorry I've been so quiet lately, the wedding preparations combined with my lack of motivation lately caused me to slack with posting. I feel bad about it but I guess after 5 years of full on, almost every day blogging finally took its toll. Maybe that's why today's nail art isn't exactly amazing but it's still good enough to show it to you :)

For today I have prepared a review of five Bundle Monster Polynesia Stamping Plates and I've done a stamped nail art of course! So let's start with the nail art...

I have started with a coat of Dance Legend As You Wish (reviewed here). Then I've used the dry brush technique to apply Dance Legend aquarelle polishes Levitan, Tiziano, Picasso, Rafael, Dali, Sisley. This wasn't enough for me so I stamped over the colourful background with white Essence stamping polish and a floral design from Bundle Monster Polynesia plate BM-XL108.

The stamping plate comes from the new Bundle Monster Polynesia series that has 4 sets with 5 plates each (so 20 new plates). I have the Land Of Aloha set. So far I have tried few designs from different plates and all stamped without a hitch. Each plate also has hard plastic backing which I always like to see because it reduces chances of sharp edges. Some of the designs don't have the thinnest lines that I don't know if that was intent or not. Either way, the quality is good and for the price of just under $4 per plate it's a great value.

How I wish I could just snap my fingers and be in Hawaii! These Polynesian plates certainly entice me :) I also really enjoyed testing the Dance Legend polishes from the Aquarelle collection - tinted polishes great for leadlighting technique. They are less pigmented that the new Formula X and OPI polishes so they layer better.

What do you think of this colourful design and fun Polynesian plates?

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
