Essence : Toffee To Go !


Hi guys. Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!

Today I'm showing you guys a polish from Essence Nude Glam Range. This one is called Toffee To Go !

First off, I have to say, this polish was SUPER thick and streaky. I did thin it out with polish thinners a but, but the streakyness was horrible. And the colour dragged when you put on a second coat, and took forever to dry, even with my Siche Vite topcoat. And that dries any polish instantly basically.

But still, the Seche Vite does smooth out the streakyness a bit. And the colour is a very awesome looking nude , if you have time and patience for it to dry.




I do like the colour on my nails, it really suits me, I just don't have the time or patience sometimes to wait for a polish to dry , especially since Siche Vite can't even get it to dry quicker.

    Hi! I have read that the seche vite top coat is tricky to apply, is that so? I need a new top coat and have read so many good things about seche vite, but I’m still not very good at doing my nails and know I will be frustrated.

    Hi Chantal. Siche Vite is awesome ! It really dries your polish super fast, I think perhaps thats why some might think its tricky to apply ?? You have to move quick as it really does dry your polish fast. And some polishes doesn't quite work so great with the Seche Vite, and then the shrinkage occurs. (Mostly some China Glaze Glitters and colours I noticed , but for them I bought the China Glaze Fast Foward ) .I never experienced problems with it being tricky to apply though. But I'm sure you won't struggle. It's better than waiting forever for your nails to dry. :) And it gives it a "glasslike" shinyness too.

    It’s that shine that makes me want to try it :) what base coat would you recommend? I have just discovered why my manicure doesn’t last…. Wore my new base coat and saw how quickly it chips.

    Then you won't be dissapointed. The glasslike shine makes the polish last longer too . :) Personally, I have two basecoats I alternate between - Tip Top Maracilious Results (when I want my nails stronger or longer or using a very light colour as this dries to a white-ish colour) and then China Glaze Adhesive Base Coat. It works great, and I noticed makes my polish last longer too. I have heard that Seche Vite base coat is fantastic too, although I haven't used it before.

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
