Insect Inspired Mani ♥

Hi guys ! It's FINALLY Friday, thank goodness. This week has been hectic busy, feels like I need a week holiday after this. My little guy had his Christmas photo shoot yesterday too, luckily that went fantastic. This weekend I need a little shopping , what better way to de-stress :)

Today I'm showing you guys the first of my "Halloween"-ish posts. This mani I did quite a while back for the Tip Top I luv nails campaign, but felt it suited a Halloween theme a little better, so kept it aside especially for this time of year.

So here is the photos for my insect inspired mani , I used on of my little man's bug toys as a prop :) -

I'm not a big fan of bugs in general .. Eeeck ! But this was a fun mani to do. The bee was personally m favourite, followed closely by the spider. The other insects include a dragonfly, ladybugs, and ants (although they look a little funny in the photos.. )

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
