Valentines Day Nail Art - Girly Gradient

Hi guys ! It's finally weekend ! Anyone got any exciting plans ? Today is also my granny's birthday, so really looking forward to visiting her this evening, and spending some time with her tomorrow ! Happy birthday gran !!

Today's nail art challenge is a girly gradient. For this mani I decided to use pink (what colour is more girlie than pink ! ) . I used three coats of Tip Top Melting Marshmallow for the base colour. Then I used Tip Top Pink About Us, and Tip Top Sexy Bikini as the gradient colours. Honestly this looks so pretty and cute ! Then I stamped the accent nail with Konad Special White Polish, and Salon Express plate (SE 18 ) .
I really love how super girly this looks ! ♥ And the little heart added a sweet innocent touch . ♥

Remember to also check out the lovely ladies who are also doing this challenge. Their work is both fantastic , and the designs they come up with amazing ! ♥

      Lol, it's more of an illusion of the nail polish colour and angles I take my photos. In real life they dont even look nearly as long ♥ Thanks ♥

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
