Pastel Triangles ♥

Hi guys ! How is everyone doing ? This had been a horrible week so far, with so much going on , that I'm just glad it's Friday. This weekend we got some fun plans too, Alex has a friends birthday party , and then I can finally chill and de-stress after this week .

So as promised, I will show a mini tutorial about the zip lock bag metode - The ideas you can do here are endless, I will be showing some awesome craft punches manis using this metode really soon too -
First off, I will quickly explain the steps :
  • Put a layer of polish on a zip lock bag (or any other thick-ish plastic bag )
  • Let it dry for about 4 hours ( but never more than a day or two or the layer will break)
  • Gently peel of the polish layer with a tweezers .
  • Then using scissors / craft punches or craft knives, cut out a design of your choice
  • Paint your nails as normal, and before applying top coat, gently put your designed piece on top with tweezers / orange stick or toothpick
  • Seal with top coat and voila ! A fun design mani !
So here is my Pastel Triangles mani . For this mani I first used two coats of Tip Top French Manicure White. I then but a layer of each of the following Tip Top colours on the zip lock bag to dry - Melting Marshmallow, Fairy Dust, Cha Cha Cha, Lemon Fuel and Twilight and then cut them into fun triangles.
And it's really as easy as that. I really wanted to have a fun colourful mani for the birthday parties we are attending this weekend, and I just adore the outcome. ♥

As you might have noticed, my nails are a lot shorter again too, I had a horrible nail break on my non blogging hand, and it felt silly leaving one nail so short and the rest longer, so I will be showing a few shorter nails in the next few posts again .

Have you tried some of this zip lock bag nail art ? If you did please leave me the link, or feel free to email me them, I would LOVE to see your work too. ♥

Anyone have any fun weekend plans ?? I'm hoping the weather stays this cool, it's quite nice to have cooler Autumn weather finally approaching. ♥

    Dearest, remember I love you and you can always find fun and relaxation time sending msgs my way. I have plans on talking with you this weekend.
    This is probably the best post so far, love that you did a tutorial and I love these nails, so fun, colorful and yet simple looking.
    Must have been a little compliated but fun too to make it.
    I love them ,they look great and bright with that white base and those pastel colors!
    Your title pic reminds me of the great spanish director Almodovar, he is now coming in the theatres with a new movie made in his signature '80's style, and this design and image are so '80, in a super positive way!
    Kisses and hugs, love you

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
