OPI - Louvre Me Louvre Me Not

Hi guys ! Hope you are all having a great week so far. Mine has been  super busy , but hopefully it will calm down a bit from today . Today I have a gorgeous OPI polish to share with you - Louvre Me , Louvre Me Not.  Louvre Me Louvre Me Not  is a pretty medium-dark purple with subtle fuchsia  shimmer.  This is a saturated plummy kind of purple that isn’t bright, but it also isn’t vampy. Even in dim light, you can tell that it isn’t black. I love these types of shades for Autumn & Winter... vampy yet bringing a little colour onto your nails.  I used two coats of OPI Louvre Me Louvre Me Not in the photos below - What's YOUR favourite Autumn & Winter nail polish colour ??? How has YOUR week been so far ??? 

Pink Stars

Hi guys ! Hope you all had a great weekend . Alex was still battling with a cold... But luckily he's on the mend now.  Today I have another fun mani to share with you using some awesome  KKCenterHK  star studs. As you know I LOVE using studs , they are fun and easy , and always gives a fun girly or edgy mani. These  2mm Neon Pink Star Studs  are no exception. For this mani look I used Essie Chastity , and Tip Top Black Forest. Once the black was starting to dry, I gently used a toothpick and placed the star studs into the polish and gently pressed them into the polish. I sealed the studs into place with top coat, and this gorgeous mani was born.  So onto the photos - I really love how easy and user friendly these studs are, no nail glue is needed , making it a huge bonus. And they are shaped so they won't catch onto your clothes or hair . Remember to check out their online store here   KKCenterHK  . How was YOUR weekend ??  *This product/s was

Sinful Colors - Let's Talk

Hi guys ! Hope you are all doing well. This has been one LONG week, I'm just so glad it's finally weekend.  The lovely Siobhan from  For The Love of Nail Art  send me this gorgeous polish a while back - Sinful Colors Let's Talk. I was blown away by this gorgeous colour. I'm not usually a fan of Sinful Colors polishes (Although I LOVE every single one I own .. ) This one has really changed my mind about the brand in general. I mean just look how gorgeous this rich royal purple is. It's purple perfection in a bottle.  So onto the photos... I used three coats of Sinful Colors Let's Talk in the photos below - Stunning isn't it ? Thanks again Voni for this gorgeous polish.  Anyone have any fun weekend plans ? Been a long week on your side too ??

Revlon Age Defying Dark Spot Concealer & Wrinkle Remedy Line Filler

Hi guys ! Hope you are having a great week so far. Today I'm sharing the other 2 products from the new Revlon Age-Defying Range - The Age Defying Dark Spot Concealer & Wrinkle Remedy Line Filler.  Revlon Wrinkle Remedy Line Filler : What the Revlon Website says :  A welcome alternative to invasive treatments, Revlon Age Defying Wrinkle Remedy Line Filler™ is a lightweight, colourless formula with hyaluronic acid that instantly fills deep lines and wrinkles. Skin appears visibly smoother, perfectly prepped for flawless makeup application. 90% of women said skin looked fuller and more plumped when used under makeup. The best part – no appointment necessary!  My thoughts :  Since I don't have very deep lines and wrinkles, I only used the product around my eye and forehead area. My forehead being the biggest issue (from facial expressions I have noticed I can see the lines more prominent now ) . I loved how it made my skin look plumper and those pesky facial

Avon Gel Finish - Barely There & Dazzle Pink

Hi guys ! Hope you had a stunning weekend. I just relaxed at home for a change .. Was nice getting a few things done at home. Today I'm sharing 2 new nail polishes from Avon's Gel Finish range - Barely There & Dazzle Pink. These polishes come in shades, and don't require a base coat and top coat, has a gel like finish . Barely There is the first one of the two I tried. I LOVE nude nail polishes, they are perfect for office and for everyday wear . The formula applied like butter, and I LOVED the shine. I didn't use base coat or top coat and this polish remained chip free and perfect for 5days ! Only on day 6 did a few chips start to show . I'm really impressed with this one ! This really is perfection in a bottle.  I used 2 coats of Avon Gel Finish Barely There in the photos below - The next one is Avon Gel Finish Dazzle Pink. I have to admit, the colour pulls a lot more peach toned in the photos and in real life than it looks in the bot

Revlon Age Defying CC Cream & Firming & Lifting Foundation Review

Hi guys ! Hope you are all having a great week so far. Mine has been super busy  ... But hopefully it will calm down a bit soon.  Today I'm sharing my thoughts on two new Revlon products I've been testing out for a while now - Their new Age Defying Range CC Cream & Firming & Lifting Foundation.   First up is the Revlon Age Defying CC Cream : From the Revlon Website - A multi-benefit color-correcting and anti-ageing CC cream, Revlon Age Defying CC Cream™ Colour Corrector, targets the very first signs of aging to deliver light, yet buildable, coverage and improve the condition of your skin.

Essence - Baby , You're A Firework

Hi guys... Hope you all had a great weekend and had an amazing Mother's Day. Mine was nice and relaxing as a family.  Today I'm sharing one of the newer Essence Release polishes - One of their Effect Sparkling Sugar Polishes. I have to admit.. The colour in the bottle was EVERYTHING I hoped for in a polish.. Texture... Light  Pink ... But unfortunately on the nail it was a big disappointment for me. The colour is a little sheer , the effect wasn't there... The polish was just a plain polish on me so I ended up  top coating the polish.  Essence Baby You're a Firework has gorgeous golden and light pink glitters in a pearly shimmery base. As I said earlier , it is very sheer... If you have shorter nails or don't mind VNL ( Visible Nail Line) then you don't need to layer it though.  I layered it over Tip Top Melting Marshmallow in my photos with 2 coats Essence Baby, You're a Firework . The combo was nice and girly.. But it did leave me disappoint
