Essence : The Gel Polish Lucky & Top and Base coat Review

Hi guys . Happy Monday ! How was your weekend ?? 

 Essence recently launched some awesome The Gel Polish base / top coat and a great range of polishes.  I got a few of the colours in the range to test out, and was pretty excited to see how these polishes preform with the top and base coat from this range. 

 One of the colours I got was Lucky - A gorgeous pink polish. The colour was opaque in two coats , and applied smoothly.I used it with the Essence The Gel Polish Base coat and Top coat. Now the base coat I found pretty average, but boy oh boy ... The top coat really impressed me. I love quick drying top coats, because let's be real - no one has time to sit and wait for polish to dry . This top coat is AMAZING ! It makes your mani dry SUPER fast (not Seche Vite fast, but really fast ) And it makes your nails look nice and shiny. 

 Now onto the wear time - this combo is suppose to make your nails last chip free for longer. I won't say it will keep them chip free for 7days or nearly as long as a gel mani would last you - but it did last a good 4/5 days on me - and I'm rough on my nail polish. In my books that's a decent amount of time. Especially for such an affordable brand . 

 Now onto the swatches of the pretty pink polish Essence Lucky ... 

Have you tried the Essence Gel Polishes ? What's your thoughts ??

    Sorry to hear that this combo lasts less days on your nails than you thought, but at least this nail polish has nice color :)

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 d...
