My 8 Favourite Spring Polishes

Hi guys . Happy Wednesday . How has your week been ??

Now that it's finally getting a little warmer here in South Africa , I decided to share my 8 favourite nail polishes I love reaching for once the weather warms up a bit.

Pastels are usually very popular year round - but especially in Spring time when you want some fun brighter colours to wear on your nails and get you ready for the new season . Although let's be real pastel nail polishes are cute year round.


Picture Polish Beige
This has been a firm staple in my collection. Although Picture Polish is a pricier brand - the polishes wear amazingly well and has a great wear time. Beige is the perfect nude colour for my skin tone - feeling soft and feminine while providing a small pop of colour on the nails. 

CATRICE Donut Worry be Happy ! Gel Lacquer
Personally for me - when I have a gorgeous pastel pink mani I look for polishes with the best formula - that has amazing lasting time and applies easily . If you follow me over on Instagram - it's no secret how often you see me wearing this shade - and with good reason. This is a brighter pastel pink that will look good on any skin tone. And who doesn't love a good pink polish ??

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pinky Promise
Again ... in the pastel pink category I have two pinks that are my go to shades. The Sally Hansen one is a tad more rosey toned and not as bright - but man oh man does this one impress. Again amazing wear time (especially if used with the Sally Hansen Gel Top Coat ) or with another long lasting topcoat. I do find the Sally Hansen gel line lasts amazingly well on me and I can easily go a week without any touch ups on my nails .

Essence A Whisper of Spring
And let's be real how cute and appropriate is the name of this little gem ?? While this polish doesn't last the longest the colour is such an amazing lavender shade that will look perfect on darker or lighter skin tones - I feel this is such a flattering universal shade for almost everyone. And since it's an Essence polish - another bonus is it being SUPER DUPER affordable . Which is always a plus point. 
Avon 7-1 Nail Colour Lilac Love
You can read my full review on this range HERE . This is such a soft lilac colour and the polish has so many amazing benefits when wearing - what's not to love ? I love how this polish makes my nails feel stronger too - which is always a bonus. 
JTONE Pretty Paint #MintyFresh
When I used this colour last week in the #52weeknailchallenge for the Spring Theme HERE I had so many DM's about how gorgeous this colour is. And it truly is the perfect formula mint polish . I love how the JTONE - even though super affordable lasts a decent amount of time on the nails . If you need convincing about this colour just click on the link to my Instagram picture to see the colour in action. 
Picture Polish Minty
Yes - I really love Picture Polish and it's so sad it's not sold in South Africa anymore. This is another gorgeous minty colour with tiny white and red glitters in - it really looks like a mint . The formula is a little trickier with this one though - especially since it it a thicker formula with the glitters. But it is worth the little bit more effort of painting your nails for the gorgeous colour . 

Essie Mint Candy Apple
Apparently there are two colour versions of this shade (the older ones are more minty green - the newer formula is more pastel baby blue like the one I have here ) . Essie formula is a hit or miss with me . Some colours are AMAZING - some are duds. This is one of the amazing formula ones . The colour payoff is amazing and the colour is the most gorgeous pastel blue . It really is such a gorgeous shade that will look pretty and flattering on almost any skin tone. 







What's your favourite Spring nail polish colour ? Which shade here do you like the most ??

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
