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 disappointed as I was looking for a texture polish . 


I did love the mani combo though .. And wore it for about 5 days before getting any chips. 

How was YOUR weekend ??? Tried any new Essence polishes lately you would like to recommend to me ?

    i just ADORE it!! I think it would not disappoint me and it looks great, probably greater in the bottle, but still. very summery, it's one of the not so frequent cases when i want to run buy a polish after reading a post.

    I can imagine your dissapointment though... I had the same with those Essence Candies. Bought them all and now I have 5 clear based polishes. Ugggh !!! But the combo you did looks stunning though.

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...

Inoar Hair Botox Treatment Lowdown and Review

Hi guys. Happy Friday. Today is FREEZING - I'm on my third cup of coffee for the day already . How was your week ? Any fun weekend plans ? Last Sunday I was lucky enough to be invited to try out the new Inoar Hair Botox treatment at Sorbet Dunkeld . As I mentioned before I love the Inoar Absolute Blond range so I was excited to try this treatment - as my hair can always do with a boost. I take great pride in looking after my hair and trying to keep it in tip top condition - especially taking extra steps since going blonder. So ... What is the Inoar Hair Botox treatment ? This is a hair treatment containing fatty acids , argon oil , Shea butter , hydrolysed keratin and grape extract . The treatment is rich in Vitamin A , C and E which will help protect your hair . It's also rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals.  The treatment is pretty easy and not too time consuming - Your hair gets washed, the treatment applied for 30 minutes and then rinsed out.  ...
