CATRICE Alluring Reds Pleasure of Temptation and a little heart nail art Tutorial

Hi guys ! Happy Sunday. I had a few Valentines inspired posts to share with you , so thought it's only appropriate to squeesh in an extra post before the 14th .

Catrice was kind enough to send me this duo set from their new Alluring Reds collection to come up with a fun and easy nail art look - I will be sharing another design before Valentines day on my Instagram account HERE , so remember to keep a look out for that too. But for the one I'm sharing I wanted to keep it plain and simple and wearable . I prefer a simple accent nail nail art for everyday wear , and not too over the top design on my nails - so for me it's the perfect combo. The colour I was send was the combo 03 Pleasure of Temptation . 

This is also a duo polish with one silver polish , and a jelly looking polish that goes with it. In the bottle the colour looked like a deep red - which I was a little scared off as I'm not really a fan of red nail polish - personally it makes me feel too grown up. But on the nail the red translated as a gorgeous deep darker pink, and I instantly fell in love. This colour is much more jelly looking than the L'oreal version , it really looks so squishy. 

As you will see in the tutorial picture , the silver is also a much lighter and a more sheer version. Both bottles are individual bottles (same as any normal Catrice polish , all difference is they come together in a little plastic box and the normal black red has a light grey print on with the words Alluring Red . All and all the bottles looks super sophisticated ) 

I am seriously in love with this nail art design and colour . So onto the nail art look :


And onto my little tutorial for you guys -




1. Use the Silver Base Colour on all your nails . Proceed to use the 03 Pleasure of Temptation on the rest of the nails excluding the accent nail.
2. Get a dotting tool and get ready to use the bigger side,
3. Using the bigger side make two bigger dots on your nails.
4. Now get ready to use the smaller side of the dotting tool
5. Connect the two big dots and voila , a little heart. 

I hope you enjoyed the little nail art post , and enjoyed the nail look. 

There are 3 sets of these polishes in the collection , and they retail for R89,95 per set.

Keep an eye out for more Valentines day inspired posts on Tuesday / Thursday and Saturday .

    Totally agree it something that you can wear everyday during this month, since it's not over the top!

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...
