IZ Beauty of London

Diamond Dust Glitter 

Hey all! Hows everyone doing. I'm great and as always super busy. Well today I have one of a few reviews for IZ Beauty of London. I was kindly sent a few different items to try out. The first is this spectacular holographic silver glitter mix called Diamond Dust.


It's a textured glitter that can be used in many ways. For my look I have poured the glitter over wet polish as an accent, a bit like dipping powder. On my other black painted nails, I mixed a little of the glitter into clear polish and painted over. This also have great coverage, and looked amazing. You can see what I mean in my video tutorial below. (I apologise in advance as I'm posting on a Wednesday, but did my video on Monday and it was Bank Holiday here in the UK)
The glitter sparkled beautifully in the sun. And the texture wasn't too rough, and topcoat made it feel smoother. I really like how well this mixed with polish, and would look great mixed into a colour and not just clear.

I'm super impressed with the quality of the Diamond Dust Glitter and can't wait to try the other items from IZ Beauty of London.

Milvart

Water Decals

Hello again, another post today showing two sets of water decals from Milvart. I would like to do more per blog post, but with so many other things that need doing, 2 mani's per post is all I can do right now. 
N230 is this super cute Ladybird decal with a sort of patchwork feel to it. Each decal compliments the other and I'm really liking the final look of this mani.

N864 is a full sheet of black rose decals that you can cut how ever you wish to use them. For my base I applied a cream polish and gently sponged over some pink, not to cover the cream, but just to add a touch of colour. The black roses are the perfect look for these colours, so detailed and easy to do.

Facebook and Instagram are the best way to check out Milvart, and I'll be back soon with some more full nail decals very soon.
Stay safe and much love....

Moyou Nails Fashion

Square Stamping Plate

Hi guys, hope your doing well and had a good weekend. It's a Bank Holiday here today, so another relaxing day....not! 
Anyway I'm here with another Square Stamping Plate from Moyou Nails Fashion.
Urban 445 is a full image plate, with a lovely assortment of designs. I really like how the squiggles and other shapes make the hills for the cute houses. Great detail on this plate and etched perfectly. I found the best way to pick up a clean and crisp image was to quickly and lightly roll my stamped over the design.
Of course I had to make reverse stamped decals, and used various Moyou Nails Fashion Polishes to colour them in.
Here's my mani with a glossy topcoat....

Then I added a matte topcoat...

Which finish do you prefer? I can't decide!

La Femme

Fluo Gift Set 

Making the most of this amazing warm, sunny weather, and what better than to share with you all these stunning neon polishes, perfect for Summer. These cute 6ml bottles come in a pretty gift set and can be purchased from Vivien Kondor website,
Fluo come in 10 rainbow colours for £10.
How pretty does these all look. For my swatches I have applied 2 coats of each colour over a white base, and no topcoat.
Each have been photographed in the sun and shade, and look awesome! As there are lots of pics, I'll talk about these polishes at the end..



















A perfect rainbow of shades that really pop over a white base. The first coat is quite jelly looking, so I will try these with a leadlight mani. The second coat made the colour more opaque and just lush. The finish without a topcoat was so shiny, and not bad drying time either. A lovely gust set of polishes that would make anyone happy.
Thank you for stopping by.
Stay safe and much love....

Charlies Nail Art

Nail Foil

Oh what glorious weather we've been treated to here in the UK. I just love the warmer, sunnier weather! Also another half term holiday, boy this year is going so quickly. 
So Friday again and time for my regular review for Charlies Nail Art. I have this stunning strip of gold shattered nail foil that comes in 7 colours for only 39p. The strip measures 13mm x 4mm, so plenty for all 10 nails.
Looks at those stunning rainbow sparkles!
I painted my nails with a polish as close as possible to the colour of the foil. And used foil glue. Check out my Instagram for a quick video tutorial.
Over all the application of this foil was perfect. These 2 photos are before any topcoat.

Now regular topcoat will spoil the look of nail foil, especially if you wish to wear it for longer than a day. So I first applied a water based top coat, then my regular topcoat, photographed below..
Then just for fun, I painted some black diagonals to create a nail art look with this foil.
So versatile and easy to apply. For this or any other items from Charlies Nail Art website, use my discount code below to receive 15% off your order.

Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend and as always stay safe, much love....
