Deco nails tutorial, lets make sparkly crystal nails

As a deco artist and decoden fan, I love everything that sparkles. Recently I received a new tool so I decided it's a great opportunity for a step by step deco nails tutorial to review my new black curved tweezers too. Deco nails are very popular in Japan and they are super cute especially for special occasions. 

Romantic lace nails with nail stamping

February is the perfect month for romantic nails so I decided to go for a lace manicure in turquoise and pink. I recently picked up Charmmy & Sugar by the OPI Hello Kitty collection and it turned out to be the perfect base for what I had in mind.

Picture Polish Frosting, a nail polish by Cosmetic Cupcake

Lately I have been in love with a specific nail polish, so much that I was wearing it for two weeks straight. And you know that is a very long time for a nail polish addict! It all started back in early August when I received a package from my dear friend 'Chelle who runs the blog Cosmetic Cupcake (more on that epic package on a later post). Inside was Frosting, a nail polish she created in collaboration with piCture pOlish. As soon as I laid eyes on it I was in love!

Let's celebrate summer, a review and a giveaway!

Hello everyone ^_^/

I hope you are all having a nice day and that this post will make it nicer as today I have for you a review and a giveaway!

Recently I have come to know the lovely Peggy that runs the Jewels by Peggy blog. She is a fellow crafter and makes really lovely jewellery so when she asked me to review some of her creations I couldn't say no.

She was kind enough to send me two pretty starfish and beads necklaces in brass tones. They are very pretty and perfect to wear for the summer be it the beach or a club you're going to. Here you can see me wearing the blue necklace. If you want more information on her creations you can check her blog or contact her on facebook.

So here is the deal. I get to keep one of these beauties and the other one will go to one of you, my dear followers ^_^ I chose the blue one so the brown is up for grabs.

And as I want to keep to the theme of my blog I also added one of my nail polish jewellery designed to match this lovely necklace. It is a lovely nail polish ring with chunky colour changing glitter.

Born Pretty Store

Hello everyone ^_^/

Easter is approaching and I have so many lovely nail polishes and manicure ideas but the weather is so gloomy and keeps ruining my photography plans.
So instead of a manicure, today I want to present to you the Born Pretty store, a perfect place to get a great variety of nail art goods at very reasonable prices. A while ago I received a very kind offer from them and as I love playing around with my nails, I couldn't refuse. A few days ago I received a package for reviewing purposes and as soon as I opened it, I found some fabulous nail art goods inside.

Here is what was included:

* A variety of cute nail decals
* Rhinestone wheel
* Black crackle nail polish
* Nail art dotting tool set
* Hello Kitty nail stamping set

All the items came carefully packaged and I was very excited to test them out.

First of all I had to test the crackle polish.

I layered it over a purple nail polish and I have to say I am impressed by the way it crackles. The final effect reminds me of stained glass.

And here is how Hello Kitty nail stamp comes out, accentuated with pink rhinestones.

What do you think about these nail art goods? Would you use any of these?
Do you think they are convenient or too much of a fuss?

If you would like to try out some of these yourself, Born Pretty has kindly offered the readers of my blog a 10% off with the code CEL10K31 until the end of June.

Submerge Me moisturizing booster by b•liv review

Hello everyone ^_^/

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.
After a very busy week I have a review to share with all of you today.

The product I am going to review is Submerge Me, a moisturizing booster by b•liv.

I have mixed skin so at times finding a right moisturizing product has been quite an issue. I have been using Submerge Me for 3 weeks now as part of my daily routine. I use it every night after cleansing my face before applying night cream. After the first week I started noticing the difference on my skin. It felt much more hydrated and smoother. After three weeks the dry areas on my face are almost non existent and my face looks brighter and healthier.

I would describe Submerge Me as a thick moisturizing lotion with a pleasant subtle scent. Apart from moisturizing it is also brightening and age preventing. The packaging is very convenient, as it has a pump on top so you can use exactly as much product as you need.

This is the full ingredient list that can also be found on the product page along with additional information on this product.

Purified Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Isononanoate, Ceteareth-6 Olivate,Trehalose, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II, Dimethicone, Ceramide 1, Diazolidinyl Urea, Fragrance, Triethanolamine, Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Strawberry Begonia(Saxifraga sarmentosa) Extract, Grape (Vitis vinifera) Fruit Extract, Sorbitan Olivate, Methylparaben, White Mulberry (Morus bombycis) Root Extract, Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) Root Extract, Propylparaben.

All in all I am very pleased with Submerge me and I will definitely keep using it after this bottle runs out. The product has been provided to me by the company for reviewing purposes but this did not affect my opinion at all. What you see written here is my honest and true opinion after using the product for three weeks.

You can check out b•liv on their home page or on Facebook.

Also they were kind enough to offer the first 50 readers of my blog free samples of Submerge Me.

All you have to do is check out my review post on their Facebook page and comment under it with your e-mail address and blog url.

I hope you enjoyed this review. Have a lovely Sunday everyone ^_^
