A match made in heaven, Chanel Bel-Argus and Azure Gradient

Hey Chikkas!  Hope you are all having an awesome Saturday! 

Today I am showing you guys a couple of polishes I have previously reviewed on the blog before, the difference being I used  them together as a gradient....ohhhh la la they are perfect together!




Bel-Argus and Azure both captured my heart when I saw them on sale and I knew I had to have them, separately they are stunning...together they are perfection!

My daughter wanted her hair dip dyed so we did it with a turquoise, light blue and dark blue, when she said she wanted her nails done to match, these were the two colours I used.  I loved them so much on her I decided to do it on myself to!

I added a touch of golden glamour by adding a touch of L'Oreal Gold Lurex glitter to the ends....LOVE this...what do you guys think?

Wow maybe the prettiest summer combo ever? nails inc Wellington Square

Hello my lovelies, how are we all doing today??  I have decided to drop by and share with you possibly one of the prettiest colour combos I have done recently...one that screams summer to me! (god knows we need it here in the UK)
nails inc wellington square coral peach L'oreal gold lurex



I have used Nails Inc Wellington Square as the base colour.  This is a STUNNING light peach colour, it is so soft and lovely but strangely it has a kind of neon feel about it, without it being neon...if that makes sense?!  It is bright and extremely beautiful.  I used 2 coats which applied great.  The first coat goes a little on the streaky side but the 2nd evened it right out.  Nails Inc is always a winner for me so formula was excellent.


I always like to have a play about with what I have in my stash so I decided to add a coat of L'Oreal Diamon Caret, which by the way Is beautiful.  It gave this a lovely soft silvery white sheen.  Then I did a reverse gradient with L'Oreal Gold Lurex.

I think you will agree this is a stunning combination! I love it so much I have had this on for 3 days!!

Chanel Bel-Argus and Loreal Gold Lurex

Hey guys.  I have such a beautiful polish to show you today, this baby should come with a warning it is that nice!!  I was perusing around Bluewater and just so happened to pass all the lovely beautiful polish counters (funny how that always happens! lol).  When I spotted the new releases from Chanel....my heart skipped a beat!! Azure is another beauty that I am yet to own....but trust me, I will!!

So Bel-Argus is a limited edition metallic stunning shimmery blue. 


I love how the blue shifts to different shades of blue depending on the lighting, in one sense it could be a super light blue and others it shifts much darker....in some lights it actually looks like it glows on the nails...perfection!

Application was faultless, it was smooth and fast drying, as you would expect from Chanel. 

I don't usually spend so much money on one polish but man, I felt positively regal knowing A, this bad boy is Chanel and B, knowing not everyone will be wearing this shade!  I truly think if blue is your colour then you NEED this in your life!

For added glamour factor I did a reverse gradient effect with L'Oreal Gold Lurex.  OMG I love this polish!  It is the gold glitter topper I have been searching for!  It is so beautiful and perfect!  Set in a clear base it is full of small golden glitter.  They lay perfectly smooth to the nail.  I adore this because i  tend to not  like in your face larger golds, this is the perfect alternative!
