Gradient and Aztec stamping with Cheeky Viva Mexico

Hi guys, hope you've all had a good weekend, I've not had the most productive but I thought that after a very stressful two weeks worrying about the interview I mentioned in last post I thought a long chilled weekend was the best call.  Especially as I've been in a particularly good mood as I totally nailed the interview =D so after I write this post I'm going to watch a film and maybe colour in, carry on the chilling.

Jade Holographic - Mystic Gold & Lemons

Hi all. Happy Monday.

I can safely say I am going to power through this week at work knowing I have a three day weekend thanks to a bank holiday ^-^ Anddd I've just gotten my Viva Mexico Cheeky plate in the post so hopefully the long weekend will mean I'll get to test it out. Expect Mexican themed nails for the foreseeable! Well, when I catch up with my backlog of photos.

Today I have some pretty simple nails to show you guys, and also some swatches of the gorgeous Mystic Gold. Which has become quite the favourite of mine along with Energy.

Alessandro International - Pomegranate Swatch & Review

Hi all, happy Sunday, and Happy Mothers Day to UK people.

No stamping challenge for me this week as I haven't had time. I do however have some swatches of a lovely polish I was sent by Alessandro International.

Here's what I was sent

Little product booklets, colour charts, note pad, pen, invitation, and the polish

And here's the swatches, this is two coats no top coat, look at how shiny that is!

Alessandro International - Pomegranate

Pomegranate is a really gorgeous Coral creme that has jelly properties, and really pretty warm gold flecks. it tends to photograph a little more orange. Dry time on this is quick, and the coverage was great, as you can see. Overall I was very impressed with this polish, and I really liked the design of the lid, I thought I might dislike it, but it was really convenient.

I'm not sure where you can buy Alessandro at the minute, but I've recently seen they have a polish called Nail Dots, which is similar to OPI Spotted, so hopefully I'll find out where you can easily get Alessandro polishes.

**This product was sent for consideration of review**
