As soon as L told me she had bought Luxe and Lush I couldn't wait to try it out. I love the effect it gives with the huge chunks of glitter/foil that appear a different colour depending on what base colour you put it on.
As it was cold and wintering I decided to use them over pastel icy winter shades. I used OPI Kim-pletely in love which is a gorgeous pink shade with a shimmer and an accent nail of Rimmel Sky High.
I'm not a fan of the Rimmel I love lasting finish formulations. I love the colours in this range but all the ones I've tried have been streaky and hard to achieve a good finish.
My nails look messy in these photos as I'd bitten them really short :(. I'm trying to stop again. I love the icy cold look that luxe and lush gives over Kim-pletely in love.
I love using pastels even in the autumn/winter nights and think using top coats like this really make it look pretty.
I loved Luxe and Lush so much I've recently picked up Models Own Snowball which looks very similar. I can't wait to try it out soon.
You can pick up Luxe and Lush from eBay here for £3.40 + p&p
What do you think of the chunkier glitters? Do you still use pastels in winter?
