Mani Against Woman & Child Abuse

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had an okay week. Mine was hectic, and was incredibly busy week too. I feel like a zombie in need of coffee. So REALLY glad it's weekend !

Today's mani is especially for Tip Top South Africa Facebook page challenge. The theme this week was a special black Friday mani in support against woman and child abuse. Sadly, this is something that's a universal problem, and you might even know someone who was abused somewhere down the line. I had a very dear friend get beaten really badly by an ex boyfriend a few years back, it's such a scary thought that it could happen to someone you know. So this mani is especially a dedication to that dear friend of mine♥

For this challenge, you had to have 4 Black nails ( Tip Top Black Forest ) and a White accent nail ( Tip Top French Manicure White ) with a special design on your accent nail. For my design I chose to do a heart with crackle polish( Tip Top Black Crackle Polish ), so it looks cracked and a little broken in support of this cause.
Did you do anything special on this cause ? If you have, please feel free to leave your link and I'll check it out. ♥  Anyone got any fun plans for this weekend ??

*EDIT TO ADD*
The lovely Ghila from NailsNoob joined and posted her mani on her blog too . Here is the link mani-against-women-and-childs-abuse

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
