    I must have tried most lipsticks out there, but I am still searching for 'that' perfect red lipstick. I would prefer a matte effect but will give most things a try as long as long as it's not super glossy and shiny. Any suggestions? Xx

    INK London Nails?

    Top coating Additive nail art?

    Hi Geeks. I was having a play with some nail art last night (only on myself) using empower nail art for colour blocking and additives. However when I pull away the nail film, it looks beautiful until I top coat and it just 'merges'. I have tried 'floating' it on, which works a little better...
