Here is another ruffian manicure. It’s gold and black combination. It looks quite sophisticated. I used China Glaze 2030 and Color Club Where’s The Soiree. It goes great with my new sunglasses

Eclipse Trend Edition:

*****

POLISHES: there are five shades in this collection.

Undead?: is jelly black base with purple glitter mixed in it. I was a little afraid that the glitter won’t be seen on the nails, but it’s not like that. I can’t tell you how much I love this shade. It needs two coats for full coverage.

Thrsty?: is a really dark jelly red shade. It’s like blood. I love it! There are also two coats.

Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me: is medium berry shade with purple shimmer in it. It’s opaque in two coats.

Hide Bella Hide: is frosty metallic silver shade. I was expecting trouble with application, but it was easy. It needs also two coats.

Ready To be Bitten?: hell yes I’m ready! I’m joking a little bit. This shade is also nice. It’s sheer nude shade with rose undertone, but it is shimmer that is special. It looks like it has melted glass in it. Lovely color. This one needs three coats for full coverage.

*****

LIP-GLOSSES: There are four lip-glosses in this collection. I just swatched three of them on my lips, the black one however doesn’t look interesting on the lips.

Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me lip-gloss: is nice light purple shade with pink, blue and silver slitter mixed in it. Glitter is not too big, so you can’t feel it on the lips.

Ready To Be Bitten lip-gloss: this one is really nice. Clear base with loads of silver, blue and pink glitter in it. It makes your lips sparkle.

Lunch At Cullen’s: oh I love the name! And the gloss it’s also beautiful. It’s like China Glaze Ruby Pumps on the lips. Red jelly base with a lot of red glitter mixed in it. My lips are not made for red color, I should use a lip-liner.

*****

DUO EYESHADOWS: there are three duo eye-shadows in this collection. I didn’t swatch them, I just took a close up picture of them. The colors look nice, but I hear that they are hard. So the base or the wet application is necessary. I also love the naming of them

DIAMOND POWDER: it’s called Too Beautiful To Be True. It’s most silver, but you can also find some gold shimmer in it. This one is perfect if you want your skin to look like Edward on sunlight. You can use it on body or face. This one is also recommended to apply wet. I will save this one for New Year’s Eve.

So, this is it. What do you think about this collection?
Have a nice Twilight day! Lyra*

I bought this little cute OPI Shrek minis. Mini bottles are so small, but super cute. In the package are four shades.
OPI Shrek-Tacular Minis:

What’s With The Cattitude?: it is pastel light blue. I had a little trouble with applying this one. After two coats there were still visible streaks. So I had to put the third layer on top, beside that I love the color! It’s perfect for summer.

Fiercely Fiona: I really like the name of this one And the color is also unique. It’s pastel yellow with a touch of green. There are two coats, but I should put on another one.

Rumple’s Wiggin’: funny name, but the shade is nice. Very light creme purple on the warm side. It needs two coats for full coverage.

Who The Shrek Are You?: the best name in this collection It’s bright green, just like Shrek. I don’t like this color on my nails, so I will leave it to Shrek to wear it It’s opaque in two coats.

This is a manicure which I’m wearing at the moment. The base is Essence Pointbreak, and the roses are stamped with Essence Romeo. I used Konad image plate m65.

Have a nice time!

Coral: Gre za lepo poletno koralno barvi, ki ima pod nekatero svetlobo v sebi nekaj pink podtona, ki pa ga nažalost moj fotoaparat ne zaznava. Lak ima krem finish, ki je zadnje čase moj najljubši. Potreboval je dva sloja, za popolno prekrivnost.

Burgundy: ta oddtenek je sicer bolj primeren za hladnejše dni, ampak jaz sem nasplošno vanpy fan tako da bo prišel na vrsto tudi v tem času Gre za temno rdeč lak z ogromno finega vijoličnega shimmra kar mu da bolj vijoličen ton. Je zelo dobro pigmentiran, tako da bi bil primeren tudi za Konad, ampak vseeno potrebuje dva sloja za lepo končni videz.

Nasplošno mi je mazljivost lakov zelo všeč. Oba se super nanašata. Krivino ob kožici sem naredila brez problemov, saj se čopič zelo lepo prilagaja. Cena je prav nizka za takšno kvaliteto: 4.45€. Zagotovo si še kakšnega nabavim.

*****

For my international readers: this post is in Slovene, because Barry M polishes were sent to me by Maja from a new Slovenian online store Licila.si. I got Coral and Burgundy shades.
I love both shades and they apply perfectly. They are both opaque in two coats. If you haven’t tried this brand yet, you really should! I’m impressed.

Bye Bye

Today I will show you one gorgeous polish! OPI Glamour from Designer Series. It’s blue and it’s super holo! The picture doesn’t show real holo effect, because we have rainy weather all the time.

OPI DS Glamour:

I decided to put silver butterflies on it. I used China Glaze Millennium and Konad image plate m39.

See you soon!

I’m having a great time swapping with Tiffany from Yardsticks 4 Lunatics. You have to check out her blog, you won’t be sorry! I already got three packs from her! She sent me loads of polishes from my wish list and some other cool stuff. Look at all these beauties!

Claire’s and Sally Hansen polishes:

Color Club polishes:

Nubar polishes:

****

Not so long ago I also got a nice surprise present from Maestra. She helped me out with finding Essence Surfer Babe and Into The Wild polishes, but she also included a few I wasn’t expecting!

Maestra thank you again!

POLISHES: in this collection are four polishes. The formula is ok and I don’t have any problems with application. All of them have creamy finish and they are all two coaters.

Hang Loose: light milky lavender color with a hint of pink in it.

Pointbreak : medium gray shade.

Surferama: I think that Essence is already boring with this shade. I think they already released like four polishes exactly the same shade? Medium berry shade – that one is great pigmented. Nice and safe color, you can’t go wrong with it.

The World’s Coolest is my favorite in this collection. But the color is really hard to describe. It’s definitely not minty, but it’s not light blue either. Anyway I love it!

I did some stamping on this I used Essence stamping plate, Konad special polish white for flowers and China Glaze DV8 for butterflies.

*****

BLUSH in Surfer Babe TE is called Big Wave Survivor. It’s a nice medium pink shade and matte. I don’t think I will use this a lot, because I’m more into shimmering blushes.

*****

EYELINERS and EYESHADOW PALETTE
There are three eyeliners. They all have metallic like finish. They come in purple, light blue and dark silver colors.

Eye shadow palette it’s called Surfer’s Kit. It has six shades in it. Two of them are matte the others are shimmering. The shimmering ones are more pigmented than the matte shades.

This is all for today. Have a nice day!
