I really must stop wearing dark polishes :P But I can’t get out of my skin.
So here is Essie Midnight Cami. I spiced it a little bit with adding Sinful colors Starlight
on the ring finger.
Starlight are the holo stripes glitter in clear base. It looks great on dark base :)
This mani is more appropriate for New Year’s eve :D

 

And here is another common spring flower. Purple Violet is in my language ‘vijolica:)
As a little girl I used to pick them for my mother.

Which is you favourite spring flower?

Today I’m wearing Ciate Refresher, wich is creme light blue color. The application
was a bit tricky. The first layer was not the problem, but I had truble with the second one.
The brush kept sticking on the second coat application.

Ciate Refresher:

 

Today I fell more creative, so I did some Konad :)
I didn’t know wich pattern I shoul use, so I went trough all my image plates.
I saw this patern on m69 and I realized, thad I have never used it before. So I gave it a chance ;)
I chose the white color for stamping, but it looked so empty, so I stamped over again with dark blue color.
The polishes I used for stamping: Konad special Polish-White and Essie-Midnight Cami.

Today my post will be short, beacuse I’m verry tired and I can’t wait to go to bed and
read a book. But before that I must check a lot of e-mails wich you have sent to me for the giveaway ;)
I really didn’t expected so many applications :) And I can’t wait to anounce the winner.

So yesterday I upgraded Essie-Red Nouveau with Konad pattern from image plate m65.
I didn’t want the pattern to stick out too much, so I used the dark berry red polish from
Catrice-Vibrant violet. I really like the result:

Thank you for reading and have a nice day! :)

I was right about previous manicure. It didn’t last even 24hours :P
I already changed it yesterday.

The replacment was made with gorgeous polish Zoya-Adina from Spring 2010 Reverie Collection.

Adina is medium lilac purple base with a lot of light green shimmer, wich make the
duochrome effect. Depending on the angle, colors change from purple to silver to green.
It’s awsome! I will definitley be wearing it a lot.

Zoya-Adina:

The formula of this polish is verry good. It’s not too thick, not thin. Just perfect.
I didn’t have any truble aplying it.
Adina needs two coats for full coverage.

This is the second Zoya polish in my collection and absolutley not the last ;)

And now is time for todays manicure :)

I wanted something classy, so I picked up the red polish
from Essie Spring 2010 Collection Red Nouveau.

I just love this one!!
Classy red, wich I think should be a part of every girl’s collection.

The formula is like a poem! Is really pigmented so the one coat
is almost enough. After the first coat is just a bit transculent bright red
without any strikes.

Essie-Red Nouveau:

I will not add any Konad, beaucse I like it as it is now.
Maybe tomorow i will spice it a little bit ;)

Today I was watching TV and my baby doughter(9 months) was sleeping next to me.
I was looking at her and thinking how cute she is <3
Then I looked at her little fingers and her tiny nails …
Wouldn’t it be funny if I painted them with some nice polish? :D

Look at them? Aren’t they cute? :)

Ofcourse she is too young to have her nails done, but some day, I’m sure she’ll be walking around with very pretty manicure like her mommy ;)

She gives me inspiration for todays mani. I was thinking colorful, sweet and happy :D
So I painted each nail in a diferent color.

The China Glaze Up&Away colection is just perfect for this. There are lots of diferent pastel colors. So I use four polishes from that collection:

Re-Fresh Mint: is the pastel minty color, more green than blue
Lemon Fizz: pastel bright yellow
Something Sweet: pastel light pink, verry girly
Light As Air: pastel light violet, with a hint of grey
The polish on the thumb is Essie-Van D’Go, my favourite from spring 2010 :)

 

One of you will get three of these polishes in my Giveaway so check it out! ;)
There are also verry similar pink and violet polishes in the Giveaway :)

Hotela sem narediti primerjavo med Essie-Lilacism in China Glaze-Light As Air,
ampak sem dodala še Essence-Date Me! in OPI-Parlez Vous Opi?

I wanted to compare Essie-Lilacism and China Glaze-Light As Air, but i added
also Essence-Date Me! and Parlez Vous Opi?

 

Za na konec sem čez vse nanesla eno plast Nfu-Oh-50.

At the end i added one layer of Nfu-Oh-50.

Iz Essie spomladanske kolekcije Art Of Spring 2010 mi je najbolj
všeč odtenek Van D’Go :)

Če njega sem oddtisnila Konad vzorček iz plate m65. Spomnim se, ko sem
bila v Konadiranju še novinka in sem hotela imet ta vzorček, vendar mi
ni najboljše uspelo, saj je bilo vse zapacano in črte so bile krive :P

Tokrat mi je super uspelo :D Za Konad sem uporabila lak znamke e.l.f.
oddtenek ki je super za Konadiranje.

Essie-Van D’Go + e.l.f.-Coral:

Že dolgo si ogledujem manikure narejene z ”sponge” tehniko,
ampak do sedaj še sama tega nisem probala.

Danes sem naredila dve takšni manikuri.

Prva sponge manikura je bila takšna:

China Glaze – Fairy Dust (osnova/base)
Essence – Live Forever (sponge)
Essence SYF – Caribbian Sea (sponge)

****

+ China Glaze – Fairy dust

 

Druga manikura je zelo podobna prvi, le z temnejšo modro konico:

China Glaze – Fairy Dust (osnova/base)
Essence – Live Forever (sponge)
Essie – Midnight Cami (sponge)

****

+ China Glaze – Fairy dust

 

Katera vezija vam je bolj všeč? Mi je za prvič lepo uspelo?

Ugotovila sem da spogne manikure niso najbolj zame. Na drugih mi je všeč,  na
mojih nohtih pa ne. Zato moje nohte že krasi drugačna manikura ;)

V tem postu sem vam pokazala štiri lake od šestih iz Essie pomladne
kolekcije: Click!
Danes sem dobila še preostala dva: Van D’Go in Neo-Whimsical

Van D’Go: mlečni breskov-roza oddtenek z creamy finishem. Za
prekrivnost potrebuje dve plasti, Nanaša se prekrasno, kot vsi laki
iz te kolekcije.

 

Neo-Whimsical: Mlečno roza oddtenek z pridihom vijolične. Lepotec!
Barva je odvisna od svetlobe, na nekateri izgleda bolj vijoličen,
na drugih pa bolj roza. Barva me spominja na borovničev jogurt :)
Nanos je prav tako super, nanesla pa sem tri sloje laka.

Essie me z to pomladno kolekcijo res ni razočaral :)

20Feb

Wiiiiii! Te kolekcije sem se zelo veselila in končno je danes prispel
paketek iz Čarodejke z mini laki :)

V kompletu z mini lacki so 4 oddtenki, v celotni kolekciji jih je 6.
Kompletek vsebuje oddtenke:
- Lilacism
- Pop Art Pink
- Tart Deco
- Red Nouveau

 

Lilacism: je pastelno lila barva, ki je bolj na modri stani. Zeloooo
lep oddtenek <3 Finish je creamy in se zelo sveti že brez nadlaka.
Na sliki sta dve plasti.

 

Pop Art Pink: mlečno pastelen roza oddtenek. Pri prvem sloju je skoraj neviden
oz. da le malo roza pridiha – super za francosko manikuro. Da sem dosegla
prekrivnost sem morala nanesti tri sloje, ampak še vedno izgleda lepo :)

 

Tart Deco: kremno oranžkasto-breskov oddtenek, ki spominja na barvo lososa.
Zelo posebna in čudovita barva. Ko se lak na nohtih posuši izgleda malo temnejši
kot je v steklenički. Potrebuje dve plasti.

 

Red Nouveau: ko sem nanšala ta oddtenek sem bila čisto šokirana! Prefekten je
v vseh pogledih. Nanaša se kot poezija in zelo je pigmentiran.
Pri prvem sloju ni niti malo lisast, zato drugi več ni potreben!
Barva je zelo lepa, tista klasična rdeča, ki jo potrebuje vsaka ženska v svoji
zbirki ;)

 

Nasplošno je formula teh lahkov čista perfekcija! Super se nanašajo, končni
izdelek je prekrasen.
Barve so zelo primerne za prihajaočo pomlad: pastelni oddtenki so IN in Essie
je to upošteval :)
Edino rdečko malo oddstopa od celotne kolekcije, ampak rdeča je res must-have
in Red Nouveau je prekrasen :D
Kupila bom še manjkajoča oddtenka Neo-Whimsical in Van D’Go, da bo moja
zbirka popolna ;)
