Orly: Space Cadet

lyra — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:09:52 +0000

Hi!

I simply had to buy the Space Cadet from Orly Cosmic FX collection. I think this one it the most interesting color in the collection. It’s like a chameleon and it gives so many different colors! It doesn’t look good while in the bottle but once you apply it to the nails it’s real killer. I’ll let the pictures talk for themselves.

I also took more photos of the Galaxy Girl.

Have a nice day!

Orly: Luxe + Barry M: Instant Nail Effect

lyra — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 14:16:00 +0000

I love this gold polish! Orly Luxe: nice warm gold color packed with a lot of silver metallic micro-glitter. The result is super sparkly look with a foil-like finish. It’s well pigmented so it’s opaque in one coat! This is really an eye-catching color.

Because I like black’n'gold combinations I added a coat of Barry M Instant nail a.k.a. crackle polish. I wanted to keep the matte finish of crackle polish so I applied a top coat prior to the coat of crackle.

OPI: Russian Navy + Nfu Oh: 51

lyra — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:16:56 +0000

OPI Russian Navy is a dark navy blue color with blue and red shimmer. The red shimmer gives the polish a bit of purple reflection. It applies perfectly and it’s opaque in two coats.

OPI Russian Navy:

*****

I decided to do layering over the OPI Russian Navy with one coat of Nfu Oh 51. Nfu Oh 51 it’s stunning and complicated color. The base is jelly dark purple color with a lot of flakes. The flakes are mostly red, but in some angles you can also see green, blue and gold colors. It’s really unique and mesmerizing.

China Glaze: Vintage Vixen Fall 2010 (part 1)

lyra — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:53:50 +0000

Finally I had the time to swatch China Glaze Vintage Vixen. This is just a half of the collection, because I’m still waiting for the other half. I got this from Tiffani. Thank you a lot!
And here we go.

Bogie: eggplant purple shade with multi colored shimmer. It’s vampy, sparkly and it’s NOT black. Love it!

Foxy: brownish red color with orange and red shimmer. Totally perfect for autumn.

Hey Doll: pinkish brown color with red and silver shimmer. Very unique color.

Ingrid: taupe brown with golden shimmer. I really like this one.

Jitterbug: Very dark gray shade with tons of silver shimmer. This one is very sparkling!

Swing Baby: metallic champagne color with a lot of silver glitter. It has a foil look.

The application was okay, I didn’t have any bigger problems. Only two shades (Foxy and Ingrid) are a little bit runny, but manageable. With runny I mean that I was sure I didnt have too much polish on the brush, but then suddenly a big drop came out of nowhere. All of them need two coats for full coverage and they are well pigmented. The colors are perfect for autumn and I like all of them.

Have a nice time!!

Essence: Ready To Be Bitten + Konad

lyra — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 04:30:37 +0000

For this manicure I used Essence Ready To Be Bitten from Eclipse TE and China Glaze 2030 for stamping. Flower pattern is from Konad image plate m73. I have to say, that I like light colors on my nails. It looks soft and pretty.

On this picture is also lily flower. I love how lilies smells.

China Glaze: 2030 + S-he white + Konad (guest nails)

lyra — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:28:13 +0000

Hi!

I love doing manicure on myself, but I also like doing it on other people So my cousin came to me
for a manicure – she wanted to look good for a birthday party. After explaining to me what se plans to wear we
decided on a suitable manicure to go with it

This time we chose zebra/cheetah pattern from Konad image plate m78. For the base I used China Glaze-2030 and then I used the white polish from S-he to do the part where zebra pattern was supposed to be.
The pattern was stamped with Konad special polish in black. Then I added dots with dotting tool in cheetah print with Nubar-Jewel.
I think that came out very nice and my cousin also loved it

Have a great time!

Ciate-Golden Globe

lyra — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:01:33 +0000

Tokrat vam bom pokazala čudovit Ciate lakec. Ime mu je Golden Globe.
Ima ogromno zlatega shimmra, barva pa je zlato zelena.

Je zelo dobro pigmentiran, vendar je po prvem nanosu lisast zato sta
potrebna dva.

Tale oddtenek je malo težaven za nanašanje, ker je dokaj gost, ampak
bi se to težavo dalo rešit z malo thinnerja

China Glaze-Medallion

lyra — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:43:27 +0000

China Glaza-Medallion je prekrasen lak ki ti vzame dih
Z eno besedo: Glitter!
Zelo bleščičast. Vsebuje bleščice različnih velikosti in oblik. Med njimi
so tudi holografske.

Njegova barva je hladno rumeno zlata.

Na sliki sta 2 plasti, Po nanosu lak ni gladek, ampak je zaradi bleščic zelo
oster na dotik, ampak 2 plasti nadlaka sta to popravili

Med nanašanjem sem takoj pomislila da bo za odstranjevanje prava mora (imela sem
prav )

S-HE-230 + Konad

lyra — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:01:21 +0000

Ker mi je rdeča manikura z zlatimi vrtnicami bila zelo všeč,
sem poskusila še obratno kombinacijo

Za osnovo sem uporabila prekrasen zlat lakec S-he-230 … Lako bi mu dali lepše ime :/

Konadirala pa sem z Konad special polish. Vzorček pa je seveda iz plate m65.
Sem že povedalo kako zelo so mi všeč te vrtnice?
