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.

Hi!

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!

Essence: Surfer Babe Trend Edition

lyra — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:35:52 +0000

Finally I got all the polishes from Essence Surfer Babe collection. Maestra from Parokeets helped me out this time. She got me two polishes which I couldn’t find.
This is not the whole collection. I didn’t buy lip-glosses, because I have enough of them.

*****
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!

Ciate: Main Stage + Konad

lyra — Sat, 29 May 2010 07:07:47 +0000

Hi!

I will show you the manicure that I wore today. The berry base is polish called Main Stage from the latest Ciate collection. I stamped all-over pattern from m61 Konad image plate with China Glaze OMG which is silver holo shade. Lately I love to stamp with holo shades.

Some of you asked about my nail care routine and how I painted my nails so that the line looks clean. I will do a post about that, and maybe include a video showing the routine, because I really don’t know how to explain that

Until that, have a nice time! –Lyra*

Ciate: 3am Girl + Konad

lyra — Mon, 24 May 2010 04:42:31 +0000

Hello everyone!!

Today I will show you a manicure which I have been wearing for the past few days and it still looks like the first day! I can’t believe it that the polish didn’t chip off yet.

I used Ciate 3am Girl as the base and then I stamped on the Konad with China Glaze DV8. I know that I’m already boring with this pattern, but I can’t get tired of it. The pattern is from m73 Konad image plate.

I like cherries very much, they are my favorite fruit. I have a carton of fresh ones in my fridge and I eat them almost every day. This is what my afternoon snack looks:

Have a nice time! ~Lyra~

CATRICE: Clay-Ton My Hero and My Bests Friends Tiara+Konad

lyra — Thu, 20 May 2010 20:29:41 +0000

Hello!

Today I will show you two Catrice polishes. Yes, you read right, two!

The first one is named Clay-Ton My Hero. Funny name, but very special polish. It is a brownish gray color with a golden shimmer. It’s pretty unique. I don’t have any similar shade in my collection. It needs two coats for full coverage.

*****

My Bests Friends Tiara is also beauty in the bottle. It is white color with a silver shimmer, and it also has a hint of gray in it. It looks so luxury. The finish is frosty and it’s opaque in two coats.

I put some Konad on this one. I used Essence Bonnie for stamping and pattern from m64. I love how it comes out.

See you soon!

CATRICE: Blue’s Brother + Konad

lyra — Thu, 20 May 2010 04:58:50 +0000

Hi!

Sorry that I’m not posting more often, but this cold and rainy weather is so depressing that I’m not in the mood for anything. I promised you more swatches of Catrice polishes so here is another one.

BLUE’S BROTHER: is cold medium blue with turquoise shimmer. The finish is frosty, and I liked it that way. This color also reminds me of sea. I don’t know why all the blue shades remind me of sea, maybe because I can’t wait to go on a vacation, somewhere close to a beach. It’s opaque in two coats.

I put fishes from Konad image plate m27 on my ring finger with China Glaze Millennium.

In the next post I will show you two Catrice polishes

Have a nice time!

CATRICE: Plum Play With Me + Konad

lyra — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:52:39 +0000

Hi!

Today I will show you another beautiful Catrice polish. It’s called Plum Play With Me, and you can assume on the name that is plum purple color. The finish is creamy and it needs two coats for full coverage. This one is pretty thick and sticky, so the second layer was thicker than what I wanted. Anyway it dried quickly. I just love this color!

PLUM PLAY WITH ME:

This time I decided to put some Konad on, so I chose rose pattern from m65. For stamping I used China Glaze OMG. The holo effect doesn’t show on the pictures, because of the rainy weather (bad light), but I think we all know, what the OMG looks like and you can imagine that the mani is really nice.

I’m really hoping for good weather tomorrow, so I can do some more swatches of Catrice polishes. Today I also got the new six shades from Ciate. They are gorgeous, and I can’t wait to show them to you.

Have a nice polished day!
