lyra — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 06:12:43 +0000

I’m so busy lately + I’m also lazy Great combination!
I will show you my today manicure, and in the next posts there are going to be manicures that I already wore.

Today I’m wearing OPI Dating A Royal. I have to say that this is become my favorite blue. It’s gorgeous deep and rich blue color, with creamy finish. Finally I found dark blue polish that it’s not almost black.

OPI – Dating A Royal:

Here is the photo with my beautiful new ring. It goes great with my blue nails.

I know that I promised that my next post will be about my nail care + video how I paint my nails. I had prepared everything, but I need to learn how to work in the program for video.

Have a nice day! –Lyra

CATRICE: The Devil Wears Red and Poison Me, Poison You!

lyra — Thu, 13 May 2010 06:33:15 +0000

Hello ladies!

Yesterday I have shown you my new Catrice polishes. Most of you want me to make swatches of The Devil Wears Red and Poison Me, Poison You! So I did them both.

THE DEVIL WEARS RED is really dark vine red shade. In the first coat you can see the red color, but it’s so streaky that the second coat is absolutely necessary. When you put on another layer of the polish, the color becomes more brown than red. The redness comes out under really strong light. I had no problems with application. There are two coats on the pictures.

*****

POISON ME, POISON YOU! is gorgeous eggplant purple with blue and scarlet shimmer. The formula of this one is a little thick, but I managed somehow. This nail polish also needs two coats for full coverage.

*****

I have to say that I’m impressed with these polishes. They are great for such a low price. I also love the brush, it’s not too thin and it’s not too wide. It’s just the right size for perfect application. I also like that they have so many different shades to choose from. Everyone can find something for their taste.
More swatches to come tomorrow

Have a nice time!!

China Glaze: Meteor Shower

lyra — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 05:14:12 +0000

OMG! Why didn’t I try this polish before? I got it a long time ago from my dear friend Gani, but I just put it in the drawer and never tried it, until yesterday.

I fell in love with it! Meteor Shower is gorgeous deep blue polish with a lot of gold, bronze, orange, green and blue glitter mixed in it. The shape of glitter is round and there are also little squares in it. All these colorful glitter doesn’t stand out much, because the blue base is like jelly and the glitter looks like it’s sunk in into the polish. The effect reminds me of deep sea.

The finish is pretty much chunky, but it doesn’t bother me. Two coats of top-coat fixes everything

China Glaze Meteor Shower:

My birthday is coming soon and I’m already wondering which polish to wear? Any suggestions?

Have a nice day!!

China Glaze: Lemon Fizz + Konad

lyra — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 05:03:29 +0000

It’s time for spring manicure!
Finally it feels like spring spring. Before I was just waiting for
more snow. I’m not the sun person, but I like watching how the nature is waking up
and turning green.

So I dressed my nails in yellow. I chose China Glaze Lemon Fizz, beacuse this
one has the greatest formula of all the yellows I own.

Lemon Fizz is pale daffodil-yellow. It’s pastel, but there’s a little warm tone in it.

The first layer is streaky, but the second one hides all imperfections.

China Glaze-Lemon Fizz:

Then I took Konad plate m60 and with Konad Special Polish – Yellow stamped dots.
And then with Konad Special polish – Black Pearl on the ring nail I added flowers
from the same plate.

I forgot that g2g smudges dark Konad polishes so the flowers are not perfect :/
But anyway, I think it still looks good

I hope tomorrow will be a sunny day, so that I can take some spring flower photos
So, everyone enjoy the spring time

Have a nice springy day!

China Glaze: Emerald Sparkle + Konad

lyra — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:15:22 +0000

Hej!
Še vedno sem tu
Par dni sem imela “nage” nohte in sem jih le razvajala
z mojimi najljubšimi kremicami in olji

Hey!
I’m still here
I had “naked” nails for a few days and I was spoiling them with my
favourite creams and cuticle oils

****

Danes vam bom pokazala najlepši zelen lak, ki je v moji zbirki.
To je China Glaze-Emerald Sparkle <3
Osnova je temno smaragdno zelene barve in izgleda želatinasto, v njem pa so
zelene bleščice.
Ta lak je v bistvu zelena verzija Ruby Pumps, ki sem vam ga že pokazala.
Ta lepotec v steklenički potrebuje dve plasti da je lepo prekriven.

Today I will show you the best looking green polish from my collection.
It’s called China Glaze-Emerald Sparkle <3
The base is a deep emerald greem jelly and it has green glitter mixed in.
This polish is like green version of Ruby Pumps.
This beauty in the bottle needs two coats for full coverage.

China Glaze – Emerald Sparkle:

Dodala sem mu še Konad vzorček iz plate m76 z China Glaze-Millennium.

I also added Konad pattern from image plate m76 with China Glaze-Millennium.

S-he 434 + Konad

lyra — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:11:48 +0000

Tokrat nosim lak znamke S-he, odtenek 434.
Njegova osnova je temno vijolične, skoraj črne barve in vsebuje
droben svetlo zelen shimmer.
Prekrasen je!

Nanaša se lepo, potrebuje pa dve plasti za popolno prekirvnost.

S-he 434:

Dodala sem mu še Konad vzorček iz nove Konad plate m75 z lakom
China Glaze-Metallic Muse.

Obožujem Twilight saga knjige in prav tako filme
In danes sem končno dobila zapestnico, ki jo nosi Bella v filmu Meni je super všeč!

Essence-Live Forever (Moonlight Colection) + Konad

lyra — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:48:59 +0000

Tole manikuro sem si naredila že včeraj in sem jo danes nosila cel dan =)

Essence-Live Forever spada v omejeno kolekcijo Monnlight.
Oddtenek Into The Night sem vam že predstavila tukaj: CLICK

Live Forever ina ogromno shimmra, tako kot ostali laki iz te kolekcije.
Je temno srebrne barve. Zadostuje že en nanos, ki pa ni problematičen.
Pri teh lakcih je malo težje odstranjevanje saj je shimmer dokaj velik
in gre zelo težko dol.

Naj povem, da sem se odločila da mi je tale najbolj všeč iz te kolekcije

Essence-Live Forever:

Ciate-Lemon Sherbet + Konad

lyra — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:10:22 +0000

Lemon Sherbet je prelep pastelno svetlo rumen oddtenek.

Edini minus je nanašanje, ker je res zelo zelo gost.
Prvi sloj sem nanesla brez problema, ker pa je bil lisast sem morala
nanesti še enega.
Pri drugem sloju sem imela velike težave, ampak mi je nekako uspelo

Ciate-Lemon Sherbet:

Rumenkotu sem dodala še Konad vzorček iz plate m65, uporabila pa sem
lak Ciate-Golden Globe.

Nato sem čez Essence-HoHoHo nanesla eno plast China Glaze-Fairy Dust.

OPI-You Don’t Konw Jacques! SUEDE

lyra — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 01:18:24 +0000

Sicer nisem največja navdušenka nad OPI laki, ampak morala sem probat
tega iz Suede kolekcije.
Gre z lak, ki vsebuje veliko shimmra z mat finishem. Končni izdelek izgleda
kot semiš

You Don’t Konw Jacques! ima v sebi pretežno toplo rjavo barvo, venar v njem
vidim tudi nekaj sive.

Nanos ni problematičen, vendar je treba bit dokaj hiter, saj se extremno hitro
suši. Prekrivnost je dosežena že z prvim slojem!

OPI-You Don’t Konw Jacques! SUEDE:

Po enem dnevu sem dodala še nadlak Essie-Good to Go! in postal je še lepši!
Shimmer z nadlakom pride še bolj do izraza. Res je nekaj posebnega =)
