OPI: Summer Flutter Collection Summer 2010

lyra — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:29:27 +0000

Hi everyone!

Today I have OPI summer 2010 collection for you. It is called Summer Flutter and I bought it in mini version

Flower To Flower: is a bright bubblegum pink with fine silver shimmer. I’m not really into bright pink shades but this one I surprisingly like.

Wing It!: this shade is really special. It’s strawberry red jelly base with blue-violet glass flacked glitter. I think it looks gorgeous!

Flit A Bit: nice bright orange creme. This one is the only crème in this collection. I would be happier if they threw some glitter in it.

Catch Me In Your Net: blue jelly base with silvery green glass flacked glitter. It looks stunning. This one is the same like Zoya Charla. On the pinkie and middle finger is Zoya and on the ring and index is OPI. Can you tell the difference? I can’t.

The formula of this collection is great. They are super smooth, and they are not difficult to apply. They all needed two coats for full coverage. I think it’s a nice collection and I like it. I like those glass flacked glitters. They should make an entire collection with these type of glitters. Do you like this collection?

Ciate Paint Pots: Festival Fever spring/summer 2010 Collection

lyra — Wed, 26 May 2010 07:02:18 +0000

I already mentioned that I got the new collection of Ciate polishes, so yesterday I made some swatches. It’s called Festival Fever. It looks like my camera hates the colors from this collection. I had a lot of trouble with capturing the realistic colors. But the sun helped with some shades this time, so I didn’t have to adjust the colors in PS, because I really hate that. Here is a picture with all six new shades in bottles:

*****

Talent Scout: nice cold toned grape purple shade. Very pigmented, so one coat is enough. The first second I saw it, it reminded me of China Glaze Grape Pop so I made a comparison. As you can see on the photo, Grape Pop is one shade darker than The Talent Scout. They are not dupes, but they are very close.

Ditch The Heels: I truly don’t know how to describe this color. It’s definitely green. I will go with medium pastel green. This is two coats.

Fun Fair: nice pastel bubble gum pink. It’s opaque with two coats.

Main Stage: medium berry color. This one looks exactly the same like Essence Very Berry. This is just one coat!

Headliner: dirty medium blue with little green undertone, but the green can’t be seen under all lights. It needs two coats for full coverage.

Access All Areas: This is very tricky color. The first photo of this polish looks like neon orange. It’s actually bright medium peachy color with orange and pink undertone. This one is so unique. It also needs two coats for full coverage.

Half of this collection is nothing special. It doesn’t have any new colors that we haven’t already seen, but the other half is quite unique. Ditch The Heels, Headliner and Access All Areas are the shades that you must have. The formula is also great. I have to give credit to Ciate for improving their formula of polishes, because they are not thick and sticky anymore so the application of the new shades was great. Bravo!

This is all for today

See you soon, Lyra *

Colurful Manicure

lyra — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:27:33 +0000

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?

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
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

Essie Art Of Spring 2010: part 2.

lyra — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:19:18 +0000

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

Essence: Cute As Hell (TE) part 1.

lyra — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 07:21:48 +0000

Najnovejša Essence Trend kolekcija se imenuje Cute As Hell in laki
res ustrezajo imenu!

Danes vam bom predstavila dva od štirih oddtenkov, in sicer
vijoličnega Date Me! in oranžnega Bad Girl

Vsi laki so pastelni oddtenki, ki so letošnjo pomlad moderni in tudi
Essence se je porudil slediti modi

Bad Girl: je pastelno oraznžen oddtenek. Nanos je rahlo težaven saj ima
lak lasnost progastega učinka, ampak je v dve slojih lepo prekirven.

Essence-Bad Girl:

Date Me!: je prelep svetlo vijoličen oddtenek. Mene spominja na svetlejšo
različico sivke. Prav tako potrebuje dve plasti.

Essence-Date me!:

Ostala dva oddtenka iz te kolekcije sta roza Not Just Cute in rumen Naugty But Nice,
ampak na žalost še nista prispela do mene. Zagotovo prideta v ponedeljek, zato bom
ju komaj takrat poslikala

ESSIE: The Art Of Spring Collection 2010 – Minies

lyra — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:22:50 +0000

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
Kupila bom še manjkajoča oddtenka Neo-Whimsical in Van D’Go, da bo moja
zbirka popolna

SINFUL COLORS – Color scare + Konad

lyra — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 06:25:10 +0000

Ko sem si delala to manikuro je prišlo ven čisto drugače kot sem si zamislila
Ko sem si Sinful lakec namazala po vseh nohtih me je kr streslo, saj je na mojih nohtkih
zgledalo katastrofalno.
Njegovo ime je dokaj dobro opisalo moje počutje po nanosu

Po tem sem si ga zmatirala z Essie-Matte about you, ampak mi še vedno ni bilo všeč.
Nato sem čez oddtisnila vzorček iz Konad plate m65 in rezultat je bil super! Ampak ker sem šla čez z
nadlakom g2g je Sinful lakec spet postal glossy in rezultat mi je bil še bolj všeč.
In nastala je tale nora manikura:
