Hi everyone!
The new trend edition from Essence is on the horizon! It will be available on the shelves from December 2010 and it’s called Fairytale. As you can imagine this collection sparkles a lot 
In the collection there are as usual the nail polishes, eye shadows, lip glosses and eyeliners. I made some swaches of polishes, lip glosses and eyeliners I have to say that I really like the design on the packaging – fairies, butterflies and flowers.
******
POLISHES: there are six polishes in this collection. Polishes are sparkling and they have shimmery foil-like finish. When I saw the promo picture I wasn’t exited about any shade. They just didn’t seem special but when I tried them on, I liked at least three of them. The formula is ok, I didn’t have any problems with application.
Fairy Berry: is a warm toned purple color with a lot of silver shimmer, which gives the polish that foil finish. Two coats are needed for full coverage. On the index finger is Essence Bubble Bubble from Into The Ocean TE.
Humpty Dumpty: this one is one of my favorites. It’s gray color with splash of purple and with loads of silver shimmer. I love it! It takes two coats for full coverage.
Once Upon A Time: this one is the only one that doesn’t have a foil-like finish. It’s medium red jelly base with red and gold glitter that give the polish a lot of depth. It’s similar to China Glaze Ruby Pumps but it’s not a dupe. It’s opaque in two coats.
Pixie Dust: nude color with hint of pink and a lot of silver shimmer. It’s nice, subtle polish which is opaque in three coats.
Tinka’s Dress: peachy orange color with silver shimmer. Another nice and soft shade which is opaque in three coats.
Welcome To The Wonderland: is a light lavender color with a lot of silver shimmer. I like this one on my nails. Needs three coats for full coverage.

LIP GLOSSES: there are three lip glosses in Fairytale collection.
Fairy berry: light purple base with purple shimmer
Once Upon a time: red jelly color
Pixie Dust: clear base with multicolor shimmer

Have a nice time!

Deborah Sense Tech 100% MAT 02 is a peachy light rose color. I like the finish because it’s not so matte as regular matte polishes. It gives it a more plastic look.
I was remembering my first attempt with Konad, it was a long time before I started writing this blog. My first attempt was with white buttons on purple base 
It looked like that:
So I decided that I will use button pattern again – today! I used Konad white polish and Manhattan 43K for stamping. Konad image plates are m16 and m56. I also added Essence nail stickers called Sweet Romance and some silver glitter with NYX Ink Nail art.
Have a nice day! Lyra
Hi!
Today I have swaches of polishes, from another Essence Collection called ”We Saw It First”. There are four polishes in these collection. The formula of polishes is great, I didn’t have any problems with application. They all need two coats for full coverage. They are also well pigmented so they can be used for stamping
Absolutely Stylish: is dark brown shade with less visible green and red glitter mixed in it. Nice shade, great for autumn.
Lime Up!: perfect Shrek color. I really don’t like this shade on my nails. This one is dupe of OPI Who The Shrek Are You? I’ll never wear this polish (maybe just for Halloween if I’m Fiona 
)
Movie Star: Darker gray shade. This one is my favorite from the collection.
What Do You Think?: peachy coral creamy shade. This one is also nice.
I’ve done some Konading with Movie star and Konad image plate m81.
Which one is your favorite?

This manicure is verry simple, but nice. I used Essie Van D’go for base and then I decided to add a bit of glitter to the tip of my nails with Nubar Tiara. I like the finish look and I think it looks good on me
What do you think?

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 *
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
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
