I can say that Catrice Bloody Marry To Go is my current favorite red polish. It’s that classic kind of red color that suits anyone. It has a jelly finish. The application is like poetry. I really love it. It needs two coats for full coverage. 

 

Which is your favorite red polish?

Hi guys!

Today I will show you OPI mini collection called Delites To Darks and it contains four different shades. I have no clue why I bought this collection. The colors are nice, but I already have some similar polishes in my arsenal. Only the Bubble Bath is a new shade, which I didn’t have so far.

Baby It’s ”Coal” Outside: black polish with loads of silver shimmer. It needs two coats for full coverage.

Manicurist of Seville: deep redish vine color. Also two coats.

Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie: girly light pink shade. the finish of this one is frosty. It’s opaque in two coats.

Bubble bath: very light, milky shade with slightly touch of pink. I know it’s nothing special, but I love it! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. I’m definitley getting the big bottle of this one.

And witch one is your favourite?

Yummy Gummy polish is from an old Essence Jelly Baby TE. I realy like the jelly finish. The color is something between red and pink – a great shade for summer. It is opaque in two coats.

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?

OMG! OMG! I got the whole new Essence Trend Edition – Eclipse. It is inspired by the latest movie of Twilight Saga Eclipse. I was so excited when I heard that essence came out with an entire collection about it. And of course like a true Twilight fan I had to have it. I have to warn you, that this post is pic heavy.

Eclipse Trend Edition:

 

*****

POLISHES: there are five shades in this collection.

Undead?: is jelly black base with purple glitter mixed in it. I was a little afraid that the glitter won’t be seen on the nails, but it’s not like that. I can’t tell you how much I love this shade. It needs two coats for full coverage.

 

Thrsty?: is a really dark jelly red shade. It’s like blood. I love it! There are also two coats.

 

Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me: is medium berry shade with purple shimmer in it. It’s opaque in two coats.

 

Hide Bella Hide: is frosty metallic silver shade. I was expecting trouble with application, but it was easy. It needs also two coats.

 

Ready To be Bitten?: hell yes I’m ready! ;) I’m joking a little bit. This shade is also nice. It’s sheer nude shade with rose undertone, but it is shimmer that is special. It looks like it has melted glass in it. Lovely color. This one needs three coats for full coverage.

*****

LIP-GLOSSES: There are four lip-glosses in this collection. I just swatched three of them on my lips, the black one however doesn’t look interesting on the lips.

 

Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me lip-gloss: is nice light purple shade with pink, blue and silver slitter mixed in it. Glitter is not too big, so you can’t feel it on the lips.

 

Ready To Be Bitten lip-gloss: this one is really nice. Clear base with loads of silver, blue and pink glitter in it. It makes your lips sparkle.

 

Lunch At Cullen’s: oh I love the name! And the gloss it’s also beautiful. It’s like China Glaze Ruby Pumps on the lips. Red jelly base with a lot of red glitter mixed in it. My lips are not made for red color, I should use a lip-liner.

*****

DUO EYESHADOWS: there are three duo eye-shadows in this collection. I didn’t swatch them, I just took a close up picture of them. The colors look nice, but I hear that they are hard. So the base or the wet application is necessary. I also love the naming of them :)

 

DIAMOND POWDER: it’s called Too Beautiful To Be True. It’s most silver, but you can also find some gold shimmer in it. This one is perfect if you want your skin to look like Edward on sunlight. You can use it on body or face. This one is also recommended to apply wet. I will save this one for New Year’s Eve.

So, this is it. What do you think about this collection?
Have a nice Twilight day! Lyra* :)

Pred časom me je kontaktirala Maja iz spletne trgovine licila.si in mi poslala dva Barry M laka, da ju preizkusim. Seveda sem ponujeno z veseljem sprejela.
Dobila sem dva oddtenka: Coral (Koralna ) in Burgundy ( Burgundsko rdeča).

Coral: Gre za lepo poletno koralno barvi, ki ima pod nekatero svetlobo v sebi nekaj pink podtona, ki pa ga nažalost moj fotoaparat ne zaznava. Lak ima krem finish, ki je zadnje čase moj najljubši. Potreboval je dva sloja, za popolno prekrivnost.

 

Burgundy: ta oddtenek je sicer bolj primeren za hladnejše dni, ampak jaz sem nasplošno vanpy fan tako da bo prišel na vrsto tudi v tem času :) Gre za temno rdeč lak z ogromno finega vijoličnega shimmra kar mu da bolj vijoličen ton. Je zelo dobro pigmentiran, tako da bi bil primeren tudi za Konad, ampak vseeno potrebuje dva sloja za lepo končni videz.

 

Nasplošno mi je mazljivost lakov zelo všeč. Oba se super nanašata. Krivino ob kožici sem naredila brez problemov, saj se čopič zelo lepo prilagaja. Cena je prav nizka za takšno kvaliteto: 4.45€. Zagotovo si še kakšnega nabavim.

For my international readers: this post is in Slovene, because Barry M polishes were sent to me by Maja from a new Slovenian online store Licila.si. I got Coral and Burgundy shades.
I love both shades and they apply perfectly. They are both opaque in two coats. If you haven’t tried this brand yet, you really should! I’m impressed.

Bye Bye

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 :P

Until that, have a nice time! –Lyra*

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!!
