I’ve been wearing different color combinations of ruffian manicure for the entire week. Here is a silver/blue combination. I used Essence Rock’n’Roll for the base and then go over with Deborah 03 Mat, which is dark navy blue matte shade.

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* :)

Hello!

This is a manicure which I’m wearing at the moment. The base is Essence Pointbreak, and the roses are stamped with Essence Romeo. I used Konad image plate m65.

Have a nice time!

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!

Hello ladies!

Here is another french manicure that I wore some days ago. I colored the tips with China Glaze Grape Pop from Up&Away collection. This one is very great for tips, because is good pigmented and it colored the tips with first layer. The silver line is made with NYX Ink Silver Glitter.
The flower shaped glitter and rhinestones on the ring finger are from Essence.

Thanks for looking!

Hello everyone!

Today I will show you manicure, that I made a while ago. It’s a different kind of french manicure.
I used NYX Ink tip painter – Black and Essence Tip PainterSilver Surfer for tips. I wear it like this for a day, but then I added Konad design from image plate s9 and put pink rhinestones in the middle of flowers.

 

 

 

 What do you think?

Nail polishes from Essence Be A Nail Artist collection are really great. There are three pairs
of twins – each pair has a base and a transparent glitter topper which goes well with the base. Two of the bases are creamy and the third is
shimmer that has just a little bit of frost finish.
The formula is awsome! They are well pigmented, and the application is verry smooth.
I liked all the base colors, but when I added glitter toppers I was blown away!
Yes, I like glitter :)

****

Thelma & Louise: this pair I like the most. The finish result is just stunning.

Thelma is really, really dark eggplant creme purple shade. It’s opaque in two coats.

Louise is clear base with little light pink glitter and there are also bigger light pink and
pink squares mixed in it.

 

****

Romeo & Juliet: oh I’m in love with this book and the twin-set polises are also nice. But I think there is
no polish that can match the love of Romeo and Juliet :)

Romeo is dark grey color with tiny silver shimmer. I like darker shades of grey so this is perfect.
It’s a little bit frosty, but really just a little. It’s opaque in one coat!

Juliet is clear base with little holo glitter and bigger square holo glitter.

 

****

Joe & Victory: a gorgeous base color and the glitter topper is also nice. The ending
result is verry pretty.

Joe is beautifull red based purple shade on the warm side. Here are two coats.

Victory is clear base with lavender holo glitter and squares mixed in it.

Wich twin set is your favourite? Mine is definitley Thelma & Luise :)
Have a nice time! Thank you for reading :)

LCN-264 + Konad

posted by lyra

Ta lak mi je poslala Gani. Hvala! =)))
Je moj prvi LCN lak in nosi številko 264 (Grrrrrr, še ena znamka, ki ne poimenuje
lakov)

LCN-264 je temno sivo-srebrna shimmrasta barva, z dodatkom temno vijolične.
Res prekrasen odtenek :D Nanaša se lepo, potrebuje 2 sloja.

Edino kar mi ni všeč, je čas sušenja. Po 10 minutah sem izbirala lake za Konad
in sem en noht rahlo butnila in je barva šla čisto dol :/

Ampak vseeno mislim da se je splačalo malo dlje čakat, saj je res prekrasen odtenek!

LCN-264:

 

Za Konad sem tokrat uporabila plate m3 in m42, ter China glaze-Metallic Muse lak.
Nastalo je tole:

Glam rock omejena kolekcija je bila aktualna že doooolgo časa nazaj ;)

Ko sem pri Parokeetkah videla swatche Essence-Glam Rock omejene
kolekcije, sem se skoraj zjokala, saj sem vedela da teh lakcev nebom nikoli
mogla nosit na svojih nohtih :(

Predvsem sem se zaljubila v oddtenek Gothic Girl in Metal Babe.

Presenetila me je dobra vila Goga, ki je videla da si lakce želim in mi je priskočila
na pomoč. To ji bom večno hvaležna! :D

Ko sem videla da sta v paketku (zraven ogromno drugih lakov), meni ljuba oddtenka
sem dobesedno skakala od veselja! Jupiiii =)))

Danes sem si nanesla oddtenek Metal babe, ki je holografske srebrne barve.
Potreboval je dva sloja.

Essence-Metal Babe:

 

Na vrh sem oddtisnila še vzorček iz Konad plate m78 z Konas special polish black.

****

Še preden sem si skrajšala nohte, sem imela Gothic Girl že na sebi in sem
ga tudi poslikala :)
Gothic Girl je črn holografski oddtenek … enostavno prekrasen in čisto
po mojem okusu. Na sliki sta prav tako 2 plasti :)

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 ;)
