Hi!
This polish is called Boris & Natasha and it’s from the Russian Collection (2007). Boris & Natasha is burgundy reddish purple creamy color – really nice vampy polish. The application went flawlessly and it took two coats for full coverage.
OPI Boris & Natasha:
I found the inspiration for this manicure in the autumn leafs. I stamped the leaf Konad design from the image plate m31 with Konad red, yellow and green polishes. I didn’t want to overload it, so I put it just on the ring finger and thumb.
Have a nice day!

Finally I had the time to swatch China Glaze Vintage Vixen. This is just a half of the collection, because I’m still waiting for the other half. I got this from Tiffani. Thank you a lot!
And here we go.
Bogie: eggplant purple shade with multi colored shimmer. It’s vampy, sparkly and it’s NOT black. Love it!
Foxy: brownish red color with orange and red shimmer. Totally perfect for autumn.
Hey Doll: pinkish brown color with red and silver shimmer. Very unique color.
Ingrid: taupe brown with golden shimmer. I really like this one.
Jitterbug: Very dark gray shade with tons of silver shimmer. This one is very sparkling!
Swing Baby: metallic champagne color with a lot of silver glitter. It has a foil look.
The application was okay, I didn’t have any bigger problems. Only two shades (Foxy and Ingrid) are a little bit runny, but manageable. With runny I mean that I was sure I didnt have too much polish on the brush, but then suddenly a big drop came out of nowhere. All of them need two coats for full coverage and they are well pigmented. The colors are perfect for autumn and I like all of them.
Have a nice time!!

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
