Shimmering-diva-NOTD

As I'm an Oriflame consultant, I order each month something from the catalogue, and this period I ordered 2 nail polishes, first one I present you today - Shimmering diva. There are 2 coats over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, but no top coat. It' s a beautiful red shade loaded with shimmer, red, gold, bronze, which is most evident on nails, but no as much in the pictures. I have around 5 shades from Oriflame and I'm very satisfied with their quality, though the colour range is not that big. Do you have any experiences with Oriflame nail polishes? Are they available where you live? Are you satisfied with the quality? Thank you dear readers and commenters, nice and polished day to you:*

Essence-asian-KOTD

First I added 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and then 2 coats of Essence Multi dimension in 48 Chill out . Afterwards I painted a diagonal line with Oriflame Beauty Nail Colour Expert in Shimmering diva which I then stamped with s4 and E.L.F. Coral. Do you like the manicure? Would you wear it? Have any other suggestions? Thank you dear readers and commenters, nice and polished day to you:*

Winter-nail-art-contest-ENTRY

I decided to take part in Winter Nail-Art Contest hosted by Lisa (Dreamka) and her Nail Art World. The manicure I created represents winter landscape in the night or at the dawn, snowflakes are all around the scene, made with konad and with the help of China glaze Fairy dust. First I've painted the nails in China glaze Recycle, then stamped some nails first with fauxnad P16 and konad m12 and Konad special nail polish in white, yellow, red and green or painted the tips with OPI Alpine snow (how appropriate;)), afterwards I added some dots by Essence dotting tool and China glaze Liquid leather and Konad special nail polish in red. At the end I applied 1 coat of China glaze Fairy dust to create the illusion of snowflake chrystals. What do you think of it? Do you like it? Is it too much of everything?:) Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:**

100 followers, a giveaway and a haul!

What more could I ask for:) I've opened my blog on August 20th and since then the number of my followers and readers has grown over 100, wow, I've never imagined that my blog could reach this number. Only you,  my dear followers, commenters and readers enabled this, and my humble contributions of manicures and konadicures. Thank you again and hope you'll read and comment on the blog also in the future:*

GIVEAWAY

As it is almost a custom do give a giveaway when you reach a round number of followers, I won't be an exception;) I will do it to show my appreciation and thanks to all of you who take your time, read, comment on the blog; KONADomania blog would not be the same without you.

What to give and share with you if not Konad supplies, as Konad is the main reason why I started this blog anyway. I've partnered with Kathleen from OC NAIL ART who has kindly agreed to send the winner of this giveaway KONAD C SET, how cool is that:)



 

As she says: The C Kit is also a perfect way to get started and sample what you can do with Konad Stamping Nail Art! With 14 different designs on image disks M2 and M3, you also get three small special stamping polishes (red, white, and blue) along with the required stamper and scraper.

If you haven't tried Konad yet or don't own these two plates, or you're running short on white, red, blue special nail polish, or just out of fun, then take part in this giveaway:)

That is not all, here's my part:) The winner of the giveaway will also receive 2 S-he polishes and 2 Essence polishes of his/her colour choice, you will let me know which colours you prefer and I will get them for you from the regular s-he and essence polish line and ship them. You can check some colours of S-he and Essence on my blog, or other fellow bloggers from Europe (Amarena, Parokeets, Nihrida, and others), as I know these 2 brands are available only here.

Some natural products (Suki, Aubrey, John Masters) (tester size)  I'm a huge fan of.




So you can get:

- KONAD C SET
- 2 S-HE POLISHES of your colour choice
- 2 ESSENCE POLISHES of your colour choice
- TESTER-SIZE NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS (Suki, Aubrey, John Masters)
- some other stuff which I'll add during the giveaway, but most probably some local sweets or so, typical of my country, something like Gorenjka :P

Hope you like the content of the giveaway, as I'm a bit short on money these days:)

The tips I've painted in China glaze Passion and stamped with french leaf design from m56. What do you think of it? Would you wear it?

Orchid-KOTD

Here's my today's konadicure with Oriflame Long wear nail polish Orchid. There are 2 coats of it over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, but no topcoat. I stamped it with a design from fauxnad D02 and Konad special nail polish in black. I needed some colour, because the weather is not helping me too much:) Would you wear it? Do you like it? Thank you dear readers and commenters, nice and polished day to you:*

2nd part of Belgrade haul-NOTD

 Here it is, the second nail polish I bought in Belgrade during my short stay. It's again from the nail polish company Aura, the shade is named 805 Heaven. There are 2 coats over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and 1 coat of Essie g2g. It's a beautiful dark eggplant purple with subtle pink shimmer, which is no so evident on nails, but it's still there. Of course my camera could not capture the true beauty of the polish, hmm the same problem as always with purple polishes. The blurred pictures depict the beauty of the polish a bit, but still not it's true beauty in reality. Too bad that there was no sun, I have a feeling that this polish would look even more amazing in it:) What do you think of it? Have any similar polishes? Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished weekend:*

E.L.F. Plum-KOTD

Why wear only plain colour when you can have motives over your nails;) So here's today's result, a konadicure over yesterday's NOTD. There are not many flowers outside anymore, therefore I put some on my nails;) I used fauxnad C01 and China glaze Devotion, there is no topcoat over it. Do you like it? What do you think of it? Are there too many flowers;) Thank you, my dear readers and commenters, means a lot to me, nice and polished day to you:*
