Wild purplelicious flowery konadicure

Hello, dear readers:)

Today I'm showing off my latest konadicure:P I absolutely love this one *big heart* The base is Color club Wild at heart, fully swatched HERE. Then I used im m73 and another Color club polish Worth the risque, and it works really great. Though in the pics it is not as clearly visible, but IRL it is much more precise.

Hope you like it as much as I do:)

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Color Club Wild at heart swatch - pics heavy!

Hey, dear readers:)

How are you today?

I have my first Color Club nail polish in full swatch for you, and I'm sure you already know this beauty. It's Wild at heart, gorgeous purple loaded with holographic shimmer. It covers really great, perhaps 1 coat would do, but I added a second one to achieve more depth of the colour. As there was no sun outside I took pics inside my lightbox with artificial light.

Please excuse me, I just couldn't help myself and took an enormous amount of pics I would like to share with you and show you how amazing this polish is. Enlarge the pictures to see the whole beauty of it:)

I must say I really love this polish, amazing colour, great application and coverage. A small minus is that the tips were visible really fast, otherwise no problems at all, also no chipping.

Do you share my love for it?:)

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

A quicky post and a classic combination

Hello, dear readers:)

A quick post today and with guest nails. As I've made this manicure a while ago, I somehow cannot remember which red polish I used:) but the image plate is m51 and the design is stamped with Konad special nail polish in white and then I added 1 coat of Poshe Fast drying topcoat.

I always love the red and white combination, how about you??

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Color club Worth the risque vs. China glaze OMG, Wild at heart vs. LOL - A comparison

Hey, dear readers:)

Hope you're having a great time at weekend. I'm so glad the holidays have started:)

As promised, here's the comparison of Color club Worth the risque and China glaze OMG. Both are silver holographic nail polishes, before I got the CC I thought I don't need it, but how wrong was I:D Both polishes are great, the application is flawless, the drying time is a bit better with CG OMG than with Worth the risque, but the holo effect is much better visible in OMG. Worth the risque has great coverage, perhaps one thicker coat would do whereas with OMG you need 2 coats to get the ful opacity. Both work great with konad, though the Worth the risque works a bit better for me.

As with Wild at heart and LOL I also asked myself whether is reasonable to have two purple holo polishes, and the answer is definetely YES:D Those two are never dupes, you have to have them both. Again, the holo effect is better visible in LOL, but the colours are different. Wild at heart is much darker than LOL, and Wild at heart covers in 1 coat, whereas LOL needs 2 but its drying time is a bit faster than with Wild at heart. Have to try them both on how they work with konad.

All the swatches on the colour wheel are 2 coats of each polish. The first picture which is also more colour accurate was taken in my lightbox with artificial light and flash. The second one indoors with flash.

Conclusion: I think you need them all, huh:D

Do you own which of the four polishes? Would you like to have some of them?

Hello and good morning, dear readers,

today's post is going to be a really short one, less talking more swatching;) So I've swatches my new Color club polishes I got recently, you can find the bottle pics HERE. First pics are with 1 coat of polish, then the 3rd and 4th are with 2 coats.

Which colour do you fancy most? And which ones would you like to have?

I am going to do a comparison between China glaze OMG and Color club Worth the risque as well as CG LOL and CC Wild at heart in the next days, hope it will help decide which one to choose;)

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished Friday and of course weekend*

Merry Midnight konadicure - pastel pink over purple and m78

Hey, dear readers:)

How are you doing on this cloudy day??:) I've got a konadicure to cheer up the day, hope you'll like it;)

I used yesterday's NOTD and Konad special nail polish in pastel pink as well as im m78, one of the new plates I got in my last konad order. To add the shine, I put over all 1 coat of Poshe topcoat.

Only the first pic was taken in the lightbox with artificial light and flash, all others were taken in the sunlight without flash. It was so difficult to capture the pastel pink effect over purple, as it almost looked white. It's more and better visible in real life and it looks great as there's subtle pink shimmer in the Merry midnight.

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

OPI Merry Midnight NOTD and swatch

Hey, good morning dear readers:*

I finally have a bit more spare time:) and here's another swatch to show you. I think there's no need to introduce this polish to you, as you perhaps know it already, it's a part of OPI Holiday wishes collection. A gorgeous dark purple with shimmer and small flakies, no problems with application there's 2 coats in the picture.The pictures were taken in my lightbox with artificial light, please enlarge them to see the flakies and shimmer.

It's my one and only polish that ha got some flakies in it, though they're not super visible as in gosh rainbow and NfuOh which I'm longing for:)

Hope you like the shade:) Which are you wearing today? Do you have Merry Midnight and what do you think of it?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

My first Color club polishes - haul

Hey, dear readers:) 

I had a busy weekend, we prepared a surprize party and I made a special cake for this occasion. It was in the form of a farm tractor. If you wish I can do a post on it, but it will be picture heavy:) Let me know if you want to see it. I'm still super busy these days, but new posts are coming;)

I also got my very first Color club polishes, wow I'm super excited to try them out. A big thanks goes to Anchek from Rainbows and Blues blog! If it wasn't for her, I would never have gotten these polishes.

Do you own any CC polishes? How are you satisfied with the quality? Do you have any of the shades in the pics?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Lavender purple marble NOTD

Hello, dear readers,

how are you feeling today??

It's been quite a while since I've done a marble manicure, this was my very first one, and today is time to show you my second one:) though I think it's not a success, at least not in my opinion, it looks better in pics than in real life:) My fav is the one on ring finger.

As a base I used yesterday's NOTD with China glaze Agent lavender. For marbling I took Chic 268 and OPI Alpine snow.

What do you think of the marble? Have you tried doing it? What was the result?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

China glaze Agent lavender swatch and NOTD

Hey, dear readers,

how are you today? What polish are you wearing?

Today's NOTD and swatch is the famous China glaze Agent lavender, and I think there's no need to introduce this colour to you, as it's really well known amongst nail polish lovers:) It's a great colour for spring too.

There's 2 coats in the pics, you necessarily need 2 as one is so streaky. I also added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat to make it shinnier.

First two pics are taken in the sun and the second two in my lightbox under artificial light and are a bit more colour accurate.

How do you like the colour? Do you own this one?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

1-colour-double stamping KOTD

Good morning, lovelies:)

A quick but picture heavy post today, with yesterday's NOTD with Essence Happy holiday. For stamping I used China glaze Millenium and konad im m57. I chose the fishnet all-over design and the flowers that are on the same plate. All pics except the last one were taken in my lightbox with artificial light. The last one was taken indoors with flash.

How do you like the end result?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished start of the week:*
