China glaze Rich&famous swatch and NOTD - pics gallore

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

It's Wednesday already, the days seem to rush when I'm at work, and the spare time is being reduced to minumum. But I like it so far;)

The polish I have for you today is China glaze Rich&Famous, a bright pink cream which was somehow difficult to photograph. The pictures taken with flash and indoors are quite colour accurate. It a great summer polish and if you want the feeling of the summer to return, try it;) There are 2 coats in the pictures, over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat. Though the colour is pretty much glossy on it self.

How do you fancy this colour? Have you got any similar ones?

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

Water marbling with Zoya Lana

Hi, dear readers and followers:)

Today's post is going to be short and picture heavy, hope you don't mind;)

I did a water marbling over Zoya Lana (fully swatched HERE) with Jade 315 and China glaze Passion, and I did it only over 2 nails on each hand, just to add something extra to my manicure.

What do you think of the combination? Would you wear it yourself?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished Friday and of course the weekend:*

Zoya Lana swatch and pic spam

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Another post from the vault, this time with another gorgeous polish I got in the swap with Maria from R3Daily. It's Zoya Lana from the Reverie collection.

I'm sure you've seen it somewhere on the blog sphere. It's reddish orange coloured polish with great duochrome shimmer that changes colour from gold to green. Hope the pictures show it well, this pretty was a bit difficult to photograph.

There are 3 coats in the pictures, except in the first 2, where there are only 2 coats. You can get away just with 2, but I added another one to achieve more depth. There's also 1 coat of INM OuttheDoor top coat over it.

Do you own any polishes from the Reverie collection? What do you think of them?

How do you like this colour?

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

ps. I'm preparing a small giveaway (and then a large one when I hit 700 followers and to celebrate the first anniversary;)

Summer memories and summer pedicure with Ulta3 Hot spring

Hi,

dear readers and followers:)

How are you doing on this rainy and gloomy day?? Here in Slovenia the level of water has risen a lot, and there is high flood risk. I just hope everything will be ok and pray for those who live near streams and rivers.

So on this lausy day I've been looking at the pictures of the sea vacation and found this summer pedicure I wore at that time. It is such a nice and summery colour. I used Ulta3 Hot spring (a rich berry fuchsia cream) which I got in the swap with Michelle from Cosmetic and cupcake. It took only one coat to reach the full opacity which is great, especially for a pedicure:) then I added 1 coat of OPI RapiDry.


Thank you, dear readers and followers:*


Wishing you a nice and polished weekend!

What do you think of the end result? Yay or nay?

Chameleon: Alessandro 261 swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

The manicure I have for you today is a true chameleon, it switches colours from green, blue to purple, depending on the light and angle. I wasn't able to capture its beauty perfectly, but still here are the shots. The pretty's name is Alessandro 261 and it was apart of their Vamp collection, released in 2009. There are 2 coats in the pictures with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat over it.


How do you like the colour? DO you own any Alessandro nail polishes? What are your experiences with them?

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

Double stamping - KOTD with m57 and m78

Hello, dear readers and followers,

are you having such a bad weather as I? Rain and nothing but rain, want summer back and sun:)

So today I'm showing you a konadicure I did while being in Mali Lošinj, and it reminds me of great time spent there. The polish used is China glaze Aztec orange, full swatched HERE.

First I used Konad special nail polish in black and konad image plate m57, then I added butterflies with m78 and Color club Worth the risque. In the end I also applied one coat of INM OutTheDoor fast drying top coat.

What do you think of the manicure? Do you like it?


Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you a nice and polished Sunday:*
