Finally, it works! A new KOTD, swap polish and guest nails

Hey, dear readers:)

A quick post today, only to show you I'm still there;)

A friend of mine came to visit and I did her nails with another swap polish, Careline 309 (bright shimmery pinkish-white polish, though the pink isn't really visible here), which I applied in 2 coats and then stamped with konad im m36 and m36-1 and special nail polish in black. Then I added 1 coat of Poshe fast drying top coat. Pictures were taken indoors with artificial light and flash.

What do you think? It's totally simple, but she liked it a lot.

EDIT: I've changed the pic, and now it works :)

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

Red&White lily konad

Yeah, it's FRIDAY:) I'm really excited and looking forward to the weekend!

Today's KOTD post will be a really short one. Over yesterday's NOTD I used Konad special nail polish in white and konad im 36 and 36-1.

Hope you like it:P

On to today's NOTD, it's again a polish a got from my swap with Tuli:) I know I'm being a bit annoying wit repeating myself, but I can't thank her enough for sending me a bunch of these gorgeous polishes, thus there are so many polishes I can swatch right now:) Here's Careline 335, a bright and timeless red, great application, a 2-coater,  and 1 coat of Poshe Fast drying topcoat.

Please excuse the bad quality of the pics, I was in a hurry.

Mattified and konaded, could I ask for anything more:)

Hey, you Lovelies:)

And good morning to you all! It's again a beautiful day outside, and I'm waiting for my BF to come home from night shift.

Today's KOTD is yesterday's manicure with Careline 355 which I mattified with China glaze Matte magic and I'm so satisfied with the result I cannot tell:) Love the smoothness and the velvet effect it gives to the polish. This is also my first real matte top coat.

But I did not stop at mattifying, huh:D I had to put a konad over it, what else;) I used konad image plate m73 and China glaze Passion for gold stamping.

The pictures are taken in my lightbox with artificial light.

What do you think of the matte effect and the konadicure? Yay or nay?:)

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

Swap polishes: Careline 355

Hey,

looking forward to the weekend?:) I surely am!

Today's polish for you is one of the many I got from lovely Tuli in our polish swap. It's Careline 355, burgundy red colour with copper shimmer, which is more evident in the bottle than on the nails, though it's still a gorgeous colour,  but as you know I'm a sucker for reds and purples:)

The application was great, it was really easy to handle the brush, these pictures are not precleaned, I think I applied it quite nicely:) It's a 2 coater over Nailtek f.2, you could get away with only 1 thicker coat, but for extra depth I added the 2nd one. There's also 1 coat of Poshe Fast drying top coat in the pictures. The pictures were taken in my light box with artificial light, with and without flash.

What do you think of the colour?

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

Swap with Tuli, lots and lots of polishes:)

Not so long ago, my fellow blogger and dear friend Tuli from Tuli's Nail Polishes&stuff  and I decided to do a polish exchange or just swap:) Check her post on the swap;) I have to say that was also my very first swap, have never done it before, so I was super excited about it.

We agreed to swap 5 polishes and some other goods. So imagine how I was surprized when I received a large or better to say huge package from her. She sent me 9, omg couldn't believe my eyes when I've opened the package, different polishes. Everything she sent me was packed in the cutest box on Earth, Betty Boop, see it under the post.

The second picture gives you all the stuff she sent me, from nail care accesories, eye shadow, and of course sweets and other goodies from her country. No sweets are left, I must admit, my BF and I ate everything, and it was delicious:P

On to the polishes; Tuli sent me as I said whole 9 polishes, wow! The polishes on the 3rd picture are from left to right  Andrea 15 (gorgeous lilac colour), Jade 356 (amazing dark purple with purple and pink shimmer, reminds me a bit of Essie Sexy divide), Jade 361 (I think it's duochrome dusty shimmery pink and taupe, mauve, don't know how to describe it, as it's so great!), Chic 268 (very dark almost black  creme purple, eggplant colour).

On the last pictures there are Careline 309 (very light pink with silver glitter), Careline 355 (burgundy red colour with copper shimmer), Careline 335 (bright timeless classic red), Jade 352 (berry cream), and Jade 315 (bright red with gold, pink shimmer).

Tuli has chosen just the right colours for me, as though I would have done it myself. Thank you so much, you're a true sweetheart and I'm looking forward to doing another swap:*

All of the colours look simply amazing! I'll post the swatches tomorrow, as my camera and I weren't on good terms today:)

I would also like to inform you, if you don't know yet, she is having a GREAT Valentine giveaway going on. Check her blog for more details:) Prizes are to die for<3
