Ruffian manicure with Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors - pics overload

Dear readers and followers,

how are you today? Are you also having such a lousy weather as we do here in Slovenia? It's supposed to be summer, but hey this looks like autumn or spring. Want some sunshine back!

On to the manicure:) What to do with a silver foil polish (fully swatched HERE) if not use it as a base for ruffian manicure. So I took China glaze Liquid leather and applied 1 coat over yesterday's NOTD. As you can see in the pics, Liquid leather is super glossy on itself, there isn't any top coat over it. Though the coverage isn't that good, you get full opacity with 2 coats, although there's only 1 in the pictures.

How do you like this manicure? Are you a fan of Ruffian? Have you got any favourite colour combinations? I would love to hear/ read them!

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

Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how are you? It's Wednesday already :)

Today's polish and NOTD is Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors, a silver foil polish I got in my swap with Maria from R3 Daily. It's super flashy and shiny, it's really a smoky version of silver. There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. I also added 1 coat of OPI RapiDry top coat.

Do you own any Sonia Kashuk nail polishes? This is my very first polish from this brand, and I'm loving it! What are your experiences? Do you own any similar colours?

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

China glaze Cream puff swatch and NOTD

 Hey,

how are you? Feeling as great as I do?;)

Today's nails of the day are painted with CHina glaze Cream Puff. This polish is a part of their last glitter speciality  collection. It's a peachy beige pinky colour, if that makes sense:D it is filled with small silver glitter and has a foil finish to it. The application was great, 2 coats were enough for full coverage. There's no top coat in the pictures.

The first picture isn't quite true to the colour. It was taken without artificial light and with flash, and it looks too pinky.

The second, third and fourth were taken in lightbox, with artificial light, second no flash, and the third and fourth with flash. The last two pictures also capture the true colour of the polish.

Do you like the colour or not? It could be suitable also for mannequin hands I think.

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