Silver&violet cherry blossom stamping with H23 - Valentine perphaps?:)

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how about some stamping over OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE (fully swatched HERE).

I chose China glaze Devotion and stamping plate H23 with the cherry blossom branch on it. However, the stamped image didn't want to be photographed:D I took enormous amount of photos to get somewhat decent result.

What do you think of the combination? Would you wear it too? I think it would be great also for Valentine's day, right;)

I have also done some Valentine's manicures and pedicures so be ready to see some of them really soon.

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:*

Color club Special effects swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

wishing you a nice start into the week.

A quick post today, the polish used is Color club in the shade Special effects, a very vibrant and gloving red colour which looks almost metallic in some light. I applied 2 coats over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2.

Do you own any shade similar to this? What do you think of it?

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

My first Zoya in Isla - swatch and NOTD (ps. warning pics overload)

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

On to today's NOTD. I got this gorgeous polish in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered Lizard. It gorgeous shimmery red, the finish sometimes looks as it were metallic though it's not really. It's a 2-coater and it applied perfectly and it dried also pretty fast. I had no troubles applying it, the pics you see aren't pre-cleaned.

This is my very first Zoya nail polish I've tried and I have to say I'm so pleased with the formula and the brush! Great!

What do you think of this polish? Do you own it too? Want it? What's your favourite  Zoya nail polish?

Thank you, dear readers and followers:*













A bonus picture because the post did not consist of many :D

Hmm, pics just don't do it justice KOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Wishing you a great start into new working week:) Finally, we have sunny weather, and it's really hot here, YAY!

Today I've got a konadicure I did with konad image plate m63 and Color club Worth the risque. I just could not capture the whole image perfectly, though it was perfectly visible in person, but just not in pictures:( these were taken indoors as the weather was bad at the moment of taking them. All but first were taken in my lightbox with artificial light and flash. If you enlarge the pics, you might see the image better:)

What do you think of the combination? It has been a while since I used this image.

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

China glaze Harmony swatch - pics heavy

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Time to relax and prepare for the weekend, though mine will consist of learning, learing, and again learning. I'm in the middle of preparations for the national exam so I will be able to teach at school. I have to learn the whole law on education, human rights and children rights, the constitution, legislation and regulations for primary school, a lot of information on EU, as well as Slovene language (grammar rules, punctuation, orthography, rules for composing texts, etc). I know you will say it's boring :) But I thought I would share this with you, so you know why I don't post as often as I did before. Believe it or not, I've had the same polish for more than a week, how crazy is that??!?

But enough babbling, here's another polish I got some time ago, but haven't used it up till  now, China glaze Harmony, a part of the Romantique collection, a gorgeous purple metallic polish, I' sure you've seen it before.

There's ONLY 1 coat in the pics, how cool is that! This polish covers perfectly, and if you have enough  polish on the brush the strokes aren't that visible. It also dries quickly. And it also works great for konading, so if you have the chance, go get it.


The pictures were taken indoors inside my lightbox with flash and artificial light, if not otherwise stated.

What do you think of the colour? Do you own  it? Have any similar ones?


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

Romantique: China glaze Devotion swatch

 Hello, dear readers:)

Happy Easter to you all!

I'm sure you've seen this polish a lot of times, but this is my first time to used it for a whole manicure. Until now I've used it only for konadicures and I have to say that before I bought Millenium this polish was my number 1 stamping silver polish, here's China glaze Devotion:)

There are 2 coats in the pictures, the drying time was pretty fast, though you can see some streaks. The colour is silver lavender like, hard to capture in photos, as with flash it always looks like pure metallic silver but I assure you the lavender is clearly visible in person. The first 2 pics were taken in lightbox, first no flash and the second with it. The last picture was also taken indoors and with flash in natural light.

What are your experiences with Romantique collection? Which polishes you own? Or would like to have?

I think this one looks great, and I'm planning to add a konad to it too:)

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