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:*

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:*

China glaze LOL - holographic goodness and Giveaway reminder

Hope you had a great weekend:)

A quicky today. As you know I'm a purple lover, and I also love holographic polishes, so what better way to combine my love in China glaze LOL. There are 2 coats in the picture over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, without the top coat. All pictures were taken in the lightbox with artificial light so the colours are more or less accurate.

What do you think of the colour? Enlarge the pictures to see the detail;)

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

Catrice Nude sensation LE - Attempt at Mannequin hands

 Not so long ago, the European brand named Catrice launched it's new Limited Edition Nude sensations. As I was looking for a polish similar to Essence Iced Chai Latte I stumbled across this one because it seemed similar to it. Though the shimmer is more evident in Iced Chai Latte, it is still present in Nude Beige, which is also a bit lighter shaded. While Iced Chai Latte required only 1 coat, I had to do 3 coats of Nude Beige 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 to get full coverage, at least it dried pretty quickly:)

SO here it is and I wanted to create the mannequin hands with it, decide for yourself whether I've succeeded;)

What do you think of the colour? What are your experiences with nude polishes?

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

China glaze For Audrey swatch

Finally some photos with nail polishes;) Here's one that was part of my last nail polish haul, China glaze For Audrey. It's a 1 coater over Nailtek f.2 and there's also one coat of Essie G2G topcoat. I love the colour, just don't know where to wear it to:) Any suggestions?? Black clothes would do fine, how about other colours?

Do you own this polish? What do you think of the colour?

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

First two pics were taken in the light box without flash, colour accurate

Indoors with flash, not so colour accurate

Essie Swing velvet swatch - quicky

Here's the third Essie nail polish I own, there are 2 coats in the pics over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. Top coat used over it is Essie G2G. First two pics were made under artificial light (first no flash,second flash) and the last with flash. If I were more careful I might just do one coat, but for better depth I added the second coat.  What do you think of the colour? Just another red or does it have something to it?

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

Happy New Year 2010:* and some swatches of CG C-C Courage

Hey,

hope you all had a fun and great jump into New Year 2010! I had mine, we spent the evening in a remote skiiing hut, though there was not much snow:( but we had a great time anyway. Where did you spend New Year's Eve?

Here's a polish which was part of my latest haul, namely the China glaze C-C Courage. I applied 2 coats of it over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and 1coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat. What do you think of the colour? Do you like it or not? All pictures were taken under artificial light, with and without flash, and they are quite colour accurate, the polish is a bit more purple IRL.

I've also made a konadicure I was not able to post previous year due to a virus on my computer, so here it is today:) and it's Christmas related. There are 2 coats of China glaze C-C Courage and the stamp is made with China glaze Millenium and konad image plate m12 and 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor.

Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a great and polished 2010:*

Red&gold gradient konadicure

Hey, you lovelies!

How are you? Ready for party?;) I finally got my computer back, had some viruses and other malware on it:( but now it works great:) Here's a manicure I did about a week or more ago, for the winter theme contest. I used 2 coats of E.L.F. Burgundy over I coat of Nailtek f.2. Then a used a kitchen sponge and China glaze Passion to do the gradient which I stamped again with E.L.F. Burgundy and fauxnad image plate H23. Enlarge the pics to see the detail;)

Hope you're having a great time and lots of fun in New Year, have a nice and polished rest of the old one;)

Festive french starry starry KOTD and a giveaway

This is my second attempt doing french with konad image plate, and it turned out much better than my first one:), I had no problems applying the french line on the finger tips, hurray! Over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 I painted 1 coat of Oriflame French manicure in Soft pink and 1 coat of Oriflame French manicure in Morning dew, then stamped it with Konad special nail polish in white and image plate m19.  The picture is not that sharp but you can still see the finished french manicure;)

This time of the year simply calls for more festive and glittery manicures, don't you think?;) So I used fauxnad plate D02 and again, I think I cannot go without it, China glaze Millenium. Afterwards I applied 1 coat of China glaze Fairy dust for extra glittery feeling:P. I'm really satisfied with the end result, though the manicure didn't want to be pictured so well, so please enlarge the pictures to see the details, which were more visible in real life than they are in pics. That would be all for to day, hope you like the manicure.

Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished weekend:* Merry holidays to you all and hope Santa brings you a lot of new polishes;)
