Gold&red-snowflake-KOTD

I hold the opinion that every woman can have beautiful and well kept hands and nails, therefore I did a simple manicure and konadicure to BF's mother, who works a lot which is evident also from her hands, but still wishes to have nice and polished nails:) I used China glaze Passion and stamped it with snowflake image from fauxnad plate P16 and Konad special nail polish in red. Nothing complicated, but I like it, and so did she:) What about you? What's your opinion of this KOTD?

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

E.L.F. swatches and pinky starry french KOTD

I got some color wheels from my nail polish ''supplier'' Anchek, thank you so much:* What else could I do if not swatch yesterday's haul with e.l.f. nail polishes, as I have to admit the swatches on the paper were a bit crappy indeed:) First two pictures were taken under artificial light but no flash, the second two in natural light and flash, there was just no sun today; from left to right (from bottom to the top in the 2nd pic) there are: Sunset, Berry pink, Burgundy and Dark navy. All swatches are made with 2 coats All images can be enlarged to see the details;)

The konadicure I have for you today is made with 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, then 1 coat of Oriflame French manicure in Morning dew, the tips were painted with Opi Strawberry margharita and stamped with Konad special nail polish in white and image plate m44. There is no top coat in the pictures. What do you think of it? Do you like it? Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

Latest E.L.F. nail polish haul

After a while, I can present you my new nail polish haul from e.l.f. (Anchek, BIG THANKS), the polishes I ordered are from left to right: Sunset (don't know how to describe this one:), it has micro pink shimmer I think), Berry pink (a darker red-pinkish colour with pink and silver shimmer), Burgundy (red-brownish colour with gold shimmer) and Dark navy (very dark blue polish with micro blue shimmer), there are also some cuticle pushers and super glossy lip shine which I got for free:) The colours in the first 2 pictures are not as accurate as I took them last night. But in others they are:) Enlarge them to see the details, all polishes have shimmer. I'll also do nail swatches;) Do you have any of these polishes? Are you satisfied with the quality? Have you tried any of these colours for konad? (e.l.f. coral works amazing with it) Do you like the colours chosen?

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

Green&Silver gradient manicure

Today I'll show you a manicure I did about 2 weeks ago, but did not manage to get it posted untill now:) First, there is just a picture of the polish, it's s-he 370, I bought it for about 1€ as it went out of sale, lucky me! There is one coat of it in the picture over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, but no top coat. Afterwards, I applied with a sponge China glaze Devotion. What do you think of the end result? Do you like it? Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

Giveaway winner at Nani's Nails

Few weeks ago I took part in a giveaway hosted by lovely Natalie of the Nani's Nails and I still can't believe it, I WON:) Yeah, I was so happy when I read her post on the giveaway winner. I got the package from My lip stuff during my illness and could not do a post on it, so here it is today:) They were super quickly, thank you. I've already had to open them all to smell them, I also tried and I've been using one since then, namely the Pumpkin cream caramel and it's delicious, I could even eat it:P it's taste is great! These balms really melt on your lips and super moisturize them, and what's important they are completely natural!

Here are the ingredients as written on the package: sunflower oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, aloe vera, essential&or flavor oil.

I received 6 different balms: the other 5 flavours are candy corn buttercream, cocaramel kick, apple cider, marshmallow, and shamrock shake. My lip stuff offers balms in than 500 flavours, so each one can choose something for herself;)

Do you know these balms and have you tried them yet? What do you think of them?

Thank you dear readers, nice and polished evening to you all:*

Ruby-black KOTD

A bit of konad can't do harm to any manicure:P So here it is over China glaze Ruby pumps, made with Konad special nail polish in black and image plate m63 and 1 coat of Poshe top coat.  I wore this manicure to a karate seminar previous weekend and did not want to stand out so much with plain Ruby pumps, therefore I did a konad over it:) This konadicure lasted almost a week and almost without any chipping or tip wear, I was really amazed by this, but on the other hand I did not do a lot with my nails as I was ill:) and it was pretty exciting removing all this glitter, haha. What do you think of this konadicure? Would you wear it? Yay/nay? Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*












Here's a pic after 5 days of wear:)
