HAUL: Essie, CG, OPI, LCN and IsaDora nail polish swatches

Hurray, here's my new nail polish haul. I got Essie Sexy divide, China glaze For Audrey and C-C Courage, my very first LCN 264 and IsaDora 85 Sparkling gold, as well as OPI Merry Midnight. All swatches are 2 coats, except For Audrey which is one coater. There's also no top coat. As you can see I made my own light box, hihi, it's nothing professional though, but I think it'll work just fine. Do you have one of your own? How does it work for you? All colours but Essie Sexy divide are accurate, I just could not capture it, perhaps it'll be better when I polish my nails:)

Which one is you favourite? Do you have any of these polishes at home?

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

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;)

Another festive red&silver konadicure

 Here are some guest nails again:) You know, I cannot say no when I'm asked to do a manicure/konadicure, so the result is shown in the pictures. I used 2 coats of Ruby pumps over Essence ridge filler and stamped it with konad image plate m64 and China glaze Millenium. For extra sparkle I added 1 coat of China glaze Fairy dust, and we were both very pleased with the result, my friend and I:) Though it was difficult to capture it in the pictures, so I apologize for not that good pics. How do you like the konadicure?

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

Essence-Verry-berry-KOTD

I just had to do a konadicure over yesterday's NOTD, can you blame me;) I used fauxnad plate H22 and China glaze Devotion. It was quite difficult to capture the image on photographs as it reflects the flash. On to the pictures then:) All were taken indoors with artificial light and flash, I had to photograph this manicure with my new IKEA slippers, as the colours are almost a match. Do you like the combination? Do you think it's appropriate for this time of the year? Is it festive or rather not?

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

NOTD Essence SYF Verry berry

Just a quick post, as I'm on the run to work:) I fell in love with this beautiful shade from Essence Show your feet collection named Verry berry. The application was great, I'm really satisfied:) There is one coat in picture over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, but no top coat. Do you like it too?:)

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

Festive red&silver KOTD

Over the weekend I did another manicure to a friend of mine who came to visit. Over 1 coat of Essence Ridge filler I applied 2 coats of China glaze Ruby pumps, then drew a diagonal line with Essence Nail art in black and painted it whole black. Afterwards, I stamped it half snowflake image from fauxnad image plate p16 and China glaze Millenium, then I outlined it with Essence Nail art in silver and applied OutTheDoor top coat. She really liked the manicure, and so did I. What about you? Do you like it? Would you wear it yourself?
