Merry Midnight konadicure - pastel pink over purple and m78

Hey, dear readers:)

How are you doing on this cloudy day??:) I've got a konadicure to cheer up the day, hope you'll like it;)

I used yesterday's NOTD and Konad special nail polish in pastel pink as well as im m78, one of the new plates I got in my last konad order. To add the shine, I put over all 1 coat of Poshe topcoat.

Only the first pic was taken in the lightbox with artificial light and flash, all others were taken in the sunlight without flash. It was so difficult to capture the pastel pink effect over purple, as it almost looked white. It's more and better visible in real life and it looks great as there's subtle pink shimmer in the Merry midnight.

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

OPI Merry Midnight NOTD and swatch

Hey, good morning dear readers:*

I finally have a bit more spare time:) and here's another swatch to show you. I think there's no need to introduce this polish to you, as you perhaps know it already, it's a part of OPI Holiday wishes collection. A gorgeous dark purple with shimmer and small flakies, no problems with application there's 2 coats in the picture.The pictures were taken in my lightbox with artificial light, please enlarge them to see the flakies and shimmer.

It's my one and only polish that ha got some flakies in it, though they're not super visible as in gosh rainbow and NfuOh which I'm longing for:)

Hope you like the shade:) Which are you wearing today? Do you have Merry Midnight and what do you think of it?

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

My first Color club polishes - haul

Hey, dear readers:) 

I had a busy weekend, we prepared a surprize party and I made a special cake for this occasion. It was in the form of a farm tractor. If you wish I can do a post on it, but it will be picture heavy:) Let me know if you want to see it. I'm still super busy these days, but new posts are coming;)

I also got my very first Color club polishes, wow I'm super excited to try them out. A big thanks goes to Anchek from Rainbows and Blues blog! If it wasn't for her, I would never have gotten these polishes.

Do you own any CC polishes? How are you satisfied with the quality? Do you have any of the shades in the pics?

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

Lavender purple marble NOTD

Hello, dear readers,

how are you feeling today??

It's been quite a while since I've done a marble manicure, this was my very first one, and today is time to show you my second one:) though I think it's not a success, at least not in my opinion, it looks better in pics than in real life:) My fav is the one on ring finger.

As a base I used yesterday's NOTD with China glaze Agent lavender. For marbling I took Chic 268 and OPI Alpine snow.

What do you think of the marble? Have you tried doing it? What was the result?

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

China glaze Agent lavender swatch and NOTD

Hey, dear readers,

how are you today? What polish are you wearing?

Today's NOTD and swatch is the famous China glaze Agent lavender, and I think there's no need to introduce this colour to you, as it's really well known amongst nail polish lovers:) It's a great colour for spring too.

There's 2 coats in the pics, you necessarily need 2 as one is so streaky. I also added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat to make it shinnier.

First two pics are taken in the sun and the second two in my lightbox under artificial light and are a bit more colour accurate.

How do you like the colour? Do you own this one?

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

1-colour-double stamping KOTD

Good morning, lovelies:)

A quick but picture heavy post today, with yesterday's NOTD with Essence Happy holiday. For stamping I used China glaze Millenium and konad im m57. I chose the fishnet all-over design and the flowers that are on the same plate. All pics except the last one were taken in my lightbox with artificial light. The last one was taken indoors with flash.

How do you like the end result?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished start of the week:*

Essence All I want LE Happy holiday swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers:)

Hope you're enjoying the last day of the weekend;) I took a few days off, and here's another polish swatch I have for you. It's from winter's limited edition from Essence named All I want. The polish is carries name Happy holiday and it's completely opaque in 2 coats, perhaps one thicker would also do. No problems with application also, although the tipwear is pretty visible soon. The colour is berry purple with subtle blue shimmer that sometimes hints to purple too. Lovely colour though:) I also added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

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

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