Swap with Tuli, lots and lots of polishes:)

Not so long ago, my fellow blogger and dear friend Tuli from Tuli's Nail Polishes&stuff  and I decided to do a polish exchange or just swap:) Check her post on the swap;) I have to say that was also my very first swap, have never done it before, so I was super excited about it.

We agreed to swap 5 polishes and some other goods. So imagine how I was surprized when I received a large or better to say huge package from her. She sent me 9, omg couldn't believe my eyes when I've opened the package, different polishes. Everything she sent me was packed in the cutest box on Earth, Betty Boop, see it under the post.

The second picture gives you all the stuff she sent me, from nail care accesories, eye shadow, and of course sweets and other goodies from her country. No sweets are left, I must admit, my BF and I ate everything, and it was delicious:P

On to the polishes; Tuli sent me as I said whole 9 polishes, wow! The polishes on the 3rd picture are from left to right  Andrea 15 (gorgeous lilac colour), Jade 356 (amazing dark purple with purple and pink shimmer, reminds me a bit of Essie Sexy divide), Jade 361 (I think it's duochrome dusty shimmery pink and taupe, mauve, don't know how to describe it, as it's so great!), Chic 268 (very dark almost black  creme purple, eggplant colour).

On the last pictures there are Careline 309 (very light pink with silver glitter), Careline 355 (burgundy red colour with copper shimmer), Careline 335 (bright timeless classic red), Jade 352 (berry cream), and Jade 315 (bright red with gold, pink shimmer).

Tuli has chosen just the right colours for me, as though I would have done it myself. Thank you so much, you're a true sweetheart and I'm looking forward to doing another swap:*

All of the colours look simply amazing! I'll post the swatches tomorrow, as my camera and I weren't on good terms today:)

I would also like to inform you, if you don't know yet, she is having a GREAT Valentine giveaway going on. Check her blog for more details:) Prizes are to die for<3

What's better than 1 holo?? 2-holo konadicure and 300 followers:*

Hello, Ladies!

How are you doing? Having freshly painted nails;)

First, I would like to thank you, my dear readers and followers, for staying with me and giving all your wonderful comments to my posts. I read every one of them and try to answer, even if it's simple thank you to show my gratitude to you.  It so great to see that you're read and welcomed in the blogger sphere. When I've first started to write a blog, I really did not think that it could have as many 300 followers. Thank you again:*

Do you have any suggestions for a giveaway? There will certainly be a konad related prize in it. How about other things? What would you like to see/get?:) There will certainly be polishes, mainly Essence and S-he, perhaps also of some other, here available, brands. Would you like pre-set colours? Or the ones you choose? The prize will also include products that are my favourite ones;) I'm open to your suggestions.

On to today's konadicure;) I was thinking which polish to use for today's konadicure:) As LOL is holographic polish I thought why not use another holo polish for stamping, therefore I chose China glaze OMG from the same collection and image plate m69.

What do you think of the colour combination? Does the image go well together with the colours?

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

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:*

You can still enter Skin MD Natural shielding lotion giveaway, untill 24.00 today (Slovenia time).

Skin MD review and Giveaway - a bottle for YOU:)

As promised, I'm posting the review of Skin MD Natural Shielding lotion I got from Skin MD company. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now. The bottle says you can use it on the face, body and hands, so I've tried it all around my body to give a round review on it. Check their site on ingredients, every ingredient is explained in detail.

Face:

My skin type is mixed to oily, so I was a bit afraid that the lotion might encourage the outburst of acnae on my skin, but it did not, at least not more than they would normally come out:). It really absorbes into your skin in no time, without leaving a greasy feeling on it and gives the moisturized effect. I applied it in the morning and before bed time time. A small amount takes you a long way, so a bottle would be enough, if you use it only on your face, for a long long time. If your skin is oily and acnae prone, you should be careful, but if it normal or even dry, go for it!

Body:

One of the main ingredients is Aloe Vera, which is known for it's soothing effect. Therefore I used the lotion after depilating my legs. And it worked great! It calmed down the redness leaving the skin smooth.

Hands:

I just love to use it on my hands! There is no greasy feeling like with majority of hand creams, just moisturized, soft skin on your hands, although I use it only 2 times a day. The cuticles are nourished and supple.

Do you have experiences with this lotion? Would you like to try it?

There was a bottle for me and Skin MD kindly offered a bottle for you, my lovely readers and commenters!

Just be a follower and post a comment with your email:) I'll draw one (1) winner who will get her/his bottle shipped directly from Skin MD.

The giveaway ends on Monday Midnight (1st February 2010) Slovenia time.

Good luck:*
