Shiny and matte french NOTD

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

No long words, just mostly pictures of the manicure ;)

I had to play with Zoya Harlow (matte version and glossy version) a bit more, so I decided to go for matte french tips for which I used the same polish.

Not sure if I like the end result, how about you?

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

An attempt at ruffian manicure - matte&glossy Savita

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Finally Friday:P

First I would like to say that this manicure looked much better IRL, the different effects were better visible but the camera just could capture it. Please so enlarge the pics to see the ruffian manicure more precisely;) This was my first attempt at it, so please don't be harsh on me;)

The base for this manicure was yesterday's NOTD with Zoya Savita. For the glossy part I used 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat, and the lines were painted with free hand, no stencils or alike.

How do you like the manicure? What do you think of the ruffian? Like it or not?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you a nice and polished weekend:*

The D-day and farewell KOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

I haven't forgotten you, hope you haven't forgotten me either;) As you're reading this I'm on my way to take my final exam, the biggest of them all, so keep your fingers crossed for me *hug* After the exam I'm headed right to the seaside to take my long desired vacation, hurray! I'll be back in forthnight with lots of new pictures and manicures, and of course konadicures;)

SO here's the manicure I did for the exam, I did not want to go for bold and vivid colours, so what else to choose than a classic french manicure:) I used over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 1 coat of Petites color in Fairy pink (a lovely sheer holographic pink shade) which I got in the swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered lizard! After that I used the french pattern on konad im m19 and konad special nail polish in white, then I added another coat of Fairy pink and sealed everything with one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure? Like it or not? Where are you spending your summer holidays? What polish are you going to wear?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you nice days, lots of fun and polished nails:*

Lilac and purple KOTD

 I fell so spring-like:) The snow has started to melt around here, and flowers have begun to burst from the ground, it's really getting warmer. I just wonder if there is going to snow again, because I have a feeling the winter is not over yet.

On to today KOTD, over yesterday's NOTD with Andrea 15 I added a konad with m69 and Konad special nail polish in Violet pearl, then I applied 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat.

I really like the colour combination, I'm just a sucker for these 2 colours:)

How about you?

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

ps. I've already taken pics of some goodies for my 300+ giveaway, I think I will post them tomorrow;)

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:*

Ruby-silver-diamond konadicure for New Year

Here's a konadicure I am going to wear to celebrate the coming year:) I just could not resist using China glaze Ruby pumps as the base, this is truly an awsome festive polish that keeps you starring at your nails all the time;) There are two coats in the pictures. After painting my nails in ruby red I stamped them with China glaze Millenium and fauxnad image plate P16, which is becoming my new favourite, but I have to tell that I finally received the snowflake image plate from konad, yay! Well that's not the only ip I got, there were 5 more in the package, pics are coming next year, haha;) Then I added clear rhinestones from Essence and applied INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure?? Do you like it? What's your favourite colour for New Year's celebration? What are you going with? Simply polish or some konad or nail art?

Dear readers and commenters, wish you all the BEST in the year to come, and a BIG thank for following, reading and commenting, it really means a lot to me:* Have a happy and polished year, KISSES from

Black&White-Dragon-KOTD

Yesterday I did a konadicure to a friend of mine who came to visit. She loves chinese and japanese culture, so she a dragon to be stamped on her nails.First I painted the nails with 1 coat of OPI Alpine snow over 1 coat of Essence Ridge filler and then painted 1 half with China glaze Liquid leather. Afterwards I stamped the dragon with Konad Special nail polish in white and fauxnad image plate H22. For extra shine I added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat. Do you like the combination? What do you think of it? Thank you dear readers and commenters, nice and polished day to all:*

Arabesque-KOTD

Here I present you the konadicure over yesterday's NOTD:) I chose for stamping my new konad image plate m64 and E.L.F. Coral, afterwards I added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat. As you can again see, this polish is really great for konad nail art. Do you like the combination of colours and the motive? Would you wear it yourself? Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day*

KOTD with a cup I got for 3rd place in national championships:) It was really handy for photograph with, haha

Twirly french KOTD

A new day, a new konadicure:) A friend of mine came to visit and I did her a rather different french manicure. Over 1 coat of Essence ridge filler I applied 2 coats of Oriflame French manicure in Morning dew and painted the tips with S-he 468 and then stamped it with the image from m56 and Konad special nail polish in white. Then I added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor. Do you like it? Would you wear it? Thank you for reading and commenting, have a nice and polished day:*

There are 2 coats f Aura 806 Good night over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. and 1 coat of INM OutTheDoors top coat. What do you think of the polish? Do you like it or not? Would you wear it?
