Water marbling with Zoya Lana

Hi, dear readers and followers:)

Today's post is going to be short and picture heavy, hope you don't mind;)

I did a water marbling over Zoya Lana (fully swatched HERE) with Jade 315 and China glaze Passion, and I did it only over 2 nails on each hand, just to add something extra to my manicure.

What do you think of the combination? Would you wear it yourself?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished Friday and of course the weekend:*

Hey, and good morning dear readers!

I'm glad it's Friday and that it'is Easter ahead of us, one day more to relax;) Wishing you all who celebrate it, a nice and peaceful holiday:*

For today's KOTD I used yesterday's NOTD with Jade 352 and Konad special nail polish in white and im m71 with lace and little bows on it. I dont't know if it could be called french manicure? What do you think?

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

Berry delight or Jade 352 NOTD - quicky but loaded with pics:)

Hey, dear readers:)

How are you today? Which colour are you wearing?

Today's post is going to be a short one, the polish used is again one of the polishes I received in my swap with lovely Tuli. It's Jade 352, creamy berry colour, though the pics don't show the whole beauty of it. I had no problems with application, great pigmentation, there are 2 coats in the pictures and 1 coat of INM OutTheDoors topcoat. All pics except the last one were taken in my lightbox with artificial light, the last one was taken indoors with flash.

Do you like the colour? It's one of my favorites. Thank you, Tuli:*

Have a nice and polished day, dear readers and commenters:*

Purple and holo combo KOTD - picture heavy

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Today's post is going to be a bit more picture heavy and with less words in it, hope you don't mind;) Over yesterday's NOTD with Jade 356, for more colour accurate pics see the previous post. I used China glaze OMG, my fav holo stamping polish:) and Konad image plate m57, the leopard print. As you can see I'm in the wild mood these days;)

No top coat in the pictures, as I have the feeling it kills the holo effect a bit. The first three pics were taken indoors with flash, fourth and fifth in my ligthbox with artificial light and no flash, and the last one in the sun.

Hope you like the konadicure:) I really like it myself.

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

Another swap polish - you gotta see this one:) purplelicious goodness

Good morning,

it's FRIDAY:) How cool is that;)

I've got another polish from my swap with lovely Tuli  for you. This time it is Jade 356, a truly gorgeous dark purple polish with pink and purple shimmer in it. I just LOVE it! Tuli, thanks:*

There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, no problems in application.There's also one coat of INM OutTheDoors topcoat. The first pics were taken in my lightbox with artificial light. I have to say that I kind of a managed to capture the true colour, though you all know purple are real PITA to photograph. The last two photos were taken in sunlight.

What more is there to say, then I really adore this beauty:)

What about you? Do you like it? Have any similar shades to it?

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

Swap polish Jade 361, a duochrome?? warning: picture heavy;)

 Hey,

hope you had a great weekend and are now full of new energy for the coming work week:) I spent a great weekend with my BF in spa centre, amazing:P

Today I present you another polish from my swap with Tuli, it's Jade 361 (an amazing colour for which I think it's duochrome, and these pictures don't do it justice, it looks even more amazing IRL). If I try to describe the colour, I could say it's dusty shimmery pink and taupe, or mauve, don't know, this colour leaves me wondering on how to describe it, just as I've tried to capture it on camera. I wore this polish when we went skiing in Austria, please excuse me a bit white tips, as I wore it almost a week and there was not chipping or anything like that. There are 2 coats in the pictures, and application was great. At the end I've added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat.

How would you describe the colour? Do you think it's duochrome or not? What do you think of it?

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

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
