Update: Polish bloggers network China glaze and Seche contest

Hey,

Thank you all, and have a nice and polished day:*

Polish Bloggers Network: China Glaze&Seche Contest (shimmery matte konadicure)

 Hey,

how was your day yesterday? Were you spoiled by yours?:)

I had a great day, too!

When I've heard about the fabolous news of partnering of China glaze and Seche to sponsor an amazing nail/nail art contest on Polish bloggers network, I was sure I just had to take part in it. So here's the manicure I've created for this contest. It's made only with China glaze products, as I, sadly, don't own any Seche products, not until now, perhaps I might get lucky in the contest *keeping my fingers crossed* :)

I've used 2 coats of China glaze Branding iron, an amazing shimmery dark red, the name suits it just perfect! Then I applied China glaze Matte magic, I'm so in love with this one <3 and it created an amazing effect, just like I would have velvet on my nails. Afterwards I've used China glaze Millenium and fauxnad image plate D02. And that's it:) Hope you like the manicure.

You can vote for your favourite one at Polish bloggers network, HERE is the link, my entry is under Np.3 Anita (KONADomania)

Thank you,

and have a nice and polished day:*
