My stash :) warning pic heavy!

Hello, dear readers and followers, long time no hear from me:)

The work requires more of me than I've thought, so sorry for the lack of post :(

In the meantime I got a new storage place for my nail polishes, they were getting so many so I needed a new home for them. I bought a red metall container in Mömax (Austria) which I placed in our living room.

The total number of all polishes is 174, not so high right;)

Let's take a look at the collection.
The first pic is the stash before I began to re-organize it.



The second pic, my french manicure polishes:


My purples:


My pinks and berries:


 
My holos:


 
My reds:


My blues and greens:


My taupes, nudes and peachy colours:


My brown, black, silver and white colours:



My Konad stamping nail polishes (plus some other rather old ones):


My other nail polishes which I use primarily for stamping:

 
There're also 2 polishes in orange and coral, though I forgot to take pics of them.
 
My new ones (ready to be swatched):
 

Polishes which I tried but I don't like them anymore:) so they're going to be sold or given away:)


My treatments and top coats with some special polishes:


My collection of treatments, top coats, konad special polishes, image plates and other stuff needed for stamping organized in the drawer:



Other polishes which need to be tried and swatched:

 
That's it,  how do you organize your polishes? By colours, brands, types or any other way??

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

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:*

Zoya Lana swatch and pic spam

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Another post from the vault, this time with another gorgeous polish I got in the swap with Maria from R3Daily. It's Zoya Lana from the Reverie collection.

I'm sure you've seen it somewhere on the blog sphere. It's reddish orange coloured polish with great duochrome shimmer that changes colour from gold to green. Hope the pictures show it well, this pretty was a bit difficult to photograph.

There are 3 coats in the pictures, except in the first 2, where there are only 2 coats. You can get away just with 2, but I added another one to achieve more depth. There's also 1 coat of INM OuttheDoor top coat over it.

Do you own any polishes from the Reverie collection? What do you think of them?

How do you like this colour?

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

ps. I'm preparing a small giveaway (and then a large one when I hit 700 followers and to celebrate the first anniversary;)

When sponge gradient meets konad (m56) - pics heavy

Hello, dear readers and followers,

yesterday I posted a swatch of Alessandro 261 (fully swatched HERE). Then I added gradient manicure on the side of each nail with China glaze Devotion and stamped it with Konad special nail polish in violet pearl and french image plate m56.

What do you think of the end result? Yay or nay?

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

Chameleon: Alessandro 261 swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

The manicure I have for you today is a true chameleon, it switches colours from green, blue to purple, depending on the light and angle. I wasn't able to capture its beauty perfectly, but still here are the shots. The pretty's name is Alessandro 261 and it was apart of their Vamp collection, released in 2009. There are 2 coats in the pictures with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat over it.


How do you like the colour? DO you own any Alessandro nail polishes? What are your experiences with them?

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

OPI Hong Kong Tiny Takeouts Swatches, lots and lots of pictures:)

As promised yesterday (see the post for colour description), I'm bringing you the swatches of OPI Hong Kong collection, more precisely the polishes which are in the Tiny Takeouts, generously sent to me by ZaPikoNaI, Slovenian nail polish distributor.

All polishes were applied in 2 coats, though I must say they have great coverage, perhaps one thicker coat would do. There is no top coat in the pictures, you can see that these polishes are super glossy. I also didn't have any difficulties when applying them, the pictures aren't pre-cleaned, the brush was really easy to handle although it's really small:) I was pleasantly surprized at how shiny they are. Pictures were taken in in direct sun, then in lightbox with artificial light w/- flash.

I just cannot help myself, my personal favourite is Dim sum plum:) How about yours?

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