Music to my ears KOTD m73 + matte holo

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

A new week ahead and a new updated manicure, too. Over Glitter Gal Fuchsia I used China glaze Harmony and Konad image plate m73. In the end I mattified the whole manicure with China glaze Matte magic (last pic). However, I think I like the glossy one better.

How about you? Which mani do you prefer?

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

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:*

Zoya Harlow swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

nail polish photos at last :)

Here's another Zoya nail polish I got in my international swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered Lizard - Zoya Harlow - matte purple red gorgeousness in a bottle.There are 2 coats in the pictures, all over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. The application was good, no problems - although you have to be fairy quick when you apply this baby, it dries really fast.

What's more to say than I love it! I'll try it with a top coat for sure :)

How about you? Do you fancy it too?

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:*

Zoya Savita swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

One day till weekend, hurray for that! ;)

I've got another Zoya polish for you, it's the beloved Savita which I also got in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered lizard. The polish is just amazing, such velvet effect and gorgeous colour (purple with fine pink shimmer), I could not stop starring at my nails  when I had it on, simply stunning. The drying time is super fast and you have to work really quickly when applying it and be carefull not to go over one area more than once. Loved the brush again :) The polish was applied over one coat of Nailtek foundation 2, my favourite base coat.

What are your thoughts on this polish? Love it as much as I do? Have it perhaps?

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

Completely matte Zulu and let's french it up

Hi, dear readers and followers:)

I showed you Essence Zulu yesterday and a comparison with China glaze Matte magic on 2 nails, but today I've mattified the whole manicure. As I just couldn't stop at this stage I had to add some glossy top coat to  the tips to create a french look, the top coat used is INM OutTheDoor.

I really like the end result, how about you?

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

First Essence matte polish in Zulu - matte, satin or what?

Hey, dear readers and followers:)

I'm sure you've seen this pretty already, right? This will be a rather short post, so let the pics speak for themselves;)

There are 2 coats in the pictures, and as the bottle says it'a a matte polish, but as you can see it's rather satin like than real matte effect. I also did a comparison with China glaze Matte magic to give the real matte finish.

What do you think of the colour and finish?

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

comparison with matte magic on pinkie and middle finger, the difference is pretty obvious, do you agree??

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:*
