Valentine mani #1 KOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

as promised, I bring you the first of my manicures I did for the upcoming Valentine's day. The base polish is Ingrid Cosmetics Ice cube (full swatched HERE), which I then stamped with Konad special nail polish in white and image plate m61. Then I added 1 coat of Konad special top coat.

Do you like the combination? What are your manicure plans for the Valentine's day?

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;)

Claire's Mood polish Calm/Wild swatch - pics heavy

Hello, dear readers and followers,

the long awaited swatches of first Claire's Mood polishes - Calm/Wild- are finally here. I got this beauty in my swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered lizard, Maria from R3 Daily, and Alisa from Polish Fiend.

There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of top coat the polish dries rather matte, so a top coat is good to be applied. Please do excuse so many pictures, I just could not resist taking so many, the polish is super fun to watch and play with :P I played around with my artificial light to get the polish warm, except in the last picture where my hands were warm after having a bath.

As I've seen on the web Claire's have released a new line of mood polishes, have you seen it already?

What are your favourites from the collection? Do you own any mood polish yourself?

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

Upgraded pedicure with Sally Hansen Hidden treasure

 Hello, dear readers and followers,

a very short post today. I wanted to add something special to the pedicure with Diamond cosmetics Cherry tobacco so I applied 1 coat of Sally Hansen Hidden treasure. There is no topcoat in the pics.The pictures are taken outdoors in the sun, the last two were taken while standing in the sea:) The flakies reflected the water and the sun perfectly <3

What do you think of the upgrade?:)

Summer pedicure plus summer memories

Hello, dear readers and folllowers,

how was your weekend? Did you do anything funny? Went somewhere?

For today's post I chose my summer pedicure I wore when beeing at the sea side in Croatia. I got this polish in my swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered Lizard, and it's my very first Diamond cosmetics nail polish, Hurray! The shade is I think very well known, namely Cherry tobacco, gorgeous dark brownish red colour with red shimmer. There are 2 coats in the pictures and 1 coat of INM OutTheDoors topcoat.

Which colour ar you sporting on your toes?:)

Let's add some shine to it: Glossy Zoya Harlow NOTD

 Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're enjoying the weekend as much as I do:)

I just had to apply INM top coat over Zoya Harlow to see its sparkliness, would you blame me;) On to the pics, which show the beauty of glossy Harlow, I even think I like it better that way. How about you? Which finish do you prefer?

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

Color club Special effects swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

wishing you a nice start into the week.

A quick post today, the polish used is Color club in the shade Special effects, a very vibrant and gloving red colour which looks almost metallic in some light. I applied 2 coats over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2.

Do you own any shade similar to this? What do you think of it?
