A new brand to me: Ingrid Cosmetics and NOTD, perfect for Valentine

Hello, dear readers and followers,

today I've got a new brand Ingrid cosmetics which I stumbled across in Tuš drogerije in Maribor. I've heard of it before and when  I saw this pretty I just could not stop myself grabbing it:) Can you blame me;)

This polish is a gorgeous red with tinny red and gold glitter-shimmer and it covers greatly with 2 coats, though I think if you have shorter nails one would be just OK:) Somewhat the polish didn't want to be photographed, at least the shimmer/glitter part of it.

What do you think? Have you heard of this brand? Perhaps own something of it?

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

OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE swatch and NOTD, and yes, I'm still here:)

Hello, dear readers and followers,

I know it has been just too long from my last post, but the work has taken too much of my spare time. I hat to step in for one of my work collegues who wasn't feeling too well, so when I came back from work, I just had no strenght to do anything, not even polish my nails. I have some photos of my unpublished manicures which I plan to post one after another.

Here is one of them, a gorgeous polish I'm sure you all know, namely the OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE. There are 2 coats in the pictures, although I think of you're careful one would be just OK. I love the effect, how about you??

Do you own any of the SUEDE polishes? What do you think of them?

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

Say hello to an Aussie beauty:) TBN Raspberries&cream swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Hope you're having a great start into the new week!

Today's post is about another beautiful polish, which I got in my swap with lovely Michelle from Cosmetic cupcake. It's a brand totally new to me, namely the TBN (stands for Totally beautiful nails). The shade is called Raspberries&cream, and it describes it perfectly:) it's though you would crush the raspberries and add some cream to sweeten everything up. Lovely colour, though somehow my camera wasn't able to catch it completely. The drying time is normal also the staying. There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2.

I also played around a bit, so expect to see some nail art, or at least a few up-grades:)

Have you got any experiences with TBN polishes? What do you think of them?

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

China glaze Rich&famous swatch and NOTD - pics gallore

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

It's Wednesday already, the days seem to rush when I'm at work, and the spare time is being reduced to minumum. But I like it so far;)

The polish I have for you today is China glaze Rich&Famous, a bright pink cream which was somehow difficult to photograph. The pictures taken with flash and indoors are quite colour accurate. It a great summer polish and if you want the feeling of the summer to return, try it;) There are 2 coats in the pictures, over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat. Though the colour is pretty much glossy on it self.

How do you fancy this colour? Have you got any similar ones?

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;)

Hello, dear readers and followers,

There are 2 coats in the pictures with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat over it.

China glaze Aztec orange swatch and NOTD - and an apology

Hello, dear readers and followers,

long time no see, or better read.

I've got a full time job at school, so I'm super duper busy at the moment, it might take a while to get used to everything, to get all the things done.

The posts that come will consist of swatches I did in the last months but haven't published them yetand the number of post will be slightly reduced, I hope you understand. This job came all of a sudden, I never thought it would come so soon.

Here's one of them - China glaze Aztec orange which isn't really that orange-like but it's more of a brigth red colour, almost a neon. There are 2 coats in the pictures without a top coat.

Thank you for your understanding, wishing you a nice and polished Friday:*

Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how are you? It's Wednesday already :)

Today's polish and NOTD is Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors, a silver foil polish I got in my swap with Maria from R3 Daily. It's super flashy and shiny, it's really a smoky version of silver. There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. I also added 1 coat of OPI RapiDry top coat.

Do you own any Sonia Kashuk nail polishes? This is my very first polish from this brand, and I'm loving it! What are your experiences? Do you own any similar colours?
