Happy New Year 2010:* and some swatches of CG C-C Courage

Hey,

hope you all had a fun and great jump into New Year 2010! I had mine, we spent the evening in a remote skiiing hut, though there was not much snow:( but we had a great time anyway. Where did you spend New Year's Eve?

Here's a polish which was part of my latest haul, namely the China glaze C-C Courage. I applied 2 coats of it over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and 1coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat. What do you think of the colour? Do you like it or not? All pictures were taken under artificial light, with and without flash, and they are quite colour accurate, the polish is a bit more purple IRL.

I've also made a konadicure I was not able to post previous year due to a virus on my computer, so here it is today:) and it's Christmas related. There are 2 coats of China glaze C-C Courage and the stamp is made with China glaze Millenium and konad image plate m12 and 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor.

Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a great and polished 2010:*

Ruby-silver-diamond konadicure for New Year

Here's a konadicure I am going to wear to celebrate the coming year:) I just could not resist using China glaze Ruby pumps as the base, this is truly an awsome festive polish that keeps you starring at your nails all the time;) There are two coats in the pictures. After painting my nails in ruby red I stamped them with China glaze Millenium and fauxnad image plate P16, which is becoming my new favourite, but I have to tell that I finally received the snowflake image plate from konad, yay! Well that's not the only ip I got, there were 5 more in the package, pics are coming next year, haha;) Then I added clear rhinestones from Essence and applied INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure?? Do you like it? What's your favourite colour for New Year's celebration? What are you going with? Simply polish or some konad or nail art?

Dear readers and commenters, wish you all the BEST in the year to come, and a BIG thank for following, reading and commenting, it really means a lot to me:* Have a happy and polished year, KISSES from

Red&gold gradient konadicure

Hey, you lovelies!

How are you? Ready for party?;) I finally got my computer back, had some viruses and other malware on it:( but now it works great:) Here's a manicure I did about a week or more ago, for the winter theme contest. I used 2 coats of E.L.F. Burgundy over I coat of Nailtek f.2. Then a used a kitchen sponge and China glaze Passion to do the gradient which I stamped again with E.L.F. Burgundy and fauxnad image plate H23. Enlarge the pics to see the detail;)

Hope you're having a great time and lots of fun in New Year, have a nice and polished rest of the old one;)

Festive Red&Silver konadicure

It has been a while since I got his polish, but just did not manage to use it, as it is a really bright red with subtle orange inside. I'm having holidays at the moment, so it's quite the right time to try it out. This polish was a part of Ethno couture LE and is named Tuvalu, there are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. For stamping I chose China glaze Millenium and for the tips Essence Nail art tip painter in silver, which is really a great nail art painter as it's colour is so dense it is opaque with only one coat. The pattern I chose reminds me of ornaments and stars on the Christmas tree:) It can be found on fauxnad plate H23.

What do you think of the konadicure? Yay or nay? Do you like it?

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

The nail art contest I took part is over, and I WON, thanks to you, my lovelies who voted for me, THANK YOU again:* As soon as I get my rewar I'll swatch it and do a post on it.

Merry Christmas and Santa suit nails:)

Good morning, dear readers and commenters, hope Santa has brought you all you've wanted to have, especially a lot of new nail polishes;) I wish you to spend this lovely holiday in good spirits and surrounded by the ones you love most, lots of kisses and hugs from me too:*

On to the manicure:) I saw this one by Beauty Judy in her awsome Holiday Collection month and just had to try it out, it looked soooooooooooooo cute. It was easier to do someone else this manicure, and again here are familiar guest nails again;) I used 1 coat of Essence Ethno LE Tuvalu and Essence tip painters in white, black and silver, my friend wanted to have extra sparkles on her nails so I added 1 coat of China glaze Fairy dust. What do you think? Do you like the combination or do you prefer it without fairy dust?

Thank you dear readers and commenters, wish you great and peaceful holidays:*

OPI Merry Midnight Konadicure

Today I present you my favourite polish from my latest haul, namely OPI Merry Midnight. I applied 2 coats over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, perhaps I should have done a 3 one, but IRL it looked good until I saw these pictures:) It's such a festive polish in my opinion, but I still added a konad image from fauxnad plate P16 and used Konad special nail polish in Pastel pink, which looks white in the pics, but IRL it looked soft pink on the tips:)

Do you like today's manicure and konadicure?

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