My first Zoya in Isla - swatch and NOTD (ps. warning pics overload)

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

On to today's NOTD. I got this gorgeous polish in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered Lizard. It gorgeous shimmery red, the finish sometimes looks as it were metallic though it's not really. It's a 2-coater and it applied perfectly and it dried also pretty fast. I had no troubles applying it, the pics you see aren't pre-cleaned.

This is my very first Zoya nail polish I've tried and I have to say I'm so pleased with the formula and the brush! Great!

What do you think of this polish? Do you own it too? Want it? What's your favourite  Zoya nail polish?

Thank you, dear readers and followers:*

A bonus picture because the post did not consist of many :D

Finally back!

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Have you missed me;)

Just a quick post telling you that my holidays have finished and that I'm going back to posting as usual. As for the exam I had the day I went to holidays, I passed it in no time :D Wow, I felt so great because I really had some tough time during the learning process, thank you all for you kind wishes and encouragements! Expect new post coming soon:) Tomorrow is still a day off for me, but on Monday I'm back to work and blogging world.

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

The D-day and farewell KOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

I haven't forgotten you, hope you haven't forgotten me either;) As you're reading this I'm on my way to take my final exam, the biggest of them all, so keep your fingers crossed for me *hug* After the exam I'm headed right to the seaside to take my long desired vacation, hurray! I'll be back in forthnight with lots of new pictures and manicures, and of course konadicures;)

SO here's the manicure I did for the exam, I did not want to go for bold and vivid colours, so what else to choose than a classic french manicure:) I used over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 1 coat of Petites color in Fairy pink (a lovely sheer holographic pink shade) which I got in the swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered lizard! After that I used the french pattern on konad im m19 and konad special nail polish in white, then I added another coat of Fairy pink and sealed everything with one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure? Like it or not? Where are you spending your summer holidays? What polish are you going to wear?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you nice days, lots of fun and polished nails:*

Rasberry kiss from BM02

Hello, dear followers and readers:)

A quick post today:) as you know I'm a bit short on time, still a lot of learning, making notes, etc. So no long words, but more pictures instead.

I got my Bundle monster image plates few days ago and I just had to try them out. I decided to go for the kiss image from BM02 and used Konad special nail polish in white to stamp with. For the base I used BarryM nail polish in Rasberry, fully swatched and reviewed HERE.

What do you think of the combination? Like it or not?

I apologize for now responding to your awards but I'm very honoured and happy to have received them, thank you, you're all too sweet:*

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

My very first BarryM nail polish in Rasberry

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Not so long ago I got an email from the web shop named Ličila.si  in which they offered to send me BarryM nail polish for review. Of course I was interested, even more because I did not own any nail polish from this brand. BarryM was not available in Slovenia for a long time and Ličila.si is the only shop that sells this brand.

The colour I got is 273 Rasberry. Lovely and classic colour which looks great with any clothes you wear. The bottle holds 10ml of nail polish and it costs 4,45€. It is of jelly consistency and the best part is that it is fully coverable in 1 a bit thicker coat. In the pictures you see 1 coat of BarryM Rasperry over 1 coat of Poshe basecoat, there is also no topcoat in the pictures, as the polish is really glossy on itself. The brush is great too, easy to handle and to apply the polish, drying time is normal too, I did not do any cleanup after the polishing and I am extremely satisfied with that:)

Do you know BarryM brand and do you have any nail polish from this brand? How do you fancy the colour?

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


Pozdravljeni, dragi bralci in bralke:)

Pred kratkim sem prejela prijazen email iz spletne trgovine Ličila.si, v katerem so mi ponudili, da mi pošljejo lak BarryM znamke in da ga preizkusim. Seveda sem bila zelo vesela ponudbe, saj v moji zbirke še nimam nobenega lakca te znamke. Te znamke namreč dolgo ni bilo mogoče dobiti pri nas v Sloveniji, sedaj pa je na voljo samo v spletni trgovini Ličila.si.

Barva, ki sem jo prejela, je 273 Rasberry (Malina) in tudi lepo opiše barvo, ki je res ''malinasta'', polna rdeča barva, z visokim sijajem tudi brez nadlaka. Sam lak je jelly konsistence in krasno prekriva tudi s samo enim malce debelejšim slojem, kar je super! S čopičem sem bila zelo zadovoljna, lak lahko namreč naneseš zelo natančno in tudi kasnejše čiščenje ni bilo potrebno. Torej sem samo nalakirala in poslikala:) Slike so bile narejene na različnih osvetlitvah in z bliskavico oz. brez nje. Na slikah je 1 plast laka preko 1 plasti Poshe podlaka. Lak se posuši v normalnem času. Steklenička vsebuje 10ml laka in stane 4,45€.

Torej, kaj mislite o barvi? Že imate kakšen BarryM lak ali pa ga nameravate kupiti?

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Just a quick and short post to tell you I'm still here, but deeply stuck into learning:)

First of all, I would like to thank you, my dear followers and readers for sticking with me, giving all your nice comments and encouraging me to polish my nails even more often :P (though at this time I'm a bit out of practice due to learning). KONADomania blog has reached 601 followers thanks to YOU! A giveaway is being prepared, and I'll probably anounce it when I finish my studies and come back from summer vacation as a sign of my gratitude and love for you:)

In the passed days I also received 2 packages from two lovely ladies, Elizabeth and Maria. You, girls ROCK and A BIG THANK YOU! I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the packages, wow, full of nail polishes and brands I only have heard of before, but now I even own them, YAY! My first Zoyas, Claire Mood polishes, Cover girl lash blast, Sally Hansen, American Apparel, and two brands completely new to me, Petites and Sonia Kashuk.

I'll add the descriptions of the polishes later, pictures should suffice for now:)

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

ps. and I'm off to Venice for a school trip, YAY:) The bus leaves in an hours, hope the weather will be nice too:)

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:*
