Canadian swap with Polish Fiend

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how are you on this sunny day? :)

I finally got my package from Canada which I was eagerly waiting for. This post will be on the swap with lovely Alisa from Polish Fiend. She sent me lots of nail polishes, all the brands I got were new to me, not one of them was already included in my stash, besides the Mood polishes.

The package consisted of 2 Claire's mood polishes in Calm and Wild, and in Peaceful and Confident, and a pack of 6 mini nail polishes from Claire's cosmetics. Then there were also 3 nail polishes from Joe Fresh in Tomato (bright red with a hint of orange), in Coral (pastel coral shade) and in Figue (dusty mauve). She also packed 2 great eyeshadows for me, one was again from Joe Fresh (gorgeous purple) and the other was from Annabelle (indigo - great), and a cheek tint by Joe Fresh. Two sheets of 3D nail stickers were also in it and a manicure kit, and not to forget a lovely note at the end:)

I love all the colours Alisa picked for me, and can't wait to try them out! This was such a fun and great swap, thanks a lot Alisa:*

How about you, dear readers and followers, own any of these brands? What is your experience with them?

Thank you, and wishing you a nice and polished day:*

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?:)

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

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?:)

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

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:*

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:*

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:*

Covergirl LashBlast mascara review

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a great day!

No nails today, but some pics of me wearing Covergirl LashBlast mascara which I got in  my swap with Maria from R3 Daily. I've read some many reviews about this mascara I just couldn't wait to try it on and was super happy when I received it in Maria's package.

I'm sure you're seen many reviews too, how about another quick one ;) This piece of beauty is simply AMAZING! I can say it the best mascara I've come across with. There are 2 coats of it in the pics and no clumping or whatsoever. Just pure volume and length, that's all I need in my mascara :)

What's your favourite mascara of all time? Which ones would you like to try?

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