Summer memories and summer pedicure with Ulta3 Hot spring

Hi,

dear readers and followers:)

How are you doing on this rainy and gloomy day?? Here in Slovenia the level of water has risen a lot, and there is high flood risk. I just hope everything will be ok and pray for those who live near streams and rivers.

So on this lausy day I've been looking at the pictures of the sea vacation and found this summer pedicure I wore at that time. It is such a nice and summery colour. I used Ulta3 Hot spring (a rich berry fuchsia cream) which I got in the swap with Michelle from Cosmetic and cupcake. It took only one coat to reach the full opacity which is great, especially for a pedicure:) then I added 1 coat of OPI RapiDry.


Thank you, dear readers and followers:*


Wishing you a nice and polished weekend!

When sponge gradient meets konad (m56) - pics heavy

Hello, dear readers and followers,

yesterday I posted a swatch of Alessandro 261 (fully swatched HERE). Then I added gradient manicure on the side of each nail with China glaze Devotion and stamped it with Konad special nail polish in violet pearl and french image plate m56.

What do you think of the end result? Yay or nay?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished start of the week:*

Chameleon: Alessandro 261 swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

The manicure I have for you today is a true chameleon, it switches colours from green, blue to purple, depending on the light and angle. I wasn't able to capture its beauty perfectly, but still here are the shots. The pretty's name is Alessandro 261 and it was apart of their Vamp collection, released in 2009. There are 2 coats in the pictures with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat over it.


How do you like the colour? DO you own any Alessandro nail polishes? What are your experiences with them?

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

Double stamping - KOTD with m57 and m78

Hello, dear readers and followers,

are you having such a bad weather as I? Rain and nothing but rain, want summer back and sun:)

So today I'm showing you a konadicure I did while being in Mali Lošinj, and it reminds me of great time spent there. The polish used is China glaze Aztec orange, full swatched HERE.

First I used Konad special nail polish in black and konad image plate m57, then I added butterflies with m78 and Color club Worth the risque. In the end I also applied one coat of INM OutTheDoor fast drying top coat.

What do you think of the manicure? Do you like it?


Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you a nice and polished Sunday:*



All the pics were taken outdoors in the sun:)

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:*

Ruffian manicure with Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors - pics overload

Dear readers and followers,

how are you today? Are you also having such a lousy weather as we do here in Slovenia? It's supposed to be summer, but hey this looks like autumn or spring. Want some sunshine back!

On to the manicure:) What to do with a silver foil polish (fully swatched HERE) if not use it as a base for ruffian manicure. So I took China glaze Liquid leather and applied 1 coat over yesterday's NOTD. As you can see in the pics, Liquid leather is super glossy on itself, there isn't any top coat over it. Though the coverage isn't that good, you get full opacity with 2 coats, although there's only 1 in the pictures.

How do you like this manicure? Are you a fan of Ruffian? Have you got any favourite colour combinations? I would love to hear/ read them!

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

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?

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