Another great swap! Check these beauties!

Hello, dear readers and followers,

as promised I bring you the pics of my newest swap:) A while ago, when I was looking for new polishes and swaps I was contacted by lovely Tânia from  Coisas de Unhas blog (check it out, it's really great!) and we decided to make a swap.

Check this out! I was sent 13 polishes, whoa!! And a nail strengthener pen from the brand Andreia. Two brands I got in the package I already knew, though only from the internet, but know I've got them both, Andreia and Risque. The other brands are completely new to me: Cliche, Carlos Santos and Dote.

The colours vary, but they're all my types of colours :) Love what you picked for me Tânia! Every one of them! She also included a lovely note for me in the package:)

Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoyed your package as much as I did mine!

Have you got any polishes from these brands? Which in particular? What do you think of them?

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

Last call to enter my 700+ followers giveaway:) and some trivia

Hello, lovelies!

Hope you're doing just great! We finally got some snow round here, and it looks so cool, though the streets aren't that great:S

I also went skiing with my BF to Austria during the weekend, we stayed in Bad Kleinkirchheim and enjoyed skiining in Turracher Höhe. I'll post some pictures later, when I transfer them from the phone. The weather was beautiful and I still remember how to ski; this has been my third season since the beginning of my learning process.

You have still enough time to enter my GIVEAWAY which ends tomorrow at 24.00, no matter what time zone it is, as long it is still 30th of November, so you're welcome to join if you haven't done it already:)

That's all for today, I'm planning on doing a post on an amazing swap I did:) so stay tuned!

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

Bundled Opulent cloud (BM19)

Hello, dear readers and followers, hope you're having a great day! Not to mention that it's Friday, right ;)

Finally, another manicure post from me, it's a konadicure over Sally Hansen Opulent cloud (fully swatched HERE). I used Bundle monster image plate BM19 and China glaze Passion, then sealed everything with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoors.

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

What colour are you sporting on your nails and toes?

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

My stash :) warning pic heavy!

Hello, dear readers and followers, long time no hear from me:)

The work requires more of me than I've thought, so sorry for the lack of post :(

In the meantime I got a new storage place for my nail polishes, they were getting so many so I needed a new home for them. I bought a red metall container in Mömax (Austria) which I placed in our living room.

The total number of all polishes is 174, not so high right;)

Let's take a look at the collection.
The first pic is the stash before I began to re-organize it.



The second pic, my french manicure polishes:


My purples:


My pinks and berries:


 
My holos:


 
My reds:


My blues and greens:


My taupes, nudes and peachy colours:


My brown, black, silver and white colours:



My Konad stamping nail polishes (plus some other rather old ones):


My other nail polishes which I use primarily for stamping:

 
There're also 2 polishes in orange and coral, though I forgot to take pics of them.
 
My new ones (ready to be swatched):
 

Polishes which I tried but I don't like them anymore:) so they're going to be sold or given away:)


My treatments and top coats with some special polishes:


My collection of treatments, top coats, konad special polishes, image plates and other stuff needed for stamping organized in the drawer:



Other polishes which need to be tried and swatched:

 
That's it,  how do you organize your polishes? By colours, brands, types or any other way??

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

Sally Hansen HD Opulent cloud swatch and NOTD - mesmerizing


Hello, dear readers and followers:)

How are you doing?

Hope you're having a great weekend on this sunny and autumn day!

Today I've got for you the famous Sally Hansen Opulent cloud which I got in my swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered Lizard.

What to say about this colour that hasn't been already said:) I love it, love the brush and the application, what I don't love is that it is so too sheer. There are 4 coats in the pictures! But it dries pretty fast and the final result is still worth it.

The colour is an slight duochrome or perhaps triochrome:), it changes from grey, gold to lavender purple. mesmerizing!

What do you think of the colour? Do you own it perhaps? Or any other similar colours?

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


ps. I've seen that we're just 1 follower away to a big giveaway, YAY!

 Thank you so much for following and reading me:*
