Essence-Verry-berry-KOTD

I just had to do a konadicure over yesterday's NOTD, can you blame me;) I used fauxnad plate H22 and China glaze Devotion. It was quite difficult to capture the image on photographs as it reflects the flash. On to the pictures then:) All were taken indoors with artificial light and flash, I had to photograph this manicure with my new IKEA slippers, as the colours are almost a match. Do you like the combination? Do you think it's appropriate for this time of the year? Is it festive or rather not?

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

NOTD Essence SYF Verry berry

Just a quick post, as I'm on the run to work:) I fell in love with this beautiful shade from Essence Show your feet collection named Verry berry. The application was great, I'm really satisfied:) There is one coat in picture over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, but no top coat. Do you like it too?:)

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

Festive red&silver KOTD

Over the weekend I did another manicure to a friend of mine who came to visit. Over 1 coat of Essence Ridge filler I applied 2 coats of China glaze Ruby pumps, then drew a diagonal line with Essence Nail art in black and painted it whole black. Afterwards, I stamped it half snowflake image from fauxnad image plate p16 and China glaze Millenium, then I outlined it with Essence Nail art in silver and applied OutTheDoor top coat. She really liked the manicure, and so did I. What about you? Do you like it? Would you wear it yourself?

Gold&red-snowflake-KOTD

I hold the opinion that every woman can have beautiful and well kept hands and nails, therefore I did a simple manicure and konadicure to BF's mother, who works a lot which is evident also from her hands, but still wishes to have nice and polished nails:) I used China glaze Passion and stamped it with snowflake image from fauxnad plate P16 and Konad special nail polish in red. Nothing complicated, but I like it, and so did she:) What about you? What's your opinion of this KOTD?

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

E.L.F. swatches and pinky starry french KOTD

I got some color wheels from my nail polish ''supplier'' Anchek, thank you so much:* What else could I do if not swatch yesterday's haul with e.l.f. nail polishes, as I have to admit the swatches on the paper were a bit crappy indeed:) First two pictures were taken under artificial light but no flash, the second two in natural light and flash, there was just no sun today; from left to right (from bottom to the top in the 2nd pic) there are: Sunset, Berry pink, Burgundy and Dark navy. All swatches are made with 2 coats All images can be enlarged to see the details;)

The konadicure I have for you today is made with 1 coat of Nailtek f.2, then 1 coat of Oriflame French manicure in Morning dew, the tips were painted with Opi Strawberry margharita and stamped with Konad special nail polish in white and image plate m44. There is no top coat in the pictures. What do you think of it? Do you like it? Thank you dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

Latest E.L.F. nail polish haul

After a while, I can present you my new nail polish haul from e.l.f. (Anchek, BIG THANKS), the polishes I ordered are from left to right: Sunset (don't know how to describe this one:), it has micro pink shimmer I think), Berry pink (a darker red-pinkish colour with pink and silver shimmer), Burgundy (red-brownish colour with gold shimmer) and Dark navy (very dark blue polish with micro blue shimmer), there are also some cuticle pushers and super glossy lip shine which I got for free:) The colours in the first 2 pictures are not as accurate as I took them last night. But in others they are:) Enlarge them to see the details, all polishes have shimmer. I'll also do nail swatches;) Do you have any of these polishes? Are you satisfied with the quality? Have you tried any of these colours for konad? (e.l.f. coral works amazing with it) Do you like the colours chosen?

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