I'm BACK and the first polish from swap with Tuli

 Just a quick post today, only to tell you I'm back fom my winter holidays (pics are coming, I took a huge amount of them, so prepare to see some winter landscapes and ski slopes). I've missed you, my dear readers and followers, hope you missed me too;)

Here's a manicure I did before I went there. This polish is a part of the swap I did with lovely Tuli. It's Andrea 15 (gorgeous lilac creamy colour) and there are 2 coats over Nailtek f.2, but no top coat. The application was great too. The true colour was again a bit difficult to capture with camera. I simply love the colour, great choice Tuli:*

What about you? Do you like it? Own anything similar to it?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished beginning of the week:*

My last post and KOTD with CG Cream Puff

 The day finally came for me to go to a long deserved winter holiday. We are going to Austria in an hour or two. I am super excited about this skiing vacation, as I'm in the process of learning how to ski. I'll be away for a week, there's no internet at the appartment, so I won't be able to post any new swatches, NOTD or KOTD. I will answer your comments when I come back, full of energy :) I might post some pictures of ski slopes if you want  me too, just let me know what you think of the idea;)

As I can't go without a konad on my nails, I konaded my yesterday's NOTD China glaze Cream puff with Konad special nail polish in white and im m65. Then I added 1 coat of  Poshe fast drying topcoat. All pictures were taken in my lightboxth artificial light, first two with flash, and the last no flash.

What do you think of KOTD? Yay or nay or something in between;)

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a lovely and polished time:*

China glaze Cream puff swatch and NOTD

 Hey,

how are you? Feeling as great as I do?;)

Today's nails of the day are painted with CHina glaze Cream Puff. This polish is a part of their last glitter speciality  collection. It's a peachy beige pinky colour, if that makes sense:D it is filled with small silver glitter and has a foil finish to it. The application was great, 2 coats were enough for full coverage. There's no top coat in the pictures.

The first picture isn't quite true to the colour. It was taken without artificial light and with flash, and it looks too pinky.

The second, third and fourth were taken in lightbox, with artificial light, second no flash, and the third and fourth with flash. The last two pictures also capture the true colour of the polish.

Do you like the colour or not? It could be suitable also for mannequin hands I think.

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

Quick Valentine KOTD

 Hey, lovelies!

As the week is coming to its end I'm feeling more and more relaxed, can't wait for the holidays to come:)

Here's konadicure I did to my future mother-in-law who likes to have her nails done. It's really appropriate or so to say a typical Valentine's manicure. Do you agre?:)

The polish used is S-he 468, swatched HERE. Then I took konad image plate m59 and China glaze Devotion.

What do you think of it?

I also added the Form spring box on the right side of the blog in case you want to ask me a question;) The link to my profile is HERE.

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

ps. I'm preparing the 300+ giveaway, have already ordered some great nail art stuff;), there's some konad in play too, and I hope to post it as I return from my winter holiday in Austria.

Does it look like Midnight passion to you??:)

 Hey,

how was your weekend?? Hope it wasn't as stressful as mine:) Just can't wait for the winter holidays to come, and I hope these days will pass in no time. There's still a lot of school work to do, that's why I did not post during the weekend.

On to the today's NOTD. It's an Oriflame nail polish in Midnight passion. I used to have, actually I still have the same colour from the previous line, though the old one was named Black cherries:) There are 2 coats in the picture without a topcoat. First and second picture were taken with flash and no artificial light, and the last inside my lightbox and with flash and artificial light. I think the last pic captures the colour well. It's a dark brownish red cream which looks a bit dark when there's no light or sun, no appllication problems with it.

What do you think of the colour? Do you like it or not?

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

Essence HOHOHO konadicure

Another quicky today, as I have so much school work to do, I don't know how to manage it all:) I have to compose 3 different written previews for EFL classes as a part of my apprenticeship, so there's a lot of work to be done:)

On to the konadicure, over yesterday's Essence LE HOHOHO I konadicured the image from konad image plate m65 and China glaze Devotion. There's no topcoat in the pictures which were taken with flash and no artificial light.

Do you like the colour combo? And the chosen motive?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a relaxed and polished weekend:*

with my all time favourite base coat Nailtek f.2 :)
