Zoya Savita swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

One day till weekend, hurray for that! ;)

I've got another Zoya polish for you, it's the beloved Savita which I also got in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered lizard. The polish is just amazing, such velvet effect and gorgeous colour (purple with fine pink shimmer), I could not stop starring at my nails  when I had it on, simply stunning. The drying time is super fast and you have to work really quickly when applying it and be carefull not to go over one area more than once. Loved the brush again :) The polish was applied over one coat of Nailtek foundation 2, my favourite base coat.

What are your thoughts on this polish? Love it as much as I do? Have it perhaps?

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

Flakies over Zoya Isla NOTD - just got to love 'em

Hello, dear readers and followers,

a quick post today :) as I'm back to work again. Over yesterday's NOTD with Zoya Isla I applied 1 coat of Sally Hansen Hidden treasure of which I'm sure you've heard and seen a lot:) I got it in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered lizard and one in my swap with Maria from R3Daily.

The effect is simply mesmerizing, I could stop starring at my nails while I was having it on. Love, love, love it!

What do you think of the colour combination? Do you own a bottle of Hidden treasure? And do you use it often?

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

My first Zoya in Isla - swatch and NOTD (ps. warning pics overload)

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

On to today's NOTD. I got this gorgeous polish in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered Lizard. It gorgeous shimmery red, the finish sometimes looks as it were metallic though it's not really. It's a 2-coater and it applied perfectly and it dried also pretty fast. I had no troubles applying it, the pics you see aren't pre-cleaned.

This is my very first Zoya nail polish I've tried and I have to say I'm so pleased with the formula and the brush! Great!

What do you think of this polish? Do you own it too? Want it? What's your favourite  Zoya nail polish?

Thank you, dear readers and followers:*













A bonus picture because the post did not consist of many :D

The D-day and farewell KOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

I haven't forgotten you, hope you haven't forgotten me either;) As you're reading this I'm on my way to take my final exam, the biggest of them all, so keep your fingers crossed for me *hug* After the exam I'm headed right to the seaside to take my long desired vacation, hurray! I'll be back in forthnight with lots of new pictures and manicures, and of course konadicures;)

SO here's the manicure I did for the exam, I did not want to go for bold and vivid colours, so what else to choose than a classic french manicure:) I used over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 1 coat of Petites color in Fairy pink (a lovely sheer holographic pink shade) which I got in the swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered lizard! After that I used the french pattern on konad im m19 and konad special nail polish in white, then I added another coat of Fairy pink and sealed everything with one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat.

What do you think of the manicure? Like it or not? Where are you spending your summer holidays? What polish are you going to wear?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you nice days, lots of fun and polished nails:*

Rasberry kiss from BM02

Hello, dear followers and readers:)

A quick post today:) as you know I'm a bit short on time, still a lot of learning, making notes, etc. So no long words, but more pictures instead.

I got my Bundle monster image plates few days ago and I just had to try them out. I decided to go for the kiss image from BM02 and used Konad special nail polish in white to stamp with. For the base I used BarryM nail polish in Rasberry, fully swatched and reviewed HERE.

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

I apologize for now responding to your awards but I'm very honoured and happy to have received them, thank you, you're all too sweet:*

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

My very first BarryM nail polish in Rasberry

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Not so long ago I got an email from the web shop named Ličila.si  in which they offered to send me BarryM nail polish for review. Of course I was interested, even more because I did not own any nail polish from this brand. BarryM was not available in Slovenia for a long time and Ličila.si is the only shop that sells this brand.

The colour I got is 273 Rasberry. Lovely and classic colour which looks great with any clothes you wear. The bottle holds 10ml of nail polish and it costs 4,45€. It is of jelly consistency and the best part is that it is fully coverable in 1 a bit thicker coat. In the pictures you see 1 coat of BarryM Rasperry over 1 coat of Poshe basecoat, there is also no topcoat in the pictures, as the polish is really glossy on itself. The brush is great too, easy to handle and to apply the polish, drying time is normal too, I did not do any cleanup after the polishing and I am extremely satisfied with that:)

Do you know BarryM brand and do you have any nail polish from this brand? How do you fancy the colour?

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


Pozdravljeni, dragi bralci in bralke:)

Pred kratkim sem prejela prijazen email iz spletne trgovine Ličila.si, v katerem so mi ponudili, da mi pošljejo lak BarryM znamke in da ga preizkusim. Seveda sem bila zelo vesela ponudbe, saj v moji zbirke še nimam nobenega lakca te znamke. Te znamke namreč dolgo ni bilo mogoče dobiti pri nas v Sloveniji, sedaj pa je na voljo samo v spletni trgovini Ličila.si.

Barva, ki sem jo prejela, je 273 Rasberry (Malina) in tudi lepo opiše barvo, ki je res ''malinasta'', polna rdeča barva, z visokim sijajem tudi brez nadlaka. Sam lak je jelly konsistence in krasno prekriva tudi s samo enim malce debelejšim slojem, kar je super! S čopičem sem bila zelo zadovoljna, lak lahko namreč naneseš zelo natančno in tudi kasnejše čiščenje ni bilo potrebno. Torej sem samo nalakirala in poslikala:) Slike so bile narejene na različnih osvetlitvah in z bliskavico oz. brez nje. Na slikah je 1 plast laka preko 1 plasti Poshe podlaka. Lak se posuši v normalnem času. Steklenička vsebuje 10ml laka in stane 4,45€.

Torej, kaj mislite o barvi? Že imate kakšen BarryM lak ali pa ga nameravate kupiti?
