Summer nails - Ulta3 Watermelon swatch and some summer memories


Hello, dear readers and followers:)

FRIDAY! YAY:)

Today I've got for you the manicure I wore when I was at the sea side during my vacation. The colour I chose was Ulta3 in Watermelon, lovely coral cream colour which I got in my swap with 'chelle from Cosmetic Cupcake. There are 2 coats in the pictures and no top coat.  I had no application troubles. The polish dried fairly quickly. This is my very first nail polish in coral,  I did not own any before:)

As for the name, I just had to take some photos with fresh and juicy watermelon in my hands, delicious :P

How do you like coral colours? Have any favourites? What do you think of this one?

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

Glitter red french tips

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

A quick post today - I did not want to change my manicure with Color club Special effects but I wanted to spice it up a bit. So I took my favourite red glitter polish, China glaze Ruby pumps, and made a french manicure out of it. The pics don't do it justice as it looked much better IRL, the effect could be seen much clearly.

Would you wear this combination? What do you think of it?

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

Color club Special effects swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

wishing you a nice start into the week.

A quick post today, the polish used is Color club in the shade Special effects, a very vibrant and gloving red colour which looks almost metallic in some light. I applied 2 coats over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2.

Do you own any shade similar to this? What do you think of it?

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

I just could not take off the beautiful Savita so I decided to apply the INM top coat all over it, and then konaded it with Bundle monster image plate BM20 as well as Konad special nail polish in Pastel pink.

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

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

An attempt at ruffian manicure - matte&glossy Savita

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Finally Friday:P

First I would like to say that this manicure looked much better IRL, the different effects were better visible but the camera just could capture it. Please so enlarge the pics to see the ruffian manicure more precisely;) This was my first attempt at it, so please don't be harsh on me;)

The base for this manicure was yesterday's NOTD with Zoya Savita. For the glossy part I used 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat, and the lines were painted with free hand, no stencils or alike.

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

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

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:*
