Golden Zoya

Hello!

Today, I will show you the most precious nail polish I have in my stack. It's Zoya's Solange from PixieDust Summer collection.

I've been in love with it since the very first time I saw this collection, but it took forever for us to get it. And, of course, I was the first one to buy it :)

After I applied it only a couple of hours later, I wasn't disappointed at all! It looks beautiful, very luxurious, but I didn't like the matte look so I used a top coat :)

Blue silver

Hello!

Another ombre mani. I just love this combination! Have to try it with saran/cling technique.

I used Ruby Kisses' Deal With The Devil and Gabriella Salvete's silver polish, number 149 I guess. I bought it last time I was in Prague and I regret buying only one.

Studded

Hello!

Last week I finally got my hands on some studs and couldn't wait to put them on my nails! Studs are originally bronze but my top coat killed the color and they are silver now. Note to self: buy new top coat.

I didn't want to go overboard with studs, so I applied them on only one finger. The base coat is Kiko's 285. I love this nail polish because it has gorgeous shimmer in it.

White pink

Hello!

I was surfing the internet today and came along so called saran/cling wrap technique. It looked beautiful and very simple so I gave it a try.

It's not perfect, since this was my first time, but I'm sure I will get better at some point ;)

I applied two coats of W7 Fluorescent Pink and then use Catrice's Snow Motion!







I wish you all a nice day!

Sara

Golden

Hello!

Here's my new year's eve's manicure :) It's simple and still looks gorgeous!







I used this tutorial. Base color is Kiko's black 275, and golds are Maybelline's Mini Colorama Honey Crystals and Essence's Make it golden.

I think this was the perfect mani to start 2013!

Let it snow!

Hello!

So this is Christmas...

We don't have snow anymore so I did a snowy mani. Well, it's white and sparkly ;)

It's one coat of Kiko 214, one coat of Essence's Space Queen and one coat of OPI's Pirouette my whistle.







I really dig this layering!

Merry Christmas!

Sara

La Tour Eiffel

Bonjour!

Today's mani is totally french! Well, not totally but anyway. I have a nude nail polish with awesome name Cotton candy at the Eiffel Tower by Catrice. I'm 95% sure that I bought it just because of the name :D

So I applied one coat and because it was a bit boring, I drew few Eiffel Towers.

Red matte

Hello!

Today, I have a red manicure for you. It's not the first one, but it's different :)

I applied three coats of NYC Penn Station (my favorite red yet) and a coat of Essence's matte top coat. And the combination is so gorgeous! I will do it again ;)




Before/after

Sara

Gold french

Hello!

On the internet, I came along a picture of gold manicure. I wanted to do something similar, but because I don't own a gold nail polish, full of glitter, I had to make a difference.

First, I colored my tips with Essence's Gold rush, and it seemed really empty. So I went through my stash and found Maybelline's mini Colorama 48 Honey Crystals. I never used it before *blush*

So then I did a top coat of this pretty, pretty gold and here is the result:







I really like this polish, I'm sure I'll start using it more often ;)

Enjoy these last days of summer,

Sara

Stamped ombre

Hello!

I have a new mani to show you. I did some ombre and when I got bored, I stamped it.



I used:

Plate BM20

Kiko 287 (darker color)

Bourjois 1 seconde 06

Thank you for stopping by,

Sara

Sunset

Hello!

Here is my very first ombre manicure. I really like this trend!

It was hard for me to decide which color combination I would use. I had few combination prepared. But since it is summer, I decided for summery sunset.



And here is what I used:

Maybelline Mini Colorama 100

Kiko 283

Kiko 356

Blue ... ish

Hello!

This is my second ombre manicure. The first one was pink and this one, obviously very non-unique, is blue.

The darkest blue is H&M nail polish, which chips like hell. On the middle finger is Catrice's Blue Cara Ciao and last but not least, pinky is covered with Maybelline Mini Colorama's Party Blue.

After few days I got bored and decided to use my OPI's Black Shatter.

Neon

Hello!

The summer has begun here and I couldn't resist to this neon pink! It's a Sweet thing by Ruby kisses. The formula is unlike the color, which is just awesome, horrible - very thick :-(

Black space queen

Hello!

I love black nail polish. And I also love sparkly top coats.

So here I am, wearing black nail polish from Kiko and Space Queen from Essence.

Pink tips

Hello!

I wasn't the biggest fan of french manicure until recently. I always thought it was a grown-up thing and therefore not for me.

Today, I have a pink tip french manicure for you! For tips I used Kiko 283 and I top-coated it with top coat from Essence's french mani set. I like how it makes it more shiny :-)

Red Night in Vegas

Hello!

When I first saw Essence's Night in Vegas on the internet, I knew I had to have it.

I have it for some time now and I love it!

This time, I used NYC Penn Station as a basecoat.

This picture was taken in sunlight, not with flash.

Floral nails

Hello!

I have a picture of a mani, that is few months old and I still have to show.

For basecoat, I used Kiko 214 and for stamping I used Bundle Monster plate 21.

I love stamping but too often I have too long nails :-(

Black bow

Hello again!

Since they started with Mani Monday, I've got sooo many new ideas from TBD. I just love their style!

So, I decided to try one. I did this one.

Glittery glitter

Hello again, everybody!

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but I've been very sick :(

Today, I will show you a manicure that was stuck with me during my illness ;)

This is Kiko 255, so called "Viola Microglitter". I love the color and I think this is my first very, very glittery nail polish! The application is smooth, I did two layers, sadly no top coat because I was in a hurry.

So here it is:





^This one was taken in sunlight, we didn't have much sun here last week!



^And here you can see the multicolor glitter.

Black and gold

Hey!

When I bought Make It Golden by Essence, for basecolor I had in mind some gold polish or black polish. I hadn't had a black nail polish for two years now, so I bought it two weeks ago. I forgot what it's like to have black nails, it is different for me since I've had black nails for almost all the time in 2007.

And because now I have both Make It Golden and black polish, I tried checkers. Just for fun. I think it looks nice, what do you think?

 

The gold part isn't just MIG, I used Golden Sultan by Deborah for basecolor. But I think MIG looks better on Golden Rush also by Essence.
