Hy everybody,
I guess I overworked myself and my body said stop and rest… I’m down with the flu. It’s been a few days now and by now I’ve stopped feeling like being run down by a truck, I’m still sick though. I’m good enough to have the laptop on top of me in my bed and I’m not sleeping all the time :)
Here’s what I wore on my nails a few days ago, Beauty UK’s Smokey lilac, I don’t know why the price on licila.si was only 0,5 €, but with that price it would be a sin not to order it with other stuff…
I don’t know what it is with these dirty lilac shades, I just love them <3 I just wanted to spice this up a bit with an accented nail and I chose to layer Catrice’s Siberian Call LE polish, Rest in the forest:
I liked what I saw so much that I decided to layer Rest in the forest on all of my nails:
My god how I love this combination!! <3 I kept staring at my nails for days :)))
As far as the polishes goes, I had a little trouble with Smokey lilac, the application wasn’t as smooth as I would want it to be, there were some bubbles and it wasn’t leveling out by itself, otherwise it was fine, I really like the color. I had no trouble at all with Rest in the forest, if I were to pick a down side of this polish it would only be it’s sheerness – but then again these two polishes together make such a gorgeous combination!! :)
Do you agree? :)

I know, I know, it’s not really original, but after a week of not enough sleep and working all days my brain wouldn’t come up with anything better for a title. I just wanted to post again since I am not doing it regularly. In my last post I reviewed my first Essie, thought it was bad and I couldn’t leave it just like that. I am now a proud owner of gazillion new polishes I bought in Germany and it was time to try some more of them out. ;)
I had my eyes on Misslyn Star dust top coat from Future Glam collection for quite some time but had the misfortune of always getting to an empty rack in Slovenia. Now it’s mine! =P Of course my camera had a mind of it’s own regarding colors again (it was much prettier in RL), but check this beauty out!
Oh the sparkling!
…and later I added a purple P2 Crackle polish on my ring fingernail:
Sure, crackles may be out of style now, but I still like them. What do you think?
Or rather – my first Essie disappointment. I was in a drugstore in Germany and there was an Essie rack with Essie Winter Collection. It was not full, but I saw a gorgeous blue polish named Butler please and I thought to myself, I have a job now, I can afford to buy a higher priced polish if I want to. I don’t want to splurge too much though because I know my addiction to polishes would cost me much more if I went off buying expensive polishes like I do the cheap ones. But I can treat myself occasionally with a bottle or two! ;)
Then came the time to try it on! …and then I was disheartened. The formula… awful. The application was streaky, I couldn’t even it out, it kept on bubbling like crazy… I don’t know how many layers of it I’ve put on for it to be decent. And I wasn’t happy at all. Too much trouble and still not a pretty application. Too bad, because the color is just perfect. It dried in a weird finish, semi matte plastic or what would I call it. I kind of like that, but the formula is just bad.
My advice – if you see it on the rack, don’t buy it. It’s just not worth the money (I think it was 7€?) and the troubles, no matter how beautiful this color is. All that glitters is not gold – not even Essie.
Happy New Year everybody!! I really want to thank you all for checking in, reading my blog and commenting, somehow I feel like I “know” some of you =) I’m glad I’m not doing this writing just for myself ^ ^ My 2012 was really amazing, it continued a great streak from 2011, my life turned a way I had previously only dreamed about – so please, dare to dream, it can come true =))) Yes the dream is exhausting and it takes up so much of my time (it’s like a second job), but the rewards, man, the rewards are sooooo worth it! =)))) And on top of that, 2012 brought the birth of my blog and many many many new nail polishes! ;))
Speaking of which, it’s time to show you what I’ve been wearing on New Year’s Eve. My manicure was more wintery than glamorous, but I really wanted to play with some of my new polishes and I wanted to do something special, some kind of nail art and not just simply applying polish. So I started with this goooooorgeous new Kiko 336 I bought in Germany – I think it deserves two photos:
It’s a fabulous substitute for P2 Gigantic =P The formula is amazing, it’s completely opaque in two layers and it dries fast, I’m in love =))
I used this Kiko as my basis, I then took a nail stamp plate and stamped two snowflakes on my ring finger, one white (Essence Stamp me white) and one silver (Manhattan LE Liquid metals). With an older Ingrid sparkling white polish (originally destined for french manicure) I sponged snow on the tips of my nails – it was the first time I ever used a sponge, yes, that’s how fresh I still am at this =P It’s not that perfect but I was pleased. Here’s what it looked like:
As if that wasn’t enough, I wanted to have something more, I used a P2 Holo top coat to spice it up (LOL now I see written on it “glamurous finish” – I guess I was a little bit glamurous ;))) the end result was this:
I’m so happy I got to do this, I had such fun doing it =))) Unfortunately the white Ingrid polish turned out to be too old or something because it never thoroughly dried (Better than gel top coat couldn’t save it) and it got smudged the next day… =( At least I get to observe photos if nothing else…. ;) Thank you for checking this out, I’d be happy to read any comments if you have them! =)
