1 year blogoversary

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this blog.

I don't know if I should continue to write it. It has not evolved at all, not many people seem to like it. So I am thinking why continue blogging when it interests so few. I have made some friends but not that many.
Blogging has not brought me enough to continue. In one year I have made around 3 friends, and have lost a lot of time writing my articles, taking photos, and processing them. This also requires a considerble sum of money, that now will be harder to invest in my hobby, seeing that we have a lown.

So I guess I am not good at it. That is why I have decided that I am taking a leave of absence and don't know when and if I will come back.
This is my way of saying thank you to those who read this blog, and who liked it. I am sorry but I just can't justify the time spent on this anymore.

For those who liked my blog and looked to see swatches, you can go visit my friend Carolina's blog - she posts a lot more often than me, and has nicer pictures and better looking nails, and lots of other better blogs than , all found in my sidebar.


So thanx everyone!!

love you,
Ruxi

Essie - Braziliant

I know I've posting a lot of Essies but I ordered like a ton of them. I really love them lately. But be sure some other goodies are on their way. I have also preordered the new collection from CultNails which you too can order here: http://shop.cultnails.com/Super-Powers-Collection-PRE-SALE-Only-9569.htm
I think it's a good deal considering that these retail for 10$ normally. And this collection includes Unicorn Pule in it's new name Clairvoyant.

So about this post's polish, it's part of the collection with the same name from this year. It's an bright orange cream with pink shimmer. I loved it, but I'm more of an orange cream girl.

This was two coats, and it lasted about 3 days with no chipping, but you can't really take that into consideration since my nails are a bit exfoliated right now, and on those exact spots I got the chips.

Essie -Very Structured

Have you had enough Essie already? No? Well here's another one!

This one is part of the fall collection Carry On 2011.

I think this is one of my favourites! It's a brick red cream, more on the brown side.

This was two coats, great application, great wear, and great everything!!

And bonus a photo of Mumu with his new cat pillow, that I bought on Etsy at this store  http://www.etsy.com/people/animaltales. These things are amazing! My cat loves it, it's got an end filled with cat nip and he licks it like a maniac. The store owner even put Mumu on their page here he is: http://www.etsy.com/listing/80950872/kitty-body-pillow-meow

Essie-Size matters

Hello!!!
For today I have another Essie , part of the winter collection - Cocktail Bling.
This one is a dark strong red cream with purple undertones. The application was a bit tricky, but I guess it turned out ok.

This was two coats, and one coat of Wicked Fast - Cult Nails. The top coat left some streaks.

What do you think of the winter collection so far?

I am thinking I am kind of sick of all the creams. The fall collection was all creams, this one is all creams. Bla bla bla. And the formula on these is not getting better, I find the fall collection much easier to work with. I do like the name of this one, so funny!! right?

Here are the photos:





Almost forgot to attach the bonus photo of Mumu installed in my drawer
