Happy new year - better late than never

Hey everyone. I really don't know what to say here. I know I said I would take a break and I am, because I really need it, but I kinda miss blogging, and having this kind of contact with everyone. So I've decided to come back slowly and at my own pace.

From now on this blog is going to be about everything. Not only about polish, but mostly centered around it.
I am going to try to put less pressure on myself about blogging, and maybe this way it will become fun again.

So what have you been up to these past few months.
I've had some hard times, some good times, and some really nice Christmas presents.

I got this amazing Yves Saint Laurent Arty ring from my father in law, which I absolutely love, and have been dreaming of for some time now. 

On my nails I am wearing Color Club Alter Ego. It's a brown shimmer mixed with violet shimmer. And this comes out as a metal gun color.

 The photos are not great because we've had no sunlight for a while now.

Color Club - Secret Rendez-vous

Sorry about missing pink Wednesday, but I've been really busy at work. And in the evenings we've been going to our appartement to get stuff in.

Today's polish is a soft lilac cream. This was two coats, perfect application and formula. I had a bit too much of shirnking with the Seche, and some tip wear within two days, but otherwise I am pretty happy with this polish.

So here are the photos, sorry I don't have much time, so it's a bit of a hurried up post

Color Club - Wicked sweet

Today I am going to show you a polish I thought was going to be a neon, but actually is a matte shimmer.
This is part of the collection Wicked sweet, and it's a blue base with turquoise shimmer, that dries matte, not suede, matte.
The particular thing about this polish is that is smells like candy, even with top coat on, I love it!! It smells really good, better than the Revlon scent ones.
I applied 3 coats and that's because I thought I could still see a bit of VNL. And then I thought it would look good with a coat of white shatter. And here are the results - click to enlarge.

Color Club - Worth the risque

This is my second Color Club. I got these two because they're a bit holo.
It's a light grey with a bit of a holo effect, and the removal is just as good as on the real holos. Application was divine, it needed two coats, and I even though I used a base coat I had no problem on applying it like on a normal holo. In the shadow it's just a metallic type of gray, but in the sunshine it becomes so shinny - I love it!!
I applied designs from my BM 205 plate. Aren't these new plates a dream???

Color Club - Revvvolution

My first Color Club ever!!
It's a sort of light dark gray holo, it's not linear, but still very pretty!! When there's no sunlight it looks a bit like gray sand, but when in the sunlight it comes to life, and there's practically a party on your nails.
This needs two coats to reach opacity, and with a top coat of seche it looks super shinny!!And of course this is super easy to remove!
So here it is :

Guest post - Cristina does nails - Color Club - Love 'em/ Leave 'em

Hi everyone!!
Today I have another guest post from Cristina, she's been on a roll recently. Here she is raving about this holo from Color Club, which is also on my wishlist by the way. I don't own any Color Club yet, but I sure hope to sometime soon.

"This is yet another new brand for me, my first Colour Club nail polish and I think it will definitely not be the last!

This is truly a “petite merveille”. So gorgeous and so special! The base is a nice caramel shade (more on the nude side) with lots and lots of holo fine shimmer in it. So beautiful!

The application was perfect, and you know what? It’s a perfect ONE coater. Excellent drying time, super wear – survived a volleyball match! ;)

Here I am wearing one coat of Love em/ Leave ‘em + one coat of Seche Vite."
