Jail bars

Hello people!!
Yet another day in the life of a polish freak. I am going through my favourite polishes at the moment, and wearing them with a lot of pleasure.I am now wearing my favourite dark burgundy Zoya Anja, a very good formula, and gorgeous color, almost a one coater.

I applied on my middle finger a coat of Kleancolor Salsa much, and then stamped a design from my Bundle Monster plate BM 209 with Kiko 400.

I think it came out pretty ok, but not impressive.
Anyway here are the photos, hope you like it: Sorry for the crappy hand pose, this is my right hand which normally takes the photos, but since on my left hand I messed up the design......

Golden day

I have decided to stop buying nail polish, unless it is really a color I don't own. I have already reduced my polish purchases a looooot. I am also thinking of having a blog sale, in order to purge some of the polishes, because let's face it I can't honestly use up 500 bottles of nail polish in a lifetime. So why not pass them along to somebody else, who will get more use out of them than me.

So let me know if a blog sale would be of any interest to you. I will do an international one.

Also since I have no new polishes to show you, today's post is a revisit with an old friend - Essie Playa del Platinum, and a small nail art I did ( that is if you can call it nail art).

I really love this nude. I rarely wear them, but this one looks great on small nails. I had to cut them down, because they started peeling again, and then breaking.

The accent nail is China Glaze I'm not lion, and the stamping is done with Dior Timeless Gold and my Konad stamping plate n°M78. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Revlon Popular

Hi Everyone!!
Wow two posts in a row!
The nailpolish of the day is one I won in a giveaway over on Carolina's blog. So thank you Carolina for this wonderfull polish!

It is a jelly baby pink color , with hex large and small silver glitter. The small glitter was easily spreaded on the the nail, but the larger one was a bit hard to capture from the bottle and put on the nail. I applied 3 coats, to get opacity, which is a bit more than I like to put on, so I think that it could work better layered on top of a pink polish. Although in that case you would have less glitter.

Anyways I also did a little stamping using my Bundle Monster plates BM 203 and BM 201 using a Konad polish.

Oh and I also trimmed my nails a bit, I had a little accident, and had to phile them all down. 

Here are the photos:

China Glaze - I'm not lion

Ohhh this is a beauty!!! It's my favourite of all time glitters!! It has made it's way to the top very fast. It is part of the Safari collection, and it was my only choice from it. I couldn't have made a better choice.

This is a beige and holo glitter. The holo comes out in the sunlight so gloriously!!
I applied two coats for full opacity, and it went on smoothly. The application is great, and drying time is so small. The only bad thing about this is that it's a very hungry glitter, I think that not even on my third coat of topcoat the surface was still not smooth.

But when it comes to such a gorgeous polish, I am willing to overlook that.
I did some stamping with my Bundle Monster plate BM 208.

Seventeen cosmetics - 509

I don't know if any of you know this brand, but it is a very well known one back home in Romania. The products are good quality and the prices are not that high.

On my summer vacation I brought some stuff from home, and among them was this Seventeen nailpolish. These cost 18 RON there the equivalent of around 4€. The bottles are pretty large 15ml, and they have a huge range of colors. The colors don't have names only numbers. That doesn't bother me that much, as long as the polish is good. And I find these to be very good.

The color I bought is a dark gray with multicolored shimmer. The brush is good, kind of like the Essie brushes, the application was excellent, formula very good, just the right consistancy, and it only took two coats for full coverage.

I stamped on a design from my BM 206 plate with the Kiko 400 that is the holo gray which is by the way very good for stamping.

Here are the photos:

China Glaze - Under the boardwalk

Hey everyone, I've been pretty busy lately, busy bee, work and other stuff (like playing Hay Day- Essie Button got me addicted to this).

The nail polish today is another one from the Neon collection, and this one is a jelly neon, a pretty dark fuchsia color. I really loved this one. I bought it because it looks very much like the nailpolish I had on my toes. I had my pedi done in a salon, with a Jessica nailpolish, that looked amazing, and don't really remember the name, so I bought this China Glaze, which I love, but it is not the same, because the Jessica was a cream, and had a lot more fullness to it. But it comes very close.

I applied 2 coats, and it became almost opaque, so I left it like that. Later I added an accent nail using Milani one coat glitter - Silver Dazzle. I loved the way the colors mixed together, but I had to go and do something more to it - I stamped a design from my Bundle Monster plate BM 201, and special konad polish. On top of that ( I know it's a bit much) I added a coat of Sally Hansen Set the stage and here are the results:







And a bonus photo of Mumu, who right now is haracing me to give him his food, I can barely right this post, with him on my arm.
