Lil Shooters

Juhu, eno leto je minilo, odkar sva otvorili tale najin blog. To pomeni, da je čas, da malo proslavimo! In nič ni boljšega, kot nekaj čisto novih lakov za nohte.
Slovenska spletna trgovina
'Za piko na i' vam že ponuja novo OPI Texas kolekcijo.
Pokazali vam bova slike štirih lakov, ki bodo z veseljem krasili vaše nohte v pomladnih dneh.




I Vant To Be A-Lone Star


Dva sloja sta bila dovolj za popolno prekrivnost tega lepotca. Posobnega ga naredi predvsem droben srebrn šimer. Zelo svetla modra barva, pa ga (vsaj po mojem) popelje na a must listo za to pomlad.


Do You Think I'm Tex-y?


Ja, zelo sexy, mislim texy, je tale lak! (Vsaj) tri plasti so pri jelly lakih skoraj pravilo in tudi pri tem je bilo tako. Hitro sušenje in prelep sijaj, pa ga ločita od ostalih povprečnežev.



Austin-tatious Turquoise




Tale lak mi je bil na prvi pogled najbolj obetajoč, vendar je malo razočaral s svojo redko formulo, saj so na sliki kar štiri bolj debele plasti. Razen tega se nanaša zelo lepo in posuši v parih minutah, zato tudi bolj vodena formula ni ovira. Lak ima pod določeno osvetlitvijo zelo zanimiv vijoličen sijaj, spet pod drugo pa se sveti bolj turkizno.

RapiDry Top Coat

Nadlak da visok sijaj in obstojnost laka na mojih nohtih podaljša za približno dva dni. Posuši se zares hitro, zato opravičljivo nosi takšno ime.

It's raining man...

...we're not abandoning you. It's been raining a lot and light outside is just too weak for any colour accurate swatches. Bad excuse but true one.

We're leaving you with this song:

Muse - Neutron Star Collison (Love Is Forever)



Be back very soon,

Butterflies in my tummy...

I constantly feel like I have them, but not in a good I-have-a-crush way but like something is making trouble inside. Well, I didn't make this manicure, because I feel that way but I was just in a creative mood.

I used Barry M's Blueberry Ice Cream as base and I stamped some butterflies on with Essence's stampy plate (god knows what number) using Catrice's Back To Black. To make it more realistic I erased half image of the butterfly when it was on the stamper and made it look like it's flying. I finished up with thin brush and Barry M's Cobalt Blue.

Barry M - Cobalt Blue
Catrice - Back To Black





Yes, I admit. It's almost over the top but I love the result.

Note to self: PRACTICE KONADING!

Eyeko - Military and Pastel



It's time for Eyeko swatches!

As first I want to introduce you the newest two Eyeko nail polishes. Let's go:

Eyeko - Military polish (for brave nails)
Eyeko - Pastel polish (for nice nails)




Military polish (two coats)


I thought it would be dark olive green, but it's something between brown and green. I'd prefer less yellow in this polish, but it's still nice colour for fall.
Application was really good and drying time too.

P.s.: Ioewe said that first coat applied extremely steaky, but after adding second coat it was ok. She had trouble with that-one-drop-of-nail-polish-on-the-brush-from-nowhere, too.



Pastel polish (three coats)


Light blue with blue flash (seen on the second photo).
Applying this polish is Mission imposible 4. It's very important to have enough polish on the brush, but also not too much.


I really like Military polish and it's worth to be in my collection. :D
I'm sorry, but about Pastel I can't say the same. Colour is nice, but application was too bad and I'm afraid this is the reason that it won't be on my nails again.

You can buy Eyeko nail polishes here. And if you enter our eyeko ambasador code (E10205) in the special box at checkout you receive free gift!
I saved the best information for the end: free Europe shipping, mamma mia!

Be ready for other swatches,

Ivy

I was in the Jungle, baby!

No, I won't post swatches of Essence's In The Jungle from Show Your Feet collection, I will talk about Guns N' Roses concert in Zagreb.

No words can describe how I feel. It was unforgettable and crazy, see it yourself:

Guns N' Roses - Paradise City



I didn't expect too much from them, but they totally exceeded my expectations! Axl is old but he still can sing and they worked together like real thing, not just Axl and some jerks on the stage trying to look like rock stars. I thought I will miss Slash, but I really didn't and if someone says that DJ Ashba is plain copy of Slash I'll kick his butt!


I fell in love with them once again.

Perfect (like La Perla underwear)

Yaay, new season, new collections, new trends ...

I like spring, summer and winter, but fall ... fall is special. And I mean it in the best possible way.

Last week I bought new Collistar nail polish from autumn/winter collection. O(h)M(y)G(od), I'd call it perfection. Deep green with a fantastic light green shimmer, you can't walk by when you see it in drugstore. And Collistar bottles are really beautiful.


Collistar - Petrolio Perla (3 coats)





Had I mentioned that I love Collistar brush?




I wanted to try how would this be with matte topcoat. I tried Essence new Matt topcoat from limited edition We Saw It First and P2 Matte topcoat. I applied both in one coat.





All in all: I LOVE THIS POLISH SO MUCH!

If I fall ...

... in love with blue?
Today I'll show you a nail polish from Turkey. I bought it less than month ago (but it feels like years ago!), when I was there to visit Istanbul (and Basketball Worldcup).

I was like in nail polish heaven, when I walked into big shopping centre with Flomar and Golden Rose nail polishes. I didn't know that those brands are good known. When I came home I told Ioewe about some 'noname' nail polishes ... Ups, she almost killed me.

Golden Rose - 53

(sun)

Golden Rose 53 is blue shimmering polish. Brush is really soft, but you can still easy apply nail polish.

The only true green for me

I wanted this polish so long and so bad! Ivy surprised me one day and gave it to me, but that was long time ago. I sort of forgot about it but I remembered yesterday so I had to wear it.

Here's the proof from yesterday's post:

(Barry M - Green and Orly posing together)


Orly - Wandering Vine (2 coats)

My biggest wish at the moment is that nail polishes would look exactly the same on the pictures and in real life. I can only dream, I guess?
