Golden Rose Nail Art - Nr. 117

I have told you a while ago that Golden Rose has sent me some polishes for review (first post -> here).

Today I am going to show you Golden Rose Nail Art - Nr. 117. To be short: it's a red polish with a really thin brush :-).

For this manicure I have used:

• I love Hean - Nr. 810 (see it also -> here)
• Flormar Nr. NA01
• Flormar Nr. NA12
• Golden Rose Nail Art - Nr. 117

I have used two other nail art polishes so I can test them one after the other and form an opinion.

Let's take a look at a close up:

It's true that the black and the white polishes are pretty old, but I had to sweat blood to get those lines as straight as possible! The lines are thicker, because I had to apply at least 2 or 3 coats to cover the whole length of the nail.

There are some reasons why I have worked easier with the Golden Rose liner:

• it's new and the polish is still very fresh. It has a thick and pigmented formula which was a pleasant surprise for me. 
• the brush is long (2 cm. The Flormar brush has only 1,5 cm and that extra 0,5 cm really makes a difference) 
• the brush is thicker than the Flormar brush (it's more visible at the end of the brush).

As my Flomar liners are getting old and start to thicken, I decided to try the black (Nr. 106) and white (nr. 101) liner from Golden Rose next. Nr. 130 seems to be nice as well and it costs only 8 RON :-).

You can find all available colors at the official website -> www.cosmania.ro or directly here.

Review of 2013 (pic heavy)

31st of December is always the day when I do a review for the past year and decide what I want to do in the following year.

Well .... 2013 was a great year for me and my nail blog. In January I have purchased my own domain name and started NailGlaze. This was my first post with the new name. Since the new name many many things have happened to me :). Many good things actually :-). Please take your time and take a look at my work from 2013. 

I have joined many challenges, like:

• The 31 Weeks Challenge

• Untried Polishes Challenge

• Flower Wednesday - own creation

• Breast Cancer Awareness Month

• The Techniques Challenge - own creation

• The Polish Addict Group Challenge

• Other challenges and and collaborations (Secret Manicure, 1st of March, Polish Days-Vintage, The Nail Challenge Collaborative, Tri Polish Challenge)

I received different products as gift, for testing and for review. Special thanks to Born Pretty Store, Farmec, Magiq, Incoco, Rouge-Boutique and Cosmania!

 

I have participated in the Beauty Bloggers Meetup, second edition, in Cluj-Napoca. This event was organised by Anca Pop- All Made up! by Aqua_shell, Coman Cleopatra- Passion For Stylish Life and Laura Mariana- Classy and Pink with the help of the co-organiser, Farmec.

I got my first indie polishes ever. Thank you IQJar for this beautiful present!

I discovered the textured polishes. Ouh my....I'm in love with them!

In 2013 I have written 190 posts. This means 190 publishes manicures (some didn't make it from various reasons:-P). I am sure a few don't appear in the above collections and this is why I would like to highlight some:

In the following year I plan to take on new challenges and collaborations and plan to be more active offline. 

One big thanks to all my readers and commentators. I wish you a Happy New Year!
