Golden Rose Galaxy - Nr. 25

Golden Rose Romania, via Tanase Georgia, has offered me the chance to review 5 of their polishes of my choice!

I have chosen the following nail polishes (from left to right):

• Golden Rose Nail Art - Nr. 11
• Golden Rose Matte Top Coat
• Golden Rose Holiday - Nr. 83
• Golden Rose Galaxy - Nr. 25
• Golden Rose Rich Color - Nr. 49

Here I was planning to write which Golden Rose Collection is my favorite, but I couldn't decide :-). I like them all for the following reasons:

• Rich Color --> because of the wide brush, the vivid colors and the great formula which makes the polish resist on your nails
• Holiday --> do I even have to say it? It's textured!!!
• Galaxy --> If you are a regular reader of my blog you certainly know that I adore glitter. GR Galaxy is all about glitters. Now if we use transitive logic...I love the Galaxy Collection because of the glitters :-)

Yesterday I convinced 5 of my colleagues from work to try this brand and I can't wait to hear their opinion about  Golden Rose products.

The first polish that I will show you is .... Galaxy Nr. 25!

For this manicure I have used:

• Classics Glamour - Nr. 150 (also known as the NailGlaze color, view here) as a base color. 
• Golden Rose Galaxy - Nr. 25 as a glitter topper, and I am happy with my choice :-)

How could I not love Galaxy Nr. 25? It's a combination of red, pink, white and silver-holographic glitters.

I totally recommend trying this Collection. I have to warn you that this is not a usual Collection, though. Wearing it, you will "shine bright like a ... glitter"© and be in the center of attention. If you are a glitter fan you will adore it! If you are shy, just go with the Rich Color Collection.

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.

Thank you Anca, Cleopatra and Laura for organizing this event and for inviting me! Also thanks to the sponsors who have offered incredible goodie-bags. 

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!

 

Flormar Nr. 429 with Nail Tape Stripes

The time has come to present one of my favorite shades: Flormar Nr. 429.
I have used this polish in an another post too. You can visit the manicure here.

Products I have used:

• 2 coats of Flormar Nr. 429
• 2 blue nail tape strips for every nail (they give an extravagant look to your nails but without a top coat they won't last long on the nails)

TAG: 7 sins of nail polish

This tag is about 7 questions that you have to answer. If you like it, feel free to join!

Let's begin!

Question 1: GREED: What is your most inexpensive nail polish? What is your most expensive one?

Answer 1: My most inexpensive nail polishes are the ones manufactured by Natty and they cost 2,5 RON. That is approximately 0,5 EUR or  0,7 USD. Even though they are so inexpensive, the polishes dry quickly and are applied easily.

This is my Natty haul:

 From left to right: nr. 445 (pink) and nr. 362 (pink gold glitters)

 From left to right: nr. 372 (bordeaux)  and nr. 381 (dark greyish blue )

From left to right: nr. 363 (camouflage green) and nr. 392 (violet)

Saturated Moyra (second favorite)

It has been a long time since I last brought some nail polish. To end this "sad"  period I brought a saturated mauve-pink Moyra (Nr. 56), Radiant Professional Nr. 178 and 3 other polishes which will follow in separate posts.

I have to say, that this Moyra is my second favorite polish shade (the first being Rimmel-Urban princess. You can see it here and here).

Moyra - Nr. 56

Radiant Professional - Nr. 178

The Radial polish, the one that I used as a top coat looks really nice on the nails. The only problem is that it dries veeery slow. It's annoying.
