Jord Wood Watch & KIKO

A little time ago I was contacted by Paul from JORD Wood Watches, and he gave me the chance to try one of the unique JORD Watches. These watches are special because they are made of a variety of wood. This not only makes them special and rare but also light and stylish.

I was able to pick a watch for review from the several interesting models the company offers in the following series:  Core series, Fieldcrest series, Ely series, Sully series and the limited edition Pujols Foundation series. You can take a look at all the watches JORD has to offer, by clicking here.

Happy Easter!

I wanted something special for Easter, so I came up with this stamping manicure (I'm in love with it!)

For this manicure I have used:

• Sweet Color - Nr. 005. Item Nr. 15727, that you find here 
• Konad Stamping polish, black
• Golden Rose Nail Art - Nr. 101
• Born Pretty Store stamping plate, available here. Item nr. 17928.

At first I stamped with the black polish and after it dried I decorated the flower with a white nail art polish.

Beauty Bloggers Meeting Cluj 3rd Edition - Manicure

As written in my previous post, for the 3rd Edition of the beauty Bloggers Meeting in Cluj I wore a black and white dress with red shoes.

My manicure consisted of these colors too:

 

For this manicure I have used:

• Bourjois - Rouge in style (red base, in 1 coat)
• Flormar - M103 (white base, in 2 coats)
• Golden Rose Nail Art Nr. 101 (white), 106 (black) and 117 (red)

Of course, Gilbert also had to inspect to polish :-)

Without knowing that at the Beauty Bloggers Meeting we will have a goodie bag from Rouge Boutique, I have used their cuticle pen. I like it because it's based on jojoba oil and it's not sticky.

You can find my manicure here with nr. 11 and below.

Challenge 6: Inspired by a SONG

Hi Girls!

I just can't believe that today is Saturday... again! I was waiting for this challenge for a long time. I've known what my song inspired manicure will look like ever since the moment I had started the 31 Days/Weeks Challenge collaboration :-D

I was inspired by Alicia Keys' song: Girl On Fire. I have first heard this song on my favorite radio station: Slow Radio.

Products I have used:

• Flormar Supermatte - Nr. M103 (white base color)
• Acrilic paints (red, carmin, yellow, white, black)

NOTD - French with Essence Stickers

Today, at the office, we had an official visit from our German Headquarters so I decided to wear some light nail polish and blend in :-).

Products I have used:

• Brooklin French Manicure  Nr. 4
• Essence Nail Stickers
• Astor Top Coat

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)

Challenge 4: Orange Nails

This weeks challenge, the orange nails, is really close to my heart. That is because the polish that I have used for this manicure is the one that inspired me to start this nail blog in the first place. You may go here to check out my very first posted picture back in 2011.

Getting back to the present here is my recent work with the same old bottle of polish. My little friend, the Tiger hasn't joined me this time, but I believe that the result has still turned out quite nice.

Things that I have used:

• Maybelline New York - Nr. 460 Orange Couture
• Maybelline New York - Nr. 630 Dark Denim
• FIMO Flowers

China Glaze: It's a trap-eze!

Today I want to show you my new favorite polish. It is a China Glaze from the Cirque Du Soleil Collection: It's a trap-eze! and it's a glitter polish!

China Glaze - It's a trap-eze!

  I find it interesting that the glitters aren't in a transparent polish but in a milky white base. This gives a special effect to the glitters. They look less.... glittery :-). This way you can apply the polish directly on your base coat, no need for a base color. For these pictures I have used a pink base color (Rimmel Lycra Pro - Nr. 291 Urban Princess) but I have to admit that I liked the simple version better.

China Glaze - Get Carried Away

I am a big fan of China Glaze and especially of their Cirque Du Soleil Collection. I have had the glitter polish “Get Carried Away” for a looong time on my secret Wishlist.

Apparently it wasn’t such a big secret after all :-). Today morning this dreampolish waited patiently in my purse to be discovered.  I have the sneaking suspicion that I know who is behind this and I can’t thank him enough :-). 

The polish is already on my nails I just don’t have a camera right now to take the pictures.

And now a little about the polish itself:

• It has 6 kinds of glitters (little silver and black spots, black sticks, black, silver and pink hexagonal glitters)
• The polish is full of the glitters. With one coat you will have sufficient glitters on your nails. Although, if you don’t use this polish on a color base coat you will need to apply 2 coats. Otherwise it looks like and unfinished manicure
• The base color of the polish is gray (usually glitter polishes are transparent)
• It dries surprisingly quick (this is a BIG plus for this polish)
• After applying the polish maybe you will need (not necessarily, depending on how you applied it) to use the nail file on the end of the nails in order to remove the glitters from the edge of your nails
•  I prefer applying a top coat for better shine and protection
•  UPDATE: it is incredibly easy to remove, despite the glitters. I just LOVE this polish. 

Pictures will definitely follow!

And here they are :-)

China Glaze - Get Carried Away

What do you think about it? I absolutely love this polish!!!!!

Challenge 1: Red Nails

It is time to present my first manicure this year! This manicure is the first from the 31 Weeks Challenge; this is basically the good old 31 Days Challenge, done weekly. This way it will be easier to come up with the new manicures.

The plan looks like this:

As base color I used a neon pink polish in 2 coats (Brooklin Nr. F2). On top of the pink polish I applied randomly some nail tape and on top of all a layer of red polish (Bourjois Nr. 11 Rouge in style; also used here). As top coat I used the OPI Top Coat.

This is the first time I use these tapes and I am satisfied with the result. I will definitely use them again.

I am doing this challenge along with:

• Josephine's World.  
• Mikaela Ella
• Andreia_vd
• Cristina
• Bby Doll
• Alina

Brooklin - Nr. F2 (unfortunately this is the best picture I could take. In the reality it has a neon pink color)

Bourjois Paris - Nr. 11 Rouge in style

Nail tapes (10 pieces, brought from ebay.com)

The next challenge is Polka Dots and will be posted on Saturday, the 26th of January 2013.
