Golden Rose Matte Top Coat

There are 2 products that I always use for my manicures: the base coat and the top coat. But there is a third, less know brother: the matte top coat!

I have bought one a few years ago, from Rimmel, and I think that I have used it for a maximum of 5 times. It's just not my thing. Recently I got the chance to test the matte top coat from Golden Rose (it's available here). 

These are my nails without the matte top coat:

For this manicure I have used:
  • Golden Rose with Protein - Nr. 336 (red)
  • Golden Rose Care+Strong - Nr. 200 (green)

 ... and now I have applied the matte top coat, but only on half of each nail:

I have separated the shiny and the matte parts with Golden Rose Nail Art - 117. The effect is more visible on the red polish. 

I can't say I don't like it, I just prefer my nails bright and shiny :-). What do you think about matte top coats? Have you used them, do you like them?

BPS - Neon Nail Studs

Today's post is a special anniversary post with number 300 on www.nailglaze.com!

When the colored nail studs started to appear, I wondered how the bloggers had so much patience to paint each and every stud... I am not joking, but some serious time went by until I realized that those were in fact colored studs!

Today I am going to show you a manicure made with neon colored studs. They have been sent to me by Born Pretty Store for a review.


For this manicure I have used:
  • Golden Rose with protein - Nr. 336. I have brought it from www.cosmania.com. But it's an older Collection that's not available anymore in Romania. If you find polishes from this Collection, don't hesitate to buy them because they have an excellent formula. They are long lasting and have a great and saturated colors. 
  • Nail Studs from Born Pretty Store. It's item Nr. 12408 and you can find it here.


The wheal contains 2-3 mm nail studs in the form of dots, large squares, small squares and leafs. Every wheal contains 3 colors. I have chosen pink, neon green and blue, but Born Pretty Store offers 4 different color combinations. I am sure you will find the one that suits your needs best :-)


For this manicure I have used the dots and the small squares. I think they look nice in this combination :-)


What I really like about these nail studs is that they are only 2-3 mm wide and they stick well to your nails. I have tried bigger studs too, but they just won't follow the natural curvature of my nails and would fall off easily. It's not the case with these, though :-)
