Glitter mania reactivated!

A few days ago I was surfing on Pinterest and I entered "glitter manicure" in the search bar ... WOW! There are some extremely beautiful manicures out there!

This was the moment my glitter mania was reactivated! I don't care if it's hard to remove, I am a big girl and I will remove it ... eventually and start over again! :-)

For this manicure I have used:

• Astor Perfect Stay - Creme Brulee
• Essence Special Effect Topper - Glorious Aquarius

Yes, I know I could have applied more glitter but I was kind of out of my shape! I promise to do better for my next glitter manicure.

I like it how the nude polish looks when combined with turquoise glitter! Don't you?

Blue Stamping

Hi Girls!

I am into stamping ... again!

For today's manicure I have used a blue stamping polish that I got from Born Pretty Store for review. 

I have been asked: "What is so special about stamping polishes?", "Aren't they ordinary polishes in a little bottle?". Well ... yes and no. I have tried stamping with several polishes so far and from my experience stamping only works when the polish used for creating the design is pigmented enough. If you have to apply 2 or more coats of a polish to get the color you see in the bottle, it will certainly not work as a stamping polish. Your stamping polish has to be very pigmented and has to have a thicker formula then usual polishes. Now, this is exactly what a stamping polish is: thick and pigmented. Using a special stamping polish doesn't guarantee a perfect stamping, but it sure is a major help.  

Products I have used:

• China Glaze - Icicle (silver base)
• Stamping polish from Born Pretty Store. Item Nr. 5502, shade 1. Check out this item and the other shades here. 
• Noname stamping plate 

Polishes from Hungary

Hi Girls!

I have spent my last weekend in Hungary, Hajduszoboszló at the local Aqua Palace  Although the main purpose of this weekend was to relax I couldn't fight visiting a Rossmann store in search of some new nail polishes.

This is the little haul I came home with:

From left to right:

• NYC - Nr. 105 Lights-Camera-Glitter
• Essence - Peel off base coat 
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 10 Glorious Aquarius

I had been dreaming of this polish from the moment I've seen it here and now I finally got it :-D. I am talking about Lovely Color Mania - Nr. 166.

NYC - Nr. 105 Lights-Camera-Glitter 
This is a glitter polish containing light blue, light pink hexagonal glitters and silver dot glitters.
I plan to use it on top of a dark blue polish.

Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
Another glitter polish, this time only with hexagonal glitters. It contains 3 colors: light green, blue and black.

Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 10 Glorious Aquarius
At first I didn't want to buy this one but my boyfriend liked it so much I couldn't leave it there. Now it's one of my favorites, I am so glad I have brought it! This polish is all about blue and turquoise glitters in different shapes and sizes.

Essence - Peel off base coat 
This product is just amazing! I love it! It's like...fallen from the glitter polish heaven :-D. It takes under a minute to remove the "worst" glitter I own: Milani Jewel FX in 3 coats!

Lovely Color Mania - Nr. 166
As I have said, this polish is a dream came true. On top of all, it had only cost me 246 Ft. That's about 4 RON or 1 EURO!  

Challenge 10: Green Nails

Hi Girls!

I just can't believe it's Saturday again!
Although I love green, I had a rough time coming up with something interesting. I had to remake my middle finger from my left hand 5 times! For a moment I wanted to give up on this challenge when my boyfriend pointed out a polish I had almost forgotten about :-)

Products I have used:

• Orly -  Nr. 40665 Green Apple -> newest polish from the stash and my first Orly ever. I especially love the rubberized top and the creamy formula. For this manicure I have used 2 coats and it dried really fast. 
• Essence Peel Off Base Coat -> wonderful product. I can now remove the dust from my "toughest" glitter polishes. 
•  Milani Jewel FX - Nr. 531 Gold -> in 2 thick coats. I was surprised that it dried as fast as the Orly.
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper - Nr. 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
• Gold Caviar -> brought online from ebay.com. This is my first attempt, please be gentle :-)
