Golden Rose Prodigy Gel Duo - Nr. 09

I was randomly surfing www.cosmania.ro for an eyebrow pencil, when I suddenly ended up at the nail polish section (what a surprise, don't you agree? :-) ) and have found the Prodigy Gel Effect Colour polish. I found it interesting, how it was suppose to last up to 7 days on the nails, if used with the special Top Coat, but I decided not to order it because I have enough nail polishes.

The same day I was on my way to the gym, when I was (again :-) ) suddenly at a Golden Rose stand. The girl who worked there was super friendly and explained how the polish is supposed to last indeed 7 days if I don't do the dishes. Well, I use a dish washer every time so that wasn't an issue and I have payed 37 RON (~ 8.5 EUR) for the polish and top coat limited edition package.

I have chosen one of my favorite nail polish colors: a teal - turquoise, Nr. 09.

 I have applied it in coats on Monday morning and with the lovely weather I could take the perfect pictures to show you how beuatiful this color is.

This is a gel effect polish, which means that it will dry in natural light, without a  UV lamp.
I was so excited to be wearing this the whole week!

Unfortunately it seems, that the up to 7 day could also mean 2 and a half days. That was when the polish has started showing sign of wear. It wasn't so bad, but unpleasant, because I had such high hopes after seeing the description of the polishes.

After 5 days this is how my nails look. Disappointing!!!
The light is not so good today, so ignore the color (that remained exactly the same as was on the first day) and take a look at the nails.

I have 3 fingernails in total on which the polish remained intact, but that doesn't make me more happy about my purchase.

Don't get me wrong, I love Golden Rose, I have over 30 bottles of polishes from them, but saying that a product lasts 7 days which after 2 starts chipping and after 5 it looks like in the above pictures, leaves me without words.

I will of course use the polish again, because I just love its radiant color, but I will not be expecting it to last 7 days.

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?

The star of today's post is: Reminiscence!

What Sarey sais about this polish: "Reminiscence is made with holographic turquoise, blue, purple, and pink micro glitter with a stunning purple shimmer. It looks amazing layered over your favorite polish and can also be worn alone at 3 coats."

Whole Nails Stamping

Hi Girls!

I recently got my first request from Born Pretty Store to review some of their products! If you are looking for nail art products I am certain you will like Born Pretty Store. :-) 

Shipping is free worldwide and it took my package approximately 2 weeks to arrive to Romania. 

The second item I will be presenting to you is a stamping plate (item ID: 4938) you can find here.

Chaos & Crocodiles - Fallen Skystone

Hi Girls!

Almost a whole month has passed since I had celebrated my birthday. For this occasion I got a very special present: a small collection of indie polishes. Not just any polishes, Chaos & Crocodiles polishes. :-D You can imagine my surprise when I opened the box and saw no less than 7 bottles of the world's most beautiful polishes. Well, at least for me :) I had been craving for a long time to own the Fireside Nights by Chaos & Crocodiles but now I suddenly was the happy owner of it and six others :-D I've taken a group photo of them for you to see:

I've been told by the special person who gave me this present that Chaos & Crocodiles only ships polishes to the USA, so the fact that these polishes have managed to make their way to Romania is something of a little miracle. I'd like to thank Sarey from Chaos & Crocodiles for her support and for helping me get this wonderful present. She's been very nice and she packaged the polishes... well... with love :)

You can visit her handmade, 3-free and cruelty-free nail polish creations on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ChaosAndCrocodiles) or on her new website: http://www.chaosandcrocodiles.com/.

I find it hard to decide which one of these polishes I love most, so the one that I'm going to present today was chosen randomly. And the lucky winner is: Fallen Skystone!

Fallen Skystone applied in 2 coats

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)
