Review - Impala Cosmetics

The following two items have been on my wishlist for some time.
I have ordered them from Lady's and received them a week ago. I have been testing them since.

1. Cuticle Remover

Facts:

• has a delicate rosy scent
• dries quickly
• easily removed with orange stick
• it has tiny abrasive particles (see the little blue and red spots on the image above) 

Contains:

• Glycerin (emollient)
• Mineral particles (exfoliating)
• Muscat rose-tree oil (hydrating and regenerating)

Conclusions:

• I get the feeling that my cuticles grow slower
• cuticle don't dry out as they used to

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!!!!!

Changes and plans for 2013

There is so much going on these days (and the past weeks), that I didn’t even have time to blog properly, even though it was a New Year’s resolution to post more in 2013 compared to 2012.

First of all there’s a massive change related to my blog (as you may have already noticed): it has been renamed from “Lililala’s Photo Nail Blog” to “NailGlaze” and it has its own domain name. From now on you can visit my blog at http://nailglaze.com. I haven’t changed the older posts, the photos are still watermarked as Lililala, but after all, they were written and posted as such, by me. They still are my “little children” J . Besides the name, I have also changed the layout of the blog. I hope this year I will make other changes to the layout, until it looks just like I imagine it.

Other facts about the blog:

• I have created a new page where I have made a summary of 2012’s manicures. You can visit the photos by clicking here.
• I have created a new page for my wish list. You can visit the wish list by clicking here. Once a wish is fulfilled, I will place a link next to it. This way it will be easier to track these dream polishes.
• It was a New Year’s resolution to complete a Challenge this year. I have chosen the 31 days Challenge. The starting date is yet unknown.

 At this moment I have 19 new polishes and nail care products to blog about. Some were brought from local stores, some were ordered onIine and some of them were a Christmas gift.  I can’t wait to try them all! :-D
