Chaos & Crocodiles - Three Little Words

Hi Girls!

I am back with the Chaos&Crocodiles series!


Today I am going to show you Three Little Words.


After applying this white base glitter polish, I couldn't stop thinking of those three little words :-D. 
A really great combination of white polish with round red, pink and fuchsia glitters. Such a girly polish!

The Polishes Challenge: 4. Neutral

Hi Girls!

For this challenge I have chosen a polish that brought a while ago...but I have no idea why!
I wore it for the first time today and even my boss said that I have an "uninteresting" polish. This says a lot about it, don't you think?



Flormar - Nr. 119

Challenge 21: Inspired by Artwork


Hi Girls!

Artwork...artwork....artwork... This is how my last week looked like. Every day, constantly thinking about artwork. Googeling manicures, artworks, looking for some kind of inspiration....but nothing. I have absolutely no idea what to do with this challenge. I am stuck.

I was always fascinated by optical illusions and planned to do an optical illusion manicure someday. This day is today. 


Products I have used:
  • Rimmel - Nr. 400 Blue Vogue
  • Konad - White stamping polish
  • Rimmel - Matte Finish
  • Noname stamping plate, brought from ebay.com

Farmec Collection Polishes

Hi Girls!

I have recently got a pleasant surprise from Farmec: they have sent over 4 polishes from their new collection :-). Farmec has been producing polishes for a while now, but this is the first collection with such vivid colors. Yeeee! The new collection is also available online, here.
An interesting fact about this collection is that the shades will changed continuously and will be adapted to the actual trends and season. 


What I like about the new Farmec Collection:
  • vivid colors, very pigmented
  • nice little bottles
  • each shade has it's own name
  • glossy finish even without a top coat
  • they look a lot better applied on the nail than they look in the bottle. So don't be fooled by appearances!

The Polishes Challenge: 3. Three Colors

Hi Girls,

Here is the third manicure from our new Untried Polish Challenge!


This manicure was supposed to be a camouflage design but as I started painting I couldn't get my mind off a sponge I found in an old box and I decided to make this a sponge manicure. 
In fact, a camouflage sponge manicure :-). 


Products I have used:
  • Miss Sporty - Nr. 475 (base color). With a little exaggeration I can tell that I hate Miss Sporty polishes. I have brought 4 of them (I am an optimist) but I hate all of them! They all look so nice in those round little bottles, such a great marketing but the formula is a disaster. It's damn hard to apply them without having those ugly....polish lines. I am sure you all know what I mean.
  • Natty - Nr. 363. Great polish at an extreme low price. I got this bottle for only 2 RON. That's about 0.50 EUR or 0.60 USD.
  • Farmasi - Nr. 83. Classic black polish that stinks (maybe because it contains to many chemicals)! I don't recommend it.

Chaos & Crocodiles - Reminiscence

Hi Girls!

Today I would like to present you another Chaos & Crocodile polish. I find it important to highlight, that these polishes are all handmade by Sarey, 3-free and cruelty-free! 
The story about how I got to own these beauties you find in this blog post. 


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."
