Challenge 29: Water Marbled

Hi Girls!

Take a good look at today's manicure, because it's the first and possibly the last time you see a water marble design made by myself. 
I just hate this technique. It's so messy and time consuming and polish consuming and ...  so on :-P

Madalina from Miss Happy and Her Nails has suggested that I could try a dry water marble (tutorial here) and this is what I have done. 


Products I have used:
  • Natty - Nr. 372
  • Natty - Nr. 445
  • Rimmel - Nr. 58 Lemon Drop

Chaos & Crocodiles - Fireside Nights

Hi Girls!

After a long pause I am going to show you another Chaos & Crocodiles Polish, This time it's going to be the one that inspired my boyfriend to get me this collection: Fireside Nights.

In every picture I have seen of this polish, it was applied over a dark base color. I have decided to do something different. I have applied it in only one coat over OPI - My Vampire is Buff.

The Polishes Challenge: 11. Ugliest

Hi Girls!

Today I am going to show you an old polish, that I never even dreamt of showing you.


I am talking about this pink base color:

Products I have used:
  • Avon ColorTrend - Peekaboo --> in the catalog it looked great, but in reality I think it is one of the ugliest polishes I have ever tried. My other ugly polish that comes to mind is this yellow cracking polish from Flormar. You can view the whole post here.
