Cafe Latte with Golden Rose

Let's have a cafe latte with Golden Rose :-)


Products I have used:
  • Golden Rose Paris - Nr. 110 (light brown)
  • Golden Rose Paris - Nr. 113 (dark brown)
I really like how this gradient manicure turned out. 


Now that autumn is here, I feel that I have to put my pinks and green aside and bow the dust off the good old autumn colors, like brown, dark blue, rotten plum and black :-).

Golden Rose Jolly Jewels - Nr. 117

Today I will show you the second nail polish that I received from Golden Rose Romania. It is from the Jolly Jewels Collection, Nr. 117.


While the Holiday Collection contains textured polishes, the Jolly Jewels Collection is full of colorful glitters.


I have applied 3 coats of this polish. Not because 2 were not enough, but because I am mad about glitters! The polish contains a looot of glitters which make it harder to apply. By harder I mean that it is harder to create a perfect line at your cuticles with it's brush. Next time I use it, I will apply a simple black polish first, as a base color. This way I will not have to worry because of my cuticles.


 I find Nr. 117 to be perfect for Christmas or New Years Eve. The black base and the golden glitters create a very special combination and this definitely is a really elegant manicure.

Incoco Stripes - Twill Weave

Have you ever heard about Incoco Stripes? To be honest, I haven't... until I was contacted by them and asked to review their products. I gladly accepted and you can imagine how happy I was to have this opportunity!
The package I have received contained the following:
  • 1 nail color stripe: Autumn Nights
  • 1 nail design stripe: Twill weave
  • 1 french design stripe: Style Tips
  • 1 buffer
  • 2 nail files 
  • 2 orange sticks

Incoco (short for  Innovative Cosmetic Concepts) is a company founded in 1984, with its headquarters in Clifton, New Jersey, USA, which produces 100% real nail polish appliques. Using Incoco stripes you will have zero drying time and incredible designs in only a few minutes! I have measured that the first time I applied the stripes I needed 2 minutes / nail. With practice you can get even faster!

Let's see how the stripes look like.

When I first saw the stripes I was skeptical about finding the right stripe for my nail, but in the end it all turned out to be perfect. Let's see why!

Before applying the stripes, clean you nails from nail polish and don't use a base coat or cuticle oil. The cuticle oil part is crucial! Otherwise the stripes won't stick and you will be disappointed by the product. I have used the buffer they have sent me to clean the surface of my nails. I have used only the dark pink part and buffed really gently. 

After having your nails cleaned and prepared, find the stripe that fits your nail best. It should rather be smaller than bigger because the stripe can be squeezed gently. This is why everyone shuld find her perfect size! 


Apply, squeeze, arrange with the orange stick (included) and just buff the rest off with the little buffer (also included) and you're done. 

I am amazed by how easy it is to apply the stripes and to have a perfect manicure in just a few minutes! If you still have questions about how to apply the stripes, visit the official How-to-apply section of their website here.






For more incredible colors and designs visit Incoco, and come back to NailGlaze to see the review of the other to stripes Incoc has sent me.
On the website you will find nail colors, nail designs and french designs. They even have pedicure stripes and gel stripes!

The fact that Incoco is confident enough to send samples to complete strangers for review and trust that they will only get positive feedback says a lot about the quality of their products.

Pierre Rene Top Flex (Nr. 262 & 265) - Ikat Nails

Hi Girls!

Today I present you a manicure, made with Pierre Rene Top Flex polishes, ordered from www.magiq.ro.
The Magiq staff is very nice and helping, a pleasure to work with. Aside from the items that I've ordered from them last time, they put a surprise polish too in the package :-). Thank you! My boyfriend says that it is even prettier than the one that I have ordered :-)

Initially I wanted to do a Halloween manicure, but it turned out something ... different:


Products I have used:
  • Pierre Rene Top Flex - Nr. 262 (green polish)
  • Pierre Rene Top Flex - Nr. 265 (orange polish, this was the surprise polish). It's not a simple orange polish, but has a discrete silvery shimmer in it.
  • Bourjois - Green Fizz
  • Flormar - Nr. NA01
  • Flormar - Nr. NA12

The first time I have tried an Ikat design was during The Techniques Challenges. I am glad I have tried it because it's not that complicated and it looks really good on the nails.


Finally, the polishes I have used:
