Challenge 11: Flowers

Hi Girls!

Today it was supposed to be a beautiful spring day, after all it's almost April!

Unfortunately the winter is way too stubborn to let us enjoy some sunshine. This is why my flowers aren't the best I could have done. I am just not in a mood for drawing flowers. Drawing frostwork would have been more suitable for this weather!

Products I have used:

• Maybelline - Nr. 795 Cloudy Grey (grey)
• Rimmel - Nr. 55 Sunshine (yellow)
• Flormar - Nr. 445 (purple)
• Dotting Tool

The Tri-Polish Challenge - Manicure 4

Hi there!

Today is the last day of the first edition of The Tri-Polish Challenge. The colors of March were: coral, green and purple.

This is the manicure for which I have used all there polishes at the same time! 

2 Years Anniversary and Short Story

My dear readers,

this is a very special day for me. My blog turns 2 years old today! :-)

As you know, I have decided to organize my first giveaway for this occasion. The happy winner is Daniela Zaharia. Congatulations! 

I would like to share with you the short story of my little blog, which I am so proud of. 

On the 27th of March, 2011 I bought an orange nail polish from Auchan, during a launch break. I went home, painted my nails and and I saw that they looked really nice. I couldn't resist taking a photo while I was holding Tiger, Winnie The Pooh's friend. The days passed and I was so proud of that photo (I even printed it out), I wanted to show it to the whole world! This is when the idea of a blog popped into my mind!

At first the blog was called: Lililala's Photo Nail Blog (maybe some of you still remember it as such). My plan was to post mostly photos (my English wasn't that good at the time). 

The first posted manicure

Maybelline New York - Nr. 460 Orange Couture

At the beginning I was posting only NOTDs (of course, at the time I had no idea that they were in fact NOTDs). I had no idea what is a blogroll, GFC, Labels and much more. :-) I just posted my daily manicure.

Time had passed and during my first year I had posted 46 manicures/NOTDs. 

In 2012 I got promoted, life started to accelerate and Lililala's Photo Nail Blog was left behind. There had been only 29 posted manicures, none in September, October and November. (I am so ashamed of this fact).

Then in January 2013 something happened. I realized that I am still in love with nail polishes (more than ever, my stash grew from 20 to 150 polishes). In January 2013 I bought my own domain name, started to redesign my blog, joined several groups on Facebook and participated in several challenges.

I owe special thanks to the members of Girls Online who supported me and accepted me in their collective. I started to grow the moment I joined you!

Today I have 127  followers, 119 published posts (including this one :-) ), around 28.000 views and a mind full of potential manicures! 

Thank you all for your support, visits and kind words! 

The Tri-Polish Challenge - Manicure 3

Hi Girls!

It's time for the third manicure from The Tri-Polish Challange. You can find the first two manicures here and here.

This time I have used the green and the coral polishes and made a cloud manicure. Yes know, this doesn't look like a coral polish. I haven't applied it directly on the white polish, but on top of the green one. This is why it looks darker than in the previous manicures.

Polishes from Hungary

Hi Girls!

I have spent my last weekend in Hungary, Hajduszoboszló at the local Aqua Palace  Although the main purpose of this weekend was to relax I couldn't fight visiting a Rossmann store in search of some new nail polishes.

This is the little haul I came home with:

From left to right:

• NYC - Nr. 105 Lights-Camera-Glitter
• Essence - Peel off base coat 
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 10 Glorious Aquarius

I had been dreaming of this polish from the moment I've seen it here and now I finally got it :-D. I am talking about Lovely Color Mania - Nr. 166.

NYC - Nr. 105 Lights-Camera-Glitter 
This is a glitter polish containing light blue, light pink hexagonal glitters and silver dot glitters.
I plan to use it on top of a dark blue polish.

Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
Another glitter polish, this time only with hexagonal glitters. It contains 3 colors: light green, blue and black.

Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper - Nr. 10 Glorious Aquarius
At first I didn't want to buy this one but my boyfriend liked it so much I couldn't leave it there. Now it's one of my favorites, I am so glad I have brought it! This polish is all about blue and turquoise glitters in different shapes and sizes.

Essence - Peel off base coat 
This product is just amazing! I love it! It's like...fallen from the glitter polish heaven :-D. It takes under a minute to remove the "worst" glitter I own: Milani Jewel FX in 3 coats!

Lovely Color Mania - Nr. 166
As I have said, this polish is a dream came true. On top of all, it had only cost me 246 Ft. That's about 4 RON or 1 EURO!  

Challenge 10: Green Nails

Hi Girls!

I just can't believe it's Saturday again!
Although I love green, I had a rough time coming up with something interesting. I had to remake my middle finger from my left hand 5 times! For a moment I wanted to give up on this challenge when my boyfriend pointed out a polish I had almost forgotten about :-)

Products I have used:

• Orly -  Nr. 40665 Green Apple -> newest polish from the stash and my first Orly ever. I especially love the rubberized top and the creamy formula. For this manicure I have used 2 coats and it dried really fast. 
• Essence Peel Off Base Coat -> wonderful product. I can now remove the dust from my "toughest" glitter polishes. 
•  Milani Jewel FX - Nr. 531 Gold -> in 2 thick coats. I was surprised that it dried as fast as the Orly.
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper - Nr. 13 Mrs and Mr Glitter
• Gold Caviar -> brought online from ebay.com. This is my first attempt, please be gentle :-)
