Nanacoco's White Witch.

Hello!

So I love black and white glitter. Like, LOVE it. I keep on buying different ones but can not seem to find the one that I will like 100%, either the glitter pay off is poor or the black glitter ratio is much bigger than ratio for white glitter. Very annoying.
I stumbled upon White Witch by Nanacoco on Kelli's blog. I fell in love and had to order it right away. Boy, so right I was to do it! The glitter pay off is lovely but not so thick so it actually gives a nice extra and doesnt overwhelm the manicure:



Excuse the bubbles on my ring and pinky fingers. This was actually the last mani I finished off with the damned Seche Vite and of course it had to bubble up like crazy. Urgh.


One coat of White Witch over H&M Concrete Me. On the index and middle fingers I did some distressed nail art in the same color palette.

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Minimalistic splatter nails.

Hello lovelies!

Today I have for you a little bit of nail art I did the other day. There is something about splatter nails that I just adore and I really dont care much for the mess I create while doing this. Splatter is one of those designs I do rather often and today I have a minimalistic one for you :) Onto the pictures:


I started off with a black base on all of my nails besides my ring finger, the base is Orly Liquid Vinyl. I did the splatter with Essie Blanc which was also the base for my ring finger. I added a coat of China Glaze Its a Trap-eze! to give my mani a bit of color :)



So what do you guys think? Do you like it?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

First of the year!

Hello there!

Wowza! 2014 huh? Ive been such a bad blogger those last few weeks, every single time I sat down to write a post I felt so uninspired and tired and who knows what else. Everything I wrote felt like a such a failure I dont know why though. Even this post, besides long overdue, wasnt even suppose to be the first of the year.

The real 1st of the new year was suppose to be a post about my top 10 polishes of 2013 but I also got stuck on it and couldnt get on with it. I promise the post is coming!

Anyways this one ended up going to the blog as first cause I did the mani (I keep my nails painted almost always, I just cant get myself to write about it) and posted a pic of it on Instagram. I did kind of promise to put it up on the blog but no, I never got around of doing it. Tonight though, here it comes :)


This mani was inspired by very talented Maggie from Maggies_Manicures, she did an incredible job with this mani and when I saw it I immediately knew I had to try to recreate it. Gradient on my index and middle finger is done with OPI I saw... U saw... We saw... Warsaw (by the way, this shade is very close to my heart cause I was born and raised near Warsaw in Poland and Im a little bit home sick + the shade is amazing so), IsaDora Surfers Paradise and Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau. The black and white glitter topper is Gina Tricot Salt & Pepper. Ring finger and pinky is coated with a thick coat of ORLY Liquid Vinyl (surprise there huh) and Kleancolor Blue Eyed Girl.


It was a fun mani to wear but I had trouble with Seche, its giving me hell lately and I hate it. Here is the picture that I took and posted on Instagram, with a new hand pose Im thinking to keep for longer:


I think the hand pose in the last picture is very nice and I like it more than the normal ones I take but I find it hard to keep it this way and dunno. Im weird.

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

H&M Did I Tell You? - Swatches and review.

Hey there!

Today I have for you a little gem that made its way into my stash a while ago. Its exactly what I was looking for :) Recently H&M came up with a gorgeous idea of changing brushes in their line of nail polishes into much wider ones. Score! Their brushes were terrible! Onto the swatch then:


As you can see Did I Tell You? is a glitter topper. Clear base packed with small and medium sized hexes in rather dark blue shade (the swatches show the glitter a bit too bright) but believe me, its absolutely stunning!


I was afraid that the glitters wont come out of the bottle easily but I was wrong. Application is amazing! This is rather thicker coat of Did I Tell You? over a simple white to light blue gradient.

I also couldnt help myself and added a coat of a matte top coat.. Yummy!



I can really recommend this shade to anybody, its stunning and rather inexpensive.

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

A little bit of black.

Hey lovelies!

Todays post was suppose to be a post about my Halloween mani but an accident happened. I broke my nail. I had to cut my nails into ultra nubbins and now I have to recreate my mani cause I didnt take any pictures. So instead of make you wait even longer Im gonna show you something else I had on my nails a while back.


Ive done a gradient using Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, IsaDora Lilac Bikini and Orly Liquid Vinyl, followed by a thin coat of Black Polka Dots by Nubar.


What do you think ladies? I really enjoyed this mani :)

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Pastel galaxy nails.

Hey there!

Im writing this as its kind of late so dont mind if I say something weird. Im exhausted.

Anyways.. Todays nails are pastel galaxy ones. Okay, so I may have gone totally overboard with these. You see, I wanted to make this mani burst with pastel colors and as I finished it, I realized I used only 2 colors for it with a thrird barerly visible. What a bummer :( I went with it cause why not, will definitely add more colors to it next time but for now... well. Here they are:


I started off with a white base, Essie Blanc, then sponged on Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, IsaDora Lilac Bikini and a hint of IsaDora Power Pink. I wanted to add more but I just forgot I suppose. Must concentrate on actually doing my nails and not think about everything else while I do my nails. I topped it all off with a coat of Wet n Wild Halucinate.


The pictures dont do justice to the glitter, I really like this one, it sparkles a lot in the sun :) So what do you think about my pastel galaxy nails?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Blue madness.

Hey!

Today I have for you a quick post featuring a mani that Ive worn a while ago but never got around to posting it. I really enjoyed the mani, it was simple yet pretty - the way I like it :)


I had 2 easy coats of Take Me To Your Chateau by Color Club on my index and pinky finger, on my middle finger Ive done a simple gradient with Take Me To Your Chateau and Scuba Blue by IsaDora, followed by one coat of Wet n Wild Halucinate. A dotticure on my ring finger featuring all the blues from the mani and a Shimmer Mint by Gina Tricot.


What do you guys think about this one?

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Neon gradient with a sparkle!

Hello there!

I hope you are having a great Friday! Today I have for you something very bright and shiny, second neon inspired manicure. See for yourselves:


As you can see, my camera went crazy and instead of capturing the brightness of the colors, it hid in the corner and cried, which saddens me lots. I have no clue why the polish on my ring finger came out this way, the polish Im holding is Shiney Coral by HOTmakeup. On the right side of my ring finger nail the color is true. Bottle looks more pink than it really is.


I started off with a white base and mixed my neon-ish colors: (from left to right) Golden Rose Sweet Color 62 (green), Gina Tricot Python Green (yellow),  HOTmakeup Shiney Coral (peach) and IsaDora Power Pink (pink). Since Python Green has a pearly finish I covered the gradient with H&M Jo Is In The House. The holographic particles are kind of big so this picture looks at least weird. Im aware, but boy! So much holo in the sun! The brights looked amazing in the sun.


The picture is taken on purpose, to show you how much it shines in the right lighting. I was photographing the manicure at night so there was no sun to help me get this picture. 

Keep out for the next neon inspired mani :)

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Nude base + a jelly sandwich, with stars!

Hey ladies!

I recently purchased a few polishes from (new to me at least) Swedish company called HOTmakeup that makes all kinds of cosmetics and of course nail polish too. One of the polishes I bought was a true beauty. A glitter bomb in a clear base. You may be thinking why is this so unique? Well let me show you:


Now, I layered Stars and Dots (that is the name of the glitter) by HOTmakeup over Nordic Cap NP06 (nude) to show you this amazing, fine copper glitter. Probably there is plenty polishes with copper glitter but I havent seen any yet so when I saw this I knew I had to buy it! In the Stars and Dots there are also blue small hexes and small holographic stars. I totally love it! The blue glitter is bright and it complements the copper glitter beautifully. Stars are always welcome :)


So this is the beauty, I totally fell for it when I saw it so there it is :) Do you like Stars and Dots?
This wasnt a real review of it but I really wanted to share this with you! I didnt get paid by the company to do this so no mistakes there.

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Kleancolor Blue-Eyed Girl - Swatches and review!

Hello there!

Today I have for you a mani that is really a swatch! Confusing huh? Yeah, well I want to show you Kleancolor shade - Blue-Eyed Girl. 


As you can see from the bottle on the picture above, Blue-Eyed Girl is a blue yelly packed with metallic blue medium-sized hexes and blue fine glitter. I did not try to build up this polish to wear it alone but instead I layered it over a back base. This picture doesnt do its justice (yeah, bad focus) but in real life is truly stunning!


Drying time of Blue-Eyed Girl is quite ok. Ive worn this mani in almost a week and believe it or not, I had just some tip wear - no chipping! 

Kleancolor polishes have that specific smell to them and I recommend you to get over it cause they got many shades worth having, including some holos :) I hope you liked it!


Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Tart-y For The Party nail art!

Hello ladies!

Today I have for you simple but cute mani I was going to wear for this Easter.


I used China Glaze Tart-y For The Party as a base on all my fingers besides my ring finger - there I used Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau and topped it with Tart-y For The Party with saran wrap method. Then I added 2 coats of Laka Manicure Confetti on my middle and ring finger. I liked it a lot :)


Dont mind the bubbles on my middle finger, my top coat ran its course then :) I hope you liked my Easter mani (that is before I decided to do a dotticure instead)!


Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

Spring? Yes, please!

Hey ladies!

Todays quick post features some of the new Spring shades from Depend. I know its just middle of February but Im pretty sick of the winter already and I want the Spring to come early!

I did feel for a gradient (what a surprise huh?) so I used 3 of my 4 picks from the Spring collection.


For the gradient I used Depend nr 347 (peach), 353 (blue) and 354 (lilac in the middle). I topped it all with Black Polka Dot by Nubar (my newest addition to the collection). I just love black glitter and Black Polka Dot is just what this gradient needed :)


How about you, are you tired of the winter yet?


Ill post swatches of those Depend shades soon so stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx
