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

Old but gold.

Hello ladies!

Todays mani is extremely simple. Lately Im feeling very unfocused and cant wrap my head around anything so when the time came to change my mani all I could think of was that purple is my favorite color. I did not want to have plain purple nails so I added a golden accent nail.

This is how it turned out:

This is, reviewed before, Golden Rose #210 (you can check the post here - and be kind, it was one of my first reviews!). A beautiful, red-based purple with golden shimmer. As for my accent nail I used Ivory by Max Factor.

Like I said, its very simple, yet I loved it so much that I had it on for about 3 days!

Thank you for stopping by! :) xx

French tip desing.. Not so french-y!

Hey ladies!

I kind of feel bad for posting really bad swatches of the H&M 5-pack so I want to make up for it!

Today I have a delicate (is it?) mani featuring OPI Tickets To Paradise and some really, really old nail polish that I had in my stash like forever. All I know, is that the shade is red based purple with purple shimmer and that its by Golden Rose but thats all. 

As you can see I did not photograph it when my mani was "fresh", this is after at least 24h and of course Seche Vite had to put its claw into the polish and shrink it like hell! Thank you nail polish God that I used it all up and now gonna buy another top coat that will be just as awesome - without the shrinking part of course.

I started by painting 2 coats of Tickets To Paradise and stamped over with Golden Rose and konad image from plate m57, on my ring finger I taped off my nail the way so that I will get a tape-free triangle then stamped animal print there. The french tip.. I dont even know if it is a french tip. Its lacy but it does look to me like a french tip. Feel free to correct me cause I have no clue >.<

Anyways, this mani is delicate for me and for first time since long it matched my clothes! :D

Thanks for stopping by! :) xx

Summer Challenge day 5 - Your favourite summer colour

Here is my day 4 of the Summer Challenge - your favourite summer colour:

Yes, a gradient. Why? Cause I love it! I think its passes into "summery" definition absolutely right. I was going for purple-purple gradient but instead I took a baby pink and I like it even better :)

Even though it doesnt show on the pictures both of those polishes has shimmer so they look pretty amazing in real life. Camera doesnt justify the glitters in them. You can see a bit of it on my index finger on the first picture. The purple I used came out to be a bit pinkish but I dont mind. I like my mani a lot! :) 

Polishes I used:

Golden Rose 210

IsaDora Cindrella 

+ top coat

Summer Challenge - Orange - Freestyle day

Yet another day of the Summer Challenge!

Its a little late but well :) So, freestyle. I decided I'd do water marble mani cause its easy enough and how effective! Here it comes:

I had only one orange polish and it was a neon. I didnt know what could I do with it so I used some red and yellow shimmer with it.

Polishes I used:


China Glaze Hey Sailor
Golden Rose Sweet Color 63
Viva la Diva 26

It isnt much but hey, I love water marbling!

Golden Rose (Dupe for Dutch'Ya Just Love OPI?)

Hey you! I wanted to show you what I got from my lovely mom in a mail! There was a few more little jewels but this particular one I picked cause it reminds me of OPI's Dutch'Ya Just Love OPI! I dont own it so I cant really compare Golden Rose and OPI but when I was checking internet around for OPI swatches, they both are really a lot alike! Im so glad cause I was going to buy Dutch'Ya Just Love OPI but now I dont think I need to! Check it out yourselves:

Its Golden Rose 210, it doesnt have a name on itself, just a number. Polish is a bit on sheer side but manageable and fully opaque in 3 coats (3 thin ones). Drying time isnt long at all but I've noticed if you try to cheat a bit by putting on 2 thick coats, you will get bubbles on the nail after it dried - experience talking :( I was forced to redo the nail and, as I said earlier, 3 thin coats did the job :)

Heres a shot of the bottle, I wanted to show you the gorgeous golden shimmer in it. Just look at it, so pretty!

I had a bit trouble getting picture of the shimmer from my nails. Sun was shinning today but it was hiding every time I tried to take a picture, I swear! I tried at least 7 times but evil shinny sun was just hiding from me today! Heres the result:

So do I like it? I love it! For the OPI's price I could buy 6 of Golden Rose :D But then again, I dont own Dutch'Ya Just Love OPI so Im not sure if they are THAT close to each other. Anyway the polish is gorgeous, shimmer could be more visible on nails (I wouldnt complain at least) and the formula was OK. Nothing more than OK though.

Did you guys like it?
