BIG News from Alessandro!

Hello ladies!

Oh Yeah, I have big news for you!
I was looking for Essence Cute As Hell Trend Edition in our drugstore and unfortunately I didn't find it...but I got lucky anyway :) There was a brand new Limited Edition from Alessandro waiting for me :) It is called...hm...'he loves me'...'love is in the air'...'love at first sight'...Ok, I have no idea...it has something to do with love :)

There was around 7 different mini nail polishes in spring colors. I can already feel the spring! Can't you? I picked 2 colors (the most beautiful of course)!

The first one is a peachy coral - totally my color! I love love love corals and I can't wait for spring and summer - there will be all kinds of corals on my nails ;)
And the second is a nice pinkish color...it is not totally pink because I don't like pinks...I cant really describe this one. I like it. It is not only pink. It is much more.

So, are you wondering what is BIG NEWS from Alessandro?

Look at this photo!!

I'm sure that all fans of Alessandro already know what I mean ;) for those who don't know what I'm talking about - here's the explanation. Alessandro has quite a big collection of nail polishes and at least 4 Limited Edition of Minis per year. And the nail polishes were always marked with numbers! How the hell could you remember the number? And the answer to the question 'What are you wearing today?' was always so hard! 'Hmm...No.:239' Impossible!
And what do you see on the photo? NAMES! Real names (and numbers of course) Not very creative but still - Alessandro has NAMES :)))

Love Love Love - the pink that isn't pink ;)

Clementine - a pretty pretty peachy coral - this is also my NOTD

Do you like spring colors form Alessandro? And more importantly are you so excited about names as I am?

China Glaze For Audrey

Yeah, I know...this nail polish was already swatched like thousand times...but not yet on my nails ;)
I don't think it is appropriate for winter time...and I'm not sure it suites me. It's not really my style and it is the first minty nail polish in my collection...

BUT I love it anyway! It is just perfect! It reminds me of a summer, it cheers me up, it's not classic, it's different, it's...well...I feel great with this color on my nails!!

I got this 'one of the most wanted' China Glaze from anchek, a newbie in blog sphere - check out her (and kvacka's) new blog Rainbows and Blues

thank you anchek so much!

and now the photos...what do you think?

Las Vegas konad and Sophyto Normalising review

Hey ladies!

Here's my fresh manicure...nothing special really, but I like it.
I used NYX Las Vegas as a base - that's a gorgeous polish with dark green (but not almost black) jelly base and green glitter. I luuuuv it!
It was a hard decision...to konad or not to konad. I decided to give it a go while I'm totally neglecting konad lately. I used m73 and Avon Mirror Shine Gold foil and this is the result...

Cool, right?
Do you wonder what's that in my hand? For all who have never heard of Sophyto - this is probably the best face cream on earth!
You can read what manufacturer says about this cream on their website.
I have a terrible skin - I have occasional break outs and I need a good moisturizer because my skin can get really dry. That's why I always had troubles finding the right face cream that would not be greasy, wouldn't cause break outs and would moisturize the skin - and be a good base for my mineral make up. This is THE ONE! It's quite expensive though...little less than 30eur, but I think it is worth every cent of it!
It has brilliant ingredients and Soil Association certificate! And I love the package - isn't it cute?

Do you have any experience with Sophyto products?

Antiqa EOTD

I'm back!

This is the second blog entry today...I have to catch up with you guys ;)

This is not acutally today's make up. It was made few days ago but anyway - let's call it 'eyes of the day', ok? I'd like to show you my new love - purple love.
I have a strange relation to purple...few years ago it was my absolute favorite color! I still like the purple dresses and make ups and manicures....but only on other people! I hate purple on me...at least I did before I discovered Bella Pierre Antiqa pigment. It has a dark grey or brown, almost black base and a gorgeous warm purple shimmer. I wear it at least two times a week :))

I have tons of purple pigments and all of them are pretty...but I just don't feel good wearing them. But Antiqa...it's different! A love it!

Look for yourself! Doesn't it look good on me? :))

I used:
- TFI and Gosh waterproof as a base
- Bella Pierre Antiqa
- The She Space - Choir of angels and Kiss of fantasy
- Everyday Minerals Wet sand as a highlighter
- and Max Factor False Lash effect mascara

 

 

 

Thank for looking!

Nati's nail polish collection - ESSENCE

Hey ladies!

How are you? It is soooo cold in my room...I have 17 degrees Celsius and that's quite warm for my room (sometimes I have only 12 :)). Well anyway I'm feeling great! I have a day of, a lazy day of ;)

I had a plan for today's blog entry...I wanted to show you my whole nail polish collection! But I realized it is not so small and it would be boring to show you 20 or 30 photos at one time ;)
I'm the most unorganized person! I have my cosmetics and nail polishes lying in every drawer and every sideboard...I'm just terrible! That's why I never knew, not even approximately, how many nail polishes I have. Today I put every single nail polish on my bed and count - the number? around 130! I know it is not a big number for you bloggers but it is a huge one for me!

So I decided to show you my collection in parts - by nail polish brands.
The first brand is Essence - the biggest part of my nail polish collection is Essence. Probably because it is the cheapest nail polish brand in my country. But certainly not the worst :) I love their nail polishes, especially their Limited Editions! They are just great!
The approximate price for one Essence nail polish is 1,7eur.

these are all Essence nail polishes - different LE, that's why all the bottles are so different

Essence has 3 regular lines:
- Multi dimension
- Show Your feet
- Colour&Go (not on the picture) - this one is the worst. It dries to fast - in the bottle I mean

my collection of the regular lines is small...I like limited editions more ;) I still have All access on my wish list! It is from Multi dimension line

These are my oldest Essence nail polishes I think...I love Jelly baby Very berry the most! it's a perfect jelly berry color!

I find Made with love LE perfect for konading CLICK but I'm not very impressed by the Into the ocean LE...I only like Dive deepper - dark greyish-blue with multicolored glitter and shimmer

Here are my favorite LE from Essence - the first one is Creamylicious - Iced chai latte is the perfect opaque nude nail polish - Look at this beauty CLICK
and the second is Glam rock LE! Look at these beauties CLICK

Summer of love and Secrets of the past are...hm....nice collections. I'm totally in loved with Meet you in Budapest of course (it was on my nails for three times now but I never had a chance to take a photo of it) and I like Woodstock. I have to admit I hadn't tried most of them yet :)

and the last photo...for me the ugliest of Essence limited editions - Moonlight collection. these polishes are just too shiny, bljak. There is also the only nail polish from the Colour&Go regular line. There is glitter topcoat - you just can't remove this devil from nails. And the only beauty from All I want LE.

These were my Essences...all 40 of them ;)

Thank for looking!
