<br />
Don't get scared when you read the title. It's just so you'll have an idea of what you'll see.<br />
<br />
I've been using PVA glue as base for every single polish I wore lately, and today I chose to shorten my almond claws and do a new manicure.<br />
<br />
Here's the result after two coats of Golden Rose Paris 79, a faded burgundy creme, and Essence Black Dress And White Tie, my newest beauty. The Essence polish mentioned is a speckled topper with -obviously- tiny black and white hexes and fine white glitter packed in a clear base. Fortunately, it applied flawless, it's neither tacky nor too thin and the glitters apply in the perfect amount.<br />

<br />
I know it's been a while since my last post, but I've had a few things to do which filled my whole spare time.<br />
<br />
Today's first post will be focused on my manicures from the last 3 weeks.<br />
<br />
The first beauty I reswatched and wore for a whole week was Essence Grey-t To Be Here.<br />

I'm surprised I managed to keep them almost a full month but they started to crack on the sides and were really weak and thin.<br />
<br />
Keep your eyes peeled for the second post of the day. Kisses!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14247692268539100110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302106342560171033.post-77700990383022839812014-08-04T23:29:00.000+03:002014-08-04T23:29:55.602+03:00Glittery StilettosHello!<br />
I finally get to post from my huge phone woooooooo!<br />
<br />
Today I chose to change the shape of my nails and managed to do them almond/stiletto style.<br />
<br />

The polish is a mix of the red Alix Avien and golden glitter top coat, but actually I poured the glitter in the polish so it turned out just the way I wanted. Below are some more pictures. Enjoy and don't forget about my discount code for BornPrettyStore.com.<br />

<br />
Today I decided my nails have waited enough for a new manicure, therefore I brought my summery colours out of the box, a few toothpicks, the beeswax balm and spent about 2 hours doing an ombré manicure while watching <i>"Eat, Pray, Love"</i>.<br />
<br />
As I had no any other ideas, I chose to do a Spun Sugar manicure which turned out way better than expected and below is the best shot of my nails.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2d1ewFJ9w00/U9UPCrfsvpI/AAAAAAAAA8M/p30pcgFZjH4/s1600/IMG_20140727_171737.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2d1ewFJ9w00/U9UPCrfsvpI/AAAAAAAAA8M/p30pcgFZjH4/s1600/IMG_20140727_171737.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used a gradient with sunny yellow, acid yellow, apple green, light turquoise and teal. And fortunately, I managed to take a few photos with my sister's phone before she leaves. Below are some pictures in artificial light (with and without flash).<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm absolutely in love with this kind of manicure, it's definitely my no. 1 WOW nail art, the technique is easy to use and it's definitely a good option if you want to impress with your skills.<br />
<br />
That's it for now, don't forget about my discount code which you can use when you purchase from BornPrettyStore.com and get a 10% discount when you place the order. I'll see you all really soon. Kisses!<br />

<br />
So I decided to promote my friend Anca's blog because she's really nice.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://happinesspage.blogspot.ro/">Here's the link to her blog</a> where she posts things that make her happy. I hope you like it.<br />
<br />
And by the way, don't forget about my discount code when you purchase from BornPrettyStore.com .<br />
<br />
I'll probably promote blogs monthly if I have time *and if I don't forget*, but that's all for now. I'll see you soon.<br />

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have some news to share with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of all, I sent BornPrettyStore a request for a collaboration. This involves receiving free samples monthly which value $10-$50! Isn't this awesome, receiving products without having to pay?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second of all, you can use my discount coupon code SVPPX31 and get 10% off if you purchase anything from their <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">website</a>. The other good news about the code is that, if it will be used up to 3 times, I'm offered free samples from BPS to review, which is the main purpose of the collaboration. You use the discount code, I get free samples which I post every month about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's it for now, I'll soon be back with some nail art. Until then, don't forget - <b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">place your BPS order using the discount code SVPPX31 to receive 10% off your purchases.</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's been almost a year since my last post.<br />
Honestly, I wish I had more time to post, because my sister's hired and now I'm her manicurist, therefore I could share some manis with you.<br />
I'm really excited that my first high school year is over, and now I have more time to work out and take care of my whole body, including my nails. I'm really proud of myself for losing a few pounds and managed to let my nails grow just due to my sort-of-diet based on more veggies, high-protein low-carb recipes and daily workout.<br />
<br />
I found <a href="http://www.neilarey.com/">this website</a> full of visual workouts, nutrition tips and recipes and I said "Why not?" And that's how I switched to extremely lazy to "I don't work out enough". I really started challenging myself more and more everyday and my family's proud of this massive change.<br />
I'll soon enjoy a well-deserved treatment and I'll go on a few trips, including Greece on my list *if I manage to find a guesthouse near the sea and quite affordable*.<br />
Okay, so I know it's not that much news, but unfortunately my phone's currently "gone" for some fixing stuff and I can't find any camera around the house with an empty SD card. As soon as I manage to find a solution I'll share some photos with you.<br />
<br />
That's it for now, I'll see you all really soon.

(+ Extras; Pic-Heavy!)Hello!<br />
<br />
As promised ages ago, I'll review the products I ordered from eBay and received earlier this month.<br />
I ordered this set of 15 nail art brushes and 10 acrylic paints, and I got a palette for the acrylics.<br />
<br />

They were about $6, and I got them from Hong Kong. They arrived in almost 3 weeks, and the only thing that kinda annoyed me was that I received the package OPENED! (due to the US toll rules, they had to check the package to make sure it didn't contain flammable things, drugs or something like that..)<br />
Anyway, I was so damn excited that I even did a manicure the same evening! The acrylics are highly pigmented, yet some of them were quite watery (?) so I had to apply them three times.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j9J87IvFIMw/UkiAE5moAII/AAAAAAAAAxw/pPhxxMA4LZ4/s1600/IMG_0794.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j9J87IvFIMw/UkiAE5moAII/AAAAAAAAAxw/pPhxxMA4LZ4/s640/IMG_0794.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(All done with acrylics except for the bases)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fO_Np6ebNqE/UkiAE6OJM9I/AAAAAAAAAx0/ZFASoGKgIw8/s1600/IMG_0795.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fO_Np6ebNqE/UkiAE6OJM9I/AAAAAAAAAx0/ZFASoGKgIw8/s640/IMG_0795.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Again, all done with acrylics except for the bases and the thumb nail, which I did a glequin row on)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This evening, I did my nails AGAIN, using the dotting tool included in the set.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And yep, guys, I have some more goodies! The first one is a nail growth treatment from Chissa which has visible results in just 3 days of wearing 2 coats alone! I've just re-begun the treatment yesterday, so I shortened them to show you the progress. The second one is a quick-dry top coat from Flormar which also gives extra shine to the nails (applied directly on them) and polishes (applied in one thin coat). The third one is a mini AlixAvien ShinePlus nail polish, which I got in a gorgeous red. It's so tiny and cute, yet really pigmented! And finally, the last one is a polish I ordered from AVON and received 2 days ago, it's the beautiful Nailwear Pro+ shade, "Sweet Pea Dream". It's a gorgeous nude crelly with very fine gold glitter and scattered holo glitters.I think it resembles a bit the collab shade "Majesty" from pIcture pOlish, because it's basically perfect for every skin tone, and for every occasion! I wore it at school and it was unnoticeable -until the gold glitters decided to show up-. Anyway, I also wore it on a day out in town with my friends, and I think I'll also wear it at my prom. It's so beautiful, I'd wear it for ever! It's definitely on my "Restock" list.</div>

<br />
Yep, my first attempt on dry water marble was such a HUGE FAIL! I'll do it again when I'll definitely have more time.<br />
<br />
Until then, "enjoy" this big fail.. (Oh, and ignore the mess on the desk)<br />
<br />
P.S.: The only marbled nails I like are the ones I did with the textured polish I did out of <b>Essence Black Is Back</b> and a small container of glitter, my brand new speckled polish from <b>YesLove</b> and a milky white from <b>Gabrini</b>.<br />

<br />
That's right, I'm back from my trip to Itterswiller, a lovely city in the region of France called Alsace. The thing I definitely loved was the view I enjoyed every single morning, as the guest house we stayed at was located on a family-business wine domain.<br />
<br />
In just one week, we took the time to visit Paris, Strasbourg, Colmar and, in Germany we went to Europa-Park in Rust, and also visited Zürich in Switzerland. I have to say that I <i>hate</i> Zürich, because I got "attacked" by bees. The big "up" is that, even though I've been pinched twice, one time after another, the second time I couldn't get all the venom out, so of course my arms hurt a lot, but I heard that bees venom is good for treating some health issues. Just imagine - some people out there would've even sold their houses to be me. (because, you know, health isn't that cheap)<br />
<br />
Anyway, let's go straight to the subject.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first part of this post, actually, is the holiday haul. I just couldn't leave France without getting some nail stuff, so I grabbed these 3 polishes from YesLove and D'Donna, plus the pack of metallic gold press-ons for 5<span lang="RO">€. (and here's also the mani part)</span></div>

(I was a bit disappointed because the glue spreaded all over my cuticles -I also messed up a nail on the front side- and I even glued together two of my fingers.. I'll definitely wear them again, but sticking them to my nails with another glue)<br />

Straight to the subject: until last Thursday, I wanted to freehand a model from a stamping plate but couldn't decide which to do, so I went in town at Just Cosmetics (for the ones living in Bucharest, there's a shop on 16, I.C. Bratianu Blvd) and bought a stamping kit which includes a plate, a stamper and a scraper (which I definitely didn't use because it didn't scrape well, so I used an old credit card).<br />

<br />
I know, I've been off for a lot of time, but here's a quite new post!<br />
<br />
Last week, or 2 weeks ago, I went to the countryside. Bad decision to have chosen to wear press-on nails. Besides I almost broke 2 of them, I even lost one!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's the manicure, done with a lovely indigo from Golden Rose Paris and a bright peachy-coral from Classics:<br />

<br />
I'm back with yet one more skittle mani! (Sorry for the background, I took these photos this morning while I was still in bed..)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9551R3-bYPM/UgIWlzHCmhI/AAAAAAAAAk0/fyWwsN1hxBA/s1600/IMG_0150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9551R3-bYPM/UgIWlzHCmhI/AAAAAAAAAk0/fyWwsN1hxBA/s640/IMG_0150.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I decided I've been using too many glequins lately, so I chose to replace the middle gleguin pattern with a gradient Spun Sugar, the pinky with a Cut-Out and the thumb with a layer of a row of glequins and a dark blue jelly.<br />
<br />
I can't list all the polishes, they were quite a few, but I can show you the (quite big) mess I've made doing my nails:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EMUzkpOyRLk/UgIXyYbbyGI/AAAAAAAAAlc/xETaESMu3SU/s1600/IMG_0136.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EMUzkpOyRLk/UgIXyYbbyGI/AAAAAAAAAlc/xETaESMu3SU/s640/IMG_0136.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And that doesn't include the Cut-Out, the grey accent nails and the jelly layering on my left thumb nail.<br />
<br />
"Wait, <i>grey accent nails</i>? They don't even have a specific pattern on them!" Exactly, that's the point! I decided I can't ruin the gorgeous iridescent pink glow with any pattern, so these are the actual accent nails.<br />
<br />
I also made some step-by-step tutorials (one of them isn't included in this manicure, but it was supposed to.. The layering was a complete mess.):<br />
<br />

(Glequin placing - use a the very end of a tothpick dipped in clear polish to place the glequins one by one)</div>

Glequins! (+ Lacquer Land Info)Hello, everybody! (take your time to read the whole post, please!)<br />
<br />
First, I want to mention that, currently, I'll only ship Lacquer Land polishes to Romania. Maybe at some time in the future I'll be able to ship polishes worldwide. I'm really sorry, but I promise, if you place any international orders, the delivery delay might be massive, but you'll surely receive your polishes!<br />
<br />
Now, as promised, I returned with a full glequin mani!<br />
<br />
The base is 2 coats of <b>Leydi 761</b> and, for the accent nail, <b>Essence Grey-t To Be Here</b>.<br />
<br />
I applied the glequins using <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5YlBIHzfz4&feature=c4-overview&list=UUDvkGV-l7rfRdwjzBNvkVBA">THIS</a> technique (thanks to Sammy for the tutorial). Can you believe it only took me half an hour for all the nails? (maybe it's because they're quite short.. <i>really</i> short!)<br />
<br />
Oh, and I found some gorgeous shoes in a Deichmann store, and my nail just couldn't miss the chance to take a few pictures with them!<br />
<br />

<br />
I won't talk too much tonight. Josephine at Rainbows In A Jar is having a giveaway! You can send your entries via email or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rainbowsinajar">upload them on her Facebook page</a> until Aug. 5! More information right <a href="http://rainbowsinajar.blogspot.ro/">HERE</a>!<br />
<br />
This is my brand new skittle mani, and also my entry. I have to say, I expected to want to keep it for longer, but I knew the cleanup would take a lot of time, as glitter can be such a pain in the behind sometimes! So, the best thing to do -being in a hurry- was peeling off the polish.<br />
<br />
"Seriously? Peeling it off?! Like, isn't there any other, more nail-damaging solution?!" Yeah, I know, this is the main reason that caused my nails to have ridges (and a razor slipping on my left thumb nail, but it's a bit better now) but I wanted to get that damn black glitter off my nails! I promise I'll soon do a glequin mani, though I'm not sure when..<br />

Uhm, no, that black thing is definitely NOT a liquid sand/textured polish. I applied a thick coat of <b><a href="http://mani-addicted.blogspot.ro/2013/07/brand-new.html">Essence Black Is Back</a></b> over <b>Leydi 700</b>, dipped my finger in <a href="http://mani-addicted.blogspot.ro/2013/08/attention-frankening-in-progress.html">matte black glitter</a>, then brushed the excess off and applied a coat of <b>Leydi 700</b> to make the glitter stay in its place.</div>
<br />
For the rest of the nails, I used the <a href="http://mani-addicted.blogspot.ro/2013/08/attention-frankening-in-progress.html">jellies, glequins and Fimo bows</a> listed in my latest post. While my left ring nail chose to wear a cute bow, the right one seemed to hate it, so I applied the diamond glequins (which will also feature in a new Lacquer Land "Crazy For Greens" polish, along with the orange bar glitters and the golden glitter topper from Leydi).<br />
<br />
I won't give you too many details about the 2 new mixes, just that one resembles coffee (at least, that's what I relate it to; and another detail: for this one, I had to ruin the lovely pink on my ring nails). That's it for me, I'll see you soon with a glequin mani. Kisses! xx<br />

<br />
Short and to-subject, here are some newbies for my upcoming Lacuer Land collections: <b>Leydi 845</b> (golden glitter), <b>Leydi 761</b> (I like to call it a bright apple green crelly), <b>Gabrini 308</b> (cotton candy pink), <b>deep blue diamond glequins</b>, <b>orange bar glitters</b>, <b>Fimo bows</b>, <b>black glitter</b>.<br />
<br />
A bit about the prices: the Leydi polishes were $0.59, the Gabrini one was $0.89, the tiny bottles were $0.29 each, and the black glitter was $0.75. Great prices, AND the greatest shop! My sister suggested it to me after buying me some light pink caviar beads, a few polishes and a "flower" press-on nails display. I also found flocking powder, nail charms, gold and silver foil, LOTS of polishes, nail treatments, nail art brushes (from stripers to clean-up brushes and even fan brushes!), acrylic paints, millions of sorts of glitters, caviar beads, rhinestones, glequins, nail tools, nail art stickers, tips, Fimo bars, I think I also found some water decals, and MAAAAAAANY others! The prices are great, I think I should start saving money, I NEED to go back there as soon as possible!<br />
<br />
Don't forget, I'm still working on the first two collections, and soon opening an Etsy store, yayyyyyy! Sincerely, I never thought I would do this, my mom used to tell me it's not something I can earn money out of, but it seems her and dad are actually supporting me!<br />
<br />
No mani, sorry guys, I'll post something tomorrow, maybe. Kisses! xx<br />

<br />
Today, I have a special post.<br />
<br />
First, a bit of organising, shall we? I currently have 1, 2.. 15, 16.. 17 polishes! (they're actually 17 because I used the last few drops of green for.. something, I can't say anything else.. Oh, and there are also 3 polishes which you'll find out about if you keep reading) I must say, I'm quite disappointed by the Maybelline polish, when I removed it, my fingers were turquoise, and I struggled to get my nails less.. coloured (the pigment stayed on the nail and I used 3 cotton pads with acetone to remove some of it, but I just couldn't get it off my nails.. Maybe I should've peeled it). I guess I'll never use it again on a bare nail (even though I had applied <b>two</b> layers of base coat), but when I'll do gradient nails (especially with my lovely yellow jelly).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TJ10aSVB_30/UflKuiPDOqI/AAAAAAAAAhY/pylBrpcEqCU/s1600/IMG_0050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TJ10aSVB_30/UflKuiPDOqI/AAAAAAAAAhY/pylBrpcEqCU/s640/IMG_0050.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The polish I'll swatch and review today is <b>Lacquer Land Paradise</b>.<br />
<br />
And yeah, now you'll all be like: "Lacquer Land? I've never heard about this brand!" Of course you haven't, because.. It's my -unreleased yet- indie brand!<br />
<br />
I started this a little while ago, when I wanted to send one of my frankens to a blogger. I currently have 4 Lacquer Land polishes in the "Crazy For Greens" collection, which is also the first one, and 3 of them are going to be soon delivered! I make polishes to people's requests, I still have 4 more requests to do and surely will have more! If you want to place an order, remember: there'll <b>never</b> be two identical polishes! Each one is different, as they're made to order. And also, the tags are all handmade, so their shapes, backgrounds and extras will automatically be different from a bottle to another.<br />
<br />
You must request at least one polish to place an order, and some of you will also get a surprise polish, which you'll discover in the moment you receive your package. The pricves will be in EUR or GBP, and they depend on the complexity level of each request. For example, if you want a pale violet with glitters, this is a low complexity level, so it would cost about 1.5 GBP (1 to 1.6 EUR). If you want a mix of more colours and glitters/flecks (just an example), this would be a high complexity level, so the price would be around 4 to 5 GBP (5 to 6 EUR). Place your orders (requests) and number of bottles at silvia.simion@gmail.com . You might be lucky and also get a gift!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I talk too much. Presenting <b>Lacquer Land Paradise!</b> It's a gorgeous mix of sky blue, baby blue and 2 different teal tones, packed up with multicoloured glitters and tiny crimson hexes. I built this opacity in 2 coats, but I think 1 thick coat could've worked as well as 2 thin coats. Below are some pictures. Kisses! xx<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not used yet to shorties and doing nail-art on them, but I couldn't wait anymore, so I grabbed (about) 13 polishes and cancelled everything for more than 2 hours to do this skittle mani.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Left hand (thumb to pinky): Glitter Gradient, Summer Ombré, Ruffian, Pink Galaxy, Caviar Chains.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Right hand (thumb to pinky): Glitter Flowers, Glitter Sandwich, Glitter Gradient, Caviar Chain, Light Ombré.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Here are the polishes I used as bases: <b>Gabrini Elegant 300</b> (base coat), <b>Leydi 700</b> (top coat), <b>Golden Rose Paris 209</b> (yellow jelly), <b>Golden Rose Paris </b>in <b>Forest Green</b> (no number, sorry, I had to give it a name), <b>Golden Rose Care + Strong 179</b> (neon orange-coral shimmer crelly), <b>Golden Rose Care + Strong 172</b> (neon pink-fuchsia crelly), <b>Maybelline Colo Rama 654 Super Power Blue</b> (azure créme).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The polishes I used for the models are: <b>Classics 180</b> (multi-colored & holo glitter topper), <b>Essence Time For Romance</b> (multi-dimensional round glitters, hexes and holo glitter in a sheer crimson base), <b>Essence Chic Reloaded</b> (black multichrome polish; shifts to purple, green and, sometimes, to golden), <b>Essence Absolutely Blue</b> (baby blue créme), <b>Maybelline Colo Rama 654 Super Power Blue</b>,<b> Golden Rose Care + Strong </b>in <b>Silver </b>(full-coverage silver shimmer mixed with fine silver glitters; again, no number on the tag), <b>no-name white nail art polish</b>, <b>Golden Rose Paris 206 </b>(pale pinkish-lilac crelly), <b>Golden Rose Paris 108</b> (eggplant créme), <b>Golden Rose Paris 209</b>, <b>Golden Rose Care + Strong 172</b>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I also used caviar beads, which I applied one by one onto the nails with a toothpick dipped in clear polish.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Below are some photos. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you really soon, probably with a summer-y ombré manicure. Kisses! xx<br />

<br />
Sorry for not posting in a while, but I'm here with a fresh post including my sweet newbies!<br />
<br />
(Offtopic: again, I can't find my Canon camera, so I downloaded an app from Google Play Store which improved the quality of my pictures. Enjoy less blurriness! Aaaaaand my back-to-shorties nails. I have no idea why they keep breaking!)<br />
<br />
Two days ago I bought some great Essence polishes, and today I bought a Maybelline Colorama and a glitter topper from Classics.<br />
<br />
I was running out of black, so I bought Essence Black Is Back, a créme with such a perfect formula and it is perfectly opaque and super shiny in just two thin coats!<br />
<br />
As I was looking through the Essence racks, I found the last bottle of Grey-t To Be Here. It's such a lovely polish! It's a light grey créme with a slight touch of fine iridescent (?) glitter in a cute pink tone. The glitter is hard to photograph, as I'd need to try different hand poses, but I actually captured it a bit.<br />
<br />
Today, after my freshmens meeting, I went to Kendra and bought Maybelline Colo Rama 654 Super Power Blue, a rich azure ("creamy blue") polish. I swatched it in only <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">one</span></i> coat (yes, it's <i>that</i> opaque!) over Essence Black Is Back.<br />
<br />
And, after that, while I was at the underground station, I popped into a small shop and bought Classics 180, the very last multi-coloured and holo glitter topper they had. Yay! It seems I had lots of luck, as the Maybelline polish was only one on full stock (about 10 in the Kendra store).<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'll leave you with the swatches. Kisses! xx<br />

<div>
I want to share some awesome news with you. Agota from <a href="http://www.nailglaze.com/">NailGlaze</a> chose my Spun Sugar manicure as a guest post on her blog while she's in Rhodos, Greece! I'm really glad that I've been offered this amazing chance, and I'd like to thank her, and hopefully she has fun on her vacation.</div>

<br />
I'm not going to post any brand new nail-art, as my nails are very short and I've run out of clear polish. Right now I'm working on some frankens, which I'm looking forward to send to some other bloggers for reviews.<br />

And also, <a href="http://www.nailglaze.com/2013/07/50000-views-giveaway.html">Agota from NailGlaze has a giveaway open for Romania only</a>, if you're interested.<br />
<br />
That's it for me, I'll see you in a while. Kisses! xxAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14247692268539100110noreply@blogger.com0
