BPS Collaboration

Hello!

I have some news to share with you.

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?

Second of all, you can use my discount coupon code SVPPX31 and get 10% off if you purchase anything from their website. 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.

That's it for now, I'll soon be back with some nail art. Until then, don't forget - place your BPS order using the discount code SVPPX31 to receive 10% off your purchases.

Thanks and I'll see you next time. Kisses!

Nail Polish Canada Giveaway

Hello!

And here are a few words from the organisers if you want to be a part of the giveaway (at 21:18 EET):

"When you select a shade to add to the prize it gets removed from the allotment listed below.

Initially it was going to be a prize of only 125 shades but Cirque, NCLA, and Picture Polish stepped in and offered extras. We encourage you to pick a favourite from them to add!

1. The prize starts at zero (but hopefully it’s much bigger by the time you read this)

1. Bloggers (that's you) are invited to post about the contest and in their post nominate any polish to be added to the prize

1. You get a custom entry (Rafflecopter) that can promote your Facebook / Twitter

1. The prize can keep growing and growing up to 200 shades (the more blogs that participate the bigger the giveaway gets)

1. Your blog is listed on the contest page along with the polish you added"

"

I chose to add the beautiful Zoya Bar. Unfortunately I do not own it so I googled swatches of it. It's a champagne matte glitter polish from the PixieDust collection.

Gabs is back!

Hello there!

It's been almost a year since my last post.
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.
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.

I found this website 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.
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*.
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.

That's it for now, I'll see you all really soon. Kisses!

eBay Order Post! (+ Extras; Pic-Heavy!)

Hello!

As promised ages ago, I'll review the products I ordered from eBay and received earlier this month.
I ordered this set of 15 nail art brushes and 10 acrylic paints, and I got a palette for the acrylics.

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..)
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.

 (All done with acrylics except for the bases)

(Again, all done with acrylics except for the bases and the thumb nail, which I did a glequin row on)

This evening, I did my nails AGAIN, using the dotting tool included in the set.

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.

 (My thumb nail, which had some sort of dreamcatcher with a triangle instead of feather on the middle row, wasn't in the mood for taking pictures..)

That's it for now, I'll see you quite soon. Kisses! xx
