Private party with Lady in Red

Hi!

Remember my post about new polishes I bought in October? In one of my many shopping trips I went to Graz where I bought myself my first bottle of Anny nail polish. They retail at 9.99€, but I had 20 % dicount so I only pait 8€ (this is still a lot for me, but I said to myself that I have to try it out). Anny has some really special nail polishes in it's line, that is why it was even harder to pick only one out of them. After half an hour of deciding I decided that it'll buy Private Party. I must say that I'm really not disappointed. It is a dark red/black base with red shimmer and dries to a satin finish. It is a one coater ( out of a habitt I still used 2 coats for swatches) 

Anny Private Party (2 coats)


Doesn't it look amazing? I'm really happy I chose this one over a random glitter polish =).

Now I'm not sure if you remember my post about Barry M Lady in Red, where I said that this is a perfect red for stamping, I was right (In my opinion it is even better than the one from KONAD, I should do a comparison post?). I used this one over Private party with Pueen 44. You can see the end results in the pictures below.

And a close up...


What do you think? I think I'm in love!

Suede goddess

Hi!

Today I have another blue polish for you(Deborah Sense tech 100% mat 10). I really don't know what is with me and blue lately, because I've always been a big fan of reds and purples, but lately all I want is blue =).
It was a love at first sight, and to tell you honestly I still love it despite what it did to me. I'll tell you about that later, because firstly I want to show you some pictures.
Here they are:


As you can see I also added some black flowers from essence stampy plate. 
I'm really sorry about the bad picture quality, but these were taken at night also in Ljubljana, and I don't have a daylight light bulb, but I really have to start tinking about investing in one. 
The polish has a pretty suede finish, because of the sliver and blue glitter in it. I really have to take some better pictures of this one, and I also have to show you some top coat pictures, because it looks awesome with top coat. 

I also promised to explain what this polish did to me. Actually there is not a big story behind, all this polish did was, that is stained my nails really badly. Today is the 5th day from the removal and my nails are stil a bit blue =(. But it is so beautiful that I forgive it that =). 
Here is another more blurry picture, but I really like the composition =)

The staining part was the only thing I disliked a bout the polish, the rest was a pure poetry. It applied as a butter, dried amazingly fast, not to mention that it was opaque in only ONE coat. 

Have a nice day=)

Some crappy swatches/layering/comparison

Because I can't find my camera USB cable I can't upload the pictures from my camera ( I really think that my brother has something to do with the missing cable) so I've got nothing else to show you, but these really bad photos that are quite old, but not really old =).


On the first I used 2 coats of Essence Black out from Black and White LE

Than I played with one of the fauxnad plates and Make me holo top coat, which is also from Black and White LE, but I didn't take a picture. I only took a picture later, when I added different top coats to compare finishes that they make. 
I used Essie good to go on my index finger, no top coat on the middle finger, ProNails mat finish on ring finger, and Essence matt top coat on the pinkie.



Top coats I used from L to R: Essie good to go, ProNails mat finish, Essence matt top coat


In the end I applied these polishes on my nails, I really can't remember how many coats on which fingers, because these pictures were never meant to be published, because my nails are really messy, but I had no choice =(.


Pleas be gentle with the criticism.

Have a nice day =)

China Glaze Flying Dragon (neon)

Hi!

I's been a while since my last post. I realised how much time I spend on the internet so I decided that I won't blog for a while, but here I am now with some nail pictures prepared, I'll start with China Glaze Flying Dragon (neon) that I got from Ivana. Thank you!

Here are the pictures:
Because it dries matte, I added a coat of top coat on my ring finger. The top coat really reveals the blue glitter in the polish.

Sorry for the bad application and pictures. These are the best I took at that time =).
I applied 3 coats it polish and it applied nicely.

I also moved to my student dorm, and I got a room mate form Slovakia so now I can practice my English all the time =). She is the best, and she also doesn't mind my nail polish addiction =).

Also thank you all for your kind comments and welcome new followers =).

Random things


I know, I know. I disappeared again. I promise that from now on I'll be posting more often. I have quite some pictures for you today. In the fist picture there is my last manicure I showed you, bit this one is with Essence Matt top coat.
On the seond picture you can see what I recently bought. Yes, I finally got BM plates. I bought it from slovenian girl Mojca. Tnx again Mojca =). She also sent me 2 testers from John Masters Organics, I really have to try them. In the picture you can also see, that I have a pink camera =), but I should also mention that before I met Ivana (you can check out her blog here) I hated pink. And yes, my camera was bought before I met her, but I got it for my birthday, so the color wasn't my choice.

The last two pictures are from Meggie lying on my favorite blanket.

Just that I won't fell guilty for neglecting other animals we have, I'll mention all the animals we currently have at home. We have two turtles(Michelangelo and Rafaelo), a cat (Meggie), a guinea pig (Ziki) and a canary (Koki). It's like living in the zoooo =)

Movie star?

Because Bourjois polish chipped fast, had to change my mani though I really liked the color. I decided to wear my newest polish Essence Movie star from We saw it first LE. This polish was opaque in 2 coats, no problems with application, but when I applied it, I suddenly remember why I have no other grey polishes in my collection. I HATE GREY because it is so boring, that is why I newer bought a gray polish.
Besides I had to look at my grey nails all day I had a really terrible day today: I almost ruined lunch(steaks almost got burnt), I got a bad news from college, I hurt my left arm and did the worst konad stamping of my life.
Well anyway here are the pictures :

Direct morning sunlight...(although all the bad things today, this pictures remind me that the day starded good, and that tomorrow is another day)
Shade....did you notice, that the polish dries a bit darker than it is in the bottle?

Note that am really ashamed of the stamping I did, but I like the color combination. (in my diffence I used this design for the fist time , I used Essence stampy white and Movie star for stamping, and I also deliberately made a bad picture*evil*) on top I put Essence matt top coat

Here is the answer to all of you who might asked yourself why I put the question tag after the polish name.

I was asking myself if this is really a color of a movie star, because I imagine their life like a wild trip, and I would newer put wild and grey together. Would you?

Can you imagine how it would be like if you would be a movie star?

upgrades=)

I'm back again :). Today I have some photos of my last two manicures, but in a bit different version.
The first is my ruffian manicure, the one I didn't like, that's why I put on a coat of MAY, but it still didn't impress me that much.


There is a totally different story with the second manicure, I loved hidden treasure layered over Thelma, but after a few days I can't help myself to do some changes( I put on one thin layer of joy 75), and this one was in my opinion amazing. Maybe I'm the only one who is impressed, maybe not, but I think that you have to see this photos.

On the sun

Frankenpolish: Purple roses

Hi, it's me again =), and today I have a very special nail polish to show you. It is called Purple roses( my brother's idea) and it is really special, because it has all in one, it dries matte( more satin than matte), but it's holographic glitters still shine on the sun. It seems a bit weird, but it is true, I put on 3 coats, but I think that it is a bit too streaky and a few drops of thinner wouldn't hurt.

A bit of holographic glitter, taken with flash, because there was no sun today

...the bottle...
...satin finish...

Essence: Underwater

Hi, today I have another blue nail polish,but this one is from Essence, the pictures are a bit old,and I actually bump my hand into something and scraped a bit of nail polish off the nails. I used 2 coats, without top coat. The aplication was ok, but there were some bubbles, so I have to try another base coat next time.

here is the picture shoot indoors





It became a bit boring, so I put on some MAY


Yesterday there was also some time to be creative, because my mother had a birthday and she really loves hand made card, here are two pictures of my mothers birthday card.
