31 Day NA Challenge - Day 25: Inspired by Fashion

Hello beauties!

I have such a luck sometimes... I arrived at my boyfriend's place on Wednesday and now I'm so sick, I just stay in bed all day long and feel miserable. Why, oh universe, why??

Nonetheless I have a post for you today! Today's challenge was pretty easy actually - I just searched Google for some fashion inspiration and one of the first pics caught my eye immediately!

And here is my mani inspired by the look above: 


For this nail art I used only Essence polishes, which are: Snow Alert!, Black is Back and Back to the 50's (50's Girls Reloaded LE). 


I don't know why, but once I had finished the mani I thought it would look awesome in matte. So I added one coat of Essence Matte TC - and I have to say I like the result!


Hope you like it and thanks for reading <3

Today's Swatch: Avon - Grey Cement + Avon Haul

Hey there!
Oh gosh, I'm so excited about tomorrow!! If your new here, or maybe just missed it: this is what I'm so excited about :D Can't wait to start and see all the other Nail Designs, from the ones who participate ;)

So, today I am showing you another gorgeous polish from Avon! I'm falling in love with this polish brand ;) It's Grey Cement, a matte polish, which is the perfect grey! Not to dark and not to light...just gorgeous!
The application was a bit hard at first, because this polish dries within seconds! So you have to be fast...and I mean fast as lightning, no kidding :) Even if you manage to apply it evenly, you'll still see some brush strokes (1st pic), but they're not that noticeable in real life. I used 2 coats.
All in all I love how matte it is, because some other matte polishes I own, have more like a satin finish. That's why I ordered the other 2 matte polishes, that I don't already have, from Avon, so I have them all. They're just so cool :D
And here are the ones I ordered this month:
 From left to right:
Ruby Slippers, Violetta Sparkle (swatch here), Gunmetal, Blue Shock
Inky Blue, Grey Cement, Red Velvet
I really like the names of the polishes, because they describe them perfectly ;) But why couldn't Avon manage to put them on the bottles as well? I had to cut out the names from the boxes they came in and tape it on the cap :P
If you know some other cool Avon polishes, that are just a must-have, let me know!

See ya tomorrow with the first Challenge!!! Yey :D
