Today´s Swatch: Avon - Sequined Turquoise + Mini Haul

Hello, my lovelies! :)
Today I got a little haul for you and a beautiful swatch :) Let´s start with the polishes I´ve bought the last week:

 Finally 2 more beautiful O.P.I´s in my collection :) Sephora opened a shop here in my city and they have some awesome stuff, but sadly they don´t have that much nail polish ...maybe it´ll change :) I got: O.P.I - Suzi & the Lifeguard (rosé) and Lincoln Park at Midnight, a beautiful dark purple. What I´m also excited about, is the fact that one of my colleagues works with AVON and I can buy some awesome polishes from there :) I got Sequined Turquoise to test out their polishes, and it´s beautiful!

These 3 beauties I got mailed by my mom, along with some other cool things and some back-up bottles of my favorite Essence polishes :) It´s Essence - Blue Addicted , Sally Hansen - Brick Wall (it was only 50cents !) and Essence Remix your Style - Love TC.
Okey, and now here is Avon Sequined Turquoise, my new favorite polish! (Catrice - Forget-me-not, you´re now on the second place! :D)

I won´t talk to much about it, because there are no words for this beauty!

Application = great !

Coats = 2 (no TC)

Like what you see? :) Let me know about other must-have Avon polishes, if you know any! ;)

 Have a good night! :-* 

P.S.: No choosing numbers today, because I broke one of my nails badly and I´ll wear only neutral colors til it grows out a little bit :( Sorry!

Nail Art Monday Nr.10 - Hearts ♥

Hello, my dear readers!
There are now 203 of you! I can´t believe it :D I´m doing this since April and I never would have thought I´d have so many readers by now ... wow :) I thank each and every one of you, for reading my posts, sharing them, comment on them :) I love what I do and I love it even more, when I see that other people appreciate it ;)

This week on PAA, the theme was "hearts", and there couldn´t have been a better theme to show my readers some love :)

This was inspired by a technique I saw once on My Simple Little Pleasures, but I don´t know which post it was. It´s very easy and quick to do, but the effect is awesome. :) 

I used: Essence - Back to the 50´s (red) and Nail Collection Matte Nr. 4 (white). The light was not the best today, otherwise I would have done a swatch 

of the red polish :)

Have you ever tried this technique before ? :) Let me know!

Have a nice evening ♥

Nail Art Tutorial: Random Dots & Stripes

Hello everybody!
It´s Saturday! How is your weekend so far? :) I have a new nail art tutorial for you guys! :DLet´s start !

Step 1 : After applying your base color (I chose black and silver to have a better contrast), take a small brush and start painting random stripes. You can start at the base, or at the tip ... it´s totally up to you :)




Step 2 : Since it´s random, the lines can be straight, round or wavy. I like to alternate the stripes a little bit :)






Step 3 : Basically you can paint as many stripes as you wish, but keep in mind, there has to be some space left for your dots! :)





Step 4: After you´ve finished your stripes place some dots along them. Alternate smaller and bigger dots to make it look more random :)

And that´s it! Pretty simple right ? It´s a great design for beginners, because you can do what you want...just go crazy with your dots and stripes :D


If you wanna make it look more fun, you can use more colors for the stripes/dots. I did my nails both ways, so you can see how it looks.

I could use that as a full manicure as well :D  

I love this Nail Art, because you can´t do anything wrong with it ;) 

If you recreate this design, I would love to see it ! :) 

(Btw: You don´t have to have a blog to show me your recreation....just send me an email with your picture:) If I get a few, I could do a post on them! Sounds like a good idea, right? Let me know what you think!)

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend! :-* 

Reader´s Choice: P2 - Artful

Hello everybody!
This time, the number was chosen by Jamie and it´s 177! Thank you ;) It´s P2 - Artful. I adore this color, but the application kinda sucks. It´s sheer, it´s stringy, even though I used nail polish thinner and it doesn´t dry. I don´t know if it´s just mine, but I don´t like it. Too bad, because the color is awesome! Look ! :)  

I took these pictures, while I was in Greece some weeks ago and I didn´t wanted to take new pictures of it, so here they are!

You can see the VNL and the sheerness at the base of the nail. This is 2 coats, and you would need 3 to 4 coats to make it opaque, but then it takes forever to dry :/
I am not saying P2 polishes are bad in general, but this one is. :(
Tell me, do you own this polish ? If so, do you have the same problems with it ? I would love to know :)  
Thanks for reading and have a good night! :-*

Btw, my next posts are scheduled, cause I won´t have that much time the next few days, but I promised a tutorial for you guys, so I prepared the posts :P Feel free to leave me some comments though, I will reply to them as soon as I can ;)

Nail Art Monday Nr.9 - Halloween !

Hey everybody!
This post was supposed to be scheduled yesterday, but obviously I did something wrong xD So I´ll post this weeks Nail Art Monday, today :P
The theme was, oh well, Halloween of course !! :D
You probably have seen this kinda manicure on every blog out there and even I did it last week, but I wanted to try it again :P

It was inspired by Acetone and Old Lacquer,because I loved her idea to do the "blood" on a neutral colored polish. 

I used: P2 - Perfectly as a base, Sally Hansen - Brick Wall (light red) and Catrice -The Devil wears Red. Yeey, my first Sally Hansen polish..I love it :D More on that tomorrow ;)

BONUS pic! 

Yesterday as I was walking home, I saw these 2 cute little cats cuddling each other :)  How sweet are they? 

Hope you all had a great Halloween ;) See ya tomorrow ;)  

Aaah! I almost forgot! Tuesday´s Vote! Choose a number between 1 and 232! 

Thank you for that! ;)
