Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat – 800 Tweedie

5

Here’s a tape manicure done using Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat 800 Tweedie and Color Club Silver Lake with G & G HK Girl top coat. I quite like how this turned out. Tweedie creates a cool effect with tape and the light grey base color. I’m not the biggest fan of bar glitter but I’m loving this one. I have two more shades to try out and now I’m trying to figure out something cool to do with them too :)

Color Club – Silver Lake

3

Hello lovelies! My little sick leave/break is over and I’m gonna try and catch up with all my posts and reviews during the next couple of weeks :) At the end of the month I’ll also have a three part post coming out about how I take care of my hands and cuticles now that the weather is getting colder again. I’ll show you some of my old favorites and also some new to me products.

Today I’ll have two posts for you and I’ll start with a polish from the new Color Club Girl About Town – fall collection. This is a very light and great quality creme, Silver Lake.

Here I have two coats of Silver Lake and G & G HK Girl top coat.

The formula and application on this was pretty much perfect. When I see a color like this I automatically think horrible, streaky application. Well to my big surprise that wasn’t the case here. This was slightly streaky on the first coat but thin second coat made it perfect. So smooth, no bald spots, just perfect! Color is very light grey, very chic and sophisticated looking. Beautiful on it’s own and makes a great base for nail art.

Pieni sairasloma/tauko on taas ohitse ja yritän saada kaikki rästiin jääneet postaukset ja arvostelut kirjoitettua tässä seuraavan parin viikon aikana. Ensi ja seuraavalla viikolla on tulossa myös kolmiosainen juttu siitä miten hoidan käsieni ihoa ja kynsinauhojani näin kylmempien ilmojen taas saapuessa. Mukana vanhoja tuttuja luottotuotteitani sekä myös uusia tuttavuuksia.

Tänään tulossa kaksi postausta ja aloitan Color Club lakalla. Tämä on Silver Lake uudesta Girl About Town syyskokoelmasta. Kuvassa kaksi kerrosta Silver Lakea ja G & G HK Girl top coat.

Tässä lakassa on loistava koostumus ja tämä levittyi erittäin hyvin. Yleensä tämän väriset lakat saavat minut automaattisesti irvistämään koska levittyvyys on useimmiten ihan pyllystä. Tämä levittyi kuitenkin lähes täydellisesti. Hitusen epätasainen ensimmäisellä kerroksella, mutta toinen ohut kerros teki pinnasta täydellisen tasaisen. Parempaa laatua ei näin vaalealta cremeltä voi oikein edes toivoa.

Suomessa Color Club lakat ja myös uudet syyskokoelmat löydät Cesars Shopista. Kaupan Facebook-sivuja seuraamalla saat myös helposti tiedon uutuuksista ja tarjouksista!

***Silver Lake saatu ilmaiseksi, muut käytetyt tuotteet olen ostanut itse. En hyödy mitenkään linkkien klikkauksista.

Lynnderella – Mr. Pink

0

Greetings from the house of coughing and snotty noses. My kids have been sick for a few days now and there doesn’t seem to be an end to this right now. Hubby is also getting sick and I myself will probably catch this sooner or later.

Anyways I’m getting this post up for you even if it’s the last thing I do LOL this is Lynnderella Mr. Pink from the  “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection. Here’s how it’s described on the Lynnderella website “Mr. Pink contains assorted pinks of all sizes, shapes, finishes and attitudes. Multiglitter accents in a warm pink shimmered clear base”.

This is two coats of A England Rose Bower, one generous coat of  Mr. Pink and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Application was once again perfect and very smooth. I love how this polish has a few colorful glitter pieces here and there. Not too many but just enough to make it look alive and have a little color pop details.

Lynnderella polishes are available to European customers at Norway Nails. You can use the code “POLISHAHOLIC” to get -10% off of any purchase. Norway Nails offers a wide range of gorgeous indies and other polish brands. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Mish Mash Challenge Week 7: Least expensive polish – Golden Rose Matte Velvet #105

13

Happy hump day! For once I’m getting my post up on Wednesday :D This week we are using our least expensive polish/polishes. I chose Golden Rose Matte Velvet #105. This one was also in my untrieds so it was an easy choice. I found this from a discount bin at a local store and it cost me 1 euro. I believe I have never bought a polish cheaper than one euro :)

This is two coats of Matte Velvet 105 alone, no undies, no top coat.

 

 

Application was great and two coats is enough for an opaque result. This dries to a semi matte, shimmery finish. Very beautiful color :)  I have no complaints.

Now I’m off to check out what kind of awesome findings the other ladies have to show for this cheap polish week :D

Try It On Tuesday: A England – Rose Bower

4

Today I have a real treat for you my dear readers and for myself too. I bought this polish a while ago and I can’t believe I still hadn’t tried it on! This is A England Rose Bower from the Burne-Jones Dream collection. This is a stunning berry red polish with a subtle scattered holo effect. Such an amazing red! Takes my breath away! If you don’t own this yet, GET IT, NOW! :D

This is two coats of Rose Bower with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula and application was just perfection. I just can’t get over how beautiful this polish is!

Mish Mash Challenge – Week 6: Hot

7

Wow! Is anyone surprised cos I’m so late with this, again *sigh*

I’m just gonna do this one nice and quick. This is one coat of Essie Licorice, one coat of OPI Baby It’s “Coal” Outside and the flames are done with OPI Liquid Sand Jinx. This manicure looked a lot better in my head than it actually did when it was ready LOL But since I already messed up my music theme mani and decided to skip the whole week I’ll just go ahead and show you this one.

 

 

Crappy photo of a crappy manicure, sowwy :P

That’s all for this one and maybe this week I can actually get my post up on time since I have already taken photos of the mani. Check back on Wed to see if a miracle happens ;D

Lynnderella – Tidy Whities

0

Today I have a polish from the new Lynnderella “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection.

This is Tidy Whities and here’s Lynnderella’s description this polish “a mixture of opaque and translucent whites with assorted tiny pastel and iridescent glitters. Multishimmer in a clear base”.

This is two coats of IsaDora Purple Reign, two coats of  Tidy Whities and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application was easy and smooth, no need for Glitter Food. This is one of those glitter toppers that can be layered over any color. White base looks icy and dark base brings out all the beauty in this polish.

IsaDora Wonder Nail – Purple Reign

2

Today I have a gorgeous shade from the new IsaDora Color Chock Fall 2013 collection. This is 772 Purple Reign. It’s your basic plum-ish purple creme that goes great for the fall months. I think everyone should have a shade like this on their stash. I have more than one myself ;) This is a dark, vampy shade but still clearly purple, not black.

Formula was excellent and the application was very smooth. The Wide Brush this polish has made the application very easy. This might even be a one coater for shorter nails. I don’t have much experience with IsaDora polishes but the quality of this polish impressed me a lot so I think you’ll be seeing more from IsaDora on this blog in the future.

For this mani I used two coats of Purple Reign with G & G HK Girl top coat.

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild Megalast – Sugar Coat

1

For this TIOT I have chosen yet another Wet n Wild polish. I seem to have a bad habit of buying cheap nail polish and just putting it in to the drawers without trying it out.

This is four coats of Sugar Coat with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Formula was thin and sheer and the application was quite streaky. I actually managed to get it to look good on three coats but then I went to the stables and messed up the mani a bit. I added a fourth coat and another coat of HK Girl before I took the photo. I love this subtle very pale pink color. Looked great with my new nails! I don’t know if it’s even possible to find a color like this that’s not streaky and is perfect on two coats so I didn’t let the application bother me too much.

My new nails

9

I meant to file my nails shorter and into almond shape. Then this happened…

 

 

For this manicure I used two coats of OPI A Roll In The Hague, OPI Rainbow Connection dabbed on the  the orange base and G & G HK Girl top coat.

I’ve had my nails looking like this before and I love the shape. I used to have them a lot longer too. Soon I’ll probably go for the smoother almond shape and then back to square-ish and long. I really like having my nails long, I just got tired of them looking the same way for so long. I needed a change :) I just don’t know what to call this shape LOL I know most people call these stilettos but in my opinion stilettos are longer and a bit different shape. I guess these are something between gothic almond and stilettos :P

In case there are new readers wondering about my nails, I use Cesars Secrets Builder Gel on my nails to make them stronger. I have a thin uv-gel layover on my own nails and I fix them about every two weeks to prevent having a too visible growth line. If/when I break a nail I usually use a plastic tip to maintain the length while my own nail grows back.

What do you think? Hell yes or a big NO NO? :D
