Avon True Color Perfectly Matte lipsticks

12

Avon just launched their True Color Perfectly Matte lipsticks here in Finland. They are selling 15 gorgeous shades and I bought sample sizes of all of them cos I wanted to test how they are and see what the colors are really like. I must say, I love these! They are creamy yet still they are matte. They apply like a dream and don’t dry my lips. Staying power is very good considering the creamy texture. I just love them!

White and red polka dots

So we are back to square nails. I’ll miss the claws but I just have no time to maintain them right now so I’m taking the easy way out. I actually made these longer at first and then, probably for the first time in my life I thought “hmm, I want my nails to be shorter” :D so I filed some more length off and here we are.

Starting the new year with vampy claws

6

End of the year was so busy for me that I didn’t get to even do my nails. I was running around with nekkid nails most of the December. I also fixed the gel layover on my left hand nails twice and never had time to do the right hand. Pathetic! Right before New Year’s Eve I decided that enough is enough and I refuse to welcome the new year with horrible nails. So I finally managed to reshape my nails and fill in the UV-gel layover. I painted them just couple of hours before midnight. So obviously I stayed at home and took it easy New Year’s Eve :P

Glisten & Glow – Cocktails Anyone? Round 2

0

I previously showed you the collection part 1 (you can find it here) and today it’s time for equally awesome Round 2. These colors are little darker and more fall winter appropriate. I absolutely love these shades! I mean I have dreamed of a delicious brown polish with a super strong linear holo effect. So good, SO GOOD my friends!

Essence the gel nail polish – 23 Wonderfuel

2

I recently visited the Essence stand in a local store and bought five polishes. Here’s a first of those five, 23 Wonderfuel from their the gel nail polish line. This polish isn’t an actual gel polish that requires UV-light to dry. It dries like a normal polish but it’s said to be long lasting. Since I have the UV-gel layover on my nails I can’t really say much about how long this lasts cos the gel layover pretty much makes every polish long lasting.

The lovely KIKO 255

2

Fall is probably my favorite time of the year when it comes to nail polish and makeup. Deep, dark, dramatic colors, purples, burnt orange, reds, browns … love them!

So getting KIKO 255 Violet Microglitter on my nails made me very happy. This is such a beautiful dark purple packed with holographic micro-glitter. So, so pretty and perfect for fall when you still have bright, sunny days to make that sparkling glitter pop! These photos are taken with daylight bulbs so the holo effect doesn’t show in all it’s glory, but trust me, it’s there.

 

 

Application was a little uneven on the first coat and I applied three thin coats for perfect result. This dries a little rough and dull so top coat is a must. This dried pretty fast and removal wasn’t that bad at all even with all the micro-glitter in it. Since I have the uv-gel layover on my nails again I didn’t use any base coat. Shine is provided by HK Girl, my favorite fast drying top coat.

 

***KIKO 255 was purchased by me.
