NOTD: CATRICE 'MILLION STYLES EFFECT TOP COAT' OVER BUTTER LONDON 'BRANWEN'S FEATHERr'

Hellooo,

It feels like it's been some time since I did a NOTD. And also reviewing you a Catrice polish. So I decided not to wait anymore and presenting you this fascinating polish called
'Million Styles effect top coat CO4  SHAKE IT! FLAKE IT!' by Catrice.

You've probably seen this effect already with other nailpolish brands.
There are a lot of dupes for this one.

It says: Get unlimited styling options with only one effect top coat! Gives every nail lacquer or bare nail an extraordinary finish.

 

I'd suggest you a dark polish as base. Unfortunately you can't recognize Butter London 'Branwen's Feather' but I'll do another review on that polish ;)


Here you can see all the color reflections ^^ Now isn't this cool or what?


And here are two polishes responsible for this look:
  • As base I used Butter London's Branwen's Feather
  • And then the CO4 Shake it! Flake it! over it.

Can't wait trying this effect on other colors ;)

Sincerely,

Some nail-polish-freak!

NOTD - Essie 'To Buy Or Not To Buy'

Well fashion peeps,


Today's Nail Of The Day : Essie 'To Buy Or Not To Buy'

from the Essie Spring Collection 'Navigate Her'

I didn't have to ask myself that question more than once. It just poked my eyes right away!

It's just the perfect Spring color for ME. In my favorite color: purple!!!

You probably already know that pastel colors are IN this Spring. If not, now you do ;P


It's a lavender with shimmer! I used 2 coats of it and you really need at least 2, if not 3 to get a good coverage.


WHAT I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS COLOR?

Well just take a closer look at it :)

Can you see the blue and the red sparkles in it? :D Amazing I know.

 (Please just look at the color not at my skin! -.-" I'm trying to limit the damage)


And the answer to the question 'to buy or not to buy' should be YES ^^

NOTD - Kiss the lips!

Heeey Heeey,

I'm just leaving you a short post today, I've been so busy the last days but I promise more posts in the next days as I also collected some new goodies and pictures have also been made ;)



So this is what my nails lookded like the last few days!

I used 2 coats of essence's #05 Frosted Champaign as base and for the lips I used H&M's Red nail polish (they don't really look red, more pink thought), and the plate I used is Konad H25. It's been some time that I did some stamping but it's always fun!!!

Read more in the next days ;-)

Love,

Irsada

P.s: OMG Over 10.000 views!!!! I never would have thought that :'''') Thanks YOU so much <3

Barry M.s Croco Effect Shatter!!!

Hey my fashionistas,

Take a look at this amazing piece of art!

Barry M.'s Nail Paint Croco Effect Nail Polsih!!!!

 

I already showed you a little sneak peek last week when I had it only over my ringfinger (Here) and so here is the whole review!

 

First step:
 
You need a base color!
I went with Sleek's Nailed polish Millionaire #39, because I thought it's just the perfect color to get real croco nails, and because of the shining of the color that you can still see even with the croco effect polish over it ;)
 But you can of course chose whatever color and brand you want, I just suggest you a yellow, gold, orange or green base color!

 

I just love this color ^^ but I could just apply one coat of it, because the croco polish doesn't work very well on more coats but I'll show you the whole beautiness of this color in another review. Promised!



So back to the instructions:


Step 1: I used Sleek's Millionaire #39 as chosen nail varnish.
Step 2: It's really really really important that you apply the croco effect polish over TOUCH DRY polished nails!!!!!! It's not working over dried polish, they'll just be black. So as said above wait 1-2 minutes then apply the croco polish ;)
Step 3: Apply a THIN coat of Croc Nail Effect!
Step 4: I'd say the effect will start after 5 minutes not 3 minutes like on the bottle. But time doesn't matter. It's such an interesting process to observe that it's worth waiting every single minute.

MORE PICS

Artifical light - I don't know why there are some little
scratches on two of my nails, it must be my I-Phone -.-"

Daylight - Naturel light:




I espcially love the effect on my thumb, it's practically like the bottle cap but the other designs are amazing too. You actually never know how it will turn out.
It's a surprise nail polish LOL

With flash:

 
 Sorry for my skin! I know I should stop abusing it xD

DON'T FORGET TO USE A TOPCOAT OVER IT ;)

Soooo this is a really great, amazing, fascinating and making other people jealous polish ;P

Pros: It's available for only 5 € (I ordered mine on kosmetik4less.de)
Cons: If the result is not turning well you have to start from the beginning.

So what do you think of it?



 XoXo

IRSADA

BTW I you can order the Sleek polish also on the same side, for 3,99 €!

NOTD - OPI Warm and Fozzie

Welcome,

As you have probably seen I got the OPI Mini Muppets Collection 2 weeks ago. (Whole review is coming soon ;)) I absolutely fell in love with this bottle that I just had to buy the bigger bottle of it :D

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to OPI - Warm and Fozzie:

 

I have to add that I'm actually not a big fan of brown nail polish colors as I always felt they don't fit good with my skin ton but when I tried this nail polish I was so surprised and it wasn't love on the first sight BUT love on the first varnish ^^

This color is for me unique! It feels like you wear falling leaves from a tree in Fall, on your nails, in other words you practically wear the Fall itself on your nails! Or to describe it even more differently it's just like a painting, on your nails. I wore this color over a week on my nails, which is an award for this polish cuz normally I get really fast enjoyed wearing one color so long but not with this one :D


I needed two coats to cover my nails perfectly! It has red and yellow shimmer on a very beautiful brown/bronze color as base.

Here is it with some flash light!


I really hope you could see what I can see in this color :) My camera isn't the best one to catch the perfectness of this polish.

This polish is one of my new favorites and if you are still looking for a polish in Winter, I can only suggest you this one cuz I think it's also good for Winter as for Fall. It's definitely a must-have nail polish. Go get em!!!!!!!!! ;)

Next week a more specific review about the Muppet Collection coming… but as you probably heard from my excitement about this color, you can sure already guess that this is my favorite of the Muppet Collection.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OPI NAIL POLISH? O.o

GOODBYE,

Magnetic nail polishes review - Get the magical effect ;)

My dear reader,

Let me show you the new nail trend: Magnetic polishes!
I tried three different colors for you and here are the results:


flash light:
 

Here you can probably see the result better, in contrast with a darker background and artificial light :)


I must be honest that I wasn't satisfied with the pink magnetic result, you couldn't see it very well so I applied it also on my little left finger, which really turned out better (find out why, more below) and I'm not a very big fan of the golden magnetic polish, I just think that color isn't very beautiful, something bothers me about it.

Here is how it works!!!

Well, first you need some magnetic nail polishe(s)! I decided to go with 3 out of 4 colors (that were at the store) by essence:

(L to R) 03 magic wand!, 02 hex hex! and 05 pixie dust!
 

And of course you also need a nail art magnet, I choosed the one by essence, because the price was very nice.
 

It's really just that simple as you can see here below!!!

You just have to put on the nail polish and imediately hold the magnet 20 seconds over the finger, as close as you can without touching the polish! If you don't do it right after you put on the polish on your finger, the result will not be good, cuz these magnetic nail polishes dry VERY FAST!

#03 Magic wand! (pink) - with and without flash (L to R)

 #05 Pixie dust! (gold) - with and without flash (L to R)

#02 Hex hex! (silver-grey) - with and without flash (L to R)
 

And don't forget to apply also a top coat to make the result appear even better. I suggest you to use a shiny top coat ;)
I hoped you liked this review - GOOOOOO and TRY THEM OUT!!!! Have fun! ^^

And I also wish you a nice weekend

Kisses,

Irsada
