Sweet As Candy And Dots

Happy Monday! This looks is so pretty and pink and cute! I forget sometimes how pretty baby pink can be. I'm wearing two coats of Essence's colour&go, shade 104 'Sweet As Candy'. Two coats look so pretty - but one coat also looks amazing, it looks so nude and barely there. I'd wear one coat for pure elegance. I know I'm getting so boring with the constant dotting, I just love how it looks, but seriously, I need to start trying out some new stuff.

Do you wear baby pinks during the summer? Or do you go for more crazy colors? Until the next post, xoxo

Sparkle Over Sponge

This was supposed to be a gradient, but what the hell happened? I know now what my mistake was, but I didn't want to let this look go to waste, so I threw some sparkle over it (because that's what you do, apparently, ha ha). Anyway, the black shade is Maybelline's 23 Dark Chocolate (no wonder this horrible watery polish is discontinued), the grey is Catrice 610 ASHley, and on the tips She's 121/115. The sparkle is Smart Girls Get More no. 138 (I think this was LE somewhere around Christmas). The red sparkle on the thumb is another old Maybelline, 54 Cherry Sweet (slowest drying polish EVER). So that's that, next gradient I know what to do (hopefully) so I don't need to 'fix' it afterwards.

I didn't really enjoy this look, even though the Smart Girls sparkle-polish is stunning. What do you think?

Red Ombre With White Dots

If you want to see this look without the dots, follow this LINK. Picture of all the polishes used is at the end of the post (except for the thumb, which has been my cat's toy, apparently LOL). Anyway, I think my blue dotted ombre is still my favorite. I think the problem with this look is that I didn't use the super-white polish for dots, but a very peachy-white shade. Nevertheless it's always fun to wear a dotted ombre look. 

Are you all enjoying the summer? Until next time, xoxo

Red Ombre

Because my blue ombre look turned out to be popular, I decided to re-create it using different colors (dotted version coming in the next post). My thumb has a cat scratch on it, so it's out of the pictures (sorry). From left to right, polishes used are: Catrice 360 Raspberry Fields Forever, Maybelline 150 Fruit Juice, Catrice 070 Caught On The Red Carpet, Maybelline 33 Berry Jam. All the polishes are from the old collections - I'm so behind on using my polishes, I have so many that I haven't tried yet, so I'm trying to use up my older stuff (wish me luck). I hope everyone can follow me fine on Bloglovin, but for the time being my Google Reader is working just fine(?!). Anyway, see you in the next post.

Why Does This Remind Me Of A Turtle ?

Ok, can anyone explain to me why this look reminds me of a turtle? I dont think it has anything to do with turtles...right? Anyway, here I'm wearing 2 coats of Eveline's Mini Max no.808 (a beautiful minty shade, but I'm not liking it very much, it has a very thick texture), and the blue dots are by Deborah, no.30 'Electric Bluejeans' (old collection).

Until next time, have a great day ;)

Almost Lizards

This look would have been awesome - if only the lizards transferred good. Oh well, you cant have it all. What I tried to do is have a different color lizard on every finger - but some polishes didn't work well for stamping, so the lizards were horribly maimed, poor little guys. :( I'd say the ring finger is the only decent looking one. Image of polishes used in the bottom of the post. The black stars I bough from Essence, though I havent seen them on the racks recently. I did not use nail glue to attach the stars, just clear polish and they held on for 3 days. Though, I would recommend nail glue if you want more durability.

Yellow Is Not My Color

This yellow would look great on someone else's skin tone, but not me. I am wearing 3 layers of Catrice's 'Don't Feed The Birds'. This polish is long gone, I actually got it as a gift with another purchase. I would never have bought it myself because, even though it looks amazing in the bottle, it doesn't work well for me. Wouldn't you agree? Makes my hands look tired and dull. But it is a beautiful shade with the most amazing sparkle. I wore this look 2 weeks ago, so tomorrow I'll post an upgrade of this look, a failed attempt at stamping. Wait till you see it haha!

Hope you're all looking forward to the weekend. xoxo Jelena
