Diamond Nail Glitter and Picker wax pen from Born Pretty Store

Hello my friends, after some connection problems and spending almost an hour on the telephone trying to resolve it , I finally did =) Exciting morning for me lol
Now that my internet is all set up I can write a review on Diamond nail glitter and Wax pen that I got from BPS few days ago!

 

I got the Diamond Nail Glitter Glequins Dust Powder Sheet Nail Art Decoration (the official name) in 2 colors - silver and gold.

Both of the colors have a holographic glow witch makes them so pretty and easily combined with all sorts of colors! The silver ones looks like a disco ball to me lol

They come in a little round plastic box but the amount of the glitters is so big that I think it will last me for ages!

  

 

Obviously, they have to be placed onto the nail one by one, in this case the Wax pen come in really handy. I also got mine from BPS, you actually get 2 of them in a pack!

When you apply this glitters you have to make sure your polish is still wet so they can stick to it or you can use a nail glue if you have one! If the polish is not wet enough, the ends of the glitters will not stick properly and  you'll get sharp and protruding ends, and then the glitters will fall of easily! Of course, after you place the glitters you'll have to apply some top coat to keep them in place! 

These Wax pens are so good for picking glitters or studs, and makes the placing part so easy and precise! As you can see I've only sharpen one of them and this is the size I can go without the tip falling off :/ A little downside of my pen.. I don't know if the other one will act like this too but we'll see. 

The tip is still big enough to pick and hold even the biggest studs I have... The only thing that I'm a bit worried is that if it continues to fall of , the pen wont last a long time :/

Here are the direct links to the Diamond Glitters and Wax Pen if you want to check them out yourself.

Let me show you what I did with them...

IN THE CABLE CAR-POOL LANE and I KNEAD SOUR-DOUGH by O.P.I

Hi guys, how was your weekend? Mine was good, noting special lol

Today I'm gonna show you other 2 polishes from O.P.I's San Francisco collection that I've mention it the last post .

These 2 are true fall colors, and I swatched them for you =)

 IN THE CABLE CAR-POOL LANE is a dark berry sort of a burgundy cream polish. Fully opaque in 2 coats, great creamy formula makes application so easy. The finish is so shiny that you wont need a top coat (unless you want to prolong the wearing).
This one got his name by the world famous San Francisco's cable cars =)
If you don't already own something similar, then I would highly recommend this one because it's perfect fall/winter color that I think would look good on any skin tone!

 I've used 2 coats for the photos bellow!

when the light hits it, turns into this gorgeous berry color

this is how it look in most lightnings

  I KNEAD SOUR-DOUGH is a warm brown polish with a cooper, reddish shimmer! The application is so smooth, fully opaque in 2 coats! Got his name by the sourdough bread that San Francisco is famous by =)
When I first swatched it , it reminded me of a milk chocolate mmmm (chocolate addict here lol)
In my opinion, another gorgeous fall color!

 

 

 

Inspiration for the name :) ps picture source : google

 

And these are my San Francisco fall shades that I love so much and will be wearing a lot this fall!

Hope you've enjoyed todays post and you've liked the swatches =)

MUIR MUIR ON THE WALL by O.P.I

Hello my dear friends, greetings from the rainy and cold Croatia :/
Although it's not yet fall, I feel like it is because of the weather here! So I'm starting to reach out for my fall polish shades.
The one that I bought like a month ago, and I waited the fall to swatch, is the one I'll be sharing with you today. It was actually on sale - 70% off so I just had to take it.

Obviously I'm talking about MUIR MUIR ON THE WALL by O.P.I, although this shade is from their old San Francisco collection (2013.) I don't see why shouldn't I show it to you now.
A lot of the times I cant really afford to buy (or I can't find) the O.P.I polishes when they just come out, especially not the whole collections , but this kind of sales really makes them affordable for me and I assume for some of you too.


This polish is so beautiful. It has like a duocrome effect and it goes from dark brown with a bronze and burgundy shimmer to a more like a vampy, darkened plum with an intense plum shimmer, and it has a bit of green to it lol. It's really hard to describe the color, and it does switch depending on the lightning.
Formula is good. First coat is uneven and quite sheer but the second coat evens everything out =)
I tried to capture all the shades on the camera so there's quite a few photos ;)

 

 

 

 

 I also did a little collage just so you can see some of the transitions of the polish  =)

Overall, I really like this color, it's so special. It's my favorite from the San Francisco collection =) I have 2 more polishes from that collection that I'll be showing you in the near future so stay tuned =)

I also did a little accent nail using the water decals from alterNailtive. 

Don't forget that I'm also on Instagram, Bloglovin, Twitter and Facebook

Neons by Parrot Polish

Hello my friends I'm so happy to present you my favorite neon polishes.

Not so long ago I came across to a quite new Indie Polish brand - Parrot  Polish and fell in love with their neons. 

I've been in search for true neons all spring and summer  and only one that I could find in a range of cca 100 km from my house was the O.P.I neons that wasn't really neons :/ Finding them online was difficult to. It seems that it's hard to do true neon polish...

But not for the brand I'll introduce you to now =) 

Parrot Polish was founded earlier this year by a family of polish enthusiastic the Abshire's. It's a 5 FREE brand carefully developed,  packed and handmade by the owners.. although they're quite young in this polish world they did an amazing job with their range of polishes and quality.  I invite you all to come and check out their site so you can see for yourself all the amazing colors and unique polishes... LINK!

I have 3 polishes from their summer 2014 neon collection to show you today ...

First one is called Hot Lips and it's a hot,  vibrant, neon pink!

I couldn't capture all his glory on camera :/ it's more neon in person. This one is the most opaque from the 3, I've used only one coat over white. 

 

Second one is an absolute mind blower that has easily become my all time favorite polish.
It's called Mr Yuk and it's an amazing neon green.
I've used 2 coats over white base to get this amazing effect. 

The color is truly gorgeous and I've never seen anything like that before.. so vibrant

 

 

Last but not the least is Blaze ,neon orange. It was really hard to capture this one to.. it's more vibrant in person. I've used 2 coats over white in the photos bellow..

 

  

All the polishes got jellylike formula and the application is really easy and smooth. They do have to be layered over white base for the neon effect!

Overall I really like all of these but my absolute favorite is Mr Yuk ..its just so stunning!

Polishes retail for 11$ and they offer free USA shipping at this point , so take advantage of that if you can !

You can also find Parrot Polish on Facebook and Instagram =)

happy polishing, till the next time xoxo 

O.P.I Coca-Cola collection - my 2 favorite shades + nail art

Hi guys how are you? To be honest I don't feel really good, my throat hurts :( some kind of cold.. hope it'll go away soon.

I decided to show you the polishes I've picked up from O.P.I's Coca-Cola collection, the shades I liked the most.
I bought it on eBay for 7,25$ + 2,50$ shipping each. They're quite expensive and that's why I could get only 2 from the collection.

So they're called Sorry I'm Fizzy Today and My Signature is "DC".

ps all the photos are 2 coats and NO top coat =)

no top coat

 My Signature is "DC" is a perfect silver polish, it almost got that foil look, so pretty. Formula is great. It's fully opaque in 2 coats and I just love it. This one is inspired by Diet Coke!

Sorry I'm Fizzy Today is a peachy pink polish with a perfect texture. So creamy and soft makes application really easy. Opaque in 2 coats and doesn't need a top coat to shine =)

Inspired by Vanilla Coke that I never tried by the way lol

And now the nail art that I did with these 2 :

You could see this one in my Back to school post

 

Overall I'm really happy that I've chose this ones, I would recommend it to everyone bc they're simply great!!

 And that's it =) Hope you find it useful and interesting

till the next time xoxo 

Tiffany's blue box inspired nail art + tutorial

Hello my polish friends =) I was planing to do this post for a days now but I was just lazy to do it on the weekend ..so here it is (finally)

As you can probably tell from the title this is going to be my version of famous Tiffany's blue box design!

This is what Tiffany & co. says about it: "Crowned with a white ribbon, the Tiffany Blue Box is an international symbol of style and sophistication. " 
and I agree!! (although I don't own anything from them :( ) 

 

The inspiration for this design came from my very first and only (so far) China Glaze nail lacquer called For Audrey

For Audrey is a beautiful creamy polish that reaches full opacity in 2 thin coats. Formula is outstanding which makes application so smooth and easy. It's a perfect Tiffany blue color.
If you're in search for the perfect China Glaze polish then definitely consider this one (if you don't already own it).
Here are the swatches ( 2 coats, no top coat)

 

 And now let me show you how I did it..

 1 painted my nails with For Audrey (2 coats)
2 placed the tape
3 painted inside of the tame with Alpine snow by O.P.I (white)
4 made a bow using a small dotting tool and placed little nail ring =)

Easy right?

Hope you've enjoyed todays design and tutorial. Until next time xoxo

Cute tag

Hi guys how are you doing? My dear friend Andreea from Ditta's nail design & art  tag me to do this interesting polish related tag :)

Basically there's 11 questions , polish related, that I'll be answering to! 

So let's get started :)

1. Which color family of nail polish do you own the most of?

This is the question I can't answer without looking at my polish collection and counting. . . And I must say it was very tight , but surprisingly I have the most GREEN polishes (14) :D I taught there will be the most purples, pinks or blues but the greens took the victory by 3 polishes lol

2. Name your most favorite memory you associate with a specific polish?

I'm afraid I don't really have any favorite memory regarding any specific polish. But I do remember exitement when I received my first O.P.I polishes :D 

3. What's your best-kept secret for chip-free polish?

To be honest my polish usually don't have time to chip lol .. I do my nails very often so..
My lets call it a "secret" for chip - free polish would be Seche Vite  top coat , great product..

4. Which brand do you own the most colors and why is that formula your favorite? 

 
I'm so happy to say that , after a year of blogging , finally I own the most O.P.I polishes. Not all of them have perfect formula but none of them has bad one. The color range is amazing and I just love that brand.

Ps I did buy all of them myself ;)

5. Name the polish you like the least in your collection and why you still hold onto it. 

 
I actually have 2 polishes that I'm very disappointed in but I still hold on to them.
They're Fashion Playground by Essie and Green Tea by Sally Hansen complete salon manicure.
They're both kinda minty green colors that have the worst formula ever expecially Essie. I've been searching for the perfect mint color for ages , still haven't found one :/

But yeah these are the polishes I wouldn't recommend you to buy! 

6. Name your holy grail of polish remover? 

 
That's easy : Afrodita acetone free polish remover.. it's simply the best and it contains d-pantenol so it doesn't dry my nails so much. Ps it's not so expensive!

7. If you use glitter or nail effects, which is your favorite brand and why? 

 
My favorite glitter brand is Shimmer Polish. They have great range of any kinds of glitters..
I also love O.P.I's liquid sands, they're my favorite textured polishes.

8. Do you match your toes to your nails when you repolish?

 
No! I never match them, that's to boring for me ; )

9. Name the specific polishes you've repurchased more than twice to show us your holy grail colors. 

 
The only polish I have repurchased is white one.. but I didn't repurchased the same brand. First I had Essie but wasn't satisfied with it so I bought O.P.I Alpine Snow. That one is better but still not perfect!

10.Do you paint accent nails or only use one color?

 
I always do an accent nail even when I do nail art I tend to change one nail to make it more interesting! I rarely use just one color!

11.Can you name the oldest polish in your collection?
This one is very hard to answer. I'm not sure but I think my oldest would be Am I Blue Or Green? by Catrice. I acctually got that one as a gift when I bought some magazine :D

And that's it! I invite you to do this fun tag and to share it with me :*

till the next time xoxo
