Subtle Baby Pink

Subtle manicure for summer? Why not?! :i

I wanted something girly but soft, so I finally tried Baby Pink from Barry M, which I got from Kvacka months ago. :h I had to add 3 coats to even up the color. Then I decided to use the pattern I used almost every time I did my nails when I started this blog, and it's still one of my favorite. :L

What do you think? Do you prefer pastels, bright or dark colors for summer? I love wearing brights, but from time to time I also love wearing pastels. <3

Look what I got! Happy December ♥

I can't believe it's December now. :party There's so much going on in whole December I just wish we had a summer now. :P

I have something soooooooo awesome to share with you. :P I got a lovely e-mail from Kvacka from Rainbows and Blues and she just made my month. <3 

I told you a million times that I'd love to have that pretty in my hands for ages and she just made my dreams come true. :) You don't know what I'm talking about? Well, here are the pics to show you what I got from her the other day. :e

China Glaze - Tickle my Triangle, Barry M - Baby Pink

Yap, Tickle my Triangle is finally all mine. <3 She even included one Barry M and two image plates, because I have them on my WL. :e What a great package, right? Feels like Christmas. :P

I caaaan't wait to try TMT, I'm just waiting for the perfect day and my nails to grow out a lot. I just can't grow them long at the moment. :/ Annoying, especially when I look back to pictures with long nails. :c 

Thank you so much Kvacka! :h You brought another level of rainbow nails in my life. :) Yap, I'm sooooooooooo happy! :) I started with TMT and I'm not giving up from getting the other ones one day. :$

Strawberry Ice Cream & Teenage Dream

Fall is here. :) Do I like it? Not. :ice It's already too cold for me, I wish I could have summer all year long. Or at least just Spring and Summer. :party Or I should just move to Brazil. :P

Anyway, I have a new mani for today. I wanted to try out some of the new babies I got lately, so I picked these 2. Strawberry Ice Cream by Barry M is a nice pastel pink with peachy undertones creme nail polish. I added 3 thin coats, but even 2 thicker would work just great. I decided to add sponging tips with OPI - Teenage Dream. Teenage Dream is amazing - sheer pink jelly base with different sizes of glitter including some stunning holographic glitter. <3 It's much prettier in RL as on pictures, believe me. :)

Here's the final result. :)

This beauty became more peachy pink on sun. :)

I'm in love with this combination. <3 When my mom saw Teenage Dream, she wanted to have it on her nails too, so her nails are also sparkly today, but she didn't let me take some pics. xD

Do you like this combination? Sponging french tips was so easy and it looks so nice. :) What's your favorite glitter polish?

I'm a big fan of Milka chocolate with whole nuts but I adore white chocolate even more. I never found white chocolate with whole nuts in Slovenia although I saw pictures of it, just that one without anything. So my dad's just brought me this big one from Graz, imagine how happy I was. <3

This chocolate is THE BEST. ^_^ Tell me, what's your favorite chocolate?

Have a nice and relaxing weekend! :rainbow

Replay with Pink Fizz Instant Nail Effect

Instant Nail Effect aka Crackle time. :D So many different names of same pattern, kind of confusing. :) My inspirations was those vintage roses, which I wanted to create but I wasn't in the mood for nail art. I wanted to try Studio M polish which mostly of you have suggested but the weather wasn't beautiful so I spare it for another sunny day. :)

Pink Fizz Instant Nail Effect from Barry M is another pink crackle, dries matte, its crackles can be really bigger if you apply really thick coat like I did on my right hand but it's not fotogenic as my left hand. :D I'll definitely show you that once, because I think it's the prettiest crackle I've at the moment.

I won't talk much... Here're the pictures...

Daylight

I'm loving it so much so I decided to make a close up. :D As you can see it's matte, over a shiny polish looks kind of plastic finish too and like I draw it. :D

Pictures with TC after a click. :)

Swap with Misha from Enigmatic Rambles

New swap goodies for today. :L Misha from Enigmatic Rambles contacted me few months ago because she wanted to try out some goodies from Essence. Till then I actually didn't even know that Essence isn't sold in UK.. Weird Essence. :D So it took me some time to get everything for her but last week I finally made it. I woke up today and found an parcel in kitchen and I's soooo happy to open it. :$

These are the goodies I got from her. :L Can you tell that I've a pink problem? :D

I wanted a Tangle Teezer for ages. I read so many great reviews and because my hair is so long and I still didn't get a haircut it's so hard to brush my hair without pain. So I's so happy to get it. :e

Tangle Teezer Compact Styler

I wanted a compact version, because I can easily take it with me anywhere without destroying the teeth. I'll probably invest in original once but for now I'm happy to have it and it's in pink. :D My first immpresion is really great but I won't talk much now, I'll be using it from today on and probably write a review post later.

I also got a nail whitener from Orly but I can't find it right now. xo My room is a mess like always and I'm sure I'll find it right after I publish this post. :D I hope it'll help me a little, because I still didn't grow up the yellow stains. :(

Misha thank you so much, now I can cross down from WL all Barry M polishes and a Tangle Teezer, yay. :) I hope you'll like the goodies I sent you.:h

Here's a bonus photo I took today. This cute little birdie's posing for me today. Fist I thought something was wrong with him, but after some time he flew away. It's great to be so close to him. :) I'm sure he thinks I'm crazy because I's talking with him all the time. :D

Xoxo,

Barry M - Bright Purple + Konad

Hi my ladies,

how are you? Here it's so hot, very sunny day, I love it...

Yesterday I showed you Barry M - Bright Purple. I added konad today. For stamping I use Essence TE Eclipse - Hide Bella, Hide and image plate M64. Hide Bella, Hide is a frosty silver polish and it's really good for konad.

Here it is:

Shadow

Pictures are bad, I'm sorry - I don't know what is happening with my phone, it doesn't take good pictures at all!

I like the combo, do you like it too? Do you have all polishes from TE Eclipse? Do you already watched movie Eclipse? I can't wait to see it.

Have a nice sunday!

Love,
Ivana

Barry M - Bright Purple

This post will be exceptional mostly in the Slovenian language.

Ta teden me je v nabiralniku pričakal lak Barry M, ki mi ga je poslala prijazna Maja iz spletne trgovine Ličila.si. Izbrala je odtenek Bright purple - kot da bi vedela, da padam na take odtenke.

Bright purple je moj prvi Barry M lak, ki me je zelo navdušil. Čopič ni prevelik, niti premajhen, omogoča enostaven nanos laka. V steklenički je 10 ml laka, cena pa znaša 4,45€ - lak je vreden vsakega centa.

Na spodnjih dveh slikah sta na kazalcu in prstancu 2 sloja, na sredincu in mezinčku pa 1. Že z enim nanosom je lak prekriven, vendar je barva svetlejša, z dodatnim nanosom pa barva dobi globino - tako imamo 2 laka v enem.

Sonce/Sun

Senca/Shade

Na tej sliki sem na vse nohte nanesla 2 sloja laka:

Sonce/Sun

Laka ne morem prehvaliti - všeč mi je, ker se zelo hitro suši, sveti se brez dodanega nadlaka, nobenih mehurčkov ni opaziti... Skratka - super je!

V moji mali zbirki lakov sem iskala lak, ki bi mu bil podoben. Našla sem le Essence - Dress to party, dodala pa še za vzorec Essence - Mr. Big.

Senca/Shade

Sonce/Sun

Nista si podobna! Bright purple je kremni, medtem ko Dress to party vsebuje bleščice. Essence se tudi dlje časa suši - za katerega bi se vi odločili? Imate raje kremne ali šimraste lake?

Če ste si ga zaželele, hitro v nakup na spletno trgovino Ličila.si, kjer najdete še veliko prelepih odtenkov in ostale Barry M kozmetike. Tudi sama si bom upam, da v kratkem privoščila še kakšen lak.

Hvala Maji in spletni trgovini Ličila.si za poslan lak! Moja WL se je že povečala, pa vaša?

For my international readers: Maja from Slovenian online store Licila.si sent me Barry M polish. I got Bright purple - as you can see is a creme purple polish, application is great, I totally love this color and I hope I'll get more Barry M polishes soon! I also add a comparison, there is no dupe, Dress to party has blue shimmer and it dries longer than Barry M. Number on pictures are the number of coats I use.

Do you own any Barry M polishes?

Have fun!

Xoxo,

Ivana
