Valentine's Day ♥

It's a Valentine's Day today! Hope you're spending a nice time with those you love!

I made this manicure yesterday for this special day. It's not just a Valentine's day for me, every 14th in the month reminds me that I'm one month longer with my BF. Today we're 2 years and 10 months together... Love you honey!

Let's start with my manicure... I couldn't decide what color should I wear.. I didn't want ending with red, so I picked all these color and made pink-a-lilac creme skittles.

Essence - No More Drama

Essie - Lilacism

Orly - Lollipop

China Glaze - Something Sweet

China Glaze - Rich & Famous

I added 2 coat of each and 1 coat of Essie G2G. I didn't have any problems with applications. Here's one picture, but I forgot to include my thumb.

Sorry for the bad picture, it was so grey outside!

Then I started thinking what should I do now.... I searched for inspiration at many blogs and then decided to do this... Mix and match...

I was just holding Pure Ice for taking pictures, I didn't use it for this manicure. It's the only bottle I have at BF's.

Daylight, cloudy day

From L to R:
Essence - No More Drama stamped with Essence - Stamp me! White & Confetti - Vava Voom + BM02
Essie - Lilacism stamped with Essence Stamp me! White + m73
Orly - Lollipop sponged with Wet n Wild - Glitz
China Glaze - Something Sweet stamped with Essence Stamp me! White & Confetti - Vava Voom + BM02
China Glaze - Rich & Famous stamped with Essence Stamp me! White + m79

I tried sponging for the first time and I really like it how it turned out. What do you think? It's not classic red&white manicure, but it's so me. I spent an hour for this and then half hour just for my pinkie. I was perfectly done with both hands and then I ruined my pinkie... I decided to start at the beggining and ruined it again... And again... And again... And finally made it.

I won't be posting this week, because I'm having an exam on Thurdsay and I have to study. I also forgot all my polishes at home.

Happy Valentine's day girls!

Xoxo,

Ivana

Roses

I saw this beautiful roses nail art so many times and I always wanted to try it out. I found a great photo tutorial at BeautyLab and decided to give it a try. It looked easily so why not...

I used these polishes:

Golden Rose [Care + Strong] - 182 for base color

Essence - Once Upon a Time & Stamp me! White for roses

Yes Love - 287 for leaves

I didn't mind that the color of base color wasn't real, because I didn't have time for that, so I just wanted that the roses was perfectly visible... I added roses just on ring finger and thumb, because I find it even more special.

I'll definetely try this more often, it's so cute. I must admit I like it even more on pictures, because when I look at my nails, it annoys me that roses aren't perfectly located. I'm a perfectionist, I know. Did you ever try to make roses? Share a link if you did.

Now I'm thinking what should I wear for Valentines Day... What will you be wearing on Monday?

Wish you a nice and relaxing Sunday, dear readers and followers!

Xoxo,
Ivana

Golden Rose [Care + Strong] - 182

Today I've for you so beautiful and cute polish. Golden Rose Care + Strong with the name - 182 (what a beautiful name).

I added 2 coats and 1 coat of Essie - G2G. How would I describe this color - lilac pink. Sometimes it looks more pink and sometimes more lilac. Color is most accurate on first and second picture I think. It's really hard to capture its real color.

See what was I talking about? Not fotogenic at all but still soooo beautiful.

What do you think about this beauty? Like it or not? Have you any Golden Rose polishes? If so, which one is your favorite?

Have a nice weekend!

Haul

My "little sister" Veri brought me 3 new Golden Rose polishes, thank you honey, love you so much!

Golden Rose

Care + Strong - 182

Nail Art - 112

Nail Art - 113

First one is a perfect lilac pink, I'm wearing it now for 2 days and I just LOVE it (but it's so hard to capture its real color). I wanted silver and gold one from Nail Art collection, because I read that they are perfect for stamping. I didn't googled the numbers so I just said her to bring me silver and gold one. So she thought that they were right but they are glitters so they're not good for stamping - gold and one with a stunning holographic glitter. I'll definetely try to use silver one for a full manicure, I just need to empty one bottle and get a clean brush, because this has tiny brush for nail art. Notice to all slovenian bloggers and readers: Lakizanohte.si starts selling Golden Rose polishes! They're adding them today on their webpage.

112 has holographic shimmer

I recently got this stunning and beautiful holographic goddess.

OPI - DS Signature

Why has OPI discontinued this beauty? And Original, Fantasy, Divine, Glamour???? So bad, because now they're really hard to get and I'm sure a lot of us would love to have them, right? There is never enough of holos, especially if they're stunning like these.

Aaaand another holo, which I got from Elchy and I'm still waiting for this beauty.. But I wanted to include it here too and I'm sure you all know which one is that even without a picture. (Edit -18/2 - I added the picture)

China Glaze - DV8

I'll be showing my new Golden Rose lilac pink soon!

Xoxo,

Ivana

Nfu.Oh - 63

I planned to post this beauty tommorow when I wake up but I just can't sleep so I decided to do this know.

Sunny weather is just perfect for holos, do you agree? This holographic goddess was resting in my stash for two months now and I'm sure she thinks I forget on her. But I didn't. I was really waiting for sunny days and here they are. First I would like to thank Martje again for sending me this beauty. I'm so happy I have it, because SHE is really gorgeous!!!

I add 3 coats, because I don't own their Aqua base yet but I'm planning to buy it quite soon. The application without aqua base coat is quite horrible, it's streaky after 2 or even 3 because nail polish just doesn't want to stay on nails, but I somehow managed to apply it decently.

Let's start with picture spam, shall we?

Shade

I really couldn't pick just 2 pictures like usually, but I really couldn't believe my eyes - amazing! I loooooove it!! I used to have #64 on my WL too, but after seeing lots of swatches there is no big difference between them (this one is pink and 64 is lilac but they really look similar). BUT I just need one more in my collection as soon as possible, so I have to get 64 too. And an aqua base coat - we don't want to use these beauties with horrible application.

What do you think about this stunning polish? I've purchased 2 new holos these days, what do you think which one are that? HINT: Pink & Teal.

Which one is your favorite holographic nail polish? Please let me know, because now I want more holographics in my collection.

Good night,
Ivana
