Ruffian Manicure with TC & Time for a break

I added a coat of TC on my Ruffian manicure, which I loooooooove. :L It started chipping next day that's why I put a TC to keep it on my nails for few days more. :) And of course We'll Always Have Paris Suede became alive with a coat of TC. :i

Ruffian Manicure with 2030 & We'll Always Have Paris Suede

I'm a big fan of Ruffian manicure, it looks so elegant and classy.  :) I wanted a gold metallic polish for ages and thanks to Carolina I got it. :i Ruffian mani was officialy combined with black but since I had really bad experience with a Black Out from Black&White collection with plastic finish I decided to pick something different. :i

I don't have a shimmery matte black polish so I picked one of my favorite OPI - We'll Always Have Paris Suede and for base color China Glaze - 2030.

2030 is metallic gold polish, one coater with easy application and with a frosty finish like it's usual for metallic polish. After applying 1 coat of 2030 I added one layer of TC - if you mess up you can use a brush and nail polish remover and remove the mistakes without touching lowest layer of polish. 

Then I added 2 coats of We'll Always Have Paris Suede. It's not difficult to create Ruffian but with this polish you must work extra fast because it's drying so quick. 

I'll probably add 1 coat of TC later but for now I'm enjoying suede finish and beautiful color combination.

I even managed to capture some picture on sun, because we've such a bad weather these days. :(

I must say I'm in love! :L

Houston We Have a Purple with Prancer

Instead of doing my term paper I'm posting this. :i I showed you matte version yesterday because I loved it so much and definetely more as this glossy version.

I got Prancer from Carolina a while ago but I never used it till then. It's a red hexagonal and small glitter in a clear base.

I added one coat over OPI Houston We Have a Purple, for more glittery look I should add one coat more. It gives a totally another dimension to Houston. :)

Term paper is waiting for meee.... xo

Houston We Have a Purple with Prancer Mattified

Hiya! :) 

I'm still wearing and enjoying my Funky French Skittles so I'll have to show you something else. I showed you Houston We Have a Purple few days ago but I decided to upgrade it somehow. :i I's seeing mattified glitter all around so I wanted to try it out and that's why I'm posting matte first although I wanted to show you shiny version first. :D

I added 1 coat of Wet'n'Wild Prancer (red hexagonal and small glitter in a clear base)  and 1 coat of Essie - Matte About You.

Weak sun

Mattified glitter looks sooooo amazing! And flakies too but I need to try that one day too (probably when I get my hands on some Nfu.OH flakies). :i

That's all for today, I'm sooo sleepy so I'm going to take a nap for an hour or two. :)

Easter Funky French Skittles

I wasn't planning doing an Easter manicure but I remembered how much I liked Funky French Skittles at The Polished Perfecionist so for my Easter manicure I decided to make something like she did. I wish my nails were longer so the french tip'd be longer but anyway, I must say I like it a lot!

It's so colorful, just like chocolate eggs I'm eating right now *yummi* so it's perfect for Easter too. :P

 From thumb to pinkie:

Essie - Van D'Go & Orly - Pixy Stix

China Glaze - Something Sweet & China Glaze - Rich & Famous

China Glaze - Light as Air & China Glaze - Spontaneous

China Glaze - Agent Lavender & Essence - Forget-Me-Not

China Glaze - Secret Peri-wink-le & H&M - Blue My Mind

I used 2 coats of each polish, even for the french tip. All polishes are creme, just Forget-Me-Not has secret shimmer. :i It's so fun to make it and combine different colors. :i It's quite hard for me to find a matching blue, since I don't own a lot of blues (I've to change that :$ ). Colors are most accurate on last picture. :) Just Essie - Van D'Go became more orange after putting one layer of TC, weird. xo

That's all for today! :)

Take care,
Ivana :k
