Glitter In The Air

I goooooooooooooot it toooday. :L Thank you so much *M* from *All My Silly Ideas*, who helped me to get this beauty in my hands!

I wanted it since the day when I saw this post at Fashion Polish, when I fell in love with layering over pink and when I saw this swatch at With love, Ana. Seriously, these pictures just make you wanting it! :b

This polish was my motivation for my exams and because I passed all of them, I needed something to reward myself right? :P If I'd failed, I'd get it as a consolation anyway. :D

Here's just a bottle picture because I'm so excited to have it but as soon as I'll have some free time for my nails, I'll show you swatches. :)

Do you like it? Do you have any Deborah Lippmann's glitters? Which one is your favorite? :)

Xoxo,

Ivana :k

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...

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

Essence - Replay

It feels like I didn't show you my nails for ages. :D Finally I took some time yesterday and paint my nails. :) I've an idea in my minds for a whole week but since my freehand skills aren't that great I decided to make something way easier but the final result I'll be showing you next time. :)

Like I said a while ago I got a bunch of new polishes from Veri to try out and I still have so many left. :i I'm too lazy to change my manicure so often as before especially if I love it. :D Did you see that Essence'll have some new products in September (again) and I still didn't buy anything I'd like from new goodies which they've released in March. They're so fast with new stuff and lots of new limited editions. :)

Replay is a turquoise leaning more towards green creme nail polish. It's more on the thicker side, you can easily get away with one thick coat like I did on my right hand but here I've 2 coats and a layer a TC. :) I just hate its brush.. I never had problems with Essence's Multi Dimensions brushes but this one wasn't the first wonky brush I tried and I saw many complains about their brushes since they released new bottles in March. So please Essence fix that! :)

We've horrible and coooold weather (I'm freezing in July :ice ) so taking great pictures was really hard and my phone's acting really weird lately. xo

If you love this color, you can't miss with Replay. :) First I thought this was a dupe for For Audrey but it's not. For Audrey is more pastel and more blue as this one in case you're wondering. :)

What do you think?

And thanks to all new and of course old followers who've joined my blog. There's already 705 of you, I never thought I'll have so many followers so I'm really happy to see you here. :k

Xoxo,

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

Barry M

Berry Ice Cream

Strawberry Ice Cream

 Pink Instant Nail Effect

MUA #16

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,

Essence TE Ballerina Backstage Haul

I finally got everything I wanted from Essence's new trend edition Ballerina Backstage, which is currently available in DM but mostly everything is sold out, same for Nails in Style, but I'll talk more about haul from this TE another time. :)

Here's what I got. :)

Nail polish 

02 Wear Your Little Tutu

Blush Sufflé 

01 Prima Ballerina

Eye Soufflé 

01 Dance the Swan lake

02 Pes des Copper

03 Grand-plié in black

Like I already said in preview post I was most excited for eye soufflés and blush soufflé as for polishes. :) If you want to see really beautiful swatches this TE (polishes, eye soufflés and blush soufflé) take a look on Parokeets blog, Gejba made me buy Wear Your Little Tutu. :D I didn't like others neither I had money for more, but I can still see polishes on rack, just the black one is gone from the beggining. :D

This is the first time I's trying to make swatches of something else than nail polish and it's so hard. xo

 

From L to R:

03 Grand-Plié in black

01 Dance the Swan lake

02 Pes des Copper

I don't even know how to describe them. :$ I really like copperish one, it's shimmery and it's great for defining your lids, creamy white is the most opaque and black one is more on a sheer side, I had to apply more coats to achieve such a dark look.

More after a click... :)
