This time are in collection just 2 nail polishes, Black and white with Soft Touch Finish. I'm wondering what kind of finish is that - on Essence page it says - neither matt nor glossy, I guess it'll be kind of Satin finish? We'll see. Top coat isn't just an usual TC, like Essence says - top coat with a white holographic appearance gives your nails a special look. We'll see about that too. And I just realized that mono eyeshadows and false lashes are packed in same packaging.

What do you think? Any lemmings? I still don't know if I'll buy anything, but I've to wait for some good swatches.

Take care,
Ivana

Essence LE Into the Ocean - Bubble Bubble

When I saw this beautiful Snowflakes manicure at Tinna's Blog I decided to copy her mani on my nails.You should check her blog, she really makes amazing konadicures! Thank you Tinna for inspiration!

Bubble Bubble is a nail polish from Into the Ocean TE and it's very close to Fairy Berry from this new TE Fairytale. That's the only reason why I didn't buy Fairy Berry. I'm really avoiding having dupes in my stash. I got this from Ana, thank you sweety!

Bubble bubble it's a lovely purple polish with foil finish. I add 2 coats, application is great, it dries fast so I didn't use a fast drying TC.

Sorry for bad pictures, I took last photo at 3PM yesterday and it already started to darken outside. I also stamped snowflakes, but I have to transfer pictures from my phone, so I'll show you them later.

Did you watch El Clasico yesterday? I watched it for about 25 minutes and I was so nervous that I took a long bath instead of watching rest of match. Barca ate Real Madrid, I admit. But it's not over, yet! We'll see what'll happen at Santiago Bernabéu!

Take care,

Essence LE Fairytale Haul

Let it snow, let is snow, let is snow... NOT.

Yesterday was snowing again and it was really beautiful seeing it through the window until today, because I had to check my local DM if new TE Fairytale from Essence is available. It's so cold outside and everything is wet... Hate it! It looks like this...

At least I got 3 polishes that I want from this new TE. I wanted just 2 but then I bought one more.

Tinka's Dress

I also wanted to pick Fairy Berry but when I saw comparison with Bubble bubble at Nail Junkie, where you can also see beautiful swatches of this collection, I knew I don't need another one so similar.

These bottles are just so cute, do you agree?

Essence LE Glam Rock - Pink Punk + BM

What's the perfect polish to stamp on holo polish? Another holo polish. I decided to make another mani with this lovely stripes pattern. Like before I had to stamp it once and then stripe by stripe to fill the empty place at side of my nails.

I used Color Club - Wild at Heart for stamping over Pink Punk and BM20. Only one picture fot today.

What do you think? I really like it.

And this is my 150th post! Yeah... I really hope I won't lose my inspiration and I have to make a Light Box as soon as possible. I always hesitate from today on tommorow.

Wish you happy and relaxing Sunday!

Essence LE Glam Rock - Pink Punk

Holographic nail polish on a snowy day? Nope, not a good idea, because it's kind of boring manicure. I picked Pink Punk from TE Glam Rock Pink Punk - pink holo nail polish.

On daylight looks boring, I really love how it looks like on pictures with flash. It's so easy to apply, I add 2 coats, fast drying time, so I didn't have any problems with application.
