Essence LE Fairytale - Once Upon a Time

One of polish I bought recently from Fairytale collection. I'm still looking for Welcome to Wonderland, hope I'll find it soon.
I usually don't wear red polishes, I think I don't know how to wear them. But I had to try it... Once Upon a Time - red shimmery polish. It needs just 1 coat for full opacity, that's a big +.

I don't know why is my pinkie darker, maybe I added a thicker coat? But difference wasn't visible in RL as on picture.

What do you think?

I changed a blog header and background, do you like it? I searched for pink background so long and finnaly I found something I like. While I was reading Nihrida's blog and her Think Pink manicure, I got a new idea for name of my blog - Think Pink... I'm still not sure if that's OK, so please help me. I would love to keep my name somehow in name but I don't know how to make a perfect word combination. Any ideas are more than welcome!

Happy beggining of the week and to all slovenian readers - hope you're good and you'll get some sweets tommorow.... Miklavž is already here!

Xoxo,

Essence LE Into the Ocean + BM

My Snowflakes manicure is finally here. It took me so long to transfer pictures from my phone to laptop. I had it like 5 days on my nails and it was still perfect, no tip wear at all. until I took a really loong bath so it chipped and I had to took it off. But it really lasted quite long.

Like I said I added to Bubble Bubble a few snowflakes with BM14 and Essence Stamp Me White polish. It's snow here and I hate it, but I really like snowlakes on my nails.

So, what do you think? Snowflake pattern is really so cute and perfect for this snowy December. Bubble bubble is very shiny, with TC even more.

I decided to stop adding watermarks on my pictures, because I don't like it. In one of my next posts I'll present you my top 10 favorite polishes, because I don't change my manicures so often as usual. I hope you'll like it! If you have any suggestion what would you like to see on my blog, please tell me. I'm open to new ideas, because recently I lost my inspiration.

I was so bored today, so I played dominos with my mum. Do you like playing games?


Take care,
Ivana

Swap with Martje from **Girly - Addictions**

Hola, what're you doing? Here is snowing as hell and I can't go anywhere because I just hate going out when it's cold and freezing. I feel just fine at home with cup of cocoa.

I just managed to took pictures of my swap package which I got today. A time ago I contacted Martje from **Girly - Addictions** for swapping Essence polishes... You're wondering why Essence if I can get it in my local store. Because this TE Denim Wanted was here available just in Müller and I couldn't get any of polishes I want! Because swapping is fun, so why not? I'm happy, I also hope she'll be happy when she'll receive her package and what we want more?

She also offered me to pick up more polishes for me, but I decided for just one and I'm happy I did! Let's start with pictures, shall we? Oh BTW, these pictures are taken under my desk light on a piece of white paper. I played with setting on my phone camera a bit, then I correct brithness/concrast in PS and here they are... An alternative if you're not having a lightbox.

I was most impressed with this beautiful and specific bottle, also with its content.

Nfu.Oh - #63

This is my first Nfu.Oh! It's pink and holographic... Love at first sight! I have a few holos in my stash but I've never seen a rainbow like that in the bottle. I'm saving this beauty for a sunny day! I had 63&64 on my WL, but while I was seeing swatches they look quite simmilar to me, so I don't need both. I read also that's its application is better if you're using a Nfu-Oh - Aqua Base and I'll definetely pick it up in the future. Everything for this beauty!

I steal idea of color drops from Nihrida and I made one too.

It turns out blue, pink and purple. I couldn't capture rainbow in it, but I like this dropp too. Can't wait to see it on a sunny day! I'll took like 474827 pictures.

Next are polishes from TE Denim Wanted.

Forever Mine
High Waist Pink

With help from Netherlands I finally got them! Please Essence, don't do this again, if you're making TE please make it available for everyone, especially for us, nail polish addicts. I got two blues and one pink, all are cremes.

One polish from Catrice LE Expect the Unexpected...

Purposely Purple

A nice creme purple... Yaay! I want that TE from Catrice would be available here too!

She was so kind and she included so much extra goodies, let's take a look.

Candies of course, yuuuummmmmi. I love candies and this is great opportunity not just to try polishes but to sweet your moments with candies too.

I definetely celebrated when I opened a goodie-box, Martje! It's awesome.

Thank you so much for sending me all this, I can't wait to try them all. You really made my day!

How do you like it? Sorry for so many pictures I just couldn't take just one and I wanted to test my new technique of taking pictures under my desk lamp.

Take care,

Essence TE I Love Berlin Preview

Here is another one TE I Love Berlin available also in January and February 2011 like TE Black and White. I'm not sure if this one'll be available in Slovenia, because I can't find it on Essence slovenian page, but anyway, it would be great to see it in our stores too, becaute it's supposed to be international TE and not only for Germany.

This collection has 5 nail polishes and 2 matte tip painter. Black, teal, greens and one pink, yay for me. If we can believe colors on this preview pictures. I don't like green so I think I won't pick any of these shades, we'll see but I would love to get my hands on these cute lipbalms.

So, what do you think about this one? Any lemmings?

Xoxo,

Essence TE Black and White Preview

December has just started, yaaaaaaaay, Happy December is finally here!

Today I've for you new Essence TE Black and White that will be available in January to February 2011.

Image credit

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
