OPI - Rumple's Wiggin

I didn't like Rumpelstiltskin in the movie... But Rumple's Wiggin stole my heart. :) Another stunner from Shrek forever after collection after Funky Dunkey. :L I wore it almost a month ago and I finally crop the pictures and choose the best of them. :)

Application is great, I think I used 3 thin coats for a full opacity. It's nice light lilac soft creme color. :) First picture is most color accurate.

In case you're searching for its dupe, I think Essie - Nice is nice is the closest. :) I really can't see the difference between these two... I still didn't try Essie so I can't compare them by application but I think you don't need both of them unless if you want a back up. I prefer having differents brand than 2 same bottles, it's more fun. :D

I really love pastels so I love it! What about you?

Xoxo,

Orly - Bubbly Bombshell

Hey there! :k How are you all doing? :) 

I just started being sleepy because few minutes ago I was still full of energy. I didn't sleep much in these 2 days, I had two exams in a row and that never work for me... It's quite hard to study when you're sleepy, I drank some energy drinks and my tummy was hurting, I's shaking from inside this morning... No more energy drinks for me. I really love their taste but... No thanks. :D Anyway, today was such a bad day, I had a bad feeling about my exam but then my professor told me that I've oral exam next week so there's still a chance. This is my first oral exam on this faculty and I'm already nervous but at least I have a whole week to prepare myself even better. :) Now I'll take few days off and then again...

When I arrived to capital today, my feet were hurting, I got a blister on one of my foot because of sneakers, which I'm wearing like 2 years and I never have problems with them. :D But something was wrong with my pinkie on my left foot. My nail was obviously too long so it cut my finger and there was a loooot of blood. When I saw my socks, I thought that I lost my finger. xo But that didn't stop me from some shopping, I didn't buy polishes at all, I went to pick some flip flops (but I didn't find any I'd like) so I picked 2 pairs of ballerinas and cardigan. I'm going back tommorow to spoil myself just a little more. :D 

 Enough or talking... Probably no one doesn't read this anyway. :i

If you follow me on Twitter, you already saw this beauty, which I've for few days now on my nails now. :D I's posting picture of my weekly manicures there almost all the time. :)

Bubbly Bombshell is another beauty I got in swap with blondie711. :L I still didn't took pics of all polish I got but I'll do that probably these days. :$ This one is from Orly's Pin Up collection. It's such a stunning magenta two size glitter in clear base. I added 3 thin coats and a layer of TC. Look at this stunner. :L

I took a blurry picture to show you how this beauty sparkles! And of course it's sparkling even more in RL. :)

If you're wondering if Petunia Sparkle from Nubar it's dupe - I'd say that color is almost same, but the main difference between them is Orly's two sized glitter as you can see on the picture below. :) This is how Bubbly Bombshell looks with one coat.

1 coat

It's the fifth day I've it on my nails and it would still look without chips if I hadn't take my sneakers off and back on so many times today while trying so many shorts and I'd to use my fingers. :D

I hope you like it so much as I love it! :L Another fave for sure! :) Do you picked any colors from Pin Up collection?

P. S.: Can you see how many smileys I'm using totally unconsciously. :i

Take care,

Ivana :k

Essence TE Ballerina BACKSTAGE Preview

Last but definitely not least (would Tyra say :P ) TE in July 2011 is Ballerina BACKSTAGE. This one is my favorite. :)

All images are taken from Essence.eu.

I guess they're inspired by movie Black Swan... :D Lace, black, ballerina... :)

Nail polish:

"no matter whether you are dancing the swan lake, nutcracker or carmen – with these long-lasting nail polishes, each and every arabesque is sure to be the crowning glory of every show. from delicate to bright, there’s a color to suit all acts. available in 01 dance the swan lake, 02 wear your little tutu, 03 on your gracile tiptoe, 04 do a floating pirouette and 05 grand-plié in black. "

I want.... :L All polishes looks so promising to me except the black one (I think it'll be similar as Undead? from Eclipse collection but with orange/cooper glitter). Essence released many beautiful pastels this year with great application so I hope they won't be too sheer like Catrice Urban Baroque was. :)

Eye soufflé... I don't wear a lot of eyeshadows but I definitely want those... Just because... And Blush soufflé for sure! I never go out without a blush... :$ You can't never have enough blushes at home. :P

I don't know if all 3 TE's will be available in Slovenia. xo They're all released in July but we never get more than 2 in one month so I think we'll have to wait till August or even September... :D

Which one do you like most? 50's Girl Reloaded, NAILS In style or this one?

Xoxo,

Ivana :k

Essence TE 50's Girl Reloaded Preview

Another TE available in July 2011 is 50's Girl Reloaded. :) Let's take a look:

 All images are taken from Essence.eu.

Inspired by mariners, anchors... Blue and white combination all around. :)

Nail polish:

"port is red, starboard is blue – and the 50’s girls reloaded nail polishes? they are an absolute must-have for all mariner girls who want to be the captain! with their long-lasting formula and the most gorgeous effects, these nail polishes are sure to cause a sensation on board! so go for it! hoist the anchor and polish your nails! available in 01 ahoy!, 02 back to the 50’s, 03 i’m a marine girl, 04 love me tender and 05 you’re a heartbreaker."

Another Ahoy! but this time from Essence (they're inspired by Anchors Away China Glaze collection I guess). And another Love me tender from Essence TE's. :) These are supposed to be jellies, yay for that. :e I love jellies, we'll see how'll they look like in real - I want more squishy look-a-like polishes. :) 

Lipstick look great. :L So bad I can't use them, my lips are dry all the time - nothing doesn't help. :( And Eyeshadow brush looks great - I don't know what's with me but I recently bought those brushes from Essence and I'm not using them because my MU skills aren't that great. :D I can't even apply an eyeshadow and create something that I'd like. xo

What do you think about this one? :)

Xoxo,

Ivana :k

Essence TE NAILS in style Preview

Essence is going crazy with new limited editions. :) Next 3 months will be crazy, I have to save some money so I can buy all I want (even some MU). If we ever get this stuff of course. :)

First one I'm showing you today is NAILS in style, which will be available in July 2011.Take a look:

  All images are taken from Essence.eu.

A collection full of nail thingies. :i

Nail Polish

"following in the tracks of the summer… four exciting, shimmering nail polishes put a touch of summer on your hands and feet. whether you select a petrol color reminiscent of lampions from a garden party, turquoise blue and holographic shades like the depths of the sea, fruity berry colors like the fruits of the summer or silver like the early-morning horizon – with these polishes, you can set fascinating accents to go with your mood. available in 01 style for summer nights, 02 style me holo, 03 style me love and 04 style-ish baby!"

Holographic? Yeah right, like all "holographics" till now, right? Why they don't just use the word duochrome?  Sooo annoying. xo

I'm most interested in nail foils... It's really hard to get any nail foils (read: can't get at all) here so these will be perfect for trying them out, of course I want the pink one. But let's just wait the swatches... Sometimes things aren't that great like they look like. :)

Xoxo,
Ivana :k
