Christmas Manicure

I'm so lazy these days... Being lazy is the thing I'm really doing best.So one short post for today.

I did this mani on a Christmas Eve but I didn't like it. I stole the holy idea from Emerald Sparkled but she did better combination than me. Red was darker and my nail line wasn't visible like it's showed on picture below.

1 coat Essence Show Your Feet - Hot Red
2 coats Essence Stamp me! White on ring finger
BM14
Yes Love 287
Pink rhinestones Viva La Nails

I also won a 20$ cuopon code for BornPretty at Emerald Sparkled, I already purschase some things, can't wait to try them. This is my first giveaway I've ever won, yay. Keep them coming!

Hope you had a great Christmas!
Ivana

Merry Christmas!

You are special, you are unique; may your Christmas be also as special and unique as you are!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Take care,

Ivana

Snowman

I'm so lazy these days, I'm sleeping all the time. My nails were naked for a few days and one of my hand is still naked. I don't know why but when I paint my left hand I don't have any will to paint my right hand.

I picked Snowman, which I got from Carolina - a pink with holographic glitter, very beautiful and sparkly. I add 2 coats, application is great, it dries very fast, so I didn't have to add TC. Brush is great, not too wide but perfect for my nails.

Here is a cute snowman bottle, where I captured holo effect.

I really like it and holo glitter makes it even more special and perfect. What do you think about this beauty?

My Top 10 Favorite Nail Polishes 2010 Part II.

I'm still wearing Roxy and because I really can't start learning I decided to finally write this post. Here is my last 5 of top 10 nail polishes for this year (click to see part I). I tried to pick polishes from different brands...

Catrice - Sweets for my Sweets

Are you looking for a bubblegum pink? This one is perfect... Sweets for my Sweets. I have few polishes from Catrice but this one I really like the most. You still have to add 3 coats but the result is just so sweet and with fast drying top coat even 3 or more coats aren't the problem anymore!

Claire's Mood Color Changing Nail Polish - Calm/Wild

I never expected that color changing polishes even exist and sometimes when I'm talking to friends that are not so much into a nail stuff, don't believe me. I have 2 of them, want some more, but I like this one most for now. The best discover of this year for sure! Calm/Wild comes in purple/pink combination, perfect match! Application is easy, brush is great, color gorgeous... I love having them on nails and playing with water - that's just fun!

Color Club - Wild at Heart
Wild at Heart, Fall 2009

Wild at Heart is the best purple holo ever + one coater! Wow, wow and once again - wow! I just love it! Perfect for manis, for stamping, for everything. You just must have it in your stash! Can't wait for sunny days to see its holo effect! We want more polishes like this one for sure!

Essence - Joe
LE Be a Nail Artist, Spring 2010

Joe was released came his twin Victory, but I picked just this one and I'm so happy I did. I still remember how I went to our store to pick something else and there was a full shelve of this LE so I picked all I wanted although I was broke. But it was worth it, I would regret if I would miss this beauty. It's a perfect warm lilac shade with a touch of pink, really special!

Zoya - Roxy

I didn't think I'll put Roxy till yesterday. A purple jelly base with magenta glitter. Amazing! Application is great, it dries fast, you just have to add TC to smooth the surface. Like a jam, so yummmi!

Pink, purples, glitters - . If I had to pick just one, I would pick Extravagance. Which one is your favorite?

Xoxo,
Ivana

Zoya - Roxy

Description from Zoya's official site says everything:

"Zoya Nail Polish in Roxy can be best described as: A sheer red-toned purple base loaded with bright purple glitter. A must-have shade for any rock star or glamour girl."

It looks like a raspberry jam! So yummmmi! I saw many swatches of this beauty but in RL is even prettier! A must-have!

I add 2 coats, application was great, I really like the brush. You have to add TC if you want the surface to be smooth. First picture was without TC and others with.

I it! What do you think? Thank you Carolina for sending me this beauty.

It was snowing yesterday and we have really a lot of snow now. It looks beautiful but it's also so coooold! One extra picture, Roxy with snow.

How was your day today? I woke up late and now I'm going to watch TV all night long. Lazy, lazy days... It feels so good when you don't have to do anything!

Xoxo,
Ivana
