Pink Glittery Leopard Print

My nails are in bad condition atm, so I'm not really into making something special, mostly I'm wearing just bright and neon pinks. :i That's why I'm not posting really often. Week ago I got another parcel with goodies for review purposes from Born Pretty Store and I decided to bring my nails to life. :D

Final result...

Daylight

I got BK Nail Polish in #8850 (that's the number from the bottle, on BPS page you can find it here under #08). It's pretty bubblegum pink with not really matte but more like satin finish. Brush is wide and flat, formula is superb and it dries fast.

BK Nail Polish - #8850 / 2 coats

Then I decided to use my new goodies I got from Canadian Nail Fanatic that I won in her giveaway - Cheeky Plates and China Glaze - Full Spectrum. <3 I also tested BPS Black Nail Art Stamping Polish. You get 3 ml of thick black polish, which works great with stamping. I think once you pick the pattern with stamper, you have to work fast or it can dry before you manage to transfer the pattern on the nail. Or maybe it's just me out of practice, because I lately rarely stamp my manicures. :i

Circus Confetti with Gradient

This was just a random combo I did after 2 days of wearing this lovely gradient. My friend had this polish on her desk and when I was there, I painted my ring finger. I really loved how it looked with gradient, so when I got home, I made a full mani. :D

The polish I used was Circus Confetti from Essence. :L All those multi colored glitters scream fun when you look at the bottle. :e

I only have one picture of my manicure so I wanted to share my lovely boy with you. :D I was just playing with him on our balcony so I snap this picture of him! He's already a big boy, can you tell? :) Cats grow so fast! :/

Do you have any multicolored glitters? Which one is your favorite? Do you like it over gradient? :)

Have a lovely day!

I'll take you to the Candy Shop

Am I the only one who have 50 Cent's Candy Shop beat and music in my head when I see Candy Shop? Such an old song that brings me back to childhood when I thought he was singing about lollipops. :D

Anyway.... Candy Shop from Claire's is a good substitute for Deborah Lippmann's guess which one? Yes, Candy Shop. :D They're not dupes but they're really very very close. Here you can see a great comparison post at Sincerely Stephanie. :) Since I got this one, I really don't need the other one. :)

I expected much worse application but it went on like butter. I added 2 coats, glitter stayed flat but I still added a coat of top coat. There's still some VNL so I should maybe add another coat, but it wasn't so obvious in person.

There's a lot of going on in this polish... Multicolored hexagonal glitter and round tiny glitter in a sheer jelly light pink base. :L I'll definitely wear it soon again, because it's sooo gorgeous! I removed it with a foil method, so no rubbing was needed. :)

 Do you like Candy Shop? :D

 My baby boy got neutered today. He's still a bit angry and ignoring me... :)

This picture was made right before we went to the vet...

And when we came home... So sleepy and dizzy... Awwwwwww. :k

I'm so happy this is behind both of us, because I was so stressed out these days. He's already jumping and playing around. :)

Have a lovely weekend dear readers and thanks for reading!

Glitter Sandwich

 

I just had to take a picture like this. xD Everytime I think of glitter, jelly etc. sandwiches I imagine this. ^_^

Anyway, I obviously made a glitter sandwhich but on my nails. :D I wanted to go with something more pink as one of the glitters is and I didn't want to use Show it and Glow it from OPI, so I took another purple glitter.

I applied 2 coats of each, changing OPI - Sparkle-icious & Wet n Wild - Glitz for each coat. Combinations is soooo beautiful. <3

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Pacific Blue

Good morning everyone.

I asked you, dear readers, which one should I choose first from the swap with Carolina. And she requested Pacific blue, so here it is, just for you dear Carolina.

I add 1 coat and Seche Vite fast drying topcoat - Really is fast drying! Love it! I still don't like the brush of Sally Hansen Xtreme wear polishes.

It's really hard to capture the real color of this one. My phone always make it brighter! It's really an amazing blue creme polish.

One extra photo with my FULL SIZE of Mad as a Hatter, yaaaaaaaaay! I just got it!


Have fun!

OPI - Mad as a Hatter

I'm sure you already saw it a thousand times but here you'll see it again.

Mad as a Hatter is a multi color glitter nail polish from the OPI Alice In Wonderland Collection. When I first saw it, I was like - I didn't like it at all!! But a couple of days ago I watched swatches again and I fell in love with. I wish that never happened, because now I can't get a full size!

So, very kind Tamara from Cherry Colors send me a mini and I was so happy so I tried it immediately when I came back home yesterday. All I can say is - Wooooooooooow! Stunning! I can't stop looking at my nails.

So, thank you Tamara a lot!

But now I want a full size and I can't get it anywhere and now I'm so sad. I wish mini OPI-s would be a littlebit bigger, so it could last for a while. And I'm mad at myself, because I could easely buy it and I didn't.

On the pictures are 2 coats and 2 coats G2G! I won't take it off till it'll chipp away. Click on the picture to see more details of multicolor glitter. It was really hard to capture real color and I also forgot my second phone at boyfriend, so this is the best I could take.

So bling bling, right? Amazing! And with this tiny bottle my fingers look huge.

And one close up photo:
How many colors! Stunning!


MY REQUEST! Please read.

If anyone of my readers have it and don't like it, or if you can find it at your place please let me know, because I would buy it immediately or we can do a swap! I can get you anything what I can get in our stores. Please let me know if someone is interested. You're my last chance to get a full size of this stunning nail polish.

Edit - 13/9: I purchase it on e-bay! One really kind girl help me to get it, because I don't own a credit card yet! Hope, I'll get it soon!

Have a nice and relaxing weekend!

Ivana
