4. We love american food.
5. One of us is a MAC addict, the other only borrow the makeup...
6. We learnt German for 8 years at school and are barely able to ask someone how he/she is doing...
7. We live in Switzerland... but no we don't live in a chalet ;)
8. One of us watches The Bold and The Beautiful everyday while painting her nails...


9. One of us loves to bake... the other loves to taste !
10. We will be happy to answer if you want to know something more about us !

My choice...for today at least

Hey there,

How are you doing ? Hope you are all ok !

I chose an H&M polish for this NOTD. I was pretty impressed by the quality of H&M polish (except for those 4 mini-polishes pack which totally suck). This one is called Bella's Choice and is a turquoise creme which is a ONE COATER. A one coater, can you believe it ? I applied 2 coats but a thick one would have been enough !

I'm not sure this color is a nice choice for my skin tone but apart from my personal taste I have absolutely no complaints about this H&M polish. Good job H&M !

What do you think ? What is your favorite turquoise polish ?

Have a great day/evening you guys !

Let's Meet, shall we ?

Hey everyone,

How are you doing ? I hope you're enjoying those first days of summer. Sorry about le lack of post, I couldn't find my camera ! I also took some exams... but now it's over and I officialy have a Master of Law ;). That's probably not so interesting for you to know so let's get into what really matters here: nail polish !

Now that summer is finally here, I really like to wear bright colors. Today I'm rocking Sinful Colors - Let's Meet. I won this in a giveaway hosting by Dionela over at Short and Sweet Nails so don't forget to go check out her blog and follow 'cause she's doing an awesome job !

Let's Meet is a yellow shimmer polish which is a bit on the sheer side. I used 3 coats on the pics. Despite the sheerness, I have to admit that I quite like that color. Maybe next time, I'll try to layer it over a yellow creme polish for more intensity.

The application was good, I like the brush, it allows a precise application. My mom bought a SC polish when we were in the States 2-3 years ago and the brush seemed thiner. I don't know if it's just me or what but if it's really a new brush, I like it better.

What do you feel about yellow polish for summer ? Any opinion on Let's Meet ? Also don't forget to enter our 150 follower giveaway ! 

Take care.

Milani - Glitz of Gold

Hey lovelies,

How are you doing ? I wasn't planning on posting for a while since I have some exams next week and I use that time to give my nails a little break... but I was going through my pics and found some that I've never posted. I must have forgot about them. Anyway here are some swatches of Milani - Glitz of Gold that I got from my swap with Lauren over at Lacquer Addict.

This polish is really a one coater so good job Milani ! That being said, I'm pretty sure I used two coats for those pics. I'm not wearing topcoat on those btw. The polish is gritty like most of the glitter polishes. You wanna use two coats of SV or a thick TC with this one.







I'm not a fan of gold polish but I have to say this one won my heart. I'll be wearing this baby during summer for sure ! What about you ladies ? What's your favorite gold polish ? And your favorite glitter polish ?

Have a nice week you all.
xoxo

Awesome people must be together !

Hey ladies !

As you might know, an awesome girl has to be with an awesome boy !

As you might know as well, I am an awesome girl (well, at least an awesome sister ...) and I am with an awesome boy !

You don't care about that, right ?!

But as I brought 14 polishes from Berlin to my sister, my boyfriend brought me back 9 polishes from Miami.

Now you agree with me, we're awesome ! XD
