Thank you !

Good morning dear readers and followers !

We can't believe we've reached out 101 followers ! That's amazing. Thank you so very much to all of you who have been following, commenting and supporting. We really appreciate each and every one one you !

Now about the giveaway, as you may know, it's now closed. I'll be verifing the entries and I'll be probably able to announce the winner tomorrow ! ;)

I don't know if I'll have the time to post during the week-end but I'll encourage my sis to post some of her nail arts hehehe.

Talk to you soon,
xoxo


Suprise !

Just a little, fast, post for my sister (who's working hard while I'm doing that !)

I was missing my leopard manicure, so ... Here it is !



I used China Glaze - Lemon Fizz and Milani - Gold Glitz.


To do the leopard "skin", I used the best "nail art novice tool" ever created ! The Essence - Nail Art Pen ! For the girls who don't know this, it's like a paint pen but with polish, except that it is not polish, it's better ! It looks like polish but it's water soluble !!! No more mistake on your "just done" nails !


It is LEGEND ... wait for it ... DARY !


XOXO to my sister, who , I know, is gonna check the blog before I tell her to do it ;)

I really need to try Gems over a white polish, I'm sure it will look great. Do you own this one ? Or do you have one of its dupe ? What color should I try it over ?

Don't forget to enter our first giveaway here ! You still have a few days to enter ;)

Thanks for stopping by

Pimp My mani #2

Hey there !

I hope everyone is enjoying their week-end ! Just a quick post to show you what I added to my previous mani which was starting to chip: yes it's PMM time ! ;)

I added some OPI - Black Shatter over 2 coats of Milani - Hi Res. Then I applied one coat of Essence - Space Queen, a multi colored glitters top coat.
Yes I've finally got my own bottle of Black Shatter. It was about time !

What do you think ? (Please forgive my very dry hands and cuticles)

Do you have some Milani holos ? What do you think of them ? This is my first one and I have to say I'm really pleased with it even if it's not a really strong and linear holo.
Enjoy your week-end you all.

Thanks for stopping by,

Baby it's sunny outside

Hello ladies

I hope everyone is fine. Sorry I didn't have time to post sooner ! Anyway today I have for you a gorgeous polish from my bestfriend's collection: OPI - Baby It's Coal Outside (from the 2008 Holiday in Toyland collection). S was lucky to find this baby in south of France ;)

For those of you who are regular readers, you may know that I love black/vampy polishes... I couln't help but love this one ! It's gorgeous. Application was flaweless like always with OPI  and opaque in two coats.

Other news: I have finally discovered MUA and there's gonna be two swaps very soon, I'm excited. You'll see some pics very soon ! I may get some of my lemmings ;)

Anyway here's the polish:

Swap - part. 1

Hey everyone !

I hope you're all enjoying your week-end. The first polish I chose from my swap with Lauren is a new polish from the Nicole by OPI Something about Spring collection. This one is called Iceberg Lotus and it's emerald glass fleck with blue duochrome. It's really shinny but my pics won't really show how much because it's really cloudy and it's raining today...

I used 3 coats for this one because it's very thin. I still can see some VLN but I don't care, the color is so gorgeous.

This is my first Nicole by OPI so I didn't know what to expect but I'm pretty pleased. The brush was easy to work with. the only low point is that I'm not that into the bottle shape, not ideal for storage but who cares ?!

Let's see the swatches, shall we ?
