NOTD:Essence Fall for me

Today I've decided to wear something blue on my nails. But I also wanted something soft and girly. So, I've picked Essence Fall for me from their(discontinued) Multidimension line.

Fall for me is a light blue creme, I'd say it's baby blue=P I've had some problems with the application, because it was streaky, but after the third coat everything was great!
And then I decided to layer one coat of China glaze Fairy dust over it. Soooo amazing<3 Fairy dust is one of my favourited polishes. It's so pretty and the bling...just amazing! See for yourself:

How do you like my manicure?

NOTD:Pink nail art

I'm still alive=P Just no time for posting, I need all my time for my studying=(

I've seen this design on many, many, maaany nails before, and I wanted to do it for a long time, but never really got to it. But now I had time, so yesterday I did it! I was doing it troughout the day(one layer-one hour of study). Anyways, here it is, yesterday's manicure:

I have to say I'm really proud of this! The design turned out great! But unfortunatelly you can see where my top coat dragged the black polish=( I was so sad when I saw this. That's why I know I won't be wearing this for long. Do you know what top coat doesn't do stuff like this??
I really wanted to make a gradient butterfly, I hope you can see that on the pictures=) It was clearly visible IRL.
Does anyone know whose idea was this? I know many ladies re-created this and I'd love to know who was the first that came up with this idea=)
Oh, and here are the polishes used for this manicure:

Do you like it?

Today's haul

Here's what I bought today:

Essence Time for romance, Catrice I wear my sunglasses at night, Essence Candyction, Essence Colourbruation, Essence Glitterastic, Essence Confetteria and Essence Princessorize

As you can see I was able to get all the polishes that I wanted from the Crazy good times TE. And I'm very happy about that, they are gorgeous! I'm sure you've already seen swatches of these, but I promise I'll post mine by the end of the weel(yup, I'm bussy - studying=/). I also bought Essence Time for romance, because this was the polish that my BF picked up and said I should buy it and Catrice I wear my sunglasses at night, because it's going to be discontinued soon, and I really wanted this polish for some time, but never actually bought it until now.

Today my nails were naked all day due to studying and not having time to do them=/ But I'm sure I'll paint them tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll show them to you;)

NOTD Essence Cotton candy with a twist=)

So, here's my NOTD for today. I've chosen Essence Cotton candy from Circus, circus TE yesterday, when I saw swatches from Anna. But I didn't want to have just polish, so I thought what can I do? And heer's what I did:

These picture will be a bit bigger, because they were taken with my phone, since my camera battery died. I don't know if you are able to see this in the picture, but I'm wearing Cotton candy creme on all fingers excpet ring finger, where I'm wearing Essence Love of pink(from Multidimension line), and Cottond candy glitter on all fngers. I've stamped this with a design from Essence plate, that has different french manicure stamps on it(I hope you know what I'm talking about) and Color club Where's the soiree? Please, understand this was one of my first real tries with stamping and it's a little bit sloppy...well, it's not perfect but for now it will do. But I'm planning to improve in the future, so if you have any tips and trick...please, share!=)

Here are the pictures without stamping:

 

What can I say? i'm in love with this polish! The creme part  is just perfect! True one coater, and the colour is really amazing. I'd say it's a darkened pink/purple, depends on the light. Love of pink is a pink creme, that needed two coats for full opacity.
And the pictures without the glitter part:

How do you like my manicure?

Barry M swatches

Today I'm going to show you my Barry M nail polishes. I love their application!  It's sooo easy and they really dry fast. I'm sure I'll own many, many, many more in the future, but right now here's what I have:

Berry Ice cream:

Beautiful pastel lilac creme! I used three coats on the pictures, but two would have been enough. This is such a soft, beautiful polish, I really like it. It dries to a glossy finish=)

Bright purple:

Here I've had little application problems, but nothing three coats couldn't handle=) Great purple creme, that dries glossy.

Indigo:

Such a beauty! Blurple colour, opaque in 2coats. The finish is kind of jelly and it dries extremely glossy, it looks almost like its still wet. I'm totally in love with this one.It's not unique, but it is amazing! But photographing it...mission impossible...It always shows on pictures blue, so I had to photoshope it to show its true colours=/

Marshmallow pink:

Huh, and the trouble beggins=P This one was quite a challenge. It applied streaky and it needed three coats for full opacity. This is a  pastel peachy polish. This is not a colour for me, I don't like it.

Mushroom:

 Taupe creme. I really don't like it. The application was once again flawless, but the colour...it just isn't for me. I don't really like brown or taupe on my nails, but if I have it, it has to be that warm, chocolate brown, and this isn't the case. But for the ones that love this kind of shade, it's a must-have;) 2 coats were needed.

Racing green:

This is such an amazing green! It's dark green with shimmer. First coat was a little sheer, but second made it opaque.

Violet gold shimmer:

Another one that's not really my cup of tea. In the bottle it looks okay, but on the nail...not so much. It's duochrome, but I don't know...something is just missing for me. Maybe if I'd layered it? I need to try that!
 Do you have any suggestions? On the pictures I have three coats.


Neon green:

Mah, I'm not a fan of this one really. It's streaky neon green with shimmer. It's okay, but not really my cup of tea. It needed three coats for full opacity.

Neon pink:

 I love this shade! Really "look-at-me" pink! It took me three coats, but well worth it! It is really bright neon pink with gorgeous shimmer. One of my favourites(I've used it for many times already, and that is really unusual for me).

Neon yellow:

This is a sheer neon yellow with yellow shimmer. It's beautiful, but unfortunatelly really sheer. I did three coats and my nail line was visible. I should try it over white sometime

Instant nail effect Black magic:

I did one coat over each polish. This is great crackle! I dries to this somekind matte finish, but it looks amazing=)

How do you like them? Are there any others you think I should try?

Miss sporty spam

I've just found out that Miss Sporty brand isn't going to be sold here anymore (I might be late to the party, but anyways...), so I decided to swatch my Miss sporty nail polishes. Unfortunatelly on their web site there are only names and on the bottles there are only numbers, so I have only numbers. They retail for ~2€, and their quality is quite good=) Their brush is wider than usual, but I find it easy to work with. I don't wear top coat on any of following pictures. On to the polishes:

#150:

It's gorgeous red creme, with hidden pink/light red shimmer, that comes out on the sun, but I couldn't capture it on the pictures=/ I really, really, really like it <3 The application was amazing, for full opacity it needed 2 coats, but I did three on all the nails except of index finger.

#160:

Another red. This one is absolutelly stunning! It's red with golden/orange shimmer, so elegant! I used two coats on the pictures, but it would also be okay to use one thicker. I haven't had any problems with the application.

#313:

Another dark shade. This one is purple=) It has beautiful shimmer, and in the bottle it appears to be slightly duochrome, but it doesn't translate on the nail. One coat would be enough to achieve full opacity, but I used two=) The application was a bit harder, because this one has a bit wonky brush, but the polish itself applies great!

#340:

Another red. This one is darker,I'd say it's burgundy colour. This one is true creme, no shimmer. The application of this one was a little bit tricky, but nothing three coats couldn't manage(or two thicker ones)

#346:

Beautiful, beautiful green/teal shade with silver shimmer. This one was really hard to take pictures of, in every picture it appeared blue. That's why my skin colour is a little off on these pictures, I photoshoped it to show you the true colour. I wear two coats here, and the application was great! I'd say this one is a must have!

#404:

This one is a darker glass fleck pink. Another beauty! I'd say one coat might be enough, but I used two. As for the application, it was flawless! This one is a must have for pink lovers!


How do you like Miss sporty nail polishes? Also, are there any that I'm missing? Any suggestions will be highly appriciated;)
