Pinky Things

By request of one of my readers, which kinda coincided with my mood, I decided to go into pinks today :) Baby pink + some darker pink/violet seemed a nice combination to me, so now I'm sharing it:

The polish is Color Club Vintage Couture stamped with Yves Rocher Violin, which is very pigmented and quite good for konading. Hope you like it!

Aaaand Douze Points Go Toooooooo......

PORTUGAL!

Okay, I don't remember if Portugal ever won Eurovision, but someone from Portugal has just won my giveaway :) 

  

The winner is Akuma Kanji, who is a nail art blogger as well, check her blog if you haven't done so yet! For me it's a joy that she has won, because she's one of my very first followers and most frequent commentators. So I do believe it's destiny :) 
I've just sent her an email and hope to hear back soon.


Thank you all for entering! 


As you know, that's my first giveaway experience, and I should say it was fun indeed :) :) If I could afford it, I'd host giveaways every week or so :) 
This giveaway was to celebrate 50 followers, but now seems that I'll have to do another to celebrate 100! I'm so glad and pleased that my blog is growing, really, and I thank all my readers who give me inspiration and drive for new posts! 

As Simple As That

Nothing intricate today, just accent fingers stamping. That's one of my few dark polishes cuz I'm generally not very fond of them, preferring light ones: pinks (hello, Ivana ;))), lilacs, nudes and lighter shades of red. Anyway, yesterday was way too gloomy, and I decided to turn to blues. See the result: 

The polish is Essence Buddy Bear from LE I Love Berlin, and, attention, it's 1 (!) coat! Lovely dusty dark blue colour, which was so easy to apply.

Little reminder: 2 days left to enter MY GIVEAWAY!

V-day is still here!

My Valentine's day was a catastrophe. Like honestly. BUT I'm an eternal optimist (should I buy that Essie polish?) and I'm not gonna take it close to my heart. Instead, I always search for positive aspects. Catastrophe led to some honest and direct conversations which hopefully will make life easier for us both. Anyway, enough blabla, here's my mani:

And here's Essie Van D'Go pure:

V-Mani

Not very inventive, I know, but still looks nice. What do you think?

I hope that at least looking at my mani my precious bf will remember about Valentine's day hehe =)

Some news: I was speaking about the changes. The first and major one is that from now on my blog is going to be in English :) I hope you don't mind.

So be prepared for long English spam posts hehe =) 

Nubar Vaso

Ich hab mich in diesen Nagellack verliebt, als ich ihn auf irgendwelchen Swatches gesehen habe. Jetzt ist er mein :) Die Textur und die Farbe sind beide wunderschön, die Liebe ist aber vorbei: schon nach 2-3 Stunden hatte ich Tipwear..

50!

Fünfzig Verfolger..!!! Woah! Ganz große Nummer für mich.

Vielen Dank an alle, die mein Blog bisher gelesen haben, und die mich mit ihren Kommentaren inspiriert und unterstützt haben! Mädels, ihr seid echt toll!

Zeit für ein kleines Gewinnspiel, oder..? ;)

P.S. Ich habe auch eine große Änderung (zwei, eigentlich) in meinem Blog vor, aber es stimmt jetzt nicht, ich überlege noch. Mal sehen :)

Franken Geschmückt

Hier zeige ich Sally Hansen Hot Magenta und Victoria Shu №16 gesponget über meinen ersten Frankenlack mit dem Namen 5 Hours Pink. 

Franken №1: 5 Hours Pink

Yeeha Leute, ich hab meinen ersten Frankenlack gemischt :) Auch den Namen hab ich ihm gegeben: "5 Hours Pink", weil.......weil sein Leben nur 5 Stunden dauerte :( Danach ist die Flasche irgendwie in meinen Händen zersprungen, vielleicht hab ich sie zu viel geschüttelt. Also, R.I.P.

Eigentlich ist die Farbe absolut nix besonders, triviales Schimmerrosa.

Zutaten: Sally Hansen Petite Pink

             Sally Hansen Hypnotic Pink

             Sally Hansen Glow

             Sally Hansen Hot Magenta

             Depend 34 

             Lady Rose Unbekannt (lila) 

Ich habe diese Lacke gemischt, weil sie alle uralt waren und in jeder Flasche nur ein Paar Tropfen blieben. Rausschmeißen wollte ich sie nicht, deswegen hab ich versucht was kreatives zu mischen. Kein großer Erfolg, aber ich habe mein ganzes Leben vor =)

Also, schaut mal:
