Back in December (great blogger I am, I know *sigh*) I got a parcel that was both a giveaway win and a surprise pack at the same time. One of the nail bloggers that I follow for a long time, Tatiana, decided to organise a spontaneous giveaway and just award two followers who comment the most. I happened to be one of the lucky girls, and some weeks later I received a pack - and I had no idea about its content! :)
See, Tatiana lives in Belarus, and she decided to send a full box of local Belarusian goodies! I mean, how amazing is the concept of showing other bloggers the best of the local products!! Here I totally bow down to her idea :)
In the parcel I got 2 face masks: Belita algae-based, and BelKosmex moisturising with hyaluronic acid and vitamins; a cuticle eraser (a soft cuticle remover) and a nail polish from the brand Viteks (orig. Вiтекс).
I have to say that I totally loved the face masks and the cuticle treatment, and - who would doubt - I adore the nail polish! The only Belarusian creation in my stash and quite a bright shade - Viteks Passion Dance (orig. Biтекс Танец Страсти) has gained my sympathy from the first stroke!
Viteks Passion Dance is a cold-hued red/crimson semi-jelly meaning that it's more liquid than creme and way more glossy. Application did not cause any problems: 2 coats and a great thin brush attached. I did have a feeling that it dries longer than expected, but I was in a hurry anyways and could have an inadequate perception of time. Top coat application eliminated that concern :)
I liked the bright crimson shade a lot, and I had nothing similar in my stash as I normally grab darker red tones. Amazingly, this one suited me well, and it also works great for pedicure! :)
Oh, how I love surprise packs!! :) One more time I'd like to thank Tatiana - check her nice blog by the way! - for sending me all these wonderful things!
Yay for nail polish international community! :D

Thank you so much, Cristina! :) Only recently I started to look at brighter red shades and bought Vodka&Caviar. But I like this Belarusian polish more simply because OPI has that catastrophic brush! ^^
LöschenКрасивый красный! А ты маски пробовала? Эту альгинантную я обожаю просто, жаль, у нас ее не найти в принципе, мне присылали тоже.
AntwortenLöschenУ нас их теперь тоже не найти, сняли с производства. Теперь другие выпускают - полная ерунда(((
LöschenА как же, конечно пробовала :) Мне тоже очень понравились, обе причем :) Красный - просто восторг, текстура особенно :)
LöschenТаня, очень жаль, что сняли, они классные!!!! В Питере есть несколько магазинов белорусской косметики, но я там ни лаков Витекс, ни масок не видела..(
