Princess

Finally it's time to proudly demonstrate you one of my craziest lemmings ever - Revlon Princess. Two years after its launch date (and it was a LE! - called Edgy Elegance) I completely lost hope of ever finding it - if it was not for Caroline ;) Now I'm the happy owner!

It was love at half site, really. Being a blue foil texture lover, I have a couple of very similar polishes, but this one is an absolute princess - if you allow - among those! The dusty shade of blue makes me think of moonlight, or moon reflected in water, something like that.

Application was a fairytale, it's actually very opaque in 1 coat already, but I think I did 2 just for it to last longer. Of course, I didn't spoil it with any top coats.

Above are the close-ups. Don't know what's the thing between me and blue foils, but I get carried away looking at this one, really!

Working Couple

As some of you know already, I've been to Egypt and Jordan lately. Unfortunately not as a tourist : ( Instead of enjoying the African sun somewhere on the beach I was rushing around Cairo (oh my, what a city..) trying to put things together for quite a massive international conference I was attending there. Pure working stuff. That means what? Right, properly (= unnoticeably) polished nails. Here are two polishes which helped me with that: 

Left: Revlon Cotton Candy, sent by lovely Carolina

Right: Essence Welcome To Wonderland, LE Fairytale, bought from Dani's blogsale

Let's start from the first one, cuz this pretty pink thing is actually very controversial...Revlon Cotton Candy. It was on my nails twice (!) already, but I still don't understand if I like it or not. Neither nor.

Why I do? Because it's a gorgeous pink shade with subtle golden shimmer, it's a nice office-friendly colour which is not so boring by itself and it's scented - the only scented polish I have.
And why not? Because to get this nice colour you need at least 3 slowly drying coats and a lot of patience, and then a thick coat of TC to even everything out. But when your mani is ready you can enjoy the nice smell for some days : )

Second polish is a ivory light beige foil - Essence Welcome To Wonderland. It's also a 3 coater (2 is enough if you are ok with VNL), but the formula is much easier to handle and the layers dry fast. Pretty one and very boss-nerves-friendly : )

As I said, no pyramids for me.. Only from the window:

Soo hard to imagine that I was walking at Tahrir Square two weeks ago.. If by any chance I have Egyptian readers - you have all my support and compassion! Your country deserves a better future!
