Barielle Swatch Spam!

Hello lovelies,

I have some Barielle swatches that haven't been published yet; I thought you might like to see them...

Blue Cotton Candy - seafoam blue green with silver particles. This is a very unusual shade which has something attractive to it. The formula was just excellent. It applied easily and this is just ONE coat! It dries fast and I have also applied a topcoat to get completely smooth finish.

Life Of The Party - medium pink creme with red undertones. This is a pretty but not one-of-a-kind colour. It had good formula though. The application was easy and two coats were enough for full coverage. It also dried very fast and glossy.

Cherry Blossom Sparkler - pink glitter in a rose pink jelly. I've applied one coat over Life Of The Party. There's enough glitter in the bottle so one coat gives you nice coverage. it applied well but dried a little gritty.

Lilac Jelly Bean - mauve/lilac grey creme. I find this to be very elegant and office friendly colour. It has great formula that applies well and is almost one coater. if you have short nails you could probably get away with one coat but I needed two for perfect finish. The formula was slightly thicker so use thick coats to avoid patching. It dried fast & glossy.

Purple Hearts - blue, purple and holographic glitter in a clear base. It's a pretty glitter topper that I've applied over Lime Crime Parfait Day.It applied well and I liked the amount of glitter. It is not however for wearing alone but for layering.

Stardust - opalescent glitter in a clear base. This little beauty can be applied over any colour to give it a gorgeous opalescent spark. I've layered it over Lime Crime Pastelchio which created quite unique and in real life beautiful combination. It applied well but dried gritty so topcoat is a must.

Pink Diamond - pink glitter in a clear base. There's not much to say about this glitter topper, it's quite simple one-size glitter in a clear base. I've done a gradient over Lime Crime Peaches ♥ Cream.

So there you go, Barielle swatches that were just waiting to be published :) Which one would you wear?

OPI Euro Centrale Collection - Review and swatches

Hello lovelies,

Late but still - I've got swatches of OPI Euro Centrale Collection. The colours are gorgeous as always and there's many different finishes. I was really looking forward to this collection and especially to all the 'Czech Republic' shades :)

From press release: Classic meets contemporary with Euro Centrale by OPI for Spring/Summer 2013. Celebrating a region where history meets modern design, the collection’s twelve new nail lacquers offer a mixture of glamorous metallic hues; playful bright shades in periwinkle, aqua and pink; and creamy blues in indigo, midnight and aubergine.

"Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania make up an exciting new fashion hotspot,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “When visiting these countries, you’ll view Gothic churches alongside vibrant graffiti murals, blending two very different aesthetics. This fusion of old and new was also seen in runway looks during New York Fashion Week, where classic styles were reinvented with modern silhouettes and patterns.

Fishtail braid nail art manicure with a tutorial!

Hello lovelies!

What a response to yesterday's swatch of Models Own lilac Dream! I would think that it'll be just another ordinary colour but you loved it! Well that's good because I have here a bit of nail art with this colour and also a tutorial of how to create it! I'm not sure whether the 'Fishtail' is the correct name.. what do you think? If this nail art is called differently then let me know and I'll change it. I'm a bit clueless right now :)

Sooo....for this manicure I've used one coat of Models Own Lilac Dream as a base colour, China Glaze Aquadelic and A England Excalibur for the accent nail.
