Replay with Pink Fizz Instant Nail Effect

Instant Nail Effect aka Crackle time. :D So many different names of same pattern, kind of confusing. :) My inspirations was those vintage roses, which I wanted to create but I wasn't in the mood for nail art. I wanted to try Studio M polish which mostly of you have suggested but the weather wasn't beautiful so I spare it for another sunny day. :)

Pink Fizz Instant Nail Effect from Barry M is another pink crackle, dries matte, its crackles can be really bigger if you apply really thick coat like I did on my right hand but it's not fotogenic as my left hand. :D I'll definitely show you that once, because I think it's the prettiest crackle I've at the moment.

I won't talk much... Here're the pictures...

I'm loving it so much so I decided to make a close up. :D As you can see it's matte, over a shiny polish looks kind of plastic finish too and like I draw it. :D

Houston We Have a Purple with Prancer Mattified

Hiya! :) 

I'm still wearing and enjoying my Funky French Skittles so I'll have to show you something else. I showed you Houston We Have a Purple few days ago but I decided to upgrade it somehow. :i I's seeing mattified glitter all around so I wanted to try it out and that's why I'm posting matte first although I wanted to show you shiny version first. :D

I added 1 coat of Wet'n'Wild Prancer (red hexagonal and small glitter in a clear base)  and 1 coat of Essie - Matte About You.

Weak sun

Mattified glitter looks sooooo amazing! And flakies too but I need to try that one day too (probably when I get my hands on some Nfu.OH flakies). :i

That's all for today, I'm sooo sleepy so I'm going to take a nap for an hour or two. :)

Xoxo,

OPI - We'll Always Have Paris Suede

I prepared something else for today but since I fell in love with this polish today (again :$ ) I decided to show you this manicure first.

We'll Always Have Paris Suede was my first OPI which I bought for myself. My first bottle is thick, I still didn't add thinner like I was planning. :$ I'll probably use it for stamping, because I got a new bottle from Carolina in our latest swap. I was so happy! :h

I didn't know what to pick next for my manicure but when I saw Zoya Harlow at Joise's Nails I decided to pick a matte too, but since I don't own Harlow yet, I picked this Suede beauty. :L It's a shimmery rose color with really amazing shimmer.

You probably know that Suedes start chipping quite fast even if you don't do anything with your hands. It helps a lot  if you make a "sandwich" with BC (I'm using Essie - Fill the Gap at the moment). So, I did 1 coat of BC, WAHPS, BC and again one coat of WAHPS. And it works! I added just 2 coats on my thumb and it already chipped, all my other nails are still perfect. :e
I made so many pictures, because it was a perfect sunny day. :) I wish I added a TC too but I just enjoy wearing suede finish. And it feels so soft when you touch it. :$

This is definetely my favorite OPI I have! :L Application is maybe a little tricky like with all mattes/suede. It dries extremely fast so you have to work fast too but nothing that we can't handle. :D

I would also like to thank you to all my 458 followers. :party Do you remember how I wanted just one more to get 400 and now I have almost 460. :o THANK YOU! When I saw #441 I wanted to reach #444 and I did too! :D Hope you won't stop following me when my tiny miny giveaway ends. :D If you haven't entered yet and you would love to, there is just one day left - enter here.

Today is also an International woman's day and here is one little flower for all of you! :k :h :k

Nighty night,

Zoya - Savita

Yesterday I went to cinema to watch Saw 7 3D - Movie is so awesome! If you love Saw, you have to see the last part! I ate big size of popcorn and I was so sad when the movie finished. I'm wondering how crazy you must be to come up with scenario like this. And the 3D effect is so funny - blood all over, pieces of... You must have a strong stomach to watch it, but it's worth!

Like I said I put Zoya - Savita on my nails yesterday. That's the first Zoya I've ever tried. thank you colorful bottle to sending me this one to try out.

It's a deep bluish purple matte nail polish. Application was so difficult, I don't remember having so many problems with any polish I have, even with Suede from OPI. It dries so fast, so you have to be really fast with applying it and that's the problem, because the application can quickly become uneven and horrible. I add 2 coats.

Here is my try, not perfect at all.

This blurple is so stunning, I wish the application wasn't so difficult or maybe I just need more practice with applying matte polishes.

Later I add a TC, I still have to upload pictures from my phone, so I'll show you them next time!

Happy Sunday!

Nubar - Petunia Sparkle

Glitters, glitters, my love!

With MAAH I discovered my love to glitters and since I've seen Petunia Sparkle here at Polish Drop (I love this blog, you should check it too!) I knew I had to have it! And Tinna from Tinna's nails ordered one also for me!!! Thank you sweety, again! Check also her Petunia sparkle and her beautiful nails! I just got it so I immediately put it on my short nails!

Petunia Sparkle is a pink glitter nail polish. I add 3 coats without TC, surface is rough but it doesn't bother me, maybe I'll add TC later. This one would look great also with 2 thick coats, but I add 3 thin! It's not difficult to apply it - you just have to make sure you have enough polish on your brush or you'll wipe off the glitter with a dry brush. It dries very fast, finish is kind of matte.

So, let's start with a lot of the same pictures, O.K.? Unfortunately there was no sun outside, so I took pictures on a cloudy day. It was so hard to capture real color of this beauty and sparkling effect doesn't show off at all!

With flash I tried to capture sparkling effect, but no luck I guess.

It sparkles so much in RL! Stunning! I can't tell you how much I love it! This is my first Nubar and I'm so happy that I have a chance to try it. Take a look of the botlle:

It contains 15ml of nail polish and it's Formaldehyde, Phthlate and Toluene FREE - first I didn't read carefully and I thought that has these in!

Imagine effect shown on the picture below × 100 and you'll get the effect that I can see with my eyes! Just the color on this picture is too purple!

Stunning!

I'm impressed with Nubar polishes, do you have same experience as me? Which one you think I should put on my WL?

Oh, I also add a What's next? column, just for reminder for myself what I have to try and also you can know what to expect next! Polishes aren't written down in sequential order, I will pick randomly from the list.

Happy Friday, girls!

China Glaze - Flying Dragon (Neon) with TC & Comparison

I want to take photos of this one tommorow but I managad to take them today, I just had to crop them and here are they. Because matte didn't convince me, I add 1 coat of Seche Vite. The result is stunning! It looks the same like it looks like through the bottle. Matte I like, but glossy version I love!

Here is a comparison, where can you see matte and glossy version. I put 2 pictures together to easily show you the difference.

Which one do you prefer more? I really love the second version more!

As I said, when I saw different swatches, this one doesn't look the same as others. So kind Elchy offer me to try her version of Flying dragon, so I will do a comparison in next days. Wooohoo! I bet there are two version of this polish or is there just one and it's really hard to capture a real color of it, what do you think?

China Glaze - Flying Dragon (Neon)

Today is so lazy day. I don't know what's happening but I don't have any energy. And weather is so bad - it's something between raining and cloudy! Boring, really boring!

Because of bad weather I decide to lacquer my nails, that always make me feel better. For today I pick China Glaze - Flying dragon (Neon). It a creme purple with a blue and pink glitter in it.

I add 3 coats, because it's a little streaky after 2 so I add another one to make it more perfect. It dries very fast and its finish is matte! Click on the picture to see blue and pink glitter better! On the bottle you can easily see glitter, really looks gorgeous through the bottle.

With flash

Is there another version of this polish? Because this one from Nihrida and this one from Elchy doesn't look like mine? Mine is really not so dark, I think I capture quite a real color.

One extra photo with lots of walnuts in background! Do you like walnuts?

Thank you for reading and wish you a nice beginning of this week!

China Glaze - Rich & Famous Matte & Comparison

On the request I add a Matte Topcoat on beautiful bright jelly pink Rich & Famous.

Let me show you a comparison with TC and with matt TC. TC I use is Seche Vite and matte TC is Essie - Matte about you.

On all nails

Tips are so much more visible on pictures as in real! What do you think? What finish do you prefer more? I really like both. At first I was sure I won't like matte, but I really love it! I think I'll matte more pinks in the future.

When I usually upload pictures, Blogger always made it worse and bad quality. So I find out what helps! If you save your image as .png and not .jpg quality of picture stays good and even if you resize the picture! Just the uploading time is longer, but I really think it's worth to wait.

Hope you all have a great Saturday!!
