A grey holo?

Sally Hansen - Hard as Nails - Xtreme wear - 25 Night Lights

It may be not a grey holo, but it looks like one in artificial light, i guess.

In daylight too, but it was difficult to catch it on camera.

In general, very nice polish.

However, it's a bit difficult to remove, cause it contains glitter.

What's more, you need to apply 3-4 coats to achieve the effect in the photos.

But it dries fast, so it's not a problem.



Mixing again.

It was quite a difficult week for me..

I've been sick since Monday..

and I had a lot of work to do ;/

As some of you know, I'm an English lecturer,

so.. can you imagine speaking for a few hours with a sore throat, headache etc.?

 I hope I will have recovered untill the the end of the week! otherwise, it'll be a disaster!

What is more,

I'm really angry because I neglected writing my MA thesis..

due to the illness, of course!

This is the mani, I did last week.

I used:

Sally Hansen - Hard as Nails - Xtreme Wear - Black Out

- Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup - Gold Chrome

- Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup - Turquise

- Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup - Carnelian Chrome

Marine Scene

Today I want to show you an absolutely gorgeous blue :)

It needs about three coats, but I think the final effect is worth applying so many coats.

The quality is very good, it lasts quite long.

There were no problems with application.

The only disadvantage is the length of a drying process...

I wish it got dry a bit faster.

I fell in love with manicures like this :)

I have to admit that they make an impression on many of my friends.

They do not last very long due to their 'thickness'

- about 2-3 days in a good condition

Nevertheless, I think they are worth doing.

I used:

Vollare - Sexi Flexi - 406

Sally Hansen - Hard as Wraps - Magenta Creme

Essence - Colour & Go - Lime up!

Merry X-Mas!

Gem Charm

Sally Hansen - Hard as Nails - Xtreme Wear - Gem Charm

In reality this colour is much darker, more bloody i would say :)

and as its name indicates

more charming :)

There are only two coats in the photo, maybe i should have applied more of them to take more accurate pictures..

I think it is suitable for Christmas :)

I really like it and I feel great wearing it :)

 

Myth

That's one of my favourites.

Sally Hansen - Advanced Hard as Nails - Myth

Unfortunately, two of my nails got broken in a very bad way ;(

I'm very upset about that.

So, the next time I will show you something on short nails...

I hope they will grow fast.. cause i don't like them.

Winter

The winter has come to Poland :)

There's a lot of snow!

Temperatures are really low!!

It has both advantages and disadvantages..

everything looks very pretty :)

but..

it's really hard to walk and drive a car..

I used:

- Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup - Chrome Crystal

I just think i could have done much better...

Variations

Finally, i decided to try out my BM plates!

Probably, I gilded the lily..

..but it was fun...

I can see no difference between using BM plates and Konad plates.

However, I have to admit that BM plates are really sharp!

I didn't hurt myself.. but i think it was olny thanks to the fact that i knew i have to be careful..

..because i read a few reviews saying they are sharp before ordering them.

Nevertheles, i love these plates!

November 11th inspired mani

November 11th is National Independence Day in Poland.

It is celebrated to commemorate the anniversary of Poland's assumption of independent statehood in 1918 after 123 years of partitions by Austria-Hungary, Prussia, and Russia.

(Poland wasn’t on maps for 123 years!)

It was also official end of World War I.

We don’t work on that day J

I’m not a big patriot, but I respect the history of Poland.

It’s very beautiful and sad…
