My Xmas tree and another Xmas Water decals Mani

Last night I decorated the Xmas tree.. Here's the result:

With flash:

How did you decorate your Xmas tree?

I also did a Christmas Manicure for my friend, using water decals:

What do you think?

NOTD: Snowman & Istanbul

Hello!

Here is a manicure I did for a party this weekend:

I used OPI - Suzy says Feng Shui (2 coats) and then I applied some Konad Special White polish using the sponge method.

After the nail polish was perfectly dry, I applied a water decal I bought from Ebay a few weeks ago:

 After that I applied 2 more designs on my thumb :)

In the end I added some Essence glitter top coat (only on the fingers without water decals)

I must say I love the result. The water decals were very easy to apply. I will do another manicure with them tomorrow.

Do you like it?

If you wondered why I haven't posted anything in the last 2 days.. here is the answer: I've been to Istanbul for a few days. 

Here are some photos:

I love this city and I will go back as many times as I can!

Have you been to Istanbul?

NOTD & KOTD: Let it snow!

Today it snowed in Bucharest, so I thought that this will be a good moment to show you my snowflake manicure. 

I used p2 polish - Charismatic (2 coats) and image plate BM 14 with Special White polish from Konad.

This is a great shade of red and it's perfect for Christmas.

Here is what I got:

 

So, what do you think?

NOTD: Underwater

Here is another polish from Essence - Color & Go collection: Underwater.

As you might have noticed, I kinda love blues & greens :)

This one has some blue shimmer (you can't even notice it in the pictures) and I like it very much.

This week I will post a new page, with my nail polish collection and links to swatches :)

What do you think?

NOTD & KOTD: Scandal

No, no, I don't want to argue. It's just the name of another p2 polish: Scandal.

It's a dark red with some glitter (or at least looks like it)

Here are the pictures:

I added a design using image plate  BM21 and Flormar NA09:

Do you like it?

P.S: Do you like the new look of the blog? Is it ok?

Picture of the day:

Something beautiful in this gray city :)

NOTD & KOTD: Spicy

Here is another nail polish from Essence Multi Dimension collection. It is called Spicy and is a nice brown - chocolate color (2 coats in the pictures)

This picture is taken under a lamp, with flash.

Flash only:

Then I added a design from BM 05 using Flormar NA09.

Do you like it? Do you like brown nail polishes? 

Would you like to see a comparison between multiple shades of brown?

NOTD & KOTD: Splendid blue and Bundle Monster

My boyfriend made me a great surprise on my birthday and bought me the Bundle Monster set. I must say I love the designs and I already tried a few of them.

And now for my current manicure: 

 I used Avon - Splendid blue (2 coats) - a very nice blue color with blue shimmer.

With flash:

No flash:

 

Then I stamped a design from BM20 using Flormar 112:

I love the result! I think it's suited for the holidays (even if it's blue not red). I love how Flormar #112 looks stamped (I was searching for a good silver polish for stamping)

What do you think?

P.S: What do you think about the new template? Is it too much?

Giveaways I have won recently

Here are the prizes I have won lately:

I won this from Ioana from "Depozitul de Frumusete" (an online Romanian store)

I received this pair of earrings from Camelia:

And here is a detail of one of the earrings. I love the color!

 From Marie from Moi coin a moua I received this package:

 I can't wait to try the fake lashes and Nailene nails (I have never tried fake lashes before :D). I love the nail files, I have been using them since I received the package, they are very good and I can say now I have almost the nail shape I wish I had :) Also the Manhattan nail polish is great for the holidays :)

 Jenny from Polishology sent me my first Ulta ans L.A Colors nail polishes. As you can see, i have already swatched them. The colors are great and are suited for holiday :) {this package arrived exactly on my birthday, so it was like a birthday present :D)

 

Thank you so much girls!

KOTD: Black french & white flowers

For this design I used Image plate M19 with black polish and afterward I stamped a flower design from image plate B43 using special white polish from Konad.
