NOTD & KOTD: Breaking into golden pieces

Here is a NOTD with Avon's Green with envy(USA name: Olive green).. It's a dark, creamy green (I have 2 coats on) and I really like the color.

After that I used Flormar Nailart NA09 to stamp this design with M73.

What do you think??

I won - Update :)

Niki* from Polish on Digital Paper announced me that I won 2 Eyeko Polishes at her giveaway.

Thank you very much and I can't wait to try them (this will be my first Eyeko polishes)!!

It seems like a lucky weekend. I really wanted China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection, so today when I read my emails I couldn't believe it.

Check out her blog, she has a lot of great designs!
Thanks you very much and I can't wait to try them all!!! (they will also be my first China Glaze polishes)

Konad Haul & KOTD & NOTD :)

Hey everyone!

Today I officially graduated and I can say I am a M.D. :)

For this reason, I went and bought 2 image plates I wanted for some time.. 

So here is a KOTD with my new plates:

 Nail polishes used: Flormar Supermatte M111 & Konad special polish White.

Image plate: M73

This is how Flormar Supermatte M111 looks like without a design (this is one of the polishes my friend brought me from Turkey and I just love it - one coat is enough and the color is amazing!)

I got tagged!

NOTD: S-he Stylezone 466

Here are some pictures with one of the polishes I bought from DM. It's a dark green - gray (I can't describe it otherwise) with a golden shimmer.

It has a very good coverage (one coat is enough, but I have two coats on). I had it for 5 days and it was still good :) I really like the color and if I find it again I will buy an extra bottle :)

My prize :)

As I said before, last week I received the prize I won from Stephanie. Go check out here Blog 'cause she has some very nice NOTD. :) Thanks again, Stephanie!!

Here are some pictures:

A quick update :)

Hello.

I know I haven't been around lately, but I have a good reason.

In 2 days I have my license exam and next week I have to present my final paper.
I have been studying 12 hours a day for the last week and I didn't have time to do my nails.

I have received the plates from Stephanie on Thursday and I want to thank her very much!!! They are great. I will post some pictures after my exam.

I also bought some nail polish from S-he (and I tried one already) and also a good friend of mine came back from Turkey and brought me 12 new polishes (yey!!!) but I haven't tried them yet.

I have some tags and awards to respond to, but I will leave them for next week :)

Wish me luck,
Have a great week,

Alexa

Half moon manicure

Today I tried something new... Half Moon Manicure...

I really like the result..

My inspiration:

The result:

1. Done with Claire's Matt Black

2. With top coat

This is not perfect, I didn't have a white opaque polish, so I used Peggy Sage - Crocus (3 coats). I will definitely do it again.

Review OPI - Sand in my suit

I am sorry but I don't have time to translate this review...

In primul rand as vrea sa ii multumesc Cameliei pentru organizarea giveaway-ului :)

Imediat cum am primit oja, nu m-am putut abtine sa nu o incerc.

Cateva cuvinte despre produs:

Sand in my Suit face parte din colectia South Beach Collection, lansata de OPI in primavara/vara 2009. Din descrierea oficiala a produsului: Sand in my suit este o oja de culoare nude care promite ca se intinde mai repede, uniform si ofera o aplicare fina, fara dungi.

Parerea mea:
Caut de mult o oja nude care sa fie destul de opaca si care sa mi se potriveasca (am pielea destul de inchisa la culoare si nu mi se potriveste orice nuanta deschisa) si pot spune acum ca am gasit-o.

La o prima aplicare, am fost putin dezamagita. Oja se intinde cu dungi, nu este suficient de opaca pentru gustul meu. S-a uscat repede si nu a trebuit sa curat deloc in jurul unghiilor.



Dupa ce am aplicat al doilea strat, mi-am mai revenit. Nu se mai vad dungile, oja este opaca asa cum imi doream. Si acum s-a uscat relative repede (cateva min), un mare plus pentru ca de obicei nu am rabdare sa stau prea mult sa astept dupa oja. Mentionez ca nu am avut ce sa curat in jurul unghiilor, aplicarea este perfecta.



Este o culoare care imi place, are un fin “sclipici” argintiu, care sincer cred ca scoate nuanta din monotonia unei oje nude simpla. Se poate purta cu success la birou, facultate, scoala etc.


Iata si cateva modele care au ca baza Sand in my suit. Oja cu care am stampilat modelul este Flormar nr. 413, pe care o puteti vedea aici. Mi se pare ca seamana foarte mult cu OPI – You don’t know Jacques sau cu Chanel – 505 Particulière.
