NOTD & KOTD: Valentine's Day nails

Hello everybody!

Here is my Valentine's Day manicure idea:

For this manicure, I used Orly - Crawford's Wine, which I won from Holly from Holly and Polish (Thanks Holly!), along with another Orly polish and an Orly nail treatment.

Now, let me show you the swatches:

After applying the polish, I added a design from Bundle Monster image plate BM02, using Essence Stampy polish - White.

What will you wear on your nails on Valentine's Day?

NOTD & KOTD: Silver flowers on Concrete Catwalk

Hello everybody!

I have so many swatches photographed and I want to start showing you some of them!

Today, I want to show you China Glaze - Concrete Catwalk. It's a beautiful dark grey creme, which is almost perfect in one coat (I applied two). It's one of the nicest grey polishes I have ever owned and used.

I bought this polish from BeautyInTheBottle and if you like it, you can buy it cheaper this week! (Check their Facebook page!)

Then I stamped a design using Essence Stampy polish - Silver and image plate BM 221.

What do you think? 
Do you like Concrete catwalk? 
Do you like wearing greys?

Please don't forget about my 350 followers giveaway!

Thanks!

NOTD & KOTD: It's hot & Bornprettystore.com review

Hello everybody!

Because today the weather in Bucharest was extremely hot for this time of year, I decided to show you a bright red color to go along with this weather.

But before, I want to share my opinion on image plate M65 which I received for review from Bornprettystore.com. 

 

The image plate was covered with a blue plastic foil which I removed before I started stamping. 

(The image plate looks dirty, but actually that is from my acetone...)

Again, I didn't use a special stamping polish when I tried it, because I wanted you to see how it works with a normal polish.

I stamped with Flormar 413. 

As you can see the designs are great, they stamp really well (even with a non-stamping polish).

The patterns are large enough to fit to my thumb nail.

You can find this image plate here, along with many other image plates.

If you want, you can use my coupon code ALEXAK31 (valid until October 31st) and get a 10% discount!

Now, let me show you p2 - It's Hot!

Two coats in the pictures. All pictures are click-able!

Because I liked the roses pattern from image plate M65, I used Essence stampy polish in black to stamp it on my nails. 

And here is an picture of my right hand (which it's pretty hard to photograph!).

What do you think?

Do you like roses?

I would really love to read your comments!

NOTD & KOTD: Street Chic and a comparison

Hello!

Today I want to show you the 2nd polish from China Glaze's Metro collection I have bought. 

For my Romanian readers - you can buy this nail polishes from BeautyInTheBottle.
 

Street chic is a warm beige taupe creme.

The formula was great. I applied two coats.

Because I thought that it looked a lot like China Glaze Ingrid and China Glaze Below Deck  I took a pictures with those two.

As you can see, they don't look alike.

I also added a design from Image plate BM 224 using Essence Black stampy polish.
