This will be a quick post.Just to say Thank you for being here next to me.It's so nice to know there are more freaks like me outside and they enjoy and adore nail polish things as much as I do.Keep polishing and love your colors,lovelies....

This beauty I have for you today is Perfect S 116 - stunning bright red jelly full of tons of black matte glitter particles.It's the perfect Christmas polish for the cozy warm and pleasant Christmas days with my family.And to feel a child again and to please my little princess I've add some cheer Christmas nail art stickers.

Meet Zornitsa with SNB Professional !!!!

Hello,my lovelies….

Few days before Christmas I want to share a piece of gorgeousness with you.The most exiting part is that the little treasure has been made here in Bulgaria.If this doesn’t make me feel proud I really don’t know what will…

Let me introduce you to Zornitsa.

While ago I’ve had the pleasure to visit SNB’s office here in Sofia and to meet Zornitsa…Well,to say it right,to meet both Zornitsas…Ha-ha,don’t look so amazed – they are really two and I’ve had the chance to take one of them home with me.As you can see I’ve took the one in the lovely shaped bottle.Zornitsa – the PR manager of Star Nails Bulgaria gave me just a smile when I’ve asked her if the polish is named on her.For the hour we’ve spent together Zornitsa has showed me tons of interesting products and told me extremely interesting facts about them and about the brand itself.Star Nails Bulgaria is the only cosmetic brand that gives Bulgarian native male and female names to its polishes.That’s so impressive!!And just because I can’t keep my mouth shut – you,my lovelies,soon will be able to see Maria/yes,there is Maria polish yayyy/,Petar and Kamen on your Red Frog’s nails.

I also was really impressed of the hand skin care products – I should definitely give more care to my cuticles and now I know what products I would love to try.Thinking about all the amazing scents and textures I’ve tried on my hands and nails makes me scream for more.The idea about softening cuticle therapy is something from the ‘must-have-to-do-it’ list for the upcoming year.

Taking a look back I can only be sorry my camera wasn’t there with me.But I hope there will be a next time…

Now let’s meet Zornitsa – the Polish.

 Zornitsa has been released few months ago and it’s one of the newest products of SNB brand.It’s a bottle full of stars and don’t make the mistake to think it’s just a gorgeous glitter top coat.No.This polish is unbelievably buildable in just two flawless coats.Just don’t forget to put some base before.The mix of golden glitter particles in various sizes turns my nails into little treasures.This baby makes me want ten nails more just to be able to enjoy it more and more.It’s a real pleasure to work with Zornitsa – comfortable wide brush,delightful application,pretty good drying time and best of all – the final bling.Oh,the bling is something you should see in person,my lovelies.Believe me,photos can’t give the right impression…

I’ve had no doubt what color will compliment Zornitsa in the best possible way.The mutted burgundy red of the Mulled Wine by Alexandra gives the depth I've wanted to see on my nails.As you can see Zornitsa can easily be used to create any kind of decoration - for the abstract wave design here I've used only a Big drop of the polish and a tooth pick.

 This mani gives me such a festive feeling...Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do,my lovelies.

A Malachite Treasure with BornPrettyStore and Manhattan !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...

Not so long ago I've received a very special package from Luchessa - the gorgeous lady behind Beauty Expression by Luchessa.I was so exited because this package was my prize for entering Luchessa's nail art contest dedicated to Manhattan's 50th anniversary.And what do you think was in there?Two amazing Manhattan polishes from their last limited edition collecton specially made for the ocassion - Birthday Colors,along with a super cute surprize from Luchessa - some lovely butterfly nail stickers/coming soon on the blog/.Today I'll show you the first one of the polishes - Happy Anniversary - deep forest green with strong blue undertone,filled with tons of golden particles and black hex glitters.It's one of the most magnificient polishes in my collection.I'm really sad because the photos can't get even close to showing its beauty.It's like my nails are made of malachite.

 To compliment the color I've decided to add some more costliness here.And what's better than gold?More gold.The round flat back studs I've got from BornPrettyStore were the perfect mate for my gorgeous Manhattan.They are extremely easy way to add some extra ritz and glitz to your mani.Made from acrylic UV gel these studs are super easy to be placed on the nails with just a drop of top coat instead of using any kind of nail glue.I've just put some top coat and wore them about 4 or 5 days.There was no missing stud when I've decided to change my polish.

 Now let's see my Malachite Treasure -

Happy Christmas Cookies with Golden Rose !!!!

Hello,my lovelies....

Please excuse the quality of the photos.These days are really foggy and there's really no good sun light around.Too sad for my camera or too sad for me....I hope you can look beyond this blurriness and enjoy my happy Christmas cookies.

When I start mixing my acrylics I've found my brown was gone for good.And when you paint your nails around midnight your decisions are not as clear and reasonable as they should be.I thought it would be ok if I mix one of my reds with some black and lots of white.Sounds reasonable?Well,the color looked nice at first but when I saw it at the morning I've realised my recipe was wrong at all levels.Really sad for the cookies's dough.As you can see my cookies became kind of burned out...But the glaze is really glossy and looks even delicious...maybe.

 So,when you start preparing to make your Christmas cookies be sure you have all the right ingredients - the result would be more delightful believe me.
For my cookies - 

Golden rose Jolly jewels 121

Golden rose Expert color 56

acrylic paint and fine brush

Hello,lovelies....

It's cold.It's rainy.It's just awful.I hate the weather outside.Maybe I'm not a winter type of person.I need the sun.Desperately need it.Just let me bring some warmth and sunlight in this cold December night.The mani is from the last days of the summer and it's a typical mix of my favorite colors and my favorite roses.

So the next post from the 'draft box' series is here.

Draft Series:Skulls on my Blue-Jeaned by Essence !!!!

Hello,my lovelies....

Yes,we all already know what a self-distructive blogger I am.Me - sorry.You,lovelies - don't worry.I promise to be a good blogging girl and to keep you informed about what was,what is and what will be going on with and round my nails.

Let's go straight to do 'drafts series'.Hope you remember what I've told you few weeks ago - there are huge number of draft posts in my box and that's a shame.I'm still trying to keep on shedule with them but to be honest the past few days I just didn't want to do anything even close to posting.For times like this I wish I've had a fairy God mother to do all the things I don't want to...But there're no God mothers around - fairy or not.

Essence Effect Nail Polish 07 Blue-jeaned - really pretty blue with lots of silver shimmer and nice fine sand finish.It's not that as rough as most of the sand finish polishes.It's more like frosted.Essence team really knows how to please our spoiled polish addicted minds.

I've used Gabrini Multivitamin N16 to complete my Essence Blue-jeaned.N16 is a really gorgeous deep blue-ish grey with stunning glossy finish even without top coat.For the accent finger I've played a bit with some acrylics and a piece of golden transfer foil.Pretty satisfying result.

Enjoy your day and shine!

All yours,

Red Frog
