Djeep Series vol.15 !!!!

Hello, lovelies....

It's been a while since the last post but the claws were dressed all those days I've been away. I just have to find my time to post here all the designs I've made lately....  

So, Djeep Series.

The inspiration came from one of my newest lighters and to be honest this baby takes place in my all time favorites. Let's see and hope you'll like it.

Hello, my lovelies....

*Red Frog's kid has a nice camera

Hello again! As you've probably noticed today's post has pretty good photos inside. I was really impressed after I've seen them on my screen. Where did they come from? Few months ago was my daughter's birthday and her one and only wish was to have her own water resistant camera. So, me and her dad gave our best to find the perfect one. And here we are - my own camera was out of power so I've borrowed the kid's one. Guess what? Now I want my own new camera for pics even better than these here.... 

*no old cameras were killed or injured before or after this post*

Hello, my lovelies....

In this cold early winter morning the only thing I need is a fluffy blanket and a hot cup of coffee in my hands. Well, a good book will be a great idea to make the whole picture complete. After all it's Saturday, right!? Just few words here and I'll try to turn this into reality.

So, about the claws outfit - mixed patterns, finishes and colors that look more appropriate for a Friday night. They just scream 'Party!' Who knows what Saturday night can bring?

Chevron tips with Golden Rose Rich Color !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

I'm super excited lately because I've got a new job!!! Yeyyyy! That's probably one of the greatest things happened lately. I'm really extremely excited these days so if you got me missing here please forgive me. The all new things around me along with all the pressure from the last week at my old working place just squeeze me guts out. But I'm happy. Happy and relieved. Now let's see what we have here. 

As most of you, my lovelies, I'm also a big fan of Golden Rose Rich Color line. They have a great variety of color shades and most of them are truly well pigmented so to make an even and smooth coverage. Well, probably there are few sheer shades among all the opaque ones but that's not the point. I'm talking about all the perfect colors Golden Rose offers in their Rich Color line. 

Today's mani is a simple but interesting blurple ombre with black sand accent to make the blurples stand out better. 

So, that's all for today. Hope you're feeling as good as I do. 
See you soon.

Used - 

Golden rose Rich Color 38 - light blurple almost lavander creme polish with buttery consistency for a perfect smooth results, on my point finger - 2 coats and top coat

Golden rose Rich Color 42 - in this polish there is stronger lavander feeling with gorgeous silver flakies that gives kind of a frosty look

Golden rose Rich Color 127 - foggy grey-ish blurple with stunning violet micro flakies

China glaze Bump in the Night - the best pure black with sand finish

Born Pretty Store Silver Leaves foil - my fail !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

I feel completely clumsy this time. You’ll ask Why? Well, I’ll start with a little intro.

Few days ago I’ve received some goodies from Born Pretty Store and of course I was truly elated to start playing with them. Of course I've wanted to start with these gorgeous silver leaves with some holographic sparkle around.

 http://www.bornprettystore.com/holographic-nail-foils-feather-leaves-foils-nail-transfer-sticker-paper-p-21772.html

This meant to be my first attempt with BPS’snail art foils and the thrill was inexpressible. I’ve searched about some tutorials around the web and all looked to be easy.... But it wasn't. 
At first I've thought it's just a foil, ok? Polish the nails, put the foil while the polish has not dry at full and press gently. Nothing. Try with a thin coat of top coat, wait a bit and press the foil again. Just a little part of the image transfers on to the nail surface. There is no feather nor a leaf on the claws - just an odd parts of them were transfered. Ugh. And worst of all - the pressing part - no matter how gentle I've tried to do it there were still smashed spots on my polish. You won't believe what an amount of top coat was used for this mani.....

I've felt like a real dumb. Please if anyone can give any good directions about how to create a good transfered image with that kind of foils please speak now. I want to see these gorgeous leaves and feather and some more on my claws. I will definitely give a second, third or even forth try to that kind of nail foils for sure. There are so amazing patterns on Born Pretty Store I want to try on.... Just have to learn how to deal with the foils.
So, about the foils - sorry, lovelies - it's my fail.

Draft Series: Blackened Blue !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's been a while since the last #DraftSeries post but seems like there are still a couple of them waiting to be published. I'll miss theses posts when they end. 

Today I'm showing you a mani I've made back in August 2014 - wow! it's been almost an year since then. Roses and thorns. Black and blue. Sand finish and acrylics. Subtle shimmer and subtle duochrome. Nails long. Shaped bad. I like it. Even now, a year later I still do. It's not one of my best creations but it's all me. Away from perfection. Edgy. With own dark moments.

It's me.

Draft Series:Printed Neon !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Another post from the DraftSeries is on its way to you.

Wow. When I look at those rounded nails of mine on these old photos I can only wonder why the heck I didn't make them sharp earlier .... Stiletto shape gives me the chance to keep the lenght without my nails to look so damn Big.And the neon shade here doesn't help a lot for that Big impression .... My rounded nail, stay where you are - in the past!

Draft Series:Black And White with China Glaze !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...

Last time I've showed you one of my favorite black polishes - China Glaze Bump in the night from the Monsters Ball Collection released for Halloween back in 2013.Today I was diggin around my draft box and what do you think I've found?My very first mani with my beloved BITN.Photos are a bit blurry but still good...at least I hope so.This mani was made early in March or April last year and as it can be seen from the photos this mani is from my round'n'round nail shape period.Seems so long ago....But back to the polish talking please - Bump in the night is one of the most pigmented and saturated blacks in my collection.And when this intensity is complemented with great coverage and textured finish it's just a perfection.Enjoy.

Nude to Be Black with China Glaze,Flormar and Isabella Dupont !!!!

Hello,my lovelies.....

Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite color combinations - black,nude and gold.No matter of all the new fashion trends black is black.There's no new black for me.Black is timeless,classic and suits perfect to all skin tones,all outfits,all nail shapes.And if you put some gold on it,well - you can do no wrong.

This mani came up very edgy and eye-catching.I really like how the different finishes look together.Probably someone will ask what are the metalic circles made of?Well,let me tell you,lovelies.I have a pair of jeans decorated with a bunch of these circles in three or four sizes.Sad or not I've found few of them on the floor at home and noticed they're not sealed very good to the fabric of my jeans....And when I've found how easy they can be curved to fit my nail's natural curve,the flash was there!These beauties were made to decorate my nails!!!

So here we are.Enjoy my Nude to be Black mani.

Used - 

Isabelle Dupont N53 - I've used it a lot in the past year,my bottle is almost empty and it's very sad because I'm not sure if I can find it again.This nude beauty is on one of the first places of my all time favorites list.Hope to find a replacement soon....

Flormar 313 Black Minimalism - love the name,just perfect for the black liquid inside the bottle

China Glaze Bump in the Night - the blackest black sand finish polish,adore it.

Draft Series:Red'N'Black with Perfect and China Glaze !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...

My weekend was a real pain in the as$ ... I don't even want to remember it...After all I think I've lost enough neural cells and it's time to say 'Enough.Don't want to see,smell,feel or think about anything even close to housewifery,plumbery or else household actions.Enough.'

Few minutes ago I've found my way out of it.As we all know my draft box is still full so here is the next 'from the drafts' post - it's the best time for a post,it's time for me and my polishes,it's time to run straight into my obsessive polish world.And if it's possible I think to stay here for the rest of the night.

What better way to run from reality?Here's full of beautiful colors and it's sparkling.And the best of all - I want to share it all with you,my lovelies.Hope your night is magical and peaceful.Enjoy it.
