African sand look with Catrice !!!!

Hello, my lovelies.... 

Catrice Fall 2013 L’Afrique C’est Chic Collection.

One of the few really interesting collections I've seen in the past few years. I really don't know why but we've found each other just now. Probably because the variety of shades and finishes is too big.... pretty sure that's not the real reason.... or just because I've been a bit negligent about what's new. So, three years after the official release the claws finally have the pleasure to wear two of the L’Afrique C’est Chic shades - So Classy and Sunny Side.

Better late than never.

Stars on the sand with OPI&Born Pretty Store !!!!

Hello, my lovelies…

After all the rain these days I wasn’t really sure what I need most last night – take a hot shower and go to bed or sit in front of my computer and chat with you a bit. Guess what? I've need my few minutes here on the blog. It’s a good way to refresh my mind and gives a good start of the day. If you see the picture outside you won’t believe it’s still August. The temperature is not even close to what it should be at this time of the year. Well, it’s true that’s a nice break after the real summer heat from the last couple of weeks but…. But! Come on, it’s August! Where is my hot crazy summer? Bring it back. Now.

I’m really upset. My vacation starts on 24^th of August and I  desperately need sunny hot weather next week. Please.

Now some nail related stuff please. My grumbling won’t end soon.

Well, because my vacation is very soon I thought why not to show you something playful and summery. Sad but true I won’t be able to see the seashore this summer. If I’m lucky enough there’s a chance to go to a pool once or twice. Ugh. But that doesn’t mean I won’t make summery designs on my nails. Oh, no! Let’s see my Stars on the sand.

Like it? Hope so.

Happy summer days, my lovelies!

Draft Series:Africa !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Seems like this is one of those Friday nights .... Just me, my bed, my soft warm blanket and the biggest cup of coffee I'd be able to drink without becoming an insomniac. Ugh. Sad story. Ok, the big black wet nose - my dog of course - is also here. Sorry, old girl, I didn't meant to ignore your presence. 

So why not to drink this huge cup of coffee with you, lovelies? Cheers and enjoy tonight's DraftSeries post - it's time for some warm colors in african style. I really loved how this mani turned out. Probably will give the design a second try just to see how it will look on my stilettos.

Coffee shades with SNB !!!!

Hello, my lovelies...

As most of the people on this planet I love drinking coffee - strong and black, no cream, no sugar. Black. Well, it I know can't be really black but you know what I'm talking about. It's about the specific deep seductive brown color only coffee has. And guess what - while  ago I've found it .... or He found me. I'm saying 'He' cause my coffee colored polish has a male name. We've found each other at Star Nails Bulgaria. Love at first sight, what else can I say? He is Petar - deep, smooth and strong like hot, black coffee /you can almost feel the taste in your mouth/. And  he's so handsome  I just couldn't resist the need to take him home with me ....

But that's not all. At all .... Then I've found something different, something mysterious and new .... I've found the need of trying things different. I've found the need to even try a different type of coffee - I've wanted it lighter, milder even delicate. Why so? I've found Kamen.

'This color reminds us of the rocky shore when the day gives way to the proud moon!' - Star Nails Bulgaria

Both the guys are marvelous - great behavior on nails, fast dry reactions, impressive presence. And what a single lady sould have / or not / to do with those two men? She can try to play with them ....Or not. Or she can just enjoy her cup of coffee in their amazing company.

I've needed to make the mani more tender. I've wanted more softened look. The matte finish did it more than perfect.

Hope you'll enjoy my coffee shades with these two gorgeous polishes. Which one you like more?

All yours,

Red Frog

P.S. This wasn't my first attempt with Petar and Kamen and the coffee theme. A month ago we've had our very first cup of coffee. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take my pictures at the right time. The three awful shots bellow were made at the 5th day of wearing the first 'Coffee Shades' mani. I've made them in the middle of one terrible working day and it's obvious in what desperate need of better care my hands were at this moment. It's easy to make the difference.

Me to You with Bourjois Dangereusement Rouge !!!!

Hello,lovelies...

There are polishes that don't need any comment or description.They 'speak'.They 'talk'.They 'tell' you stories.They even 'sing'.Depends of your eyes how you will hear them.Depends of the light what story would they tell you.Depends of your heart which song will they sing to you.Their songs are different every time.Tonight I have a singing legend for you - dark as black coffee,intense as aged wine,strong as old scotch.

He can talk.He can sing.He is Bourjois Dangereusement Rouge.

He talks to me...and than to you....

I'm back !!!!

Hello hello!
