Galaxy Nails for #WNAC2015 !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's finally time for me to post the next #WNAC2015 mani officially. The theme is very inspirational and extremely interesting for all nail art junkies around - Galaxy. Oh, excuse me - Holo Galaxy will be more correct.

So, no more blah blah let's just see the shots - 

 I've tried to make some decent photos but not the light nor my camera were there with me. There was no sunlight all day and the weather was so cloudy and dull so my photos became unfocused and not even close to what I've wanted. But that's the way it is - I'm showing you photos at both natural light and with a flash indoors. 

 I just couldn't resist to show you my first galaxy mani from 2012 -

 There is a little difference I hope.... At least my nails shape is better now.

Used - 

A-England Tristam - base color

Catherine Arley 674 

Catherine Arley 666 

Brooklin 3 - for the dotted stars that look more like planets but...let's all pretend they are stars 

Ruby rose 50 - also for the 'stars'

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,

Stripe on with Tristam and Catherine !!!!

Hello,lovelies...

Today I have three very special polishes to show you.I'm sure you know them quite well but you'll agree they deserve to show them more often.

A-England Tristam

Catherine Arley 801

Perfect S28

Tons of words have been written and said for these guys.But every word has no meaning without at least one photo..And believe me,these guys love to be in front of the camera.

Let's see how they act in front of my camera.

Doll's Dots with Pool Side Party by P2 !!!!

Good morning,lovelies...

I'm extremely happy to show you today's mani!!Why so?Take a seat,take your cup of coffee and let's see why....

Few weeks ago I took part in a nail art contest hosted by Beauty Expression by Luchessa and Polish Alcoholic - ladies,you are awesome!!!!The theme was named after the latest limited edition collection by P2 - Pool Side Party.

What was my surprise when I found I've won....You just can't imagine how happy was your Red frog.And a couple of weeks later these lovelies came home....Luchessa,you are a sweetheart!!!

These babies are fresh like a cold cocktail and bright as sunlight.They just scream 'SUMMER!!!'.All five have themed names - from left to right - 010 blue lagoon,020 turquoise sky,030 violet summerdream,040 sunshine yellow and 050 new wave.Really gorgeous!!

Some facts about these five beauties - 

Shades - as you can see - stunning!!!

Coverage - really good pigmentation..only the yellow one needs more attention and careful applying - two coats all except the Sunshine

Drying time - pretty good I think...but cool them for a minute before use cause the hot weather makes them a bit sticky

Final thoughts - I'm impressed how much I love them all!

St.George and Tristam .... a night with the knights !!!!

Finally...They are here...Long time waiting to see their beauty and to feel their power....You all have seen them already,you all have tried them ... maybe....but these are my nobel knights and I could not resist to show them to you.

St.George and Tristam - the knights of the night....

They both are as strong as their names are - opacity in the highest dimension,a pigment enough for a little army of polishes and colors so deep that make you feel .... hmm ... don't know how exactly they make me feel .... I just know this feeling is one of a time.I'm looking at my nails and the only thing I can imagine is how these guys are looking me in the eyes telling me : " M'lady,we are here to serve and protect you!Our lives are in your hands now and forever...." 

    Tristam - the courteous knight - The symbol of the knightly virtue, and romantic love. When Tristam and Iseult accidentally consume a love potion, fall helplessly in love. Despite facing numerous trials to test their secret affair their love was never known to fade.

  St.George - The knightly saint who perchanced upon this lamentable scene, freed the princess, slew the mighty dragon and restored peace throughout the kingdom, thereby winning the hand of Princess Sabra in holy matrimony.
