All Eyes On Me by Essence - free hand nail art !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

While ago one of my favorite brands - Essence - has released a new limited edition trend line inspired by four fantastic bloggers - Mary Oliver from Strikeapose, Diana zur Löwen from Dfashion , Palmira from beautypalmira and  Serena Verbon from Beautylab

 - Essence Blogger's Secrets. The line contains four amazing eye shadow palettes in four different color combos and of course - four little bottles full of colored gorgeousness. I just could not resist the need to take couple of the gorgeous nail polishes home with me so here we go - me and Essence Bloggers' Beauty Secrets 03 All eyes on me.

 The shade is close to nude palette with a bit of grey inside. The finish is matte. Yep, matte all the way. Well, I've choose the glossy finish for this mani but the matte one is so tenderly delicate you just want to look at it all day long. The pigmentation is good and makes the application nice and flawless. 

So, we've got everything to bring all eyes on us.

Acid Dry Marble Nail Art with Flormar Full Color !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....
Good morning!

Yesterday I've posted a hint for today's mani on my IG - look here. And I've promised to bring some brightness in your day. So, here we are - me and the claws. Hope you'll enjoy these acid shorties as much as I do.

 And just because my left hand feels neglected lately let me show you how the lefties look like. Yes, I know. The claws are with different length. Why so? No reason. Two hands - two lengths. Who cares that much? Me? Definitely No.

Magnetic mix with Golden rose !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's time for a late night post with simple and a bit geometric outfit for the claws. After all the gorgeous manis I've seen lately here and there I've thought it's the perfect time for a magnetic pattern. There's been a long time since I've used my magnetic polishes and I was completely forgot about them. After seeing this awesomeness on my nails I will definitely play again with Golden rose Magnetic very soon.....

Meet Manhattan: Nude Sandy !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

I've finally found some extra free time to try one of the latest Manhattan creations from the Last&Shine collection - Nude Sandy. The only thing I'm sorry for is that my camera just refuses to give its best to this polish. The shade looks too milky on my photos but that's the best I'm able to give.... till the time a new camera falls in my hands.

So, back to the polish.

Last&Shine line by Manhattan is one of the latest line of products the brand has released. The polishes are dressed in beautiful square bottles packed with the Fast & Easy brush. There's a great variety of shades and I've been lucky to receive one of those I've wanted badly. 

Nude Sandy.

  For the photos I've put a layer of nail hardener instead my regular base and two coats of Nude Sandy. Of course everything was sealed with my beloved Seche Vite. What can I say? Nude Sandy is well pigmented and has a nice application for such a light shade. The formula is a bit tricky but the results are good with careful applying.The shade is so vanilla that I was wondering why there's nothing 'vanilla' in the name....  It has a gorgeous subtle shimmer that gives amazing depth to the color.
Can give 5 from 6 to this beauty and definitely will try it as a base for nail art.

 All yours,

Red Frog

Favorite Nudes vol.4 - Perfect Sand Lacquer and Catherine Arley !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

It’s time for the next couple of my favorite nude polishes - Perfect Sand Lacquer S67 and Catherine Arley 32. You’ve seen them few days ago along with the cute black and white dotted rhinestones from Born Pretty Store – click here to take a look again if you’re interested. What can I say about these guys here? They are just perfect for each other. The different finishes compliments one another in really delicate way. The color shades are more on the dark nude side but definitely look gorgeous on all skin types. If your skin is more yellow-ish like mine these two give a warmer look to the hands. Oh, I can continue with more and more blah blah but think that photos are better than words.

Yeah, I know – it’s just perfection. The sand finish gives a hint of playful feeling to the mani. Catherine Arley 32 is almost a crelly type of polish but two generous coats can make a nice even and very opaque look. It dries pretty fast with nothing special like super glossy own finish so I’ve thought it’s better to put a layer of Seche Vite/I just don’t like to wait/. Perfect Sand Lacquer S67 has a very tasty caramel look or it’s just me a bit hungry for something sweet. It’s quite opaque in just two coats and the drying time is a dream. The sand  finish is not too gritty and it has very tender subtle shimmer inside it.

So that’s all for tonight. Sweet dreams, lovelies….

All yours,
