#WhenColorsCollide vol.8 !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

Happy Monday and congrats for the amazing new collage for the latest #WhenColorsCollide be-weekly challenge. The theme this week was Pink and Teal. I love both the colors and using them together in this abstract  crazy pattern was quite a thrill. I wasn't able to choose just one technique for this design and finally end with two - dribble marble and blobbicure. It was a great mess and probably not the best decision but who cares - the end result worth it!

Now enjoy  the shots and take a look at the group collage on Instagram or Facebook -

#OMD3 - Day One - Teal nails !!!!

Hello, my lovelies….

It’s finally here! Oh Mon Dieu Nail Challenge 3 finally has started today! Happy 1^st of July, lovelies!

For those of you who don’t have a clue what the heck I’m talking about please feel welcome to take a look how the lovely  Jacqui aka Craftynail has explained it –

‘The OMD is a 31 day international nail art challenge with prizes.  For each of the 31 designs that you complete you earn a chance to win a prize in the end. You don’t have to participate every day in July, but the more days you enter the better your chance of winning a prize. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate either (instagram, facebook and other social media accounts qualify). The best part about the OMD? In August we’ll pick 5 random winners from different areas of the world who will win epic nail mail prizes! Don’t worry, our winners are picked at random. We don’t judge your nails.  Stay tuned for more info!   In mid-June we’ll post pics of the prizes and prompts.  All 31 prompts will be new and fresh for 2015- no repeats.  It’s going to be so fun!’

 
I’ll be honest with you, my lovelies – I won’t be able to enter all the 31 prompts but I promise to do my best. Now let's how my Teals came out.

 I'm really really happy with this mani. I've used some of my favorite techniques and polishes and finally the inspiration came back. I was pretty sure there will be no easy escape from the black hole I was in but/me like that kind of 'buts'/ ..... but here we go - a nice looking mixed and matched mani for the first day of Oh Mon Dieu Challange. 

If you, my lovelies, want to take part of the fun just add your mani to the reference page here.

Catch the Sun with Golden rose Carnival 12 !!!!

Hello,my lovelies...

I did it!!I cought some sunlight!!!And I cought it at the right moment for the right polish.

As you may know Golden Rose has released a new collection while ago - Carnival Nail Color.As one of my most favorite brands Golden rose made me happy again with this collection.It's hard to choose only one but we should be strong right?

So my 'strong' heart made its choice and here we go - number 12.

What we have in this gorgeous little bottle?

It's full of awesome hex matte particles in bright coral red,marvellous teal glitter ones,stunning black hex glitters in two sizes and for more spicy effect - little white bar glitters.And all these guys are dancing in a clear base which makes theis polish perfect for layering or why not and for glitter sandwiches.....Mmmmm,yammy.The brush is great - big,flat and easy to work with.The drying time....well,we all know - get yourself a good quick dry topcoat and all your problems won't stay longer.Applying is a little catchy but who cares?Look at that glitter bomb and you'll forget if it was snookered or not.

Now watch and enjoy!

Meet Manhattan - Aqua Sky and Cafe Beaute - part 1!!!!

Hello,lovelies...

Manhattan hits again with two new collections - 'Community Colors' and 'Manhattan and Playboy Super Nails'.Our friends from Taota company were fast and furious with sending samples of the new lines to the blogger community here in Bulgaria.Another big step closer to know each other better...

Up to the polishes.

Aqua Sky and Cafe Beaute.....

Aqua Sky - part of the Manhattan and Playboy Super Nails collection,the name gives you all you need to know about this guy here.He has the clear bright look of the summer sky - light but intense teal blue with amazing subtle shimmer in it.He's blue and cold as mountain lake waters - you can even see the dreamy foggy finish on your nails not only in the bottle.When we first met there was no 'wow'...for me.I needed more time to know him better.But than...but than I saw the sky hidden inside this bottle,I saw clouds kissing water surface....Just kiddin',guys...I put a base coat and the two coats of Aqua Sky and that was more than enough for me feeling satisfied. 

Great brush-big and flat,awesome coverage,pretty good drying time,'me' color....almost,final thoughts - me like it.

Cafe Beaute - one of the Community Colors,collection inspired by bloggers like us.Definitely not my type of finish.Definitely my type of color shade.What can I say?Great nude shade with a bit of bronze it it which looks marvellous next to his aqua teal brother but...that's all.Sorry,Manhattan,I just don't feel this one as close as the other.To make the surface smooth and even wasn'r easy at all - too much brush marks,strokes and etc.

It was a delightful pleasure to create the right design for these guys.Seeing them next to each other make the picture as clear as possible.Also the names were very inspiring so  here I am,lovelies....

Leaf me Alone ?!!

Why blue is the color of sadness and sorrow?Why we say 'I'm feelin' blue..' when we're sad and lonely?I just don't get it...Blue is the color of the sky - free and endless.Blue is the color of angel's eyes - kind and honest.Blue is the color of sapphires - mystic and marvelous.Blue is strong.Blue is powerful.Blue looks great on me.And I definitely don't feel blue wearing blue on my nails....

My blues and greens - Flormar 429,Kiko 335,Pastel 84 and some extra acrylics around them.... 

Anyone feelin blue?Paint your nails,grab your bag and go out for a drink with someone who makes you laugh.Or just take a long walk with your gorgeous blue nails - maybe someone will see how blue are you and will bring back the smile on your face...Or if you don't need anyone around you at the moment just put your 'leave me alone' face and enjoy at least yourself...Peace.

Impress me with Golden rose Impression 13 !!!!

They are here and they definitely are GORGEOUS - Golden Rose Impression collection !!

Great amount of colors and combinations in all that gorgeous bar glitters.It was very difficult to choose only one...Now I'm sure there will be a second shopping tour.These guys deserve to have their own shelf on my polish rack.

My choice - number 13 - clear base,black and blueish-teal bar glitters...Awesome contrast between the colors...A bottle full of sea breeze.

But...Yes there is a 'But'.You should have as much patience as it's possible for a woman to have.I tried this baby on its own and over a base coat of creme polish.What can I say?

On its own - pretty hard to cover the nail in one or two coats...three its ok but it's a bit sticky for my taste.No no no - don't even think I don't like it...I LOVE it.Who gives a sh*t about the coverage when there is a Seche or Posh around you?Not me believe me.This Impression is too gorgeous....

Over a base coat of creme polish - fairy-tale....one coat..well,thick coat...and that's all - you're done.

 See ya soon with Golden rose Holidays 58....Be sure to check out my Fb page and if you like what you see feel welcome to comment - Red Frog likes comments.
