NOTD: Make It Golden

Hello everybody!


I hope you started the New Year with joy and good thoughts!


I want to show you what I wore on my nails on New Year's Eve. I went with a layering combo, instead of stamping!







For this manicure I used Essence - Underwater:











Then I added one coat of Essence - Make it golden:


 








I also did a manicure for my friend using Make it golden, but I layered it over OPI - Jade is the new black.











What do you think? Do you have this polish? What combos did you make using it?


And I'm curious... what was your manicure on New Year's Eve? (leave me a link so I can see it!)

KOTD: Christmas tree lights

Hello everybody!


How are you? Are you preparing for Christmas?


Today I will show you another Christmas manicure.





For this manicure I used OPI - Jade is the new black. Then I stamped a design from image plate M63 using Konad special black polish. Afterwards, I added some dots using a dotting tool and Konad special white polish and Konad special yellow polish. 


Here are some more pictures:

KOTD: Snowflakes

Hello!


Here is another Christmas design!





I used p2 - Virgin as a base (I forgot to take pictures before I stamped the design :D) and then I stamped the snowflake from image plate BM14 using Essence twins - Chuck and OPI - Suzy says Feng Shui.











And here are the snowflakes I did for a friend of mine:





I used p2 - Divine as a base, sponged some Konad special White polish and then I added the same snowflake from BM14 using a special stamping polish (the brand doesn't have a name) and Avon - Twilight Blue.


Do you like them? Did you make a snowflake manicure? Leave me a link so I can see yours!

NOTD: Snowman & Istanbul

Hello!


Here is a manicure I did for a party this weekend:



I used OPI - Suzy says Feng Shui (2 coats) and then I applied some Konad Special White polish using the sponge method.






After the nail polish was perfectly dry, I applied a water decal I bought from Ebay a few weeks ago:




 After that I applied 2 more designs on my thumb :)






In the end I added some Essence glitter top coat (only on the fingers without water decals)

I must say I love the result. The water decals were very easy to apply. I will do another manicure with them tomorrow.
Do you like it?


If you wondered why I haven't posted anything in the last 2 days.. here is the answer: I've been to Istanbul for a few days. 
Here are some photos:

















I love this city and I will go back as many times as I can!
Have you been to Istanbul?

NOTD & KOTD: OPI - Jade is the new black & M63

I wanted "Jade is the new black" since I first saw it. I must say I just love this color. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.


These are taken with flash (2 coats)


 
 
 Shade, No flash:

 And then I added a design from plate M63. I used China Glaze - Emerald Fitzgerald to stamp the design:
 










What do you think?

LE: I forgot to show you the second nail polish lover in my house: :D

I also stamped a design from plate M63, with Special black polish from Konad.

I really like the color and the design. I think it looks a bit like a water marble manicure :)
This is one of my favorite designs.


What do you think?

I won :) & Nail Expo

A few days ago, Natsuko organized a very original giveaway. She said that she will give a prize to the person who had the 1733th comment on her blog (or if she was the one with that number - to the person before her). I think this was a good idea to make people interact more :)
Lucky for me, I had the 1732th comment (1733th was hers)


Because we both live in Bucharest, we decided to meet, not just to send the prize through mail. 
So we met today at Nail Expo (you can see pictures on her blog).


I want to say that she is great, she made me very, very happy and I really want to thank her. 
Here is what I received from Natsuko:



- OPI - Suzy says Feng Shui
- OPI - Jade is the new black
- OPI - Cajun Shrimp
- Rimmel - Blue Vogue
- Maybelline - Metallic Rose
- 2 nail stickers sheets (I forgot to put one in the picture)


She actually read my wishlist and bought two of the nail polishes I wanted so bad. 
I am already trying one of the new polishes (I'm waiting for the first coat to dry :D)


As for the Nail Expo.. I saw some great polishes there (China Glaze, Essie, Zoya, Orly), I bought a Special Black polish from Konad and a new image plate and some nail stickers.


That's it for now!
Have a great weekend!

NOTD: Short, but bold :))

Last week it was a busy week for me: I had my graduation ceremony and the prom. This is what I did for the occasion:





I used: Alix Avien no. 155 (two coats) for the base, Konad Special White polish for the design and image plate M79.


Before the prom, 3 of my nails broke and I fixed them with nail glue (you can't even tell in the photos), but afterward I cut them all (I don't like to have different nail sizes), so .. here are my EXTREMELY short nails, but of course, with Konad :D


 


I used Alix Avien no. 202 (one coat) for the base, OPI - Sand in my suit for the design and image plate M57.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





I am happy that I reached 100 followers (103 actually) so I want to thank you all very much for following me and please, bare with me for a little longer. After my final exam in November, I will do more NOTD and KOTD, but now I just don't have the time.. Thanks!
