Maestra found Alessandro Go Magic! – Royal Crash set on one of her journeys and she kindly picked up one for me. My set consists of: Crash Base (gold), Crash Coat (black crack polish) and Top Coat. First I applied two coats of Gold Base polish. It was easy to apply and it dried pretty quickly. Golden color + foil ...

Our reader Marta said that Tease-y Does It reminded her of another gorgeous polish Melanzana Glitter made by Collistar. Marta, thanks for your comment, I would never think of this comparison. And you know what? These polishes are indeed very close, but not dupes. Polishes look nothing alike in the bottles. Only the shimmer or small flakes look similar. After ...

Surprisingly I loved Glow Up Already! more than Show It ...

Zauberwald (= Magic Forest) is a limited edition made by Alverde. It’s a very nice collection. The colors are all nice and earthy. There are a lot of items in the collection, ranging from eyeshadows, blushes, lip glosses, eyeliners, mascaras to lip colours. I bought my stuff a while ago in Austria. The swatches. I really love the eyeshadow Magic ...

Without the doubt, p2 Gorgeous! is the winner of yesterdays contest. Gorgeous is really gorgeous violet polish, that applies beautifully. It has little bit thicker formula, so you can get away with only one layer … if you use a little bit more polish. As with other p2 polishes, brush is very easy to guide. I used 2 layers + ...
