Hi. I’m back and this is what was on my nails over the weekend while I was in Prague. I just realised that Raindrops polish looks bluish in the photo above. Well, IRL it’s not. It’s grey. I don’t know how I didn’t notice that sooner. I’m sorry for the misleading photo. Raindrops is a sheer grey polish with tiny ...

I borrowed few of Maestra’s beauty products to serve as “models” for Gallery images. Among them was Illamasqua Sangers lipstick.
