Swatch: Mahnattan - Wet Shot Look - 53U nail polish and 46D lip gloss by Maestra

Manhattan – Wet Shot Look – Summer 2010

I spotted a new collection by Manhattan yesterday. It’s called Wet Shot Look. There are six water flash lipgosses in the collection and three wet shot lotus effect nail polishes. I bought the most pigmented lip gloss in the collection (46D) and the matching nail polish (53U). The 46D lip gloss is very pigmented and … Read more

Gabrini 371, Butterfly 387, CND Sapphire Sparkle bottles

Layering: Butterfly 387 and CND Sapphire Sparkle over Gabrini 371

If you check my nail polish collection closely, you’ll quickly find out that “layering” polishes get more wear time than other polishes. I simply love layering and what better to use than polishes with interesting shimmer and glitter in see-through base.  A while ago I bought two distant relatives to my darling CND effects. Today … Read more

Swatch: Rescue Beauty Lounge - Moxie

Rescue Beauty Lounge – Moxie

What a beautiful shade! It looks stunning with darker skin. Although it’s frosty and a bit sheer, I think it’s divine. Love it! Two coats shown in the picture. I only have two RBL polishes (Moxie and Opaque Nude) and I have to say that I’m not that impressed (formula wise) by them. They dry … Read more

p2 Lovely swatch by Parokeets

p2: Divine and Lovely

p2 Divine and Lovely are one of the few light shades in my nail polish collection. And I really mean few. Divine is very pretty (dirty) white shade with gorgeous shimmer that sparkles like little diamonds. But I just could not capture all that sparkling on to the photo.  Application was OK, but I used … Read more

p2 Fancy + p2 Glamour + Essence Hide BellaHide + m70 IP konadicure

Comparison: Essence Hide Bella Hide vs. p2 Glamour

I bought Hide Bella Hide from Essence Eclipse TE only because it looked like a good polish for konading. It wasn’t long I spotted an almost dupe in my collection – p2 Glamour, so I made a comparison. I used two layers of p2 Galmour on my ring finger and two coats of Essence Hide … Read more

Too Faced Sephora Haul

Too Faced haul and EOTD

I was shopping at Sephora yesterday. Among other (two nail polishes, a lip gloss and an eyeshadow) I bought my first Too Faced product! I’m excited! Look, what I got! I love the funny writings on their packaging, like “Product tested on celebrities not animals” or “Forget Wall St., invest in make-up!” Aren’t they funny? … Read more

Essence Undead? (Eclipse TE) swatch by Parokeets

Essence Undead? (Eclipse TE)

Hundred times seen Essence Undead? polish from Eclipse TE … one swatch more won’t hurt, right?  :D I like the base, shimmer also, but in my opinion this shade lacks depth. If I find time in a near future, I’ll play around with it and create something more to my liking. I used two layers … Read more
