I was inspired by Illamasqua‘s newest collection called Throb. I’m not sure, what inspired me in particular. Maybe it was that beautiful promo photo or maybe the colors themselves. Whatever it was, I always like to experiment with make up and this was the first time I’ve tried to do a pin-up look. I can’t … Read more

I couldn’t get over the fact that polish is “left behind”, forgotten. Remember the China Glaze: Cloud Nine polish I shoved you a while ago? Nail crazy suggested I use white polish as a base and then layer Cloud Nine over it. Interesting tip. I used one layer of each polish. And blue glitter is … Read more

Winter just barely started, but we have “spring” outside. Everything is green and there is no snow to be seen. Spring flowers are starting to grow. I can not remember if we ever had January with temperatures over 10°C. Winter is coming back in a matter of days … as it should be, so nature … Read more
As some of you already noticed, new Catrice shade Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans looks a lot like new version of Essence Underwater polish. I have really quick comparison for you today … in case you have one and are wondering whether you need the other one too. : silly: If we compare the bottles … Read more
