Zoya Casey swatch

Zoya: Casey

I have to show you something really pretty today. What do you think of Zoya: Casey? While I was going through my Zoya collection, I realized I never wore Casey. Since I felt kind of bad about it, so I decided to wear it right away. Application itself was not problematic, but unfortunately it is … Read more

Pin-Up Nails by Maestra

Pin-Up Look with Illamasqua’s Throb collection

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

American Apparel: Cotton swatch by Parokeets

China Glaze: Cloud Nine over white base

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

Swatch: Manhattan - Nude Couture: Rosewood lipstick

Manhattan – Nude Couture LE – Rosewood lipstick

Finally Manhattan‘s Nude Couture collection is available in Slovenia. The star of the collection is a beautiful nude lipstick called Rosewood. I bought mine quite some time ago in Austria. It’s indeed a nice everyday lipstick. I think it looks good against almost every skin color (but I might be mistaken). The pigmentation is OK. … Read more

Nfu_Oh_Pure_Colors_282

Nfu-Oh 282 nail polish

Today I have for you violet polish – Nfu Oh #282. This shade is part of the Pure Colors series. I’m a purple lover, so I was satisfied with the shade. Opacity was little bit less satisfying – I needed three layers to cover up visible nail line. Another minus for this shade is that … Read more

Giraffe Look by Maestra

A giraffe of the day

Are you wondering what the heck does this title mean? I bet you are. Well, sometimes I just don’t feel like the standard “NOTD: China Glaze – Classic Camel” types of titles. I think titles like that are boring. But I know that titles like that are reader-friendly, because they tell the reader exactly, what … Read more

If there is no snow in January…

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
