    Quick post for a simple manicure that turned out way prettier than I imagined :)

    Totally lacking any kind of inspiration for the title of this post, so it's just a description of my manicure: double accents using Zoya Evvie and ILNP Timeless Vow:

  • Hi everyone!


    I had such high hopes. I was going to spend an entire evening playing with polish and come up with the most amazing design! And then... my sister in law called that my two nieces had a ballet recital and grandma had gotten sick and grandpa was going to stay home to take care of her, so there were two empty seats and two very sad girls. So I had to choose: stay inside all nice and warm and cozy with yummy snacks and nail polish or go outside into the cold, the rain, the hail, to a theatre to see a bunch of little girls jump up and down and twirl as if their life depended on it...

    So of course I went to the ballet recital (you must have guessed that already) and instead of taking all the time in the world to create a dazzling design I picked three colors that looked nice together, grabbed a dotting tool and did my nails in the ten minutes that I had left after getting ready for the evening with this result:

    Last week I had a lot of appointments where green, blue and/or rainbow colored nails just weren't appropriate. So neutrals it was and I have been looking all grown up and mature for a while (not to worry, inside the rainbows were playing poker with the glitters ;)

    This is what my nails looked like after they had an adult makeover:

    A different post this time, no polish to be found, but it's still nail related so don't worry :)

    A while ago I read a review for Aveniro glass files and in it was a new product that I was very interested in: a glass manicure stick. I contacted the company to ask if they could direct me to a reseller. They asked me if I would be interested in testing out some of their products and write a review about my experience. I was very happy to accept as I've been using a glass file for almost as long as I've been polishing my nails and I've been curious to find out if Czech glass files really are as special as the reviews say they are. About a week later a small package was delivered and inside I found these files:

    It's that time again... the moment that I have to confess once again that I did paint my nails, I even took pictures but I didn't sit down to write a post about it... I'm so sorry :'(
    But it also means you get not one, not two, but three manicures in one post today :)

    Here's number one, a skittle using Cirque Topless in Times Square and Il était un vernis Pinot Noir:

    Cirque Colors Topless in Times Square,
    Il était un vernis Pinot Noir,
    Il était un vernis Live, Love, Laugh
    I started out by painting two coats of Cirque Topless in Times Square, a lovely beige creme that dries extremely glossy, on my middle and ring finger. My thumb and index were done in one (!!!) coat of Il était un vernis Pinot Noir, a beautiful deep red that seems to lean a tiny bit to the pinker side. My pinky was done in three thin coats of Il était un vernis Live, Love, Laugh. A quick stamp with Pinot Noir and Born Pretty plate BP-17 on my ring finger and a coat of Seche Vite on all my nails and another fall ready manicure was done!

    Halloween isn't very big over here but of course I couldn't resist doing at least one Halloween manicure. This is what my nails looked like yesterday:
