Estessimo TiNS haul, magical bottles full of glitter

Hello everyone ^_^

Today I want to share with you one of my most favourite nail polish brands. In my opinion, it's maybe the best right next to Anna Sui. Years ago when most brands just had red, pink and sheer colours, this brand was showering nail art enthusiasts with glitter. It's none other than Estessimo TiNS, a Japanese nail polish brand. I first found out about it, while reading Japanese magazines and every time I was in Japan I would pick up a bottle or two.




But I was always looking for a place to buy them online that would ship internationally. Recently my wish was granted as I came across Mei Mei's Signatures. In the last couple of months I placed a few orders, trying to collect my Estessimo TiNS lemmings (that have been piling up over the years XD)

And here they are

On the top row, from left to right we have: the Happy Milk , the Dreamy Magic, Vanessa's Horoscope, the Amethyst, the Perfect Prince and the Saturn.
On the bottom row, from left to right we have: the Pink Sapphire, the Juicy Banana, the Sacred Shine, the Alluring Aquamarine, the Precious Diamond, Macaron Framboises and the Stunning Rock Star. Let me mention that most of these are glitters apart from  the Alluring Aquamarine, the Precious Diamond and the Stunning Rock Star that are holographics.

Of course since I got them, I have been wearing them non stop, so here are some recent manicures with these beauties.

 On the top left I am wearing Estessimo TiNS the Mars, a sparkly red glitter that I had bough back in Japan.
In the top left and in the middle photos I am wearing Estessimo TiNS Vanessa's Horoscope, stamped with white Konad nail polish using the FUN2 image plate that I recently got from Fab Ur Nails.
And on the bottom row, you can see my current mani, Estessimo TiNS the Pink Sapphire. The photos don't do these beauties justice as they are fabulous when you see them up close but I did my best ^_^

How do you like this brand dear readers? Do you own any of these nail polishes? Would you like to see the rest of my TiNS stash? Or is there any specific colour that you would like to see in detail?

p.s. as always, you can click on the photos for bigger versions ^_^

Ludurana Supremo, covered with stars

Hello everyone ^_^/

As you might know, I adore holographic nail polishes. And it's been quite some time since I showed you one, so for today, here is Ludurana Supremo, a fantastic lilac holographic nail polish.



I am always on the lookout for new holo shades so as soon as I saw the Ludurana Aurora Boreal series I knew I wanted to try one of the colours. I settled for Supremo as I didn't have a lilac holo in my collection. I applied two coats of the NfuOh Aqua base, which works wonders for holographic nail polishes.



I recently got the new Konad image plates, M84 and M85 from my friend 'Chelle so I wanted to try them out. I decided to use the stars designs as they were super cute. For stamping I used Color Club's Where's the Soiree, a black nail polish that turned out to be perfect for stamping. I carefully sealed everything with Seche Vite and this is the final result.


Do you like this combination? Or do you think stamping reduces the beauty of the nail polish underneath?

the Greek files #8 and a NOTW

Hello everyone ^_^/

today marks the end of a long weekend for us here and I have yet another version of the Greek files along with a NOTW.


A few weeks ago I picked up some nail colours from local brands to swatch.
Amongst them was Seventeen #501 a fabulous dark purple with silver glitter. It looked fun in the bottle and purple always catches my eye. But when I saw it on my nails, I was blown away!



It is one of the prettiest purple polishes I have ever owned. I applied two coats over base coat. The formula was perfect and I had full coverage with two coats. I didn't apply any top coat and it dried quite fast.


I liked the colour so much that I didn't want to take it off. So I decided to spice it up and keep it for the week (I usually do my nails once or maximum twice a week as I am quite busy most of the time). I went for a silver x purple combination to match the nail polish as best I could.

Here is what I used


Seventeen #501
Essence Blair
Essence silver stampy polish
Seche Vite top coat
Bundle Monster plates 225 and 211 from the new set.

And this is the final result.


I think that #500 is one of the prettiest colours in the Seventeen collection and definitely my favourite purple right now.

For a chance to win some Greek nail polishes along with other goodies don't forget to enter my ongoing giveaway ^_^

Orly Velvet Rope manicure and ring

Hello everyone ^_^/

while you are reading this, I will be strolling around beautiful Vienna with my darling.
But I queued up a couple of posts so my blog won't be left behind while I travel.

For this post I have chosen to show you a manicure I did a while ago, that goes well with the day I think.
For the base I used two coats of Orly Velvet Rope, one of my favourite purple nail polishes.
Then on the ring finger I put silver spangles and on the index fingers I stamped some flowers using China Glaze Millenuim. Sealed everything with a coat of Seche and the my nails were ready!


I loved how the combination turned out, so I decided to make a matching ring as well.
For those who are interested, I will post a tutorial on how I made this at a later time.
It was very easy and fun ^_^

Born Pretty Store

Hello everyone ^_^/

Easter is approaching and I have so many lovely nail polishes and manicure ideas but the weather is so gloomy and keeps ruining my photography plans.
So instead of a manicure, today I want to present to you the Born Pretty store, a perfect place to get a great variety of nail art goods at very reasonable prices. A while ago I received a very kind offer from them and as I love playing around with my nails, I couldn't refuse. A few days ago I received a package for reviewing purposes and as soon as I opened it, I found some fabulous nail art goods inside.


Here is what was included:

* A variety of cute nail decals
* Rhinestone wheel
* Black crackle nail polish
* Nail art dotting tool set
* Hello Kitty nail stamping set



All the items came carefully packaged and I was very excited to test them out.

First of all I had to test the crackle polish.



I layered it over a purple nail polish and I have to say I am impressed by the way it crackles. The final effect reminds me of stained glass.

And here is how Hello Kitty nail stamp comes out, accentuated with pink rhinestones.



What do you think about these nail art goods? Would you use any of these?
Do you think they are convenient or too much of a fuss?

If you would like to try out some of these yourself, Born Pretty has kindly offered the readers of my blog a 10% off with the code CEL10K31 until the end of June.

Riva mani followup and a Swarovski ring

Hello everyone ^_^/

how are you today? I am warming up by the fireplace, while writing this post.

Remember my Chanel Riva manicure from the previous post? After having it on for a couple of days I decided I wanted to spice it up a bit. So I whipped out my Konad stamping plates, OPI DS Extravagance and Essence Clyde and this is what I came up with.



I really like the end result, especially how Clyde looks layered over Riva. And I am surprised at the excellent stamping abilities of DS Extravagance, that was something I wasn't really expecting! I sealed everything with a coat of Seche Vite top coat and my mani is still as good as new ^_^

Do you see the ring I am wearing in the first photo? It was gifted to me by Chunky Bling, my new affiliate. It is a lovely ring with clear Swarovski crystals.



I usually prefer wearing huge rings, but this sparkly beauty is hard to pass by. I love wearing it in sunny weather because the Swarovski crystals are so shiny. And it goes great with all my manicures too ^_^

If you would like to check out their whole Swarovski jewellery collection, you can check the Chunky Bling website.

Asian flavour manicure

Hello everyone ^_^/

How are you all doing? Getting ready for the weekend?
I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy yourselves.
As for me I can finally relax a bit and share another manicure with you.
I call it an Asian flavour manicure.



This turned out to be one of my favourite manis ever and to be honest I was just improvising as I went on.
I used nail polishes and nail art supplies from my recent swap with 'Chelle (from Cosmetic Cupcake) and an Essence image plate.


After applying the Orly tough cookie base coat, I painted my nails two coats of Mode's Jaded.

It's a lovely nail polish, with a rich colour which was quite sheer in two coats though as you can see.
But I was content with them as I had other plans for this mani.

I sponged diagonal french tips using Chic Chic 38 and then using  NYC midnight I stamped various images from the Essence nail plate on my nails. Midnight proved perfect for stamping as all the images came out perfect.




Sealed everything with a coat of Seche and I was done.




I did this 4 days ago and my nails are still 100% chip free. I am loving this so much that I don't want to take it off. The colours somehow remind me of kimono fabrics and Asian prints. What do you think?

Collection 2000 Wham + CND Amethyst Sparkle

Hello everyone ^_^/

A few days ago I was hanging out with my cousin and she asked me to do a quick mani for her.
As grey is really in this season and she wanted to try a grey mani, this is what I came up with.



A cool grey manicure with purple sparkles.
She got a lot of compliments on the look so here is a quick run down of the process.

After applying base coat, I applied two coats of Collection 2000 in Wham, a lovely creme grey.



Then using Chez-Delaney image plate H3 and a black nail polish from Miss Sporty (which I find perfect for nail stamping) I stamped this image on every nail.






In the end I used a coat of CND's amethyst sparkle and a coat of Seche and voila!

Black fishnet on purple nails

Hello everyone ^_^/

It's super hot here today and I just got up as the heat is unbearable. 29C right now and expected to reach 35 by noon *melts*

But anyway, before I melt from the heat, here is a new manicure.
The base I used is a purple polish by Gosh, on top of that black fishnet using Konad m57 and a black polish by miss sporty.





Now excuse me while I go hide in the fridge so I can make it through the day.

SIlver nails

Hello everyone ^_^/

A few weeks back I bought a new silver colour by Erre Due so I wanted to try it out.

At first after applying two coats I used some PA nail stickers with gemstones.



But as expected they didn't last for more than a couple of days so I decided to keep the silver base and try something different.

After carefully removing the sticker leftovers, I used my konad plates and some black polish and this is what I came up with.





Black sakura :D

I really like how they turned out in the end.
