Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone ^_^/

How are you all enjoying the Halloween weekend? I am sure you're all having fun hehehe

Although I didn't manage to do any Halloween manicures due to my injury I am going to share some Halloween nail sets that I made for my etsy store instead ^_^

I used all sorts of nail polishes, rhinestones, glitters and decals and it was so much fun working on these.
I just wish I could do something on  my nails too as I had so many ideas.

Still it was great fun seeing all the Halloween manicures you guys shared on your blogs too ^_^

the Greek files #2

Hello everyone ^_^/

Today I have the second instalment of the Greek files and I will present to you some nail polishes from a very well known Greek brand, Korres.

Their nail polish colour collection is very basic but it is readily available in many pharmacies around Greece so I picked a few colours to present to you.

I tried to cover a variety of colours so I have a red, a purple and three pinks.
All the colours are cremes and for the swatches I used two coats of each.

For the polish names just click on the photos to make them larger. The formula is very easy to use and I like the finish. I hope they will enrich their collection with more colours and finishes.

Do you have Korres where you live? What is your opinion of this brand?

Deco class in Tokyo

Hello everyone ^_^/

today is a national holiday here so I spent my day swatching for future blog posts. Instead of that though today I will share something from my trip in Tokyo. My deco class with the lovely Kotone-san from 310carat in Ueno.

As I spent quite some time in Tokyo this summer, I thought it would be a good idea to get together with an experienced deco professional and learn some tips and tricks that I didn't know so I can improve my deco skills.

So with the help of my friend Kaoru we arranged a deco class. As I am not a begginer I was mostly interested in seeing how a professional works and learn some secrets of the trade so to say.

The whole experience was great fun and I got great tips on what products to use (i.e. what is the best glue) and how to lay out supplies while working ^_^

Here are a few photos of what took place.

 If you want to deco a whole phone case, you will need a lot of supplies.

 Kotone-san had minx done on her nails so I had to take a pic to share with fellow nail enthusiasts.

If you like deco and you would like to bling up your phones or just get your hands on some cute deco accessories, take a look at my etsy and zibbet stores. I also accept custom requests ^_^

China Glaze Kaleidoscope holos

Hello everyone ^_^/

Another weekend is coming to a close. I hope you all had fun.

A couple of days ago my dear friend T-san came to hang out. As always we talk nails and check all the latest trends and designs together. So it's not wonder that my holo mania has passed on to her as well.

So I gave her a holographic manicure using China Glaze Octa Gone Wild and Kaleidoscope Him Out from the Kaleidoscope collection. Each colour is two coats without top coat.

The result was breathtaking as you can see.

Here is a super zoom in to see the colours better.

The purple holo is Octa Gone Wild and the blue one is Kaleidoscope Him Out.

Do you have any of these colours? What is your opinion?

Duochrome Holographic Nails

Hello everyone ^_^/

wow, it's almost the weekend already. Another week just flew by.
My plan was to post this on Tuesday but I guess that didn't work out as planned.

Here is a duochrome holographic mani with Glitter Gal's purple holographic and Sally Hansen's prisms in a pink unidentified colour, both sent to me by the lovely 'Chelle in our recent swap ^_^

Both colours are two coats with a layer of Seche on top. See how shiny and colourful my nails are?

And here are the individual colours with the polishes for reference.

I am absolutely loving both of these colours. I think I am going through a major holo phase and I just can't stop staring at my nails. I am still wearing this mani and almost a week later it still looks fantastic (and getting a lot of compliments).
