Nails, nails and more nails!

Hello everyone ^_^/

As my vacation goes on, I wanted to show you some nails I did for friends lately.

First up is a holographic mani with a gothic feel that I did for my friend Sophia BSC.

I used NfuOh #63 and Deborah Lipmann Bad Romance as my base colours. Adding some black BarryM crackle and a few Japanese nail decals, the end result was quite impressive ^_^

Next up is P. She is my best friend since forever and she generally doesn't like painting her nails. But when she saw Hard Candy's Mr Right she wanted to give it a go. After applying two coats of the polish I used a coat of the BYS matte top coat for a more interesting look. She loved it and said it looked like leather.

And finally the usual suspect, T-chan. I always love doing her nails as she has such pretty hands and nails perfect for every look. This time we went for a simple duochrome that I picked up at Claire's when I was in Vienna. The colour changes from blue to green, with hints of purple.

That's all from me for today.

On a sidenote don't forget to enter my Let's celebrate summer Giveaway for a chance to win some really cute jewellery, it's open until August 15 ^___^

Purple, glitter and duochrome! Yes, please!

Hello everyone ^_^/

It's a lovely Sunday and time for another post too.

Today I will show you the mani I did for my recent trip to London.
I was going through my stash and found a bunch of Sinful Colors polishes that I haven't used, plus I recently randomly discovered Sally Hansen's Garnet Lapis at a local store so I decided to combine all these in a manicure and see what will happen. And this is what I got.

Here are all the nail polishes that I used.

From left to right, Seche Vite top coat, Sinful Colors I Miss You, Daddy's Girl and I Love You, Sally Hansen Garnet Lapis and Color Club Vitabase.

First I painted half of my nails with Daddy's Girl and half with I Love You.

The colours look quite similar in the bottle but on the nails Daddy's Girl is a more blueish purple (it's on my pinky and middle finger).
Then I painted some nails with I Miss You and some with Garnet Lapis. Topped everything with Seche Vite and I was ready to go.

It was very interesting seeing how differently I Miss You looked on Daddy's Girl and I Love You. Garnet Lapis on the other hand looked the same over each colour.

Recently I do not have enough time to do my nails which is why you haven't seen a lot of nail art or stamping from me, but I found that combining different colours and finishes is another way of spicing up a manicure. Also this one lasted almost 10 days with no chipping whatsoever, even when I was dragging my overstuffed suitcase at the airport!

On another note I would like to let you all know that my giveaway is now closed.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I am really happy and touched by all your sweet messages *^_^*

I now need to verify and count the entries and then I will announce the winners. Also as during my giveaway, my blog passed the 1000 followers mark, I picked up a couple of special items from London that will be a 1000 follower special prize. The winner of that will be picked from all my current followers and will be announced along with the winners of my giveaway.

Hope you're all having a fab weekend :)

A manicure in Vienna

Hello everyone ^_^/

it's raining cats and dogs outside so I am sitting here doing some deco work but I decided to take a small break and show you a quick mani I did while in Vienna. As my nails were dying from the travelling I decided to change my mani for Easter Sunday.

I used the below polishes

American Apparel Dynasty, Essence Where's the party?, Essence It's Purplicious and Essence the better than gel nails top coat. I was very impressed with the top coat as the final result was fabulous indeed. I applied two coats and my nails were super shiny! I definitely recommend it!


And this is the end result!

And here is a bonus shot out in the sun!

And now back to work I go as I have promised jewellery design previews and I don't want to delay them any longer!

Ozotic pro 502 and NARS zulu dupe

Hello everyone ^_^

it's a lovely rainy morning here and I have a new manicure to share!
It is my first mani with some of the lovely polishes I got from my dear friend 'Chelle (check my previous post for more if you haven't).

After much thinking I decided to try Chic Chic 23 and the infamous Ozotic Pro 502 first.

Chic Chic is a brand from Hong Kong and number 23 has the same colour as NARS Zulu. I don't actually own NARS zulu but judging from the photos I have seen I think that the colour seems to be the same indeed.
I had no application issues with this polish although it was a bit thick so I applied only one coat to be able to see the colour better.

 As you can see the colour is a lovely dark green.

But I just couln't stop there, I wanted to spice it up a bit. So I applied a coat of Ozotic pro 502 over it and this is the final result. Unfortunatelly after painting a coat of Seche on top of Ozotic it shrunk in a couple of places. I will try another top coat next time.

I really love this polish, depending on the light it takes on a different colour, from copper to burgundy with hints of green. As I find it quite thin I wouldn't use it on it's own because I think it would need many layers for perfect coverage. But I find it perfect for layering. Ozotic Pro is an Australian brand with a fabulous colour range from what I have seen but it is quite hard to find.

Do you own any Ozotic Pro nail polishes? I am really thankful to 'Chelle for going to all the trouble of getting this for me as I know these polishes are very hard to find, even for people who live in Australia.

the Greek files #4

Hello everyone ^_^/

almost a month has passed since my last Greek Files post so here is another one.

Today I will present to you some nail polishes from Deborah. This brand is not Greek but it is readily available in many beauty stores here and has a fabulous colour selection. Judging from the bottles I would say the brand is Italian but I could be wrong.

So here are my three favourite colours from them.

18 a lovely dark pink with gold shimmer

19 an intense black with multicoloured glitter

36 a deep purple/green duochrome of sorts with silver shimmer

Below you can see them on my nails. Each colour is two coats without base or top coat.

I think 17 could use a third coat as I can still see the nail line but they other colours look great with just two coats. 36 looks like a duocrhome in the bottle but the effect is not that visible when worn. Out of the three I think my favourite is the black, such a fabulous colour!

What do you think of this brand? Have you heard of it before?

Peacock Nails follow up

Hello everyone ^_^/

How are you today?
As I was saying yesterday I was itching to Konad my peacock feather nails. So this is what I did.
I used Nubar Star Sparkle on two nails and on the rest Erre Due 197, clear rhinestones and Konad plate m65. Sealed with Seche Vite top coat and this is the end result.





I really like how the silver looks on this but what really amazed me was Star Sparkle. It definitely lives up to its name.

On a sidenote Gatumi is holding a Massive Summer Giveaway where you can win the following goodies

Nubar peacock feathers

Hello everyone ^_^/

How are you today? The weather here is getting warmer so I am in the mood for some colours that would be great for the beach too.

So I decided to try Nubar Peacock Feathers.
A classic colour, I had my eye on it for quite some time.
I love how the colour keeps changing from blue to green to purple.

3 layers without topcoat and this is how it looks like.







Now I am itching to konad over this but I am not sure what colour I should use. Silver or maybe purple? Or gold? Any suggestions?
